    one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    vanilla bean replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    Did you really just post that comment? I mean, I can see it, but I still can't believe it. Misogyny at its

    Critical care nurse who misses Med/Surg

    vanilla bean replied to ontheway2crna's topic in General Nursing

    Whether or not you're able to stick it out in the Neuro ICU, why not consider another ICU environment? You mention that you didn't feel challenged enough on MS, and the Neuro ICU doesn't seem to be a...

    one side love problem between student nurse and doctor

    vanilla bean replied to chinglee's topic in General Students

    FWIW, Lina1, OP came here and posted about a personal situation seeking the opinions of strangers on this board. In effect, asking us to judge the situation - whether it be to agree or disagree with...

    Was my professor out of line?

    vanilla bean replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    So, you were meeting with a professor because you're struggling with class, and she *gasp!* suggested that you make school your priority?! Outrageous! No, but seriously... IMO, she was giving you good...

    Keeping feet moisturized

    vanilla bean replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I love Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Creme. It's not really a cream (like the name would imply), it's more like an ointment. I apply before I don my cotton sports socks when dressing for work. Keeps my...

    Taking Up Extra Shifts!

    vanilla bean replied to NGYSUN's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, it's not the house sup's concern to wonder/worry about how asking you to pick up extra hours will affect your personal life, it is his/her responsibility to try to find adequate staffing for each...

    Social Anxiety and nursing vs RT

    vanilla bean replied to Darby71's topic in General Nursing

    As an RT turned RN, I can say that if you would like to work in a healthcare setting, there will probably be little difference between roles in terms of having lengthy "social interactions" that are...

    giving meds with other name on them

    vanilla bean replied to nurseat52's topic in General Nursing

    That is exactly what I was thinking when I read OP's post. If Medicare or Medicaid are involved, this practice could also be seen as fraud against the government. Not a good

    Nursing school is on probation, need to transfer

    vanilla bean replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    Have you reached out to any of the more than 30 students that have left to find out which schools accepted them as transfer students? I'm guessing that most of those students were not able to transfer...

    clique in the workplace

    vanilla bean replied to Starfish-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hi Starfish, reading your story reminded me of an article I read here on AN not too long ago. It is about the importance of social skills in the workplace. I do not mean to imply that you are lacking...

    When all else fails, troll Healthy People 2020. They even have a new "Health-Related Quality of Life & Well-Being" topic. See if anything discussed there piques your

    MyNursingLab

    vanilla bean replied to Jaemcg's topic in General Students

    I seem to recall the option to sign up with no course affiliation. My professors never provided course ID numbers, yet I was still able to access the online material. Unfortunately, I don't remember...

    SIADH and urine specific gravity

    vanilla bean replied to JillNas's topic in General Nursing

    The only way I can make sense of a low specific gravity in the presence of SIADH is if they're actually talking about the blood's specific gravity rather than the urine's. However, I did find this old...

    It's all too fast.

    vanilla bean replied to Lina1's topic in General Students

    You become more comfortable with more exposure to the uncomfortable events, not less. If you want to get better, you need to stick it out and push yourself beyond your comfort level. In addition to...

    Am I in the Wrong??

    vanilla bean replied to regerterb's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Truly, from how you describe the situation, it sounds like the doctor dropped the ball by not clearly ordering the aspirin and only making note of it elsewhere in the chart. That said, I'm going to...

    vanilla bean replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally get it. My compassion meter is at a zero right now as you vent about others in different fields needing to vent, and how their need to vent is not as valid as your need to

    Heart Sounds vs Heart Rhythm

    Awesome explanation by JBudd, and Captain Obvious Junior here wanted to mention that rhythm can also be seen in the form of an EKG or if the patient is on a cardiac

    SIADH and urine specific gravity

    vanilla bean replied to JillNas's topic in General Nursing

    "less water output" equals more concentrated urine, not more dilute urine. The same amount of solutes is voided in a smaller volume of liquid, thereby increasing the concentration of solutes in the...

    vanilla bean replied to NS2015's topic in General Students

    Is it doable to allow your son to spend more time at his dad's house or live there short-term? Is his dad amenable to this, would he have to change schools, etc.? It sounds like it might be a...

    vanilla bean replied to DeeaCatalina's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem here lies in your choice of words in the beginning of your thread, "I am looking for your input in this issue." In future, if what you really mean is something along the lines of,...

    We do the same. Fortunately, my facility takes self-extubations very seriously and requires that an Incident Report be filled out every time it happens. Incident Reports are completed online and then...
