3. Great Nurse = Great Leader???

   airwaynurse replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

   Slight enigma present, right after saying, "I was with you until you started quoting the Bible. I think your reference material should be a little more current." You state that you are not bashing! Wow! Seems like you started with the "anti-Christian...

4. Great Nurse = Great Leader???

   llg, Webster's defines snarky as "being crotchety, snappish; sarcastic, impertinent, or irreverent in tone or manner." Platitude, by definition, is "the quality or state of being dull or insipid. A banal, trite, or stale remark." As far as the ...

5. Great Nurse = Great Leader???

   airwaynurse replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

   llg, I guess that my worldview got in the way of your understanding. Treating people how you would like to be treated is simply this: showing respect, kindness, love and compassion to other humans. That is grounded in Imago Dei, the belief that ...

   How many times have you experienced the ramifications of this perceived axiom? The nursing profession is replete with casualties of this faulty premise. An excellent nurse/clinician is thrust into leadership with the rationale that "you are such a gr...

7. Emergency Nursing Pearls-Things they don’t teach in Nursing school.

   airwaynurse replied to GOMER-RN's topic in Emergency

   Gomer and Scottaprn: I agreed with most of the pearls you shared. Helpful stuff. Off the top of my head let me say: There is such an intuitive component to what we do as nurses! The down side is that it takes a great deal of experie...

   Ratlady! Thanks for your kind words, thanks for your service! Congratulations on the BSN program, too! Kind regards and best of luck to you! The New BAMC facility was built about the time I left San Antonio....it is a great facility! Nurse On!

   airwaynurse replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

   Nicktexas, You should probably read more carefully. The confusion that you seem to be having with my article is that what you find so "strange" is not in the article at all. Attention to detail will help you sort through what I "self described" in...

10. 69 Medications Every New ER Nurse Must Master!

    airwaynurse replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in Emergency

    Enjoyed this article Michael! Nuts and bolts stuff. Training and preparation is the key to any successful endeavor. I always taught new critical care nurses, flight nurses and paramedics (don't ever sell paramedics short) to further subdivide the lis...

    airwaynurse replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Being deployed is definitely an Army thing. In 1995 the US ARMY Medical Department was cut deeply and a lot of the asset became Reserve Units. As far as comparing the services goes I'm not up to speed on the current situations. The Air Force would ha...

    airwaynurse replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

    It is certainly meant to be atypical as a pathway to being a nurse, that was my retrospective point. It does, however, demonstrate that a second career nursing student can succeed. By the way, a combat engineer's mission essential task list is differ...

    airwaynurse replied to airwaynurse's topic in General Nursing

    nicktexas: Didn't give a whole lot of specifics; It was a general nature, here's how I became an RN, article that spanned about 6 years. Discretion is the better part of valor!

14. Children learn by example

    airwaynurse replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Great toon! Much like the ability to obtain a manual blood pressure (or really understand what clinical data is obtained by it) nurse abbreviations are fading away....like the apothecary/Latin abbreviations that have been "outlawed" over past years...
