  1. The Stethoscope

    NursesRmofun replied to Flyboy17's topic in General Nursing

    Okay. Honesty rears its' ugly head. I really loath the show. Watched clips of it a few times. *Never* a full show. That would be WAY too much for me. I Loathed it before this episode of hatred against...

    It would be great to get national ratios! I'm not sure they'd pick the right numbers...but it's a start. I actually like acuity based

  4. Can we lay to rest the "compassion" nonsense?

    NursesRmofun replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    My reaction is that I prefer my nurses (as a patient and as a co-worker) to have compassion, but it is not the biggest priority...first, they should be skilled and good at what they do. Not sure what...

  8. If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    NursesRmofun replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    Good question. It (nursing) was a good career choice and what I wanted to do...a calling...and I did and do it pretty well. However, if I could do it all over, I'd be a RT. The money is almost as much...

  10. 58 years old - Am I too old to start nursing school??

    NursesRmofun replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'd love to know where you work that it is easier than it is as PCT or CNA. Not even close at my place of work. I understand CNA's can do some physical work. I do as a nurse also. But add all the...

  12. What is your most and least favourite area/specialty of nursing and why?

    NursesRmofun replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    I love Oncology and should have stayed in it. I have not. Maybe I'll do hospice again since it's a little lighter on an older body. I also didn't mind corrections....but prefered Federal Max Prison to...

  14. Orientation for experienced RNs

    NursesRmofun replied to tejon's topic in General Nursing

    I think orienting has changed on average and may be shorter or longer in certain areas. I, personally, would prefer a shorter orientation that allowed you to shadow someone for 3-4 12 hr shifts then...

  19. 58 years old - Am I too old to start nursing school??

    NursesRmofun replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Nurse Beth is right. I feel your pain. I went back to school LPN to RN in the early 2000's in my early 40's. That was hard enough for me. If I had to think about going to school now, while it would be...

  23. why do so many nurses post that they love the med scanners

    NursesRmofun replied to the nites's topic in General Nursing

    Anywho.....lol....I like them but they can "act up"...meaning taking too long or repositioning to scan. I think the pros outweigh the cons.

  25. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    NursesRmofun replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    It was explained to me that it is natural for the body to react to the flu vaccine as it would the flu, only to a lesser degree. So, yes...you might have a spike of (short lived) fever or aches. It is...
