  1. More Americans Dying at Home Than in Hospital

    OUxPhys replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Heck yeah. After working in a hospital I dont want to die there. I want to die in my own bed, in my own home. Quick and painless. Hospice while being an inpatient in some facilities is a

  2. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    OUxPhys replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I have a BSN but I dont think it makes me a better nurse over someone who has their associates. I do agree that its a money grab. Its not just limited to nursing. Look at PT, OT, Pharmacy. All these...

    OUxPhys replied to A.Ramos's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I will send a

  4. Cleveland Clinic VS University Hospital

    OUxPhys replied to A.Ramos's topic in Ohio Nursing

    CCF has better medical benefits than UH. At UH you have more out of pocket costs. Labs, hospital stays, tests, etc. For example, when I worked at UH as a nurse assistant there was a nurse who had a...

  5. Over 70% of Nurse Staff Turnover is Due to Bad Leadership

    OUxPhys replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    100%. There are too many people in charge who did not spend enough time at the bedside or forgot where they came

  6. Plant-based (vegan) mandate for NY hospitals

    OUxPhys replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    There is some debate as to whether olive oil has health benefits. If you use it sparingly then yes but if you overdo it then no. It was only a matter of time before vegan became an option. You pretty...

  7. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, I saw it all the time at my previous job. Not all the young nurses did this but there were a fair share who did this and they knew what they were doing and it worked, especially in the ICUs....

  8. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like your school and clinical group is awful. I didnt see any of that in my school or clinical, however, there was one clinical instructor who didnt hide the fact she didnt care for men in...

  9. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That's true but let's not act like it's just men who are like this. That was my

  10. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    And that's perfectly fine! I dont baby pts like some nurses do and I think that gets misconstrued as not having compassion and empathy and that's simply not true. I will say though when pts and pt...

  11. Career change?

    OUxPhys replied to NurseKey622's topic in General Nursing

    That's great. If you want to be a physical therapy assistant you'll need to get an associates degree. Most community colleges have programs. Yeah, it sucks and makes no sense that hospitals require...

  12. Med/surg or Telemetry Nursing

    OUxPhys replied to special1rn's topic in Government, Military

    It depends. The VA hospital I work at the nursing supervisors do whatever they want even though we are supposed to be a higher level of care (PCU/Stepdown). We get all cardiology and cardiothoracic...

  13. Career change?

    OUxPhys replied to NurseKey622's topic in General Nursing

    To me nursing is such a huge field that you dont necessarily have to leave nursing to find a better job. Do you work the floor/unit? I feel like most people who want to leave nursing is because they...

  14. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think for a majority of men in 2019 nursing is still considered to be a feminine field but every time we have clinicals on our floor Id say a quarter of them are men, so we are slowly increasing in...

  15. Benefits

    OUxPhys replied to H51205's topic in General Nursing

    I work for the VA. 5 weeks of vacation a year. I think I get 8 hours of vacation and 4 hours of sick time every paycheck. My salary is way more than the private sector. I was in the private sector...

  16. Millennial Nurses Have Issues

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

    Its true, we grew up with it but we still didnt rely on it. We still played outside. We didnt have ipads to take home and do homework. We still physically held books to read. Im thankful for that. I...

  17. Sorry nursing

    OUxPhys replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Sad but true. Im just buying my time until a sweet outpatient or procedural gig opens

  18. AMA Looks to Retrain Doctors on Taking Blood Pressures

    OUxPhys replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a physician take a manual

  19. Millennial Nurses Have Issues

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

    Im 33 and it is a bit funny and

  20. Millennial Nurses Have Issues

    OUxPhys replied to Nurse Yoni's topic in General Nursing

    Im a millennial. I can tell you some are true. Yeah, most of us are not pursuing a master's degree because of the outrageous cost of college. Unless they are trying to become an advanced practice...

  21. Nursing shortage is BS

    OUxPhys replied to Guest1130774's topic in General Nursing

    I think its pretty simple. You said nurses who work med/surg and “some ICU” do what computers and machines tell then to do. (BTW I work on a Cardiac Stepdown....we have PLENTY of senior,...

  22. Feeling Torn on Nursing

    OUxPhys replied to Cozyclove's topic in General Nursing

    I know of several aides who worked our floor and were in nursing school but ultimately decided they had seen enough and changed their major. Nursing can be great and rewarding but it also depends alot...

  23. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    OUxPhys replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think anyone has any issue with someone refusing, the issue is with the hospital implementing a policy that only applies to men in one

  24. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    OUxPhys replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt

  25. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    OUxPhys replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    No, it is bias because it only applies to the male nurse. When it’s applied for one gender but not the other it is bias/discrimination. Im glad you do it with both genders and I agree 100% with...
