  1. Sunday Service and Weekend shift

    Purple_roses replied to gigglebotRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    In this case, there's nothing any of us can say to help. If you can't attend another church and your church isn't willing to work with you, then you'll have to find another job that doesn't have...

  2. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    Purple_roses replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    I was speaking generally--not voicing an opinion on the specific meds this woman was prescribed. Generally speaking, I think some women may genuinely need stronger meds for pain

  3. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    Purple_roses replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    Eh. I really don't agree with this. I think of all the types of pain out there, post-birth is really deserving of a narc or two. They've been laboring and in pain for hours and hours, then continue to...

  4. Sunday Service and Weekend shift

    Purple_roses replied to gigglebotRN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    This might be a long shot that may take some time, but you could ask the leaders of your church if it would be feasible to either hold a second service on Saturday nights or Sunday nights. You could...

  5. I SAW HIM! - Near Death Experiences

    Purple_roses replied to spotangel's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    There is a difference between accommodating a patient's spiritual needs and actively digging for information about a traumatic event. As I've said earlier, my argument has NOTHING to do with religion...

  6. How is everyone's first year going?

    Purple_roses replied to Purple_roses's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How long did it take before you began to feel comfortable on your shifts? My honeymoon phase was apparently very short-lived, because now I'm beginning to dread going into work. Good luck on your...

  7. BSN or Biology

    Purple_roses replied to allie127's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should shadow different health care professionals to figure out what you're looking for. You want psych, case management, midwifery, and plastic surgery--those are all very different...

  8. I SAW HIM! - Near Death Experiences

    Purple_roses replied to spotangel's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I actually don't believe that the root of the issue here is religion. For instance, I'm an atheist--yet I ask every single one of my patients if they're religious or have religious needs that I can...

  9. I SAW HIM! - Near Death Experiences

    Purple_roses replied to spotangel's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think that asking patients, especially victims of abuse, to share their stories is really risky business. It's for the same reason that I would never ask someone in the military to tell me their...

  10. I just need some advice - or a hug. One or the other.

    Purple_roses replied to Doxie_loverRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's important for you to realize that you are not taking steps backward. I'm a new grad on tele, and that's just how tele is. One day I started out with five patients, had two discharges,...

  11. Back up stethoscope?

    Purple_roses replied to sillymu's topic in General Students

    No need to get a second one. Just keep your Littmann around your neck or in your pocket at all times. Don't set it on the counter. Don't let others borrow it. Don't keep in in your unlocked bag during...

  12. doea nursing cause health problems?

    Purple_roses replied to Jay1900's topic in General Nursing

    Yep yep. I think the key is listening to your body and giving it a break when it needs it. One of my coworkers is having awful knee problems. I'm currently trying to convince her to let everyone help...

  13. doea nursing cause health problems?

    Purple_roses replied to Jay1900's topic in General Nursing

    I'll bet it also has a lot to do with how night shift workers handle their sleep schedule. Some people sacrifice too much sleep in order to have a day life. (I'll probably be one of them, as I'm...

  14. Is hospital nursing an unbearably dirty job?

    Purple_roses replied to lisaniles's topic in General Nursing

    Deal! As a matter of fact (now that I think about it), I ate my lunch today right after changing a massively tragic brief. Did not even notice that

  15. Is hospital nursing an unbearably dirty job?

    Purple_roses replied to lisaniles's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing that could possibly stop me from

  16. Which field of nursing is the most technically hard?

    Purple_roses replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    That is AWESOME. 12 years--I can't even begin to imagine how much knowledge you

  17. Camp Nursing RN with EMT

    Purple_roses replied to Bear92's topic in General Nursing

    It's too bad they aren't calling the EMT an EMT. Telling people you have two nurses is fine and dandy, but telling people you have both a nurse AND an EMT--I mean that combo is a perfect fit for so...

  18. Which field of nursing is the most technically hard?

    Purple_roses replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    Wait you were a flight nurse?! I def posted my comment before reading this and if you're a flight nurse...well I'm totally shamelessly fan-girling right

  19. Which field of nursing is the most technically hard?

    Purple_roses replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, every nurse has to do continuing education in order to maintain the license. But my personal opinion (solely from what I've read about online) is that flight nursing is probably one of the...

  20. Planning to quit

    Purple_roses replied to rainyflowers's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's hard to know what you should do because you sound truly miserable. The safest thing to do would be to stay at least until you have a year under your belt, find something else, and *then* give a...

  21. Hospice Nurses is my Wife getting lowballed

    Purple_roses replied to Vraktar's topic in General Nursing

    I would check out Glassdoor to see what the average salary is

  22. Is being a CNA a really hard job?

    Purple_roses replied to Veronicax's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Being a CNA is a hard job! You do quit a bit of hard and often gross work for way too little pay. I did it for three years before I became a nurse. It helped me with people skills and for some, it...

  23. Research patient or see patient first?

    Purple_roses replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    I'm new too, so also trying to figure out how stuff works. We do bedside shift report, so that gives me the chance to do a superficial assessment on the pt (A/O, any signs of distress, pain, quick...

  24. Favorite Specialty

    Purple_roses replied to 2018nursewi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a new grad on tele. I hate mornings more than I hate shoveling a foot of snow at the crack of dawn, and that's saying something. Mornings on probably almost any floor are full of trying to get...

  25. Gross Things Patients Do

    Purple_roses replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in General Nursing

    Deleted. Phone acting
