  1. 4 years to get ADN? Is this just stupid?

    hollyster replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I went to NS, it was two years prerequ.s and two years for the Nursing classes. I still wonder why the BSN students take the classes we took as prereqs during their regular nursing

  2. Hard of Hearing Nurses? Possible? How?

    hollyster replied to CareerThree's topic in Nursing Career

    One of the pulmunologist that I previously worked with was so HOH that he could not hear a regular conversation. He had an electronic stethescope that could pick up every noise. He would walk in pts...

  3. can CNAs refuse patient care?

    hollyster replied to Ms.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with Angie. It is better for everyone involved to change the pt's caregiver. We had one pt bite a nurse and would not let go. The nurse had a deep wound and a huge bruise. No stitches, just...

    hollyster replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

  8. CE BROKER - Help!

    hollyster replied to RNPATL's topic in Florida Nursing

  9. Need advice!!

    hollyster replied to nursejennie76's topic in Emergency

    Yes, it is okay to cry. I agree with your charge nurse, I too would quit nursing if I did not cry at times. We are human and it would be unreasonable to expect us not to be moved to tears at times....

  10. Palliative Care and Euthanasia

    hollyster replied to bracken's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    You are so right earle58. Strong nursing advocacy is the only way to provide the care that these pts needs is delivered. As you said before we have a more abstract way of thinking and different...

  17. Palliative Care and Euthanasia

    hollyster replied to bracken's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Earle58, I agree. In some pts the fear and anxiety of the pain overwhelming. If a pt knows they will be medicated properly they are more relaxed and able to move around more easily, DB/C and heal...

  18. Palliative Care and Euthanasia

    hollyster replied to bracken's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I agree completely, Stevierae. No one should suffer. If a nurse is uncomfortable with properly medicating pts they need to further education on pain management. It is nonsense that a pt will get...

    hollyster replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing
