LOL 1 set=2 people. I realized I didn’t word that too clearly

Was it a HIPAA violation? Was she harassing a patient or another coworker? If none of the above applied then mind your own business. There’s a lot of ignorant nasty people that I don’t like but unless they directly effect me or my job I don’t care. T...

In my district we have 2 conjoined twins at a local nursing home. They are awesome, and have great stories to tell. We have 10 pages of separate protocols just for them. When I first heard about it I thought “OMG I have so many questions right now”

“Is the coronavirus crashing anyone else’s computer? My laptop is running really slow the past couple days” Actual facebook post from a friend of mine who I love dearly but lord, she just needs to stop talking sometimes I do love me an ice cold coro...

I totally agree, it was the way he worded it and I definitely didn’t take it literally. However, I think it’s hilarious and enjoy making fun of it ?‍♀️

Check it out!

You are absolutely not a coward and don’t let anyone make you feel that way. I’m glad you have a good team, but at the end of the day no one else is gonna look out for you. You are not benefiting your team if you end up sick and taking up another ven...

In general AHA allows the test to be open book, but it's also discretion of the facility/instructor. Our ACLS and PALS were not open book. The pretest is very helpful and I found it extremely similar to the actual written test. The book is not very d...

OK first off, forget your legal liability for a second. You mean to tell me this woman has left patients in the cold and rubbed muscle cream on someone's genitals and you've done NOTHING? Not only should she not be a nurse, she shouldn't be allowed ...

I'll have to get back to you on that at work tomorrow! I think it is still a viable resource, just not as reliable in a pre term newborn. I'm just a lowly street medic, I've never been on a MICU transport unit. I'm interested to see the response.

That's a good question. According to some studies, it seems like it's particularly difficult with sick neonates to measure ETCO2 due to the rapid respiratory rate. This article discusses pros and cons: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/ee1b/681dbcd06e...

Sorry, the previous comment was not directed at you. It was directed at a different poster who I guess had their comment removed.

Wow, really? I'm not advocating what she did, but she came asking for help and admitting she messed up. I don't see any reason to rub that in her face or make her feel worse. I understand that actions have consequences, and she should certainly be he...

My heart goes out to the student. I about cried when I listened to that girl talking about how they took this opportunity away from her. This is a garbage school that took advantage of unsuspecting people. Hopefully there's a light at the end of the ...

Hi everyone, I may be posting this in the wrong forum, so I apologize in advance. I am taking Adderall as prescribed by my doctor 10mg bid and I have a lot of worries and anxiety over this. For starters, I have suffered from ADHD my entire life (26...

Tex, I apologize if my post isn't clear. Let me clarify: I am on meds (Adderall) and I AM able to focus with this medication. The dose I'm on is working fine, so no, a dose increase is not necessary. I've been on this for about a month and this is t...

That is insane. I'm baffled as to why someone would do that all of a sudden out of nowhere. I'm sure there is a lot to this story to come. I just feel so bad for the poor students and teachers. I couldn't imagine going through what they are!

Thank you for writing this. I spent 3 years married to a very violent, abusive man. It was by the skin of my teeth and the grace of God I made it out. The list of things he did was endless. When pregnant with my daughter, I was in and out of the hosp...

Wow, that's kind of rude. Everyone else expressed their opinion, she can't? You have the option to keep scrolling if it aggravates you.

I'm a CNA and future RN as well. I'll graduate nursing school in '17 (so excited) and have worked LTC a lot. When it comes to nurses I have the same philosophy as anyone else I work for: you respect me, I'll respect you. I'm always willing to help an...

I understand what you are saying, but I don't think education has anything to do with it. Respect for the individual (and for authority) is something you should have been taught by the time your five. Maybe the problem is that they are forced into i...

I understand and can relate to your pain. I'm in nursing school right now and nobody understands how hard coping with ADD is. I've struggled with it my whole life and never got help as a kid, because I just "wasn't trying" or not "applying myself" an...

Xerox is one company that offers it, but there's a ton of companies out there.

There's some "work-from-home" call centers that you can work for entirely at home, just as long as you have the equipment. And it's not area specific either. I used to do it before nursing school.
