OK. I know this is a topic that has probably been raised before, but I need an answer. I am a dresses and skirts only person. I have been looking for either a pattern or nurse dress that is in the WWI / WW2 style. So far, I have not been able to fin...

I just wanted to know what nursing is like in Russia. Are the standards different from here in the U.S.? What is the scope of practice? I am interested in overseas nursing, and Russia is one of the places I have been praying about. Any input is great...

I wanted to write this as an encouragement to other believers in the LORD Jesus Christ, that there are opportunities to give the Gospel in nursing. I am in my last semester of a nursing program. It is at a technical college, and none of my classmates...

Testing for accommodation and extraocular movements.....keep your eyes on the stethoscope baby, as I move it........so that's what I'll look like as a nurse!......don't worry, I can hear you from this distance..........these multipurpose stethoscopes...

Wow! I can hear your heart this far without even touching you. This is one good stethoscope!

Why is it always "older" nurses who are considered bullies? I'm starting to think that the question should be asked, "why do younger nurses eat the older, more experienced nurses?" When you think of younger nurses who feel entitled to red carpet trea...

'twas a pt. who has asked me in the past - she deals with anxiety issues all the time - this day she asked me about it after I gave her meds and got her ready for a nap.

Just a clarification to my OP. I want to let you know that just because I am a Christian, does not mean that I think my classmates or any other nurse I work with are beneath me. I have met many amazing nurses who are not Christians, whom I have learn...

Good food for thought; I'll chew on it. Actually, since you brought it up, I do wear skirts all the time, wear headcoverings, don't wear make up, would love a husband and family if my LORD sees fit! However, I try to glorify my Saviour where He has p...

Like I said earlier, I am not spending all of my time proselytizing. However, if I see an opportunity to speak, I will do so. I had a pt. just this past week ask me how to pray, so in answer to her request, I talked with her about prayer, and then pr...

Though this will be controversial, I have to say it; it is merely answering the end of the OP's post. According to the Bible, every man has a soul. Also there is an afterlife - either heaven or hell. The deciding factor is whether or not each person ...

I guess that I somewhat echo the OP's question; I thought in RN programs they still had a surgical rotation. What I mean is that nurses used to assist in the OR with cleaning, handing tools and such. Have surgical techs taken over that position now?

Honestly, in my experience, it may be more of a learning style than anything else. I used to be an A student, since I've been in nursing, I have been a B/C student. On the other hand, my clinical grades have increased as I have progressed, because I ...

Well! I wish I could have done nursing in a program like you describe! For me, it is so hard to comprehend the theory side, which seems to be the emphasis in the US. I learn best by hands on during clinicals; it would be amazing to have as many clini...

Frankly, none of these responses offend me! You can choose to be offended; I am not judging anyone on this forum, I am just putting out an encouragement for other Christians to be bold about their faith. Jesus did say that people would be offended by...

If vaccines are not 100% effective, what is the use of getting them? 'Cause then you have to get a booster, then another booster when they run out. I just don't get the logic: You shouldn't not vaccinate your kids, because they might get sick or some...

BTW, I have not actually seen this film, I am just posting about vaccines in general. Don't you think that someone who actually dares to question the status quo and do "unpopular" research might actually be showing signs of a working mind, meaning th...

I have to agree with Rocknurse about freedom of choice related to vaccines. I don't understand why pro-vaccers are so militant - I have heard people say that anti vaccers should be sterilised, their children taken away, have the parents thrown in jai...

believeallispossible, I don't think the examples you brought up from nursing school are valid examples of bullying. Guess what, I think it is called life. Anyone who has gone through nursing school can tell you that it is worlds different from high...

Just as an encouragement, some instructors may be willing to work with you. I have eyesight issues, so seeing PERRLA, skin changes can be difficult, as well as hearing issues with heart and lung sounds. My instructors were willing to work with me, bu...

Interesting discussion. I got my CNA before I started nursing school and found out that they are worlds apart. I think it is truly a matter of people not knowing what earning the title of "Nurse" really means. All members of the healthcare team are i...

In reference to the post above, "Which God" (I don't know how to quote). I mean the one and only God, the LORD of the Bible. But I can understand why you wouldn't want to discuss that right now! I like this thread, though. It sure is interesting.

I read an interesting factoid the other day: that uniforms would save some money as well. It probably costs money to try to keep up with the fashion trends. The reason why we have even young kids dressing immodestly is because our country has cast G...

I definitely think it is right for both boys and girls to be modest. My and my sisters dress modestly, and so do my brothers. We are careful in how we dress, and my brothers will "bounce" their eyes if they see immodesty outside the home. I agree tha...

I would finish nursing school first. Believe me, your desired specialty might change once you are done. I tried to get into correctional nursing for my leadership, but was told that I was too small, naïve, didn't look the type. Unfortunately, that ...
