    Its not "technically" a PCA anymore (since that means "patient controlled analgesia"), but yes you can have a "nurse controlled analgesia" pump as an appropriate method of pain management. In...

    Julius Seizure replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    Not that I disagree with the rest of your post, but OP didn't say "my" unit. "Our" implies group, as in, it is the unit that belongs to all the nurses/techs/staff that work there day-to-day. That is...

    It doesn't necessarily. Well, I mean, it COULD be a factor on how you choose a job but it doesn't have to be for everybody. Many people don't focus on retirement savings until later on in life. I...

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

    It seems a shame to give nursing students a project where a large aspect of it is to add humor to their presentation about something like this. Sure, gallows humor is a part of being a nurse but as a...

    Julius Seizure replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree that "basic math skills" revolves around the ability to divide 425.5 by 18.2 or multiple 1/2 by 1/5 without a calculator. That is not the world that we live in today. Basic math skills...

    I don't think anyone is arguing that the scholastic ability to do basic math is too high a bar to expect nurses to clear. I certainly am not saying that. I would love to see high and STANDARDIZED...
