  1. What type of nursing job can I get with ICU experience

    Anonymous666 replied to NURSEJSS's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd say the way you feel is pretty normal. Everyone who works in such an area has a love-hate relationship with the job. With a year experience in ICU, you'll pretty much be able to work anywhere....

  2. Nurse from US interested in moving to Canada

    Anonymous666 posted a topic in International Nursing

    Hi, I am a British citizen who has been working in the US as an LVN for the last 8 years. I will graduate with my bachelors of nursing in August. I plan to work ICU, as this is an area from which...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks! That's very helpful. As an LVN I have always worked medsurg/IMU. I'm in Texas, so I've been doing the same on the floor as RNs, except having I've had to get them to sign my blood...

  5. US RN to work abroad?

    Hey Bert, This may be a silly question, but am I correct in assuming that a US nurse working in Ecuador would have to speak

  6. Nurses with Medical Marijuana Cards.

    Anonymous666 replied to fltopp1's topic in General Nursing

    You would still get fired and/or be held responsible for any odd situation that happened requiring a drug screen if you tested positive. Like I said, there is a big difference between testing positive...

    Anonymous666 replied to zephyr9's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I like to get high.

  8. Nurses with Medical Marijuana Cards.

    Anonymous666 replied to fltopp1's topic in General Nursing

    I always wondered this myself. Colorada, where its use for recreation is now legal, was my concern. I'd imagine you would still not get hired and would get fired for a positive test. As for the mind...

  9. Addressing patients by their first name...

    Anonymous666 replied to tytkhat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel weird calling patients by their first names and do so only when they request that I do or I am trying to revive them form an unconscious/semi-conscious

  10. Charge nurse

    Anonymous666 replied to Nightowl_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    What is the time frame required for a "brown ring" to develop? What kind of evidence would need to be collected before one can decide if this CNA is lying? Does the fact that no one in this thread...

  11. Should I go to school to become a nurse or PA?

    Anonymous666 replied to debbieprobe's topic in General Nursing

    This is an excellent point, especially because, as keylimesqueez stated, it is more difficult to find work in the bigger hospitals unless you have a BSN, in most states,

  12. worth the debt? Im stuck on this decision...)

    Anonymous666 replied to kiki617's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are in the program, go for it! It's not easy to get into those programs. You now have the opportunity to dig yourself out of the debt you have already accumulated and will accumulate. Forget...

  13. Should I go to school to become a nurse or PA?

    Anonymous666 replied to debbieprobe's topic in General Nursing

    Question 1:Should I go to school to become a nurse or a PA? -Nurse. Hands down, given your requirements. It's a 2 year degree for an associates, and most community colleges offer this at a pretty...

  14. I Need some kind of RN Career Counselor

    Anonymous666 replied to Nurse J1112's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say you sound perfect for corrections nursing. You will deal with nothing but patients being manipulative and doing the craziest things to get what they want. A very tame example would be faking...

  15. Confidence in your RN skills

    Anonymous666 replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. I feel like this a lot. I think if you don't, you are doing it

  16. Charge nurse

    Anonymous666 replied to Nightowl_lpn's topic in General Nursing

    I've charged before in an LTC facility. From my experience the CNAs know their patients very well. They are aware of who needs changing and how often and who is likely to climb out of bed when wet...

    Dunno about all that. I always understood slamming to mean exactly that, slamming. Consider slamming a door verses shutting a

  20. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I will not do this, as I feel the answer to this question should be more than obvious. And, oh my god, yes! It was a completely subjective

  21. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I own the statement. I will not "admit" that I judged this patient on how he uses his meds, because I did not. I cannot understand why you, or anyone else of your persuasion, are unable to comprehend...

  23. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm so glad I started this thread. I can finally see where I went wrong all along. Maybe he didn't even have cigarettes at all. It was probably the fact that I had him pegged as a loser drug addict...
