  2. Working in Europe?

    Jesskanurse replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ok so I feel like I have to edit my original post since I dont want to look like an idiot. I have never been to Europe, nor do I have any european nurse friends. I am assuming that licensure would...

  3. Working in Europe?

    Jesskanurse replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, simmer down there... no need to be rude to me. Shoot, they all have the same currency dont they? Thats why I asked the question. And no, I dont think currency has anything to do with nursing...

  4. Pharmaceutical Sales?

    Jesskanurse replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well... I do want a family someday, but as I see it, I'm young, I want to travel, and I could use the money for saving (house, etc.) I've been told by many people that I'm outgoing and have a good...

  5. Dumb IVPB question

    Jesskanurse replied to NellieP73's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused....why are they using D5W with the IVIG instead of 0.9 NS anyways? I am in a Critical Care class right now and they said that D5W actually works hypotensively since the dextrose...

  6. Is this a HIPAA violation

    Jesskanurse replied to avalynn's topic in General Nursing

    Can't help this... it's just a pet peeve of mine. It's HIPAA, not HIPPA. :) Ok carry

  7. Pharmaceutical Sales?

    Jesskanurse replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your input. I just don't know what I want to do. I know I want to do something that is challenging, has a lot of variety, has a lot of people-people interaction *I hate working in front...

  8. Pharmaceutical Sales?

    Jesskanurse replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sooo... I guess the big question is... would you recommend doing this? I'm 23 years old with a BSN but no sales

  9. Uniforms

    Jesskanurse replied to Christie RN2006's topic in General Nursing

    For us it is a unit by unit thing. I'm not sure about the other units but as of 10/1 in the ICU I work we are to wear Royal Blue. Of course we can wear white with it as well. Light blue is easier to...

  10. "Lazarus Maneuver"

    Jesskanurse replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow that is so crazy. I wonder if this has ever been actually studied before. I mean... seriously how can it happen to these people who are comatose/brain dead and the such??

  11. "Lazarus Maneuver"

    Jesskanurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever seen this happen? I have heard from a couple of nurses that sometimes as a person is approaching death or even dead, they reach up with both of their arms. Just wondering if anyone...

    Jesskanurse replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh.... MY goodness. I can NOT believe you don't think is wrong! So you're telling me you basically conned this poor woman into thinking that God was actually speaking with her? I have tried to keep my...

  13. Has anyone in L&D seen this or heard of this?

    Jesskanurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    http://www.nrlc.org/Federal/Born_Alive_Infants/index.html This sounds so

  14. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    Jesskanurse replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, It may be unethical in YOUR OPINION to tell her that... but any ethics board would tell you that you are wrong. As for your last sentence: How do you know what will damage your resident and what...

  15. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    Jesskanurse replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Experience isn't everything. I just know how to use my resources and happen to find this topic interesting. My resources include include a 4 year college degree, great psych nurses, and friends with...

  16. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    Jesskanurse replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I will refrain from making any sarcastic comments here to respect your post. It was a good effort, but when you are going to quote a dictionary, remember to read the definition first. Orientate IS a...

  17. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    Jesskanurse replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, first off, taking care of a patient with dementia IS taking care of a patient with a psych issue. Psych can be found everywhere, not just in behavioral health facilities. What should we do as...

  18. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    Jesskanurse replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No, I fortunately do not have any family members or close people dealing with this disease. I just happen to take mental health seriously and as a healthcare professional, I am bothered when other...

  19. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    Jesskanurse replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Go right ahead... I'm very interested to see what you say in regard to me being 'wrong on so many levels.' I want to know how you try to justify lying to your

  20. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    Jesskanurse replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks Romie! I was beginning to get worried.

  21. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    Jesskanurse replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    "Therapeutic lying" is absolutely inappropriate. It is unethical and in my opinion, it implies pure laziness on the Nurse's part. Telling the patient what you think 'they want to hear' does nothing...

  22. Annoyed about a bonus ...help *long*

    Jesskanurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am in a situation that I need a little input on. I started in February in an ICU (new grad). As of the second week of June, I was in my final week of orientation. For my final week, I was scheduled...

  23. Annoyed about a bonus ...help *long*

    Jesskanurse replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, thank you for all the responses. To be honest, at the time it was nice to think I was going to get another hundred or so but now for me, it is the concept. I refuse to be a doormat. I never knew...

  24. PA vs. NP

    Jesskanurse replied to at2726's topic in General Nursing

    actually, a pa is not a physician's assistant. that implies possession. they are mid level providers just like nps. they don't belong to the physician. they also work quite autonomously, but it's...

  25. Chem 7 vs. BMP/CMP

    Jesskanurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I read an order the other day for a "Chem 7" and didn't know what it was. I don't remember learning about this in school. My coworker told me this is the same as a BMP or CMP (I can't remember which...
