  2. Tattoos!

    midazoslam replied to mmbucklerky's topic in General Students

    Whilst I have to agree with your point, Ruby that some tattoos are ugly, that does not detract from the main point. That acceptance and tolerance should prevail over discrimination and/or judgement...

  3. Advancing in Nursing

    midazoslam replied to Zelda, RN's topic in Nursing Career

    You're more than welcome. It sounds like you would be more than willing to challenge yourself and push yourself, no matter what area you work in. That's a huge positive, and something very desirable....

  4. Do you talk to your coworkers alot on your lunch break?

    midazoslam replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where I work, we're a team of about 13. We're very close and try to have lunch together when we can, or we'll organise a luncheon in our clinical team meetings particularly if it's someone's birthday....

    midazoslam replied to midazoslam's topic in Oncology

    Littlegucci thank you for your encouraging words. You have eased my worries a little :) How long have you been in onc for? What things do you find most challenging? Most rewarding? Thanks

  7. Advancing in Nursing

    midazoslam replied to Zelda, RN's topic in Nursing Career

    If it helps, I have worked in psych for over three years and have just been offered an interview with the oncology department. Your skills won't "disappear", but they will require tweaking - so long...

  8. Tattoos!

    midazoslam replied to mmbucklerky's topic in General Students

    No tatts over here, but had rad purple and hot pink hair. Everyone was fine with that - in fact the boss loved it :) Tatts are becoming more and more commonplace, and as such all healthcare facilities...

  11. To medicate or not to medicate

    midazoslam replied to SuperMomBob's topic in Patient Medications

    Thanks

  12. To medicate or not to medicate

    midazoslam replied to SuperMomBob's topic in Patient Medications

    Hi all, Interesting discussion. My 2 cents worth below from a +65 POV: 1.) No need to medicate if it is not required. If the person doesn't require a PRN, than there is no reason to give it. 2.)...

  13. What is it like to be an Oncology nurse?

    midazoslam replied to EmBSNStudent's topic in Oncology

    Hi all, Thank you to all for your detailed responses. I have just bit the bullet and applied for an oncology position at my local hospital. After working in mental health for the past three years, I...

  14. What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

    midazoslam replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Once she's stabilised, I'd counsel her regarding management of her CCF; the UDS may not be a priority at present - I'd be worried more about her obs, unless of course you're worried about possible...

  15. Methadone analgesia.

    midazoslam posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has had experience with methadone as an analgesic agent in a palliative setting? If so, how has it worked for your client? How is it monitored (particularly in...

  16. Did I just screw myself out of this job?

    midazoslam replied to N7K8's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It sounds like that there was a miscommunication between both parties - the organisation and you. All that can be done is to call on Monday, explain your predicament and what was discussed with the...

  17. Religion, Politics, and Nursing

    midazoslam replied to jaycam's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    ...and I just want to give my deepest condolences and sympathies to all of the families involved in the South Carolina massacre. What sad, sad

  18. Religion, Politics, and Nursing

    midazoslam replied to jaycam's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Damn ageism! He sounds like a great candidate. I like a pollie who isn't afraid to be a bit left of centre! How I wish that these people who make sense would get into power... But even when a good egg...

  19. anxiety vs. agitation; Ativan vs. Haldol

    midazoslam replied to aging1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm just a mere learner of hospice and pall care, however from what I understand in my local Pall Care team, haloperidol and midaz are used together most frequently for agitation, and distressing...

    midazoslam replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

  21. What would you suggest to your preceptor if..

    midazoslam replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Great topic. I'm attending a preceptorship training day soon, and hope to learn as much possible. I am going to be an official preceptor within the next two weeks, and I am excited but nervous! Thanks...

  22. Religion, Politics, and Nursing

    midazoslam replied to jaycam's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's part of their job description, isn't it? Actions also speak louder than words, and going by history all of them make promises to get/stay elected and then pull the pin on it once they're in...

  23. Methadone analgesia.

    midazoslam replied to midazoslam's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thanks for all of your responses. It is a great analgesic it sounds like, however requires quite close monitoring too. Can't wait until I can put all of this theory into

  24. Religion, Politics, and Nursing

    midazoslam replied to jaycam's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Thanks for sharing! There certainly has been a big debate happening! I'm non religious, but am somewhat spiritual. I believe that people should be treated kindly and everyone deserves dignity. No one...

  25. This week, I learned..... (6/6/15)

    midazoslam replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Ood, this is for you: The Beast and his armies will rise from the pit to make war against God... I'm sorry, I said I hope you enjoy your meal.
