  1. CNA's in control

    1Tulip replied to FlorentineBird's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with AbusedTravelNurse and ColdFusion, that this is NOT the most rare event in nursing. A lot of the posts here assume that nsg. admin. in the LTC facility will deal effectively with...

  2. then again, maybe not

    1Tulip replied to hamilton110's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, Hamilton. Nursing is such a rich science, there is no end to the intellectual stimulation you can get from it. Maybe my colleagues would say I'm a nerd, but I've always thought the job was one...

  3. My fear of nursing..

    1Tulip replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have worked long stretches of nights. Once upon a time, that was all I worked for a year and a half. (I was in the military, so it's not like I was given a choice.) I tried everything, and my...

  4. Anyone working at Washoe Medical Center?

    1Tulip replied to SanFranSRNA's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Update: If there was a freeze, it's thawed. I'll be starting sometime this

  5. Dementia and Pain Control

    1Tulip replied to nicolel1182's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing unusual about old people having chronic back pain. I think it's safe to assume that she is, in fact, in pain. She has a couple of things going on, only one of which is directly...

  6. What has happened to simple, basic care???

    1Tulip replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Most of my experience (and that was a while ago) was ICU. So with only one or two patients, I could usually work a bath into my shift at some point. I can't say categorically that I'll never leave...

  7. Help!? A&P I....again, any advice?

    1Tulip replied to FaithHope&Love's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gsnitch... I was only able to write my dissertation by listening to all the works JSBach composed for the organ. Classical music can really help. (But not opera sung in English. I start paying too...

  8. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Kelly: I'll pm

  9. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yeah, Kelly. My impression is that when Holists write all as ALL, they are talking about a Grand Entity of some sort, not god or God so much since the creator is not separable/distinguishable from...

  10. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Over the holidays, I have been off (Yaaayyyy!) and done some casual reading. I got a book for Christmas on Western Civilization. (Now you're sure I'm a nerd, yes?) Anyhow, the author raises the...

  11. Hard of hearing/deaf nursing students or nurses?

    1Tulip replied to Black Jade's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1. There are amplified stethoscopes. I know some docs with hearing impairments that use them. Littman makes a good one. 2. You got hearing aids. Good. Do some homework on hearing aids. They are...

  12. Nurse presses charges against ER pt and wins

    1Tulip replied to Nurse Ratched's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You know... I was reading through this thread and waiting to see if ANYone suggested defending themselves against molesters. Don't get me wrong, I think what that nurse did by pressing charges was...

  13. Evil People

    1Tulip replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    Maybe one thing you should think about is this; there are these kinds of people everywhere. Even if you bagged nursing, never set a foot in an ER again, you're not immune from meeting...

  14. As a nursing student...

    1Tulip replied to MMARN's topic in General Students

    (P.S. my husband is starting his PA program this year through the military, so even though he won't have the MD after his name, I can live with it) Ah HA! So SNRachel can lust after the guy in...

  15. Help- White Nursing Pants!

    1Tulip replied to AbDz41's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree about the skin-colored undies. OR (A blast from the past) if you are concerned that your pants are see-through in spite of your best efforts... white panty hose. The basic rule is...

  16. What has happened to simple, basic care???

    1Tulip replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    I really agree with the Actress. Bed baths are only partly about hygiene (as important as that is!) I am glad the ICU types responding on this thread are conscientious about baths. But I gotta tell...

  17. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You know, Krissy... I don't know. And I don't know of anyone else who does. And Martha is dead and can't tell us what she meant, if she ever knew. Here's what I've noticed in Nsg. departments in...

  18. Anyone working at Washoe Medical Center?

    1Tulip replied to SanFranSRNA's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I've heard a rumor that they have a freeze on hiring per diem nurses. Obviously they still need nurses since they are using travelers. Makes no sense to me. I will do some more calling around after...

  19. Not Picking up the slack or breaking my back......

    1Tulip replied to ColdFusion's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I have. But it was many years ago and I had a young back. And I was too naive or too gung-ho (like there's a difference) to know any better and tried to do more lifting than I should have. You...

  20. disturbing article in Wall Street Journal

    1Tulip replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    This is a tale of two hospitals. In our town, there are two main med centers. One of them decided a couple of years ago to leap into the 21st Century and computerize everything. For reasons already...

  21. As a nursing student...

    1Tulip replied to MMARN's topic in General Students

  22. As a nursing student...

    1Tulip replied to MMARN's topic in General Students

    Hmmmmm... so, in my day we dated freely and had a lot of candidates to choose from. But we were repressed by cultural and moral strictures. Which don't exist today. However, young women today are...

  23. As a nursing student...

    1Tulip replied to MMARN's topic in General Students

    I admit I'm old and out of it... but I don't get the way people date these days. Like... why don't you just date both guys openly and unapologetically? No one's put a ring on your left hand. Don't...

  24. As a nursing student...

    1Tulip replied to MMARN's topic in General Students

    Hey, asoldierswife05... You may be right now-a-days. But all the docs in my day were fleeing to the Navy to avoid being drafted by the Army and ending up in a MASH unit in 'Nam. So, we knew we were...

  25. Need an opinion

    1Tulip replied to Annie63's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's really hard to quantify. I've had students who worked full time... but on quiet units where they could actually haul out their notes and study. I've taught students who had several children,...
