  1. Women in the operating room...

    SFCardiacRN replied to axiology's topic in Operating Room

    Not all hospitals have separate changing rooms. Some have all the lockers on one area with a few curtain hung cubicles for

  2. Need an experienced opinion please!

    SFCardiacRN replied to HelloKittyRN's topic in General Nursing

    He is at the end of life. Perhaps a hospice care thread is in order. I'll pray for you

  3. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see these as a failure of western medicine. Prior to the discovery of insulin, no one lived long enough to experience the debilitating effects of poorly controlled diabetes. Sure, the disease...

  4. hostility in the OR

    SFCardiacRN replied to laughnsmile's topic in Operating Room

    Congratulations on your new job! There are good jobs out there if you keep looking. I had a feeling your manager would screw you on your evaluation. This kind of person is miserable to work for. Good...

  5. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.thepublicinterest.com/archives/2000summer/article1.html I will continue to practice holistic science based nursing and hope that some day you "over educated" nurses will realize the harm...

  6. What nuring specialty is more marketable as a legal nurse consultant?

    SFCardiacRN replied to careerdejour's topic in Legal

    I would think ICU to be the best training model for legal nursing. It is the most complex unit medically speaking. The ICU RN's I know are very knowlegable about drugs, life support equipment,...

  7. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    You just gotta love the logic that anyone with a dissenting view on faith healing is

  8. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I think these techniques benefit the ego of the practitioner more than the patient. What if TT actually disrupts the energy field even more? What if these techniques cause progression of disease? What...

  9. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I mean by smug, not your educational background. I do not see posters saying they don't have time to meet emotional needs, they do not have time to assess energy fields or re-align...

  10. Is it just me?

    SFCardiacRN replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nursing school instructors act strict and hard, and everyone cries, "Nursing Eats Its Young". And it because they are female and dysfunctional. Just typical stereotypical half-truths bandied about...

  11. Is it just me?

    SFCardiacRN replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I was not stationed in a medical unit. Perhaps they are different. I was at a dive command. We did salvage and recovery. There were Navy SEALS and EOD(explosive ordinance disposal) and support crews....

  12. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    Granny, don't mistake our displeasure with esoteric nursing diagnosis' as a reluctance to meet our patient's emotional needs. We can and do treat emotional needs as a matter of course. We use touch...

  13. Advice for new RN's

    SFCardiacRN replied to healer27's topic in General Nursing

    Get into a new grad program right out of school...and thank me

  14. Reason for leaving a job--what to put?

    SFCardiacRN replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have never put a "reason for leaving" on a resume. On applications that request a reason, I always put "left for better position" for previous jobs and "seeking better position" for the last job....

  15. African American Care

    SFCardiacRN replied to CametoitlateTexan's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I have found when dealing with African Americans is that they like being treated like anyone else. In fact, everyone likes being treated like everyone else. I live in a culturally diverse...

  16. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is and should be holistic in nature. Treating a wound and treating the patient are two different things. However, I think we need to be careful when we start diagnosing patients. This is...

  17. Is it just me?

    SFCardiacRN replied to antihippie's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I spent 4 years in the navy and I guarantee NO ONE EVER asked my master chief petty officer "why" a second

  18. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    Is spiritual distress related to religion? If so, is it not better addressed by clergy? Does this mean that agnostic nurses cannot treat these patients? What is in this pseudo-diagnosis that is not...

  19. suctioning

    SFCardiacRN replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    What is the first thing you are going to do if someone sticks a tube in your

  20. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what is meant by "spiritual distress". Ineffective coping makes sense to me as does most of the NANDA diagnosis. I really think we can throw out the esoteric diagnosis' in favor of...

  21. A question for OR nurses

    SFCardiacRN replied to JJFROG's topic in Operating Room

    We do not get intra-op films for central lines...not even for difficult ones. We have also had a death from a swan-ganz catheter puncture. I'm not sure where the puncture occured but I assume it was...

  22. Non-Nursing Managers

    SFCardiacRN replied to JimS's topic in Operating Room

    Our director of surgical services does cater to the surgeons. That is her job. She is never in the OR. I had been employed for over two years before I met her. While she is an RN, she has NO OR...

  23. being an OR nurse

    SFCardiacRN replied to spinyerselfdizy's topic in Operating Room

    I love working in the OR and cannot see myself in another specialty. In the 6 years I have been at my current employer, only one RN has left for another

  24. Nursing diagnosis "altered energy field"

    SFCardiacRN replied to paphgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe in ghosts but my friend does. She also believes people can talk to the dead and channel messages to loved ones. I can't prove they don't exist and she can't prove they do. I really...

  25. QUESTION reguarding Nurses and Endoscopy

    SFCardiacRN replied to pacu_sc's topic in General Nursing

    I have helped "steady" the scope but the surgeon always advanced
