    Bedside Shift Report

    Emergent replied to Seasoned's topic in General Nursing

    I don't base everything I do on the rule of law. I think, out of respect for the patient, we don't need to be revealing intimate details to a the stranger in the next bed. If I was the patient I'd be...

    Bedside Shift Report

    Emergent replied to Seasoned's topic in General Nursing

    When I was still working the floors, this was the latest and greatest solution to all that was wrong with nursing, and was mandated by the hospital. I floated all over the hospital, and one floor's...

    Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm done answering student nurse help me threads here. I've gotten rude answers, or they never even bother coming back to the thread to acknowledge the answers they received. Some will ask...

    The Culture of Nursing

    Emergent replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I think the problems in nursing reflect the larger societal ills. Folks too hurried to care for their own health and bodies. Many women enabling the rest of their family members so hubby can have a...

    I'm not sure if I'm crusty enough, but I'm rather cynical. May I start a offshoot of the COB society? Cynical Old

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Better late than never, I say. The internet can be a good way to learn what people REALLY think of the way you present yourself, if you let it. Folks are more unfiltered here. So, these youngsters...

    I'm happy that this thread has gotten back on track. I had no idea I would be starting such an epic thread. I'm very pleased that our young friend has chosen a more anonymous user name and avatar....

    Tactful education; Obesity

    Emergent replied to BlueLightRN's topic in Patient Education

    I do talk to patients about healthier eating habits. I try to get them to think about making small changes towards better health, not emphasizing weight loss, per se, but gradually trying to cultivate...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The disturbing thing about someone using a 'real name' and a 'real photo' here? We don't know if they are really using their own, or trying to defame someone they want to hurt. I think maybe the site...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having a good cry now over the suffering in WWII. Awful! 50-80 million died overall. Country with the highest percentage of loss of life- Poland. Country with the highest death count- Russia. And...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I definitely touched a nerve by starting this thread! To those sensitive souls who say we can just ignore the threads we don't like- yes, I mentioned that I'd be doing so in my first post. And,...

    I tried it, I didn't see that option. I'm using Google Chrome, maybe it doesn't work in that? Like Ruby, I use the 'What's New' feature to navigate here, so I can see what's in the entire site,...

    Another oddity here are the "Did I pass?" threads. They tell how many questions they answered before the computer testing program ended (I was pre-computer testing, so bear with me here) That seems...

    Job in Trauma 2 ER vs. Trauma 1 ER

    Emergent replied to PacoUSA's topic in Emergency

    A level 2 hospital you will see plenty of big traumas! I work at a level 3 and we deal with big traumas since level 3s are a the highest level we have in our area. We don't have a neurosurgeon on...

    V tach leading to an MI

    Emergent replied to Katniss88's topic in Cardiac

    Runs of V-tach can indicate that the heart muscle is irritable. That can most certainly be the result of an ongoing MI. It also happens post reperfusion , such as when the heart muscle is reperfused...

    Emergent replied to Indyrn00's topic in General Nursing

    I would never want to work at home. I like going into the overstimulating ER where I work, work like a maniac with a smile on my face, then retreat to my home to rejuvenate and re-center. I think if...
