    Julius Seizure replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Is it "okay" for a patient to say that they don't want a black nurse? An Asian nurse? What about a nurse who is a Jehovah's witness? What about an overweight nurse? What if they only which to be cared...

    Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    Julius Seizure replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    I see your point about less experience = having less opportunity for proficiency. However, to be fair, do you think that accessing ports is a large portion of a nurse practitioners job? Do you think...

    Julius Seizure replied to LPNuser's topic in General Nursing

    I think working those long hours can cause back pain for anybody, honestly. The floors in hospitals and nursing homes are hard and unforgiving to those who spend 8-12 hours a day on their feet, no...

    Pediatric Dose Calculations

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

    When they ask you dosage, they almost definitely mean in milligrams (mg) (or whatever unit the particular medication is measured in). Milliliters (mL) is the volume...it is not the dose. This is...
