    Ever experience a patient's family member grieving in an odd way?

    DLS_PMHNP replied to shhhh's topic in General Nursing

    ok, so I'm a hospice nurse and may be a little biased.. Would it have been so bad to let her lay in bed with him after you were done with your procedures, ET tube, etc? He was surely going to die....

    DLS_PMHNP replied to maegan86's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How many outcomes have you come up with so far? It's much easier to help when we know how much time and effort you have already put into this. If you haven't come up with any, I suggest you consult...

    DLS_PMHNP replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Every time I see some bratty out-of-control kids in public, I turn to my husband and say "Wow, now THAT makes me want to get my tubes tied..."! As far as my 'raunchy' answer, for when people ask...

    DLS_PMHNP replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    DLS_PMHNP replied to justkellymarie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think taking a position on a med/surg floor would be a great idea (there are definitely more plentiful than OB, I'm guessing), Get your 1 year of m/s experience and then move on to your specialty...

    Which stethoscope to buy???

    DLS_PMHNP replied to kelseymalynn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
