    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    Julius Seizure replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, people are finding that flights are either canceled or costs thousands of dollars. I read somewhere that some tourists who are trying to get home are stuck at the airport and unable to...

    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    Julius Seizure replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't a marriage. I didn't take nursing vows. Lets not even talk about the "oath" of nursing. I used to live in Florida and if I still did, I would have stayed and worked this weekend, but...

    APRN and Collaborative Physician

    Julius Seizure replied to CLB_81's topic in Advanced Practice

    I agree. It doesn't seem reasonable that an agreement with a urologist is what TPTB have in mind for collaboration with a family practitioner. I don't think it would work out, or it might initially...

    I'm sure you realize that the hurricane calls for a change in plans for most

    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    Julius Seizure replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe cranky, but you're not wrong. When I lived in Florida, all the nurses knew that hurricane duty was a risk of their 24/7 job and that they needed to have a plan for pets, kids, etc. If OP didn't...

    SBAR Medication Order

    Julius Seizure replied to Newgurl17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't really see anything exactly wrong with what you said to the doctor. I think the doctor probably understood fine. He or she just didn't decide to order what you had requested, that's all....

    ASL Interpeters allowed at clinicals per the ADA?

    Julius Seizure replied to Natiel's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have absolutely no idea. Maybe asking one of the national advocacy organizations for those with hearing impairments? I'm curious, would you need an interpreter with you at work after graduation...

    Chamberlain vs Vanderbilt

    Julius Seizure replied to looking2bfnp's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Vanderbilt is do-able, if you don't mind your life sucking for a year. I knew one person who did the one-year program who is married with 3 school-age kids; she and her husband both worked full time...

    ECMO: Most Advanced ICU Technology?

    Julius Seizure replied to CVVH's topic in Critical Care

    Well, they are starting to use 3-D printers to do things like rebuild the airway of people with tracheomalacia. Those green caps for the ends of IV tubing that are infused with alcohol (Curos caps)...

    ECMO: Most Advanced ICU Technology?

    Julius Seizure replied to CVVH's topic in Critical Care

    It really is true. So many of the machines used to keep sick people alive are really just fancy

    Wacky Nursing Dreams

    Julius Seizure replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    Two dreams: Forgetting about a patient all shift and remembering at 4am or 6am and trying to figure out how to catch them up on meds and such, and being afraid that I was going to lose my job or...

    Eclipse concerns

    Julius Seizure replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    What did you schools do on Monday? I've heard that many schools kept the children inside, even during recess, to avoid the risk that kids would look at the sun. They all watched the eclipse on TV....

    What time do you wake up for work?

    Julius Seizure replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I get up about 6:05am. Work starts at 7:00am. Oops just realized this was for the school nurses. I'm a hospital

    OCD about central line infections - need perspective!

    Julius Seizure replied to laceysrn's topic in General Nursing

    I like this idea. Can you channel that vigilance into focusing on following policy/EBP

    New Grad & Scheduling Difficulties

    Julius Seizure replied to 02468's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree. Maybe some family members would be able to take a random Tuesday off to spend time with you while you get through your three months? I understand about worrying that this will re-ignite a...

    Julius Seizure replied to caffeinatednurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't know if you are right or not, but I would be very hesitant to do this, as it could irreversibly damage her career. I simply have no confidence in the BONs ability or willingness to objectively...

    forced to work when sick?

    Julius Seizure replied to Skylar86's topic in General Nursing

    This is all well and good, except that in many hospitals, you are punished for calling in less than 2 (or more) hours prior to your shift. What if you are still asleep then? Out of

    Does the name of the school matter?

    Julius Seizure replied to Goldenmoose's topic in School, College Programs

    For a BSN, I've never found that the name recognition of the school you go to matters a great deal - unless it has a specifically bad reputation. A school that has a good program but may not be...

    Hydration Stations in the Nursing Station

    Julius Seizure replied to 1Crazynurse's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital designates hydration stations. Some units set aside a empty cupboard behind the nursing station where drinks may be kept, and I guess the "away from patient care areas" makes sense in...

    G-tube question

    Julius Seizure replied to momcats3's topic in School

    If I was the school nurse, I might make sure mom/dad is aware of this (maybe in writing if you are concerned?) and they still don't provide you the necessary documentation, well...I guess they should...

    This is the best answer that I have ever seen to that question. Beautiful. I wish I could "love" this instead of just "liking"

    Any NP here? Advices please

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

    It's only "sort of" true. Yes, there are programs that will get you from the ADN to the masters degree, but its because they are longer and teach you the BSN part along the way. You may never be...
