  1. Out with "Nurse" In with...?

    The Veridican replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    Look, when I was a CNA and in nursing school, it got back to me that a nurse at the LTC facility where I was working said about me, "Why would a man want to work around all these old women patients,...

  2. Out with "Nurse" In with...?

    The Veridican replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    Good post. I think I will look into the history of nursing

  3. Out with "Nurse" In with...?

    The Veridican replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    Well, buddy, you need to follow the string, and maybe then you'd see the rest of my opinion (for what it's worth.)

  4. Out with "Nurse" In with...?

    The Veridican replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    Dittos 100%. I can't think of another term that doesn't mix the two professions (a mixing which I abhor) or doesn't, in some way, under-define what a nurse is and does. And, really, given the Latin...

  5. LVN Vs. RN?

    The Veridican replied to elleon's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is really a broad term. But in modern health care you have either an MD or an RN, everyone else is an assistant to one or the other of them. MD PA, NP, PT, OT, radiology tech, RD, RT, etc. RN...

  6. Out with "Nurse" In with...?

    The Veridican replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    It just strikes me as unusual that nursing would be a female dominated occupation, given what is required of a registered nurse. Obviously there are mostly female RNs, so obviously females are as...

  7. Out with "Nurse" In with...?

    The Veridican replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I mean, the word "nurse" in English means lots of things: breastfeeder, babysitter; it can even mean a member of an insect society that belongs to the worker cast and takes care of the young....

  8. Out with "Nurse" In with...?

    The Veridican replied to The Veridican's topic in General Nursing

    Well, since you ask, all of nursing is really a "male" endeavor. It's heavy, it requires scientific thinking, decision making, accountability, and these kind of traits are traditionally found in male...

    The Veridican replied to CharliezAngie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Here are the questions. 1.Background: a)how long have you been a nurse 2 years b)what is your preparation? Diploma. associate degree,BSN,MSN ADN with B.Sc. in Liberal Arts, just started an MSN...

  10. How do you feel about ADN nurses?

    The Veridican replied to Stacy W's topic in Nursing Career

    R.N. is the only profession I know of that allows you to be considered one of the "learned professions" with only having completed an associate degree, and more often in the past, a diploma program....

  11. Downloaded Taber's for PDA....question...

    The Veridican replied to LorraineCNA's topic in General Nursing

    The Tabers for the PDA is no where near as inclusive as the book. I too have the Taber's on my PDA. But it's really good for what I use it for, a quick reference when someone asks "What's an...

  12. Looking for a nurse to interview for a management class for a paper on delegation.

    The Veridican replied to CharliezAngie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why not post the question on the discussion board? I'll answer them if you do. The

  13. Dealing with a difficult co-worker

    The Veridican replied to Alicia18's topic in General Nursing

    The next time she yells at you, you tell her with confidence and indignation (but not anger) the following: "You can not speak to me like that. I will not stand for it. If you speak to me like that...

  14. How did you "get" the skill of starting IV's?

    The Veridican replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I have a rep for being a good IV starter. It's not true. I have to stick twice about 50% of the time. But If I have the time, I always do the other nurses IVs that they never want to do, if they ask...

  15. In Trouble With The Bon!!! Please Advise Me...

    The Veridican replied to LadyBugLass's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't say whether your employer was reporting you to the board of nursing. Your mistakes need to be corrected, but if no pt was harmed, why not just let it be a learning experience. If the...
