I wouldn't say "automatically." This has been a downward progression since at least yesterday.

I think we might be feeding a troll at this point.

White, male nurse here... I hate to echo what has already been said, but there's plenty of data that backs up what Warren says. There's also plenty of nurses on here who have said they've witnessed this phenomenon first hand. I worked for two years ...

In my state, the BON sends us a monthly email of all of the "corrective actions" taken against individual nurses. Considering the kind of stuff many of these nurses have done and still kept their license, I think you'll probably be fine. If I read co...

As 2015 was nearing its end, so too was my final semester of nursing school. My mood was good. I already had a job lined up, and I felt fairly confident that I would do fine on my final exams. Some time in those final weeks, however, a surge of anxie...

I recently had a weird fungal ear infection that eventually led to a ruptured ear drum. Though I couldn't pinpoint an actual patient, my ENT said it was more than likely something I picked up from work. Good times.

While the 16 year old was a peds code in the technical sense, I have yet to be involved in a code of a younger kid (if that makes sense). We don't get a ton of them where I work. A few months back we had a child, age 5, who was brought in following a...

That moment you realize your psych patient somehow managed to paint the clear glass door brown...

"Doctor, if we don't make it out of there, I just want you to know that it's been my honor and privilege to serve alongside you."

That moment when you realize that this year's flu season has been so severe that your facility has run out of masks...

Hi. Sorry this is late, but I just saw that. 1. I doubt there is any difference at all. 2. I graduated from Charity and and currently in a BSN program. The only difference is with the BSN, there's a ton of research papers. That's almost entirely wha...

Hi everyone. Quick question. I'm starting my nursing program in about two weeks. While I don't have the specifics yet, my textbooks are going to all be ebooks. To be more specific, it's going to be a "Pageburst eBooks Package", published by Elsevier....

Hello all. I'm a fairly new grad (December 15) working in the metro New Orleans area. My wife and I are considering moving from here to the Denver area (for numerous reasons), and one of the suburbs we like a lot is Parker. Been looking at home price...

Hello, all. So I'm an ED nurse in the suburbs of New Orleans. My wife and children (1 and 5) are looking to move to a new area some time within the next two years. The reasons are many, but some of the biggies are crime, terrible public schools, and ...

Awesome, thanks for the info. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Not dead set on Parker. Just pretty sure I don't want to live in Aurora. Parker just seemed to have a really good public school system (which, where I'm currently living, does NOT), ...

Hello all. So I finished all of my pre-reqs and I applied for nursing school yesterday (2 year associates program). Based on all the criteria, I'm fairly confident that I'm going to get into the program, and will start in January (Spring 2014). My qu...

Hello, nursing folks. The following question may sound dumb, but it's sort of becoming a legitimate concern of mine. I just found out recently that I was admitted into my local nursing school for the upcoming semester. While this is all very exciting...

Is this the one? Critical Thinking, Clinical Reasoning, and Clinical Judgment: A Practical Approach, 5e (Alfaro-Lefevre, Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgement): Rosalinda Alfaro-LeFevre RN MSN ANEF: 9781437727760: Amazon.com: Books

Thanks for the responses. I will definitely look into all of that. A couple of nursing friends suggested to start getting acquainted with fluid and electrolyte balance, so I got a book on that from the "...made incredibly easy" series.

Hello all. This is my first post, so I apologize if these topics have been addressed too many times in the past. I just finished my prerequisites for nursing, and will be applying for the program this summer in hopes of beginning the program in the ...
