    Cut Right Thumb- Can I Still Be a Nurse?

    Julius Seizure replied to Thumberino's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to work with a physician in the pediatric ICU that was missing half of a finger. He still did everything that all the other docs did, including placing arterial lines and central lines,...

    Where can I get male only patients?

    Julius Seizure replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    I understand being opposed to the law itself, but... Regardless of what the law states, what would be wrong about a nurse just choosing not to work at an abortion clinic? If they would prefer to...

    Adult to NICU

    Julius Seizure replied to kmn0601's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Can you link to any of the info you have read abut radiation in the NICU? I have never heard of this being a specific NICU concern. Edit: Did a search, and found this thread. It sounds like the...

    Staff Hysteria

    Julius Seizure replied to Ashizzle's topic in School

    OP, if you hit the "quote" button instead of the "reply" button, it will copy the text of the person you are responding to - it makes it a little easier to follow the conversation. Just trying to...

    Ethical issue?

    Julius Seizure replied to nursesmatter's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen a few comments saying that this should be handled by the MD rather than the nurse. Can anyone give me a reason as to why they think this would be outside of the nurses role? I can't think...

    Pediatric vs Neonatal NP?

    Julius Seizure replied to lgiampietro's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've seen positions for developmental pediatrics clinics (they round in NICU and then follow the patients after D/C) - they were looking for primary care (I think) PNPs. Not neonatal

    Hand Hygiene-PO Medications

    Julius Seizure replied to wendiwhiner's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Good question. I touch my own medications every day and things seem alright so far. I think the little med cups are more to keep the pills separate from other stuff, not from the patient's

    What happens when the nurse is sick?

    Julius Seizure posted a topic in School

    Hey school nurses, I have a question. What happens when you are sick? Does the school just not have a nurse that day (but then who gives kids their meds)? Are there substitute school nurses? How...

    How full do you fill your lab vials?

    Julius Seizure replied to Exhuasted's topic in General Nursing

    You can still put just 0.5 ml in the regular big tubes if desired. Not that its wrong to use the pedi tubes, but lab sometimes will say they still prefer the big tubes because then they can spin them...

    Can I place tele leads on a pt’s back?

    Julius Seizure replied to Boardten's topic in Cardiac

    You just need to be aware of what leads are looking at "where", so that you know how the waveform should look - and monitor for

    Fired before the 1 year mark, now unemployed for six months. Please help.

    Julius Seizure replied to AesthesiaSeeker's topic in Nursing Career

    This is what you say when people ask why you were fired? I would definitely not say all this. Its just way too much, first of all. When you say so much, it sounds like you are trying to explain away...

    Would this be a good way to increase my chances at an ICU job?

    Julius Seizure replied to AesthesiaSeeker's topic in Critical Care

    I agree with considering moving out of the DFW market. It is competitive for someone without experience who doesn't qualify as a new grad, like you said. How broad is your search radius? Just...

    What if he was also on Zocor for his cholesterol? Would you be embarrassed to have prescribed it and never do it again? I guess I don't get it. Xanax didn't cause him to shoot

    I need to interview a couple of RNs.

    Julius Seizure replied to tommy2122's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This means you should think of another way to do it. What about going finding local nurses through state nursing associations, LinkedIn, or trying nursing homes? I really like the idea about going to...
