  1. Firearms

    Dogen replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have data to support any of this? Not that I necessarily doubt you - within the gun debate you can pretty easily find a study that says anything - I've just never heard "CCW holders tend to be...

  2. Firearms

    Dogen replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Texas is kind of the barometer of where someone stands on gun issues. Both sides - people who are advocates for gun rights and those that want stricter controls - point to Texas and say, "See what...

  3. When did you find your calling?

    Dogen replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    If he called, I would answer. But since he hasn't, I just kind of fumbled through life. I was pretty sure I wanted to work with brains, and did a progression of experimental psychology, then...

  4. Pathophysiology and Pharmocology!?

    Dogen replied to emilyr95's topic in General Students

    1. Talk to your professor. Ask if there's a particular area (based on your tests) where you should be spending more time. For instance, damn near every class I've ever taken pulls the majority of test...

  5. I want to throat-punch my co-worker

    Dogen replied to Annie Wilkes RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not an 800-year-old Buddhist monk. OP is not a movie character. Hyperbole is the new

  6. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    Dogen replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is also a more or less evidence-based position. I've mentioned - and cited - various articles that show the root causes of bullying (actual bullying, not whatever people like to think is bullying...

  7. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    Dogen replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's not a myth. It's an actual problem in health care, so much so that it's been addressed by both the Joint Commission and the Institute of Medicine. Incivility and poor communication harm patients....

  8. Firearms

    Dogen replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    If a person doesn't trust you with a gun, the logical inference isn't that they do trust criminals with guns. It's that they see you as an additional threat on top of the threat of the criminal. If I...

  9. BA in Psychology to BSN

    Dogen replied to psych_nursing_girl's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. The ABSN programs here only require you have your prior degree by the time the nursing program begins. So, you could apply now as long as your graduation date is before the start date of the ABSN...

  10. Firearms

    Dogen replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    If I extrapolated incorrectly, I'd like to set the record straight. What are you claiming by comparing the number of guns and gun deaths between the US and other countries and citing "correlation does...

  11. Firearms

    Dogen replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to be a jerk, but if we stopped at "correlation does not imply causation" then we'd have to conclude it's impossible to know what causes death by firearms, and that doesn't seem useful....

  12. Firearms

    Dogen replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    I own a gun. It was given to me by my grandmother after my grandfather died. I don't own any bullets... but it's still in a handgun case with two padlocks on it. I like shooting guns, and I've had a...

  13. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    Dogen replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    It also changes over the course of lactation, to meet different nutritional needs at different stages of growth. Which is pretty damn

  14. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    Dogen replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I'd try it, too. Clearly it's safe, and you don't get many opportunities. Though, it changes over time, right? The question is, does the taste change as the proportions of constituent nutritional...

  15. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    Dogen replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    While I'm kink friendly, my hospital usually isn't. Our patients are more likely to get the standard TPN, sans breast

  16. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    Dogen replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    My patient is on total parental

  17. Clinic staff ask pt how to find injection site?

    Dogen replied to MinneNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah... sorta. I mean, it's absolutely the facility's obligation to train their MA to do a procedure before letting them do it. That seems obvious... but IMs are also pretty easy, and flipping through...

  18. Nurse, policeman, or both

    Dogen replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    We treat pot like a home medication. We put it in a tamper evident bag, label it, give the patient a copy of their catalogued belongings (including a line for "one bag of plant material," because...

  19. Telemetry technician requirements

    Dogen replied to MrClean01's topic in Cardiac

    There is a national certification, but it's not mandatory anywhere I've worked. Might get you an extra $1, though. I was a tele tech for a few years before becoming a nurse. Vaguely helpful when...

  20. What does your username mean?

    Dogen replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    Mine comes from the latin doga, meaning a vessel. Because I'm an empty vessel, constantly being filled with information. Wait, I just made that

  21. 9/5 What I learned this week.....

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    You're not going to believe this, but I was a bit of a nerd. AP biology, creative writing, AP English. I was also a skater. I still love

  22. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    Dogen replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Neuroscience was one of my favorites. I didn't think I'd like stroke patients as much as I did. Goes back to the love of brains, though. I liked theorizing which areas of the brain were affected based...

  23. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    Dogen replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah, I think 2/3rds of my class styled themselves as future L&D or peds nurses. There were three of us - still good friends - who were interested in psych. We suffered many a birthing video...

  24. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    Dogen replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Some of us have to be crazy enough to do it. Cheers to good taste. In school we were asked to fill out preference lists (which always ended up with what seemed like no one getting what they wanted, so...

  25. 9/5 What I learned this week.....

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't feel right posting this in the 9/12 thread. It has a more somber tone right now, and I don't want to mess with it. So... I got a $22,000 grant for school. I forgot I applied to a bunch of...
