1. Amber Does the Unthinkable

   DrVen1 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I would have taken the time out too. I'm surprised this is even an issue considering all she had to deal with. The rudeness was uncalled for though...í ½í¸•

2. Ethics: Brain bleed sign out AMA

   DrVen1 replied to Kbig2's topic in General Nursing

   I so agree with what you said and I'm the same way about my No: respect it. I also wondered about the "wait until they're unconscious" part...how is that even ok? How is that any different than forcing them when they're awake? How is it any different...

3. How long should one grieve after losing job?

   DrVen1 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

   I can sympathize with your grieving. I'm sure it's hard for more experienced nurses to relate or sympathize but I can. I'm not a nurse but my first hospital job after graduation went pretty much the same way...I tried but I was too green, inexperienc...

4. I don't want to clean poop

   DrVen1 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

   I have to agree...I don't see envy at all. Just someone who is frustrated by the naivety of her sister...OP came across as a kind caring person with a good attitude about the less desirable parts of nursing

5. So fed up with my coworker

   DrVen1 replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Relations

   Me neither and I'm lovin it! You all are right and OP just needs to accept that.

6. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

   DrVen1 replied to Runman1914's topic in Relations

   I agree. Africa is a continent made up of many different countries, cultures and languages....that being said, from what I've seen, more often than not, nurses are indeed held in very high regard...

   That sounds about right Nurse Medicine Woman!

8. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

   DrVen1 replied to Runman1914's topic in Relations

   I think it's a combination of racial inequality both real and perceived and also lack of exposure---on both sides. You'd be surprised at how many AAs and Caucasians rarely interact with each other...in this day and age it still happens..

10. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    DrVen1 replied to Runman1914's topic in Relations

    It could be regional. A lot of my husbands relatives are nurses and it's a big deal. Of course everyone is encouraged to get the highest level of education possible. My husband and his aunt uncle and cousin are all doctors....

11. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    DrVen1 replied to Runman1914's topic in Relations

    The attitudes of African Americans towards Caucasians are completely different from that of West Indians, Africans and other people of color not born in America. The latter tend to (not always) have a better view of Caucasians. I'm sorry you had to e...

12. Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    DrVen1 replied to Runman1914's topic in Relations

    Nurses have status similar to doctors in a lot of overseas countries. In many cases they are the doctors! My husband is from Africa and over there becoming a nurse is almost like a status symbol...so that could be a huge reason ☺️

13. Should I wait to have a baby?

    DrVen1 replied to AHobbs's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I also have to side with the "have the baby now" club....people take for granted the act of carrying and having a baby because generally most women have babies no problem. But it is so true that as you get older it becomes harder and not always in th...
