    PROGNOSTICATE: The Future of U.S. Nursing relative to the changing cuture

    Kitiger replied to jhill134's topic in General Nursing

    I predict Obamacare will morph into socialized medicine within the next 10 years. That means basic healthcare will be available to all, but everything else will be rationed. And whoever controls the...

    Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    Kitiger replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Nonsmoking areas in the restaurants could be compared to "non-peeing" areas in a swimming pool. It's the same logic. To a smoker, the air in the nonsmoking section probably smelled clean, but...

    Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    Kitiger replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I was earnestly warned by several family members to NEVER start smoking! They pointed out that it was a "dirty habit" and expensive, to boot. And they couldn't quit. I decided young that I would never...

    Kitiger replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    This one is very important in private duty home care, because there is more than one right way to do things. Some homes have parents who require that all procedures be done exactly as they instruct,...

    My client's Christian parents figure out that I'm Christian

    Kitiger posted a topic in General Nursing

    When my client's parents are Christian, they figure out pretty quickly that I am also a Christian. I actually am not sure how this works; I don't speak 'King James', nor do I go in stating that I'm a...

    Nurse manager said O2 concentrator can be used with BMV?

    Kitiger replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    As I understand it, the high flow to a non-rebreather is necessary to inflate the reservoir. Since the patient cannot pull in room air - it all must come from the tank - you need enough volume...

    Nurse manager said O2 concentrator can be used with BMV?

    Kitiger replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. The high flow is necessary with a non-rebreather mask. But you don't use a non-rebreather mask to resuscitate a person. For that, you need something that will force air into the lungs, ie, a...

    Kitiger replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    I'm fine with the fact that they know I'm Christian. I was just curious whether other Christians encounter the same thing. And from these other posts, I see that people who aren't Christian get the...

    Hi, Sally; yeah, wrinkles hurt my youthful appearance, too. But I tell people that at least I'M SPRY! Dr. Fever, I've discovered that wrinkles are hereditary (parents get them from their children)....
