I can understand that the mother does not want to let her son go but the kid's braindead which is pretty logical when you consider the fact that he shot himself in the neck with a 9mm round. As an outsider I would say that the hospital is completel...

White pants and a white short labcoat. Here it doesn't matter what kind of shoes you wear, as long as they're easy to clean and comfortable to wear. We actually wear the same type of uniform as the nurses themselves are required to wear. Here in the ...

Are watches not considered to be an infection hazard in the US? Here in the Netherlands they are and we're even forbidden to wear watches while at work.

Luckily I don't have to buy any uniforms myself. Everything is provided for by the hospital so if my uniform were to get dirty I would simply grab a new one(first clinical in one month)

Brita, my condolences for your loss. I wish there were more people on this planet like you. It takes a special person to care for someone for three years. I'm confident that your patiënt is in heaven now, having the time of her life so don't be too s...

That woman has gone completely insane. What she did their has got nothing to do with Christianity. It's people like her that I fear and hate the most. Extremism of any form is wrong, because it will always hurt someone else. If you ask me, than ext...

I myself am a Christian but I'm also convinced that all religions are valid. I don't think that there is one single religion that is The Truth. If you ask me than Islam is just as valid as Christianity or Budhism. I do believe in the existence of one...

I think that having a "calling" to become a nurse is very well possible and I think that there are most certainly nurses out there who are in the profession because they have what they experience to be a calling to be a nurse. For me personally, I fo...

That one's been posted a thousand times already Greenjanell. Please think of something original.

People, in two months I'm going to have my first clinical in a hospital. Except for good shoes, do you guys any advice on stuff I absolutely need? Appreciate any advice you could give me.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Thanks for the explanation ChayaN.

May sound stupid, but could somebody explain to me exactly what a breech delivery is?

I'm a nursing student in the Netherlands. I don't have any plans to go to the US. Life is to good here. Bye, Michiel Messink

aaargh. 20000 US dollars for one year of school in the US? Here in the Netherlands I only have to pay about 2500 Euros/3000 US dollars a year for nursing school, and that includes books. Uniforms are provided by the hospital. I guess I have to consid...

I think we're looking at this story about a nurse dating a married doc too much from one side. The information is also one-sided, none of us knows all the circumstances. I for one, before passing judgment would like to know all the circumstances. Wha...

Does their relationship interfere with their ability to perform their jobs right? If so, than I might report them, if addressing them about the issue doesn't work. If it doesn't interfere with their ability to perform their jobs correctly than I wo...

Congratulations!! you earned it. Good luck with your new job. Bye, Michiel Messink

I've got a compaq presario r3000. 15.1 ich widescreen, 1.6GHZ AMD Athlon processor 512mb RAM, DVD+rewriter and a 64mb video card. I bought this laptop about a year ago for 1000 euros(approximately 1300 US dollars). It's fairly heavy for a laptop, 3....

Goretex LOWA mountain shoes for me. waterproof and so much profile on the sole that you'll never slip.

An excellent article indeed. Gordon sinply hits the nail on it's head. I believe that's she's definately makes a valid point in the article.

Congratulations. Enjoy it, you deserve it!

The guy in Grey's Anatomy about who is the cause of the code black has a home made bazooka shell in his gut. By sticking her hand into the guy Meredith is holding the grenade stable and therefore preventing it from exploding.

Joey, I'm glad to hear that you're doing allright, considering the circumstances. Good luck with your boards and the job interview. Bye, Michiel

nurses make nursing diagnoses, which are completely different from medical diagnoses. Just read Nursing Diagnoses by Lynda Juall Carpenito-Moyet. I'm sorry I don't know anything about an online program for making nursing diagnoses.
