  1. Need advice on nursing!! College student answer please !

    Woodenpug replied to Nycstudent24's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not clear as to what type of advise you want. Do you need to start making money in about a year? Otherwise, the best advice anyone gave me was to just complete the general education...

  4. What's up with veteran nurses hating on new grads?

    Woodenpug replied to jennilynn's topic in General Nursing

    Many, over 2K posts have been written on this subject. felineRN says it well in her post in this thread: https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/nurses-eating-their-592725.html For a very...

    [h=3]Luke 12:27-40[/h]King James Version (KJV) 27Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of...

  6. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    Woodenpug replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Cool. Now how can I get so lucky? I thought, that simply having the skill was enough. Now I see that if I had a union, well skill is not so important. how can I get that job with better pay, less...

  7. Necrotic tissue odor and isolation

    Woodenpug replied to Kashia's topic in Oncology

    Coffee grounds (not used) seem to help. We also sometimes use vanilla extract. Both in large quantities. Never tried both at once, but if the problem is big enough the combination could

  8. Is being an LPN REALLY that bad?

    Woodenpug replied to peppapig123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The commitment is not that much more for a better pay-off. Hazellpn is right. Unless this thread is just another one where I wish I could find the dead horse

  9. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    Woodenpug replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I have only had negative experiences with unions. The three different union hospitals where I worked were the worst three hospitals in my career. This is the first time I've read a union thread...

  10. So tell me.. What's New?

    Woodenpug replied to bratmobile's topic in General Nursing

    Seems that about the time pixis was new the IVAC's were also new. They came close together. Nursing seems to have a stronger voice now. (In most places.) LVN / LPN are not seen much in acute...

  11. criminal background

    Woodenpug replied to rap0713's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I've seen that the schools may be more harsh. But in Michigan the board says, submit fees and we'll let you know. Here's the link:...

  12. How do I get on the path of working as an RN in a different country. I was born in US

    Woodenpug replied to cluv2nurse's topic in International Nursing

    In the past I considered the peace corp. Some fellowships are available for nurses. Try browsing the site: http://www.peacecorps.gov/, see if you find anything interesting. The other, probably...

  13. Personality Typing...

    Woodenpug replied to Purple93's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not a big fan of the Myers-Briggs personality type either. But an INTJ should do fine in nursing. Here is a thread by an INTJ Nurse with several posts by inTj types:...

  14. Mandated Flu vaccine?

    Woodenpug replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    On an old style Nursing Passive-Aggressive note: Enforcing the Mask wearing policy would be very difficult. Another thought, is administration required to get a flu shot? At my hospital the mask...

  15. Soft tissue research question

    Woodenpug replied to Hortonjj's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for starting this thread. I would have never known about this. But, simply put, it appears to be yet another "snake oil" treatment. Still, I want to stay subscribed to this thread. It...

  16. First Night Shift

    Woodenpug replied to Callisonanne's topic in General Nursing

    My prayers are with you. You don't need them, but every little bit

  17. New Grad-Hate my Job

    Woodenpug replied to ajb96278's topic in General Nursing

    The job sounds ideal to me. That same doc, most likely, would respect autonomy from nursing......as long as you make the right decision for the patient he'll likely have your back. I think that's...

  18. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

    Woodenpug replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, all this about mandatory flu vaccinations. What about PPD? Even those who have taken the BCG are required to show a positive test. Then, once a positive test is documented.... every three to...

  19. How do you handle this?

    Woodenpug replied to motownrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Old story. Has happened since Adam. What is important is the patient. Take care of your patient. It's a bunch of "cover your ass." The truth is admin. puts the M.D.'s in the same situation. I...

  20. Do you constantly worry?

    Woodenpug replied to peppapig123's topic in General Nursing

    I don't worry about losing my license. I worry about hurting someone. All the time(24/7), I've been doing nursing for a long time. It has not happened (as far as I know), but I can think of nothing...

  21. Disturbing POA's

    Woodenpug replied to MommaRN86's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thank you, Momma. I have cared for so many patients who, in a nursing concept of health, would have been healthier had they stayed in long term care. Before your post, I failed to look at it from the...

  22. PLEASE help me work through this issue...

    Woodenpug replied to NannyG16's topic in General Nursing

    I would guess that if you are not a member until you have 30 days on the job, then you do not have union obligations until you have 30 days on the job. You can tell your present employer that you...

  23. Is this really the norm?

    Woodenpug replied to WittySarcasm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'll make the arrogant/naive/ignorant presumption that you sincerely wish to address this issue. I don't deal with "residents" that's an issue for landlords. When I encounter an abusive patient I...

  24. Give me the numbers regarding "Nursing Shortage"

    Woodenpug replied to kalevra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The BLS site has some pretty specific data. It's just hard to locate. http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes291111.htm

  25. Question: BVNPT Meaning & Declaratory Statement

    Woodenpug replied to ColdChief's topic in General Nursing
