hold on sister, have you ever heard of life. maybe she had a plan but inflation happened and it wasn't enough . maybe she had an older child that needed financial help and she did which left her without. don't preach stupid stuff when it is obvious y...

I know several nurses that have not had hands on nursing except nurse training. they are MDS coordinators, home health case managers or take more education and go into administration. you really did not say the reason you hate nursing. is it the pati...

This is in all businesses if it is mostly women. I am a woman and I absolutely hate working with women. I work ICU or a place where major work is done by me and I don't spend time at the desk. when I hear someone ripping someone apart, I leave. one t...

it is comments like your unit clerk made that causes riffs between shifts. next time don't say anything she was venting and not very tactful. you let the cat out of the bag and put a target on your back and put yourself in a bad position with your ow...

I hope you have malpractice insurance. that doesn't mean you will need it. your hospital will investigate and let you know if you were responsible. if the family is mad or feels there was a hospital glitch they will sue the hospital. more money. but ...

are you able to take college classes while in high school? if so take your general ed classes this pushes you ahead faster. take a medical terminology class. write down the dream you have then daily journal the step you took to get to this dream. Bel...

maybe a job that will give you 6 weeks of preceptership will help build your confidence. also a night position in a LTAC is slower pace than acute but still gives the experience you need. Going to school at this time will not give you what you are lo...

using mouth wash also kills bacteria and stinky feet

2 pair of cotton socks with a change after school. they go through a lot of socks but 5he odor is limited.

you are becoming a man, that is a good thing. men have body odor, that's a bad thing. you are a man use soap and water every day on tthe parts that no one sees. then use deodorant, a little cologne and the next thing you know you'll be shaving. any ...

having every certificate up to date. be humble not a know it all. research the patients diagnosis on that floor. in other words, if the floor is a medical floor ,know about respiratory infections, AIDS, diabetes, cardiac diseases. if it is surgical f...

I was hired for a job from 1 word that stood out on my resume. PICC line dressing. ok 3 words but the point is 1 word makes a difference

you win

obviouly a new nurse. there is no legit source except the experiences that seasoned nurses have. so keep thinking your purest thoughts and then when it finally happens to you, you can then sue for the vegetative state patient. not everything Is black...

legal? whose going to sue? the patient who is now vegatative,or the family that refused to honor his wishes?

thank you, as I have said many times the patient is incapable or incapacitated to make decisions the family can rule no matter what the Polst states. the POA had better be someone that is trusted to carry out the wishes. I have my friend not my son b...

yes that is true but then I saw there was a miracle on our floor because a quadriplegic walked in his room for 1 CNA and the nurse confirmed it with her charting. but by the next shift alas, he was a quadriplegic again. this is very had to explain to...

well, you are wrong unless someone in the family is there that has POA we have to follow the family wishes

well, you are wrong, if the family says no do all you can to save my family member, we have to do it.

where did you get your information. you can go get a medical bracelet off of the internet or at Walgreens or any other drugstore

I have thought about a DNR tatoo but a lawyer stated unless you are with someone who knows your wishes the tatoo would not make a difference.

I've seen some pretty good chart as a chart review nurse. so good in fact, that it makes me wonder if all the things that were charted were actually done. nobody has that much time in an 8 or 12 hour shift. especially, if there is a glitch in the day...

CPR IS GOOD ANYWHERE. may be ACLS might be above her understanding but with Dr. without borders ACLS is priceless.
