    As a Nurse, is it normal to be pushed around doing different jobs at the place you work?

    Wuzzie replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Not a school nurse so ignore me if that makes a difference but I did want to offer some words of encouragement. I work in an oncology clinic with over 70 staff members who are literally on top of one...

    Fact or Fiction? Masking and CO2 Dangers

    Wuzzie replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Also, this post was intended to discuss the "dangers" of wearing a mask. There are many other threads discussing people's opinion about their efficacy in fighting

    Small ER no RT after 9pm

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse-please's topic in Emergency

    I'd work in one of these hospitals in a heartbeat. You will gain tremendous experience. With proper education you'll be fine with intubations and short-term routine vent management (I assume these...

    Wuzzie replied to justjRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but you would not believe how many times I got asked what side the IV was on. Ostensibly it was so they could have the "pump on the right side of the bed" but, come on, the poles have wheels!

    Wuzzie replied to Maryslamb77's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I believe you were the one who resurrected this and I was simply responding but whatever. Like I said I don't see any purpose in continuing this. Good luck in your future

    Again, because you are in the world of finance you do not understand how things work in the world of medicine. The suboxone complicates things. The history of drug abuse complicates things. The over...

    Here's my opinion...take it for what it's worth: 1. A BSN is a very valuable degree in the sense of job flexibility. With it your soon-to-be wife can freely change position or even move if need be to...
