  1. Fibro and Nursing

    Garden,RN replied to DdRN1287's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have had it since before it had a name, I think my mom did too. It has not been easy. I also have trigeminal neuralgia. I have gone to several doctors but with all the healthcare changes it has been...

  2. A DUI is a BIG Deal.

    Garden,RN replied to Tigerfly82's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Get counseling and deal with the underlying issue. That will benefit you all

  3. A DUI is a BIG Deal.

    Garden,RN replied to Tigerfly82's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It is a big deal but if you did it on your own time, I prefer they have less power. If we exclude all the imperfect nurses, well need I

  4. Nurse in a bar... Should you help?

    Garden,RN replied to crc2015's topic in General Students

    I think we should and being legally obligated would be fine with me. It just comes natural to me, an emergency you respond you're a nurse, why not? I could not ignore or let someone

  5. Have you ever saved someone/medically assisted someone away from work?

    Thank

  6. Have you ever saved someone/medically assisted someone away from work?

    Garden,RN replied to briannaflavin's topic in General Nursing

    You punched her? Is this a term for something I don't

  7. Fox News says patients waiting to see a doctor will have to "settle for a nurse instead"

    Garden,RN replied to FrancineRNfrannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Actually I did but didn't take it to seriously. I watch all of them and others plus online and in two languages. First of all I doubt that not watching any news is better than watching one with very...

  8. Age Discrimination in Nursing

    Garden,RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    The topic is great but it really doesn't say anything most of us don't already know. One of the reasons the older nurse is discriminated against is the pay because of the years of experience. It is...

  9. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    None whatsoever, I just do not think we should ever forget that our skills are the most important because we may never know what situation may come our way, such as hurricane Katrina. The other thing...

  10. Fox News says patients waiting to see a doctor will have to "settle for a nurse instead"

    Garden,RN replied to FrancineRNfrannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you have any references for the information you just stated about people who agree with

  11. Fox News says patients waiting to see a doctor will have to "settle for a nurse instead"

    Garden,RN replied to FrancineRNfrannie's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I fully support APN's but I would much rather see an MD for my care. I say this as someone who has struggled with chronic illness for most of my life. Since I have multiple and sometimes complex...

  12. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everything except in the last line. I just want you to consider that there are clinicians in parts of the world that have nothing but their clinical assessments. As a patient, I like my...

  13. Stupid things that nurses say

    Garden,RN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Me

  14. I'm quitting today! Finally had enough!

    Garden,RN replied to SoontoBNP's topic in General Nursing

    I went into nursing after having worked for 10 years at other types of work. I was horrified at the working conditions. Those around me have thought I was a prima-dona. I never told them I had chronic...

  15. Knock knock. Who's there? HIPAA. HIPAA who?

    Garden,RN replied to Joe V's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I dislike HIPAA, while there are good parts to it. It was much nicer when we were just trusted to act ethically and morally and I still look for that with my providers of health care. As a patient, I...

  16. Have you ever met someone who regretted getting their NP?

    Garden,RN replied to Cola89's topic in Advanced Practice

    Can I ask why? I would have rather been an MD than a nurse. I deeply resented the countless hours spent on nursing care plans and then the limitations and the repressive environment and culture of...

  17. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    I notice that clinicians trained in poorer countries have way superior assessment skills than those trained with all the technology. What happens when there is no

  18. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    Thank

  19. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, often nurses that work in hospitals fail to realize that many things happen outside the hospital without the benefit of

  20. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes, the monitors give us information, we have to discern that information, that is why we are licensed. If not any teenager could sit there with an app or

  21. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    Great

  22. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    Your answer was great until you made the mileage

  23. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    Don't regret it, don't ever shut up. I totally did not agree with you on the premise, but don't regret

  24. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the need to treat the patient and think she needs to learn much, but I disagree that she should not ask question because it is too soon. She has every right to question everything, after...

  25. Treat the Patient, not the Monitor.....Really?

    Garden,RN replied to jk2185's topic in General Nursing

    First of all as nurses we are expected to use our common sense. So if the patient's O2 sats are 32 and the patient is aaox3, in no acute respiratory distress and pink, then guess which one is the...
