    Good ICU Nursing Guides?

    NurseGirl525 replied to jenzo0's topic in General Nursing

    A book? Honestly, Im not trying to be condescending but there is no disease process for 9 gunshots wounds or 5 stab wounds. lIt really bothers me that people put out books and take other nurses...

    Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

    NurseGirl525 replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    You are mistaken. How many prostitutes carry all kinds of disease do you think go to Wal-mart? Or IV drug users for that matter? I think my clean scrubs where I may have titrated a couple of drips...

    Family stole from me

    NurseGirl525 replied to Speedy15's topic in General Nursing

    I have a glove compartment with a key. I know not all cars have it, but I use it often. I take nothing of value into my workplace even. If it doesn't fit in my pocket and is valuable, it stays in...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rnnonami's topic in General Nursing

    I don't disagree that they are underpaid, but comparing what they do to a medical professional in terms of a medical assessment is laughable. I work with social workers every day. I would not want...

    Anyone with Google can be a nurse

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rnnonami's topic in General Nursing

    They are not capable of a medical head-to-toe aseesment. The fact that you can compare the fact that they have a masters in social to work to what a nurse does medically shows how informed you are....

    Wearing Scrubs Outside of the Workplace

    NurseGirl525 replied to NewGradRN114's topic in General Nursing

    Depends. If I have blood all over me or if I dealt with a questionable patient that day, I won't go out. If it was a normal day, I don't mind running to the store. I always say your shopping carts...

    Is this a crime?

    NurseGirl525 replied to itsybitsy's topic in General Nursing

    This. I used to love House. Until I started nursing school and realized how he treated nurses. But, it's a fake tv show. Shes strutting around Starbucks so people can ask and she can say she's an...

    Career change here too

    NurseGirl525 replied to The_Physicist's topic in General Nursing

    I will warn against entry level masters programs. Many don't offer the BSN which is a requirement for many employers. Also, these fresh, no experience NPs, no nothing about patient care or how a...

    NurseGirl525 replied to The_Physicist's topic in General Nursing

    Do you realize how much of a paycut you will be taking? You say well, it's only two years to become an RN. That's after you fulfill the prerequisites. I doubt in physics you have fulfilled the...

    Behind on charting?

    NurseGirl525 replied to rhernandez748's topic in General Nursing

    My first week, I was there 1-2 hours over every night. Why on earth your preceptor would say that is beyond me. Especially if you were charting 3, 100% on your own. Now, I can chart much faster....

    Is this a crime?

    NurseGirl525 replied to itsybitsy's topic in General Nursing

    I will also add, she is probably promoting her show by posting it on Facebook. She obviously wants to be an actress. They often submerge themselves in their roles. I highly doubt she is running...

    Do you think everybody on Grey's Anatomy are doctors and nurses in real life? It's the same thing. It's TV. It's fake. Its not the same thing as a person doing it in real life. You are blurring...

    Anyone with Google can be a nurse

    NurseGirl525 replied to Rnnonami's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just wondering how that is legal? In my state, only an RN can perform assessments. Not even an LPN can. How is assessing a part of a social workers scope of practice? They are not properly...

    Why are nurses sexualized?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Sykadia's topic in General Nursing

    No. Women of ill-repute did not become nurses. Perhaps you should read up on the history of nurses. The very first nurses were men, then women took over. These women had very stringent rules and...

    Administering opiates

    NurseGirl525 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    They don't become addicted with a few IVP. They were already addicted to something before coming in if you feel they are becoming addicts after a few pushes. I guarantee it. One does not become...
