  3. Love working in an area that needs nurses

    Dewman replied to englishgeek's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats on your job offers! Around where I live (Indiana) the "nursing shortage" is a cruel myth. Yet the nursing schools keep taking that tuition, and pumping out more and more new

  5. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    Dewman replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  7. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    Dewman replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, apparently so. Perhaps they would have no problem with residents getting it on right on the nurse's station

  10. WAKE UP!!!!

    Dewman replied to garciadiego's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In a previous job in LTC, I was the sole 2nd-shift nurse on my hall of 35 residents, some of whom received a veritable pharmacy's worth of routine meds. The eMAR forced you to accomplish that within...

  11. It's Wrong! (A night shift perspective)

    Dewman replied to Sixtyseven's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Amen!

  12. It's Wrong! (A night shift perspective)

    Dewman replied to Sixtyseven's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Whoa! If you can cath somebody and not even wake them up, you're a better nurse than I am, Gunga Din! Actually, you probably ARE a better nurse than I am. I just don't see how even FLO could cath...

  13. It's Wrong! (A night shift perspective)

    Dewman replied to Sixtyseven's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow! I work nights in LTC, and this stuff resonates with me. Waking up an elderly resident with dementia at 0300 to shove a tube up her urethra, because she might have a UTI?? BULL EXCREMENT!!! I...

  14. RN to BSN full time + working full time

    Dewman posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    While I earned my ASN, I worked as a PRN CNA - IOW, only part-time. I am now working as a full-time RN, and have been accepted into an RN-to-BSN program which amounts to full-time school for 3...

    Dewman replied to aspiration's topic in Psychiatric

    In the words of Smokey Robinson: "Now there's some sad things known to man But ain't too much sadder than The tears of a clown When there's no one around..." RIP,

  16. RN to BSN full time + working full time

    Dewman replied to Dewman's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Thanks for your reply. I'm starting to think that way, too. The other option - if I want to get my BSN - is to go slower by taking a course at a time online. I think that might be more

    Dewman replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    What???? You mean "Nurse Jackie" isn't

  19. Strike nursing

    Dewman replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I did not mean that the MEANINGS of the two terms were comparable. I meant that the USE of both terms by those to whom the terms don't apply, is comparable. In both cases, the respective term is a...

  21. Male Nurse Hair Styles

    Dewman replied to Benners's topic in Men in Nursing

    I go with what could be called your basic military crew. No fuss, no muss - dries in a couple

  22. Strike nursing

    Dewman replied to trulefty's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The fact that SOME strike-breakers refer to themselves as "scabs" does not change the fact that it is considered a pejorative when used by a striker to refer to a strike-breaker. It is not dissimilar...

  23. The Agony of Da-Feet

    Dewman posted a topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps this topic has been done to death before, and I just missed it. I'm a big guy, with wide feet. In your experience, what shoes are the best for easing the pounding we all give our feet every...

  24. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    Dewman replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Perhaps. But as an increasing amount of primary care is transferred to NPs, they will begin to experience the same kind of problems that lead to physicians' refusing to accept Obamacare -...
