   I'd love a copy of the USUHS pharm handbook as well if you're still around. Please, thank you, you're wonderful!

2. Littman Cardiology IV or Classic III for nursing student?

   Khaan replied to fiddlestix327's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   Littmann Cardio. I've tried littmann classics and also compared Welch Allyn Harvey Elite. I like the cardiology the best because of the dual head; however, the Harvey is superior to picking up tonal...

3. Are you about to graduate?

   Khaan replied to SaltySarcasticSally's topic in General Students

   I don't understand how you feel. I'm eager to be working as an RN, but I'm working 24 hours per week in a CCU doing the same thing, just not making money. I'm happy and not anxious at all. Maybe take...

7. What are you bringing to work?

   Khaan replied to dRummiN_KS's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

   Figs Scrubs (not the cargo pants. I hate cargo pants cause the stuff in the pockets swings around). ECCO Loafers (think wearing pajamas to work is fun? Try wearing shoes that feel like slippers and...

8. Why the double standard.

   Khaan replied to RN2364's topic in Men in Nursing

   This. I like doing all my own procedures, regardless if male or female. I'd ask a female RN or CNA to observe, and perhaps assist, in a procedure, as long as the patient is comfortable with it. What...

9. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

   Khaan replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   You're right. I hope that's not the reason. There's a lot of fantastic nurses in my unit that are overweight. I hate seeing the struggle they have to

10. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    Khaan replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can understand not wanting to hire overweight nurses. Your body burns out fast if you're fat, and nursing is a very physically demanding job. I see so many fat nurses who suffer on the job, and then...

11. Disturbing Conversation on Overweight Healthcare Workers

    Khaan replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

    Whether it should or not is one thing. The reality is, I believe many people will take other healthcare workers less seriously. I don't believe obesity correlates with poor clinician skills, but you...

12. How do CRNAs get treated by MDAs ?

    Khaan replied to april_tomorrow's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A summary of the first part of Watchful Care. It really is science and art. It takes finesse. This was moreso true when all they had was ether and precordial auscultation to titrate their anesthetic....

    Khaan replied to caffeinatednurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Khaan replied to offlabel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Versed just sucks for older individuals period. If they aren't anxious after a good bedside talk, why

15. How do CRNAs get treated by MDAs ?

    Khaan replied to april_tomorrow's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree. I've shadowed some CRNAs and MDAs and they just shrug at the notion of "turf." Who cares. As long as everyone gets respect & paid and the patient has better
