    Have you literally prayed over your workplace?

    Oh'Ello replied to gibsongirl's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    OP... so if one of your co-workers were a satanist, you'd be cool with them lurking around your desk doing weird stuff while you weren't there? I'll take my response off the

    Which stethoscope color to choose?

    Oh'Ello replied to xxMichelleJxx's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Whatever you choose don't waste your money on engraving. Those stethoscopes (in all colors) are a dime a dozen and a tiny millimeter sized engraving is NOT going to stop someone from walking off with...

    Oh'Ello replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Shellfish allergies are d/t invertebrate tropomyosin and aren't necessarily connected to contrast dye/iodine. The iodine allergy was debunked a billion years ago I don't know why it

    Oh'Ello replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    I'd Shadow.... just dress yourself so that you're not in a position to help with anything. Think: Business casual. No heels or skirts or anything but definitely don't wear scrubs and work shoes....

    "How are we doing today?"

    Oh'Ello replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have no problem with the Royal/Communal "we", and a number of my patients have remarked that they appreciate it. Perhaps it's the population, but most of our patients are alert, oriented, feeling...

    So...What Kind of Nursing Task Do You LIKE?

    Oh'Ello replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Dressing things: Wounds, Trachs, Central Lines. Theres no greater feeling than laying out a damned good looking dressing. IVPush Anything, but especially the 'Rubicins'. I also really love giving...

    IVPB as primary

    Oh'Ello replied to SilleLu's topic in General Nursing

    If the drugs are compatible I can't see why not. The IVPB is to distinguish between IVPush and whether or not its running through a pump. I don't think it specifically means you have to run it as...

    New grads in specialties without the basics

    Oh'Ello replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Newsflash: New grads in any position don't have the basics...because it's their first job. This whole discussion seems very "not in my

    What nursing task do you loathe???

    Oh'Ello replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    The utterly ridiculous, ludicrous: Sequential Compression Device documentation. Newsflash TJC. Nobodys clotting on my floor... no one has any platelets, 90% of the people are ambulatory. Every 6...

    New grad, new job in oncology

    Oh'Ello replied to ChronicSG's topic in Oncology

    Depending on where you work they may not even want the chemo card, but complete their own class and certification.... Just wait and see what they tell ya when you

    "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    Oh'Ello replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I didn't compare nurses to teachers as professionals. I used them as an example of how education inflation hasn't exactly made them
  15. Oh'Ello

    A question??

    Oh'Ello replied to Salisburysteak's topic in Patient Medications

    Uhh... what weird science said. You just back prime if its not compatible and spike the next med. Using separate tubing for each med just creates a nightmare of an IV pole, more risk for...

    Oh'Ello replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm not talking about the nursing shortage and nurses unwillingness to work. I'm talking about reducing the number of nurses eligible to work because of a lack of education. If we were......

    "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    Oh'Ello replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree that there would be a lot more PT's if the education requirement was lower. I also think there would be a lot more unemployed PT's if a bachelors was all it took. The point is the market...

    Oh'Ello replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
