  1. CPR online?

    Woodenpug replied to epijunky's topic in General Nursing

    So we agree. Evidence from over thirty years ago showed that CAB is correct. What happened in the intervening period? That was an example of how cpr courses fall short of the evidence. Curious...

  2. Outraged by no more privacy

    Woodenpug replied to inquiringaide's topic in General Nursing

    I see a different point. We law abiding citizens are required to give up fingerprints, submit to drug screenings and background checks. Just to be safe, while criminals have no such requirements. It...

  3. Why Nurses Book Off Work

    Woodenpug replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Naw, not off thread. The point is that a memo to an md would include his title, I seriously doubt you would forget. I agree titles are not very important. The respect shown in including some...

  4. CPR online?

    Woodenpug replied to epijunky's topic in General Nursing

    Not that you are really interested in an answer, but evidence, even as long ago as when I was a boy scout and 12 years old, showed that the correct order was circulation, airway, breathing. that's a...

  5. CPR online?

    Woodenpug replied to epijunky's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that was back in the day. My first "official" cpr course was the last year a strip was required. "Official" because at the time ARC believed that CPR was too complex for anyone under 16. They...

  6. Why Nurses Book Off Work

    Woodenpug replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    It's not that. The idea is that you feel that your titles are more important, or why would you not include mine? claiming that it was just a half witted decision, like signing rn for a check is...

  7. Decisions

    Woodenpug replied to diprifan's topic in General Nursing

    Is it any more clear, now that you have written it out? I've noticed that nephrologists and cardiolgists have different opinions about how best to treat a patient. I would think that working on a...

  8. Why Nurses Book Off Work

    Woodenpug replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    The error was in this small phrase "and in many cases by their own unions (if applicable)." If you read between the lines of the TOS you would know "Thou mayest not make any statement which implieth...

  9. Why Nurses Book Off Work

    Woodenpug replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    To paraphrase: Does nursing absenteeism correlate to a lack of respect for nurses. This article Nursing Credentials Not Respected claims that one sign of disrespect for nurses is not including our...

  10. Please enlighten me;is the cna allowed to insert urinary catherer in any state?

    Woodenpug replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Just a technical point. If the state sets the requirements to obtain and maintain a privilege, it's a license. (eg. driver's license.) If a non-government entity grants some privilege, it's a...

  11. Name Tags

    Woodenpug replied to WSU_Ally_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Let's see. I apologized for my rant, in that very post. Sorry, that I struck a nerve with you, similar to the one your post struck with me. Professional and "cute is encouraged?" Guess, my nerves...

    Let's be cute! OMG, i'd die fer somtin cute. Yeah, Nurses are a professional group of people. Prolly, IDK, ur patients would prefer that u no sumtin bout where they cumin from. Ya no, like disease...

  13. JCAHO, gloves and oral meds

    Woodenpug replied to nurseinprogress2010's topic in General Nursing

    O.K., I wash my hands before reaching into the glove box. I'm sure my co-workers do the same. Is my gloved hand any more clean than my washed hands? The thought of touching p.o. meds is so nasty,...

  14. Nursing Diagnoses-RN

    Woodenpug replied to dking2010's topic in General Nursing

    Would outcomes of patients be worse if nursing diagnoses were eliminated from nursing practice? No free text area for this question.

  15. Please enlighten me;is the cna allowed to insert urinary catherer in any state?

    Woodenpug replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    A patient and/or family member can be taught to safely preform ICP. It is reasonable that a HHA or CNA can also be taught to safely preform this task. Unless the state board specifically excludes...

  16. JCAHO, gloves and oral meds

    The above post says it

  17. Need to write a personal statement for grad school.

    Woodenpug replied to dani9206's topic in General Nursing

    The post turned out to be commercial. It had a good article when I visited it at the time of posting. Bad post, My

  18. Report giving dread.

    Woodenpug replied to NocturneNrse's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed this form of lateral violence at my job. I also note that it is the nurses with questionable skills. I'm not talking about good questions, that I should have addressed but missed....

    Woodenpug replied to comnursesall's topic in General Nursing

    Context seems to help me when I see something strange written in the hand-off report. Here are my guesses MO degeneration - Macular optical degeneration. duodenal operative adhesions. Not the best...

  21. Which Nursing Jobs are the Least Stressful?

    Woodenpug replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Nursing Career

    Or cared for a critically ill ante-partum patient? With a shorter career, I've seen patients who technically belonged on a different unit, on my

  22. No wonder we are getting nursing students who are only in it for $

    Woodenpug replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess, I should ask you, how much would you make with a degree in architecture? Or consider that the skills needed to achieve acceptance to an RN program, would easily have earned you a degree in...

  23. No wonder we are getting nursing students who are only in it for $

    Woodenpug replied to JDougRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm reading this differently. Isn't it about public image. Sincerely, for what we do and the qualities/ skills needed, we are underpaid. Just like everyone else in health care. I think, someone...

  24. A & P question

    Woodenpug replied to CAT-CNA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll re-state the obvious. Physiology is needed to understand pathophysiology. I remember A & P. We did seem to focus on a lot of things that would more useful in forensics. We also skipped...
