  6. New Nurse; To start a New IV or not?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to carebear1980's topic in First Year After Licensure

  7. Are there any gay nurses here?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    You can donate to the various causes set up for victims/families. GoFundMe is a good site with plenty of pages asking for help. But on a smaller (but ultimately larger) scale, you can help by...

  8. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    The pharmacist cannot say that. He is on the job, offering advice, which means anything he says to the lady can come back to him in the form of a lawsuit. doesn't this sound awfully familiar to some...

  9. Doctors rip VA plan that would give some nurses more authority

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

  10. Best shoes for clinicals

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to allnurses's topic in General Students

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Didn't some states recently take down their confederate flags after the church shooting because the guy had the flag in his possession? What you may call southern culture and pride is seen as overt...

  15. Solutions for Drinks at Nursing Station?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ImNicoEh's topic in General Nursing

    I think the term is called 'up title-ing' where someone who was formerly a maintenance man is now a building engineer or something (that's not to be elitist and look down on anyone, but I'm just...

  16. Should I leave this racist town?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know you're not for it, but I just wanted to point out that the view that it is culture (and I'm not saying you view as it culture, I know you were making a general statement and I'm responding to...

  17. When a pt "gets" to you

  22. When you're done. Just done.

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

  25. One Liner to Diffuse Escalating Situation With Patient

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
