    This cannot be ethical!

    nurse4theplanet replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

    It is not ethical. You can tell by just the responses on this thread that several parents would feel violated if they were made aware of this practice on their stillborn child. The argument that it...

    Check Your Wall Clocks - Hidden Cameras

    nurse4theplanet replied to Gomer's topic in General Nursing

    They can hide cameras in every patient's room for all I care, because I will do my job appropriately regardless......but don't make up some bull**** story about while they are there and insult my...

    Kicked out of CNA because of RX

    nurse4theplanet replied to Shannon RN 2be's topic in General Nursing

    HMMMM..this is a sticky situation you are in. I think it is strange that the colleges in your area require a CNA certificate as a pre-req to work towards an RN license. IMO, it is definitely a...

    on my way up

    nurse4theplanet replied to Brandi Jo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with those who say use the military to your advantage...they want and need nurses so bad right now, you will probably be offered several attractive incentives. Even though you are a CNA, I...

    **Organ Donation**

    nurse4theplanet replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    If I needed a kidney or a heart, I wouldn't care who was making money off of me. I have never heard of anyone being forced to donate their organs...I will have to research this. But *I* am not being...

    Do nurses get paid enough for what they do?

    nurse4theplanet replied to sweetpea839's topic in General Nursing

    As a new grad in 2006, I embrace the pay raise (from $5.75-$20+/hr...ain't that bad). What I have a problem with is that the longer a nurse works, or the more education she/he pursues, the...

    How do you fill your cup?

    nurse4theplanet replied to shining armani's topic in General Nursing

    As tired as I am after working a long night shift, I get a burst of energy as soon as I crank my car just at the idea of going home. I love my little apartment and my sweet little yorkie! It is part...

    nurse4theplanet replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    Katie Bell is right on! We had a nurse come and speak to us about organ donation.....he has been in the feild for almost twenty years. He told us that it is the hardest and most rewarding job he has...

    Nursing students fear of the gross stuff.

    nurse4theplanet replied to amy3072's topic in General Nursing

    So far in my short little span of nursing school and working as an ICU tech, I have faired pretty well. And I have a pretty weak stomach when it comes to vomitting and really REALLY smelly diarrhea....

    Younger Nurses: Do you find people dont take you seriously? (semi-rant)

    nurse4theplanet replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    You know that saying, a few bad apples ruin the whole bunch. Well, that seems to be the case when it comes to age. Since there are so many young people you see in the media that are not driven, just...

    CRNA accused of sexual misconduct

    nurse4theplanet replied to subee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The first step is obviously going to be to gather both sides of the story. Am I safe to assume there were witnesses to this

    Do you make a difference??

    nurse4theplanet replied to mtorado27's topic in General Nursing

    I am your typical textbook following nursing student.:rotfl: I go way out of my way to do things for my patients, because most times I am in a better position to do so.....where the RN is taking care...

    nurse4theplanet replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My breasts enlarge (not like they are that big to begin with lol) when I am on BC but I have an overall wt gain to go along with it. They go up about half a cup size maybe.....and look fuller. I...

    Younger Nurses: Do you find people dont take you seriously? (semi-rant)

    nurse4theplanet replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    The worst is when you go to get your car fixed. Since hubby was gone for so long, and our truck was acting up, I had to take it to the shop several times.....not only do they think I don't know...

    "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    nurse4theplanet replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Here is the difference. For one, I am Catholic and I have felt religious persecution living here in the Southern Baptist Bilbe belt so perhaps I am a little sensitive to the issue. Fair Enough. But...

    Vent

    nurse4theplanet replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    I also agree that my social/personal life took a backseat to nursing school. It was hard to find time to see my friends who were not in the program. My "fun" was spent with my classmates in my...

    Dilemma - Any thoughts?

    nurse4theplanet replied to hbncns35's topic in Nursing Career

    I want to make sure I understand you correctly. If you stay in an NE spot, and you fail the NCLEX the first time, you keep working as an NE until you pass and then you are hired as an RN new grad....

    Question for those who just finished A&P I

    nurse4theplanet replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's just going to depend on your learning style. I am a total science geek and love studying about the human body....even right down to the cellular level. I hung on my professors' every words but...

    Hey Bipley.....

    nurse4theplanet replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the best you could have done, considering the sensitive nature of the topic. It is natural for her to initially be in denial and angry. I think you opened a door for her. She now...
