    Preceptorship articles...know of any?

    Nonyvole replied to seks's topic in General Nursing

    Where did you find that article? And talk about a good research

    Can we lay to rest the "compassion" nonsense?

    Nonyvole replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    My compassion is right where it belongs - with my patients. It's wroth them so much that they will sometimes thank me for telling them no! (Oh, she's so nice, I'm still hurting but I see why I'm not...

    Thank you, Joy Behar!

    Nonyvole replied to ixchel's topic in Nursing Humor

    So I scrolled down on their page. Another one of the hosts said that (paraphrased here) there are consequences to making fun of groups of

    Cops and Nurses

    Nonyvole replied to GundeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the officer. Was pulled over and ticketed for speeding once (not even 10 over...). I asked one of the cops that I saw at work later that night about the officers who worked that...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    RN that doesn't want to be an NP

    Nonyvole replied to Matt8700's topic in Emergency

    Love bedside nursing. Really don't want to stop...ever. I'm the sort that will need to be carried out, feet first, from my

    Pulse ox reading poorly

    Nonyvole replied to tsm007's topic in General Nursing

    Think about what happens when the body is in a cold environment. Blood flow decreases to the extremities, which is why fingers are terrible places for an accurate pulse-ox reading in somebody with...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Nonyvole replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Less than 30 seconds looking up the current HM rating description and yes, they are assistants. Do a portion of them serve in commands where there is no RN/PA/APRN/MD/DO? Yes. But that's after...

    narrative documentation and use of "this nurse"

    Nonyvole replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I write third person. "Patient started yelling at RN about 'I am going to mess you up' and was waving a knife. RN called a code V and PD responded..." My name is on the chart, I can go back a year...

    Scrubs with mis-matched colours

    Nonyvole replied to zcewaunt's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    One would think that, well, a color was a color! It is so annoying how what is navy blue to one company is midnight blue to another and not even in the color palette to a

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Nonyvole replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Mmmmm...I may be slightly singed around the edges, but regardless of my attempts to point things out to the students who are the ones saying that we need to be thankful to the students sounding like...

    Scrubs with mis-matched colours

    Nonyvole replied to zcewaunt's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Mismatched scrubs as a student, as long as you weren't told otherwise, isn't a problem. Now, when you have different shades of the same

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Nonyvole replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Being a FTO is completely different than being a staff nurse. Same with being a Corpsman. While I don't know exactly how Naval hospitals use them, the sad fact of the matter is that a Corpsman is...

    Ethics: Does knowledge of a patient's blood borne pathogen change your care?

    Nonyvole replied to JMed18's topic in General Nursing

    Short answer: no. Long answer: why should it? People who have Hepatitis/HIV/the plague don't ask to get it. The people who need to know, know, and the people who don't,

    Cannot stand director

    Nonyvole replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    OP, I think that this is the first time somebody over the age of 10 has referred to me as "old." Miserable, eh, sometimes, I have chronic pain. Hag...let me check...nope, still no cauldrons or bats...

    Nursing Instructors Would Rather see You Fail than Succeed

    Hiring Trends

    Nonyvole replied to janice M's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried looking at the ANCC website, since they're the ones that confer magnet status? Really, when it comes to education, all they require is that managers have at least a BSN. Nothing said...

    What does your username mean?

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Nonyvole replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    While nursing, to me, is a calling, that isn't the primary reason that I went for it and went to nursing school. I chose to become a nurse because it was a reliable job that entails me to go wherever...

    Nurse Shadow

    Nonyvole replied to FTRRNKT's topic in General Students

    First, what is shown on TV isn't reality. Even the reality ER shows pick and choose what they'll show. Second, there is a good chance that the nurse you will be shadowing won't even be assigned to the...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Nonyvole replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Here's my experience with students. They come drifting in 30, 40 minutes after shift change, so they've missed report. They expect me to tell them all about my patients - understandable, because you...

    Social Anxiety as a male in Nursing School

    Nonyvole replied to fcp4life's topic in General Nursing

    This is where the fine art of looking without seeing comes into play. Slowly scan the tops of people's heads and they'll think that you're looking at them. Have a classmate that isn't in your group to...

    Mormon culture

    Nonyvole replied to XXXX5's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is where the main LDS website will help you out immensely. You can search around on there, and if it doesn't have all the information you need, missionaries are also available to answer questions...

    New grads in specialties without the basics

    Nonyvole replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Once upon a time I had it all figured out. I'd graduate nursing school - top of the class, naturally - and be hired at the best hospital in the city. In the ICU. Or ER, I wasn't picky because both...

    What do you guys like to do in your free time?

    Nonyvole replied to PianoTiles's topic in General Nursing

    Travel. Read. Walk the dog. Knit. Crochet. Play video games. Surf the net. Clean. Right now I'm redecorating a few rooms in my house and trying to decide where I want to go for my next
