    Surgeon for an instructor

    I am surprised there isn't good study material in your textbook to help you learn medical terminology. If you still want to supplement, a medical dictionary is a good idea, and I would also recommend...

    Hospital-based CMs: how do you explain your role to patients?

    Me too! They often say, "Am I going home today??" either with excitement or panic, depending on the situation

    Gloves required for ALL oral meds.

    Now that I think about it, I think that I subconsciously try to right their wrong. If the top glove or two in the box seems to be smushed in there like maybe it had already left the box once before,...

    Would you tell a co-worker he needs hearing aides?

    Maybe socially, but if hearing loss is affecting his ability to function in his job (and it sounds like it may be), then its possible that this is a situation where accommodations are going to be...

    Adult Care RN to DNP Pediatric Advice

    Do you want to do acute care pediatrics or primary care pediatrics? Acute care will likely require you to have pediatric bedside experience, but primary care programs might not. Also, I am just...

    Help, nurse in distress!

    I wonder, in the absence of an actual "safe harbor" law/policy/etc., what would happen if one still sent an email to TPTB (Unit director, Director of nursing, and on up) that they were accepting this...

    3rd shift and bf

    I had a *serious* case of FOMO as a new nurse on night shift. I was so jealous of everything that I was missing. I don't have any brilliant advice OP. It sucks, but it's just part of being on...

    Robots, automation, and A.I. tech to replace nurses?

    When that happens, my new job will be robot nurse monitor. I am down with that. It sounds like it will be easier on my

    Wearing scrubs home?

    Those same germs that might be on my home-laundered scrubs will also be on my home-washed skin and hair. I feel like my home laundry soap is probably sufficient for general hospital purposes. It...

    Diabetic student having surgery

    This is a great tip. Generalized abdominal pain (hurts vaguely all over) is rarely as acutely concerning as "it hurts exactly right HERE"

    Marijuana usage by parents in NICU

    This sounds more like a job for the social worker than the security guys, at least in my hospital. IF more action was needed to address it than the nurse had already done, my course of action would...

    Giving last name in report

    In my job, I make a lot of phone calls to insurance companies and other healthcare companies. I record all of this in the appropriate patient's chart. Generally, for these calls we ask for the other...

    What kind of nurse are you?

    Pediatric ICU nurse. Love it, unless management is making the unit a miserable place to work. I don't mind (most) parents. I actually really like teaching them, encouraging them, and helping show...
