    Would it kill you to say thank you?

    Julius Seizure replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be helpful if the website alerted you to responses on your posts.....it alerts you to other things, i think people sometimes just dont realize they have been responded

    What do you keep in your locker/make sure to take to work with you?

    Julius Seizure replied to Dianna11's topic in General Nursing

    Change of clothes. Motrin/excedrin/whatever your preference is. Extra socks (fresh socks really do feel great 2/3s of the way through a rough shift). Chapstick. Protein bar. Water

    Julius Seizure replied to alfollin1's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Im not sure how standard this practice is, but where I worked, ETT tape got changed every 72 hours whether it looked like it needed it or not. Usually it did by that point, or sooner. But I think it...

    True. Or on weekends. Sure, maybe there as an "on call" person for child life on weekends, but they've never been able to help me when I needed

    Tips for working with children

    Julius Seizure replied to Jklinsky's topic in General Nursing

    Never offer them a choice when there really isn't one. For example, don't say "is it okay if I take your blood pressure now?" But DO try to offer choices that ARE possible. For example, "What...

    I wish they would add a nurse or two to advise as well! Maybe some other front line workers like RTs,

    How do nurses keep current with up to date information?

    Julius Seizure replied to Shillelagh's topic in General Nursing

    I recently heard the "statistic" that to really stay up to date, one would have to read 16 journal articles or research reports EVERY day of the year. Obviously no one can do that, but sites like...

    Julius Seizure replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Without offering an opinion either way, I just want to say that I really enjoy the irony of "access denied" as a link title for the topic of "will millions of Americans lose their access to healthcare...

    America, party of 2

    Julius Seizure replied to Cwoods's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think that inflammatory language has been a detriment to the political process during this election cycle. It can be hard to have a open, civilized, and productive discussion when both sides are...

    So what's going to happen to health care now?

    Julius Seizure replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Correct me if I'm wrong (and I might be), but I thought it went more like this: 1- Lots of debating and stuff in the House, but then the bill was passed. 2- Lots of debating and stuff in the senate,...

    Was told to consider not being a nurse?

    Julius Seizure replied to rainbow09's topic in General Students

    I got told that I wasn't good enough to be a nurse during my final semester of my BSN. Wasn't even for a clinical error - I just slept through my alarm one day and was late. Nursing instructors can...

    I can see how someone might construe the series of events as shadiness on your part, but I don't think that was your intent. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have handled things any better than you have...
