    For those that glove up for every possible patient interraction, do you also wear gloves to the County Fair? Supermarket? At the Post Office, when filling out mailing slips (those pens....ewww)?...

    Wear gloves during assessment?

    RNsRWe replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    'Like', about a thousand times 'LIKE'! NOT gloving constantly does not equal disregard for patient's safety, it's about the OPPOSITE of "inconsiderate", as I consider their self-image and dignity to...

    Evolution and Nursing

    RNsRWe replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I've got one for ya: had a discussion some years back in which a "Bible-believing Christian" (her phrasing, not mine) insisted the Earth could be no more than 6,000 years old because some theologian...

    Evolution and Nursing

    RNsRWe replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I seem to be something of an oddity, in that I accept religious teachings (although I question them A LOT!) and have no problem with following my faith. I can easily distinguish what is likely a...

    Actually, science isn't required to explain anything here, and there is no reason to look to the heavens either. MANY things pop into my head as to how "this dude" knew what the student had going on....

    Yes, except that very same patient (and his/her family) had already been at the nursing station, elevator, lobby....Walmart....Shoprite....basically anywhere and everywhere. Gloving up when you have...

    Wear gloves during assessment?

    RNsRWe replied to future_nurse11's topic in General Nursing

    Your question made me think of a clinical instructor I had when I was in school, who would read you the RIOT act if you gloved up just to do vitals and a simple assessment. She was of the opinion...

    New Grad RN can't find a job

    You need to claim every job; if they find an omission after you're hired they can fire you, if they find the omission before you get the job you might lose it before you land it. It's pretty easy for...

    I recognize that. I was just responding to the idea that only men would refer to women as 'girls'; it's been my experience that women frequently call themselves and other women 'girls' or 'gals'....

    Anyone heard any reason gel polish is worse than regular polish??

    RNsRWe replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I understand and completely agree. But for a policy to have any real teeth, it DOES need to be something enforceable, and a company that declares no polish may be more than four days old just...

    RNsRWe replied to sjxo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why are you assuming a loss? NOT being able to register for another exam through PV after 24 hours typically indicates PASS, not fail. How fast a BoN sends out mailings (snail mail, not emails, btw)...
