  1. Opinions on this article????

    nurs4kids replied to CEN35's topic in General Nursing

    well, wildtime..I'd think those older nurses would be on the forefront of some movement to improve nursing. The older nurses I work with have the "well, it ain't as bad as it used to be..I can...

  2. Opinions on this article????

    nurs4kids replied to CEN35's topic in General Nursing

    kday, I couldn't agree more with you or your motive. Maybe if more us who are "trouble makers" and outspoken will start moving and worrying about self, then the meek, buttkissers will drown in...

  3. How do you deal with lazy co-workers?

    nurs4kids replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    LOL..I love the "cranio rectal inversion"!! I agree with canoehead. Ever notice these are the same nurses that patients just dearly adore? The same nurses that the nurse on the following shift...

  5. Opinions on this article????

    nurs4kids replied to CEN35's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I think it's a chavenistic's attempt to place blame. I keep seeing men blame women for the nursing shortage. I won't deny that there may be some validity to a portion of this rationale. BUT...

  6. Infant abduction

    nurs4kids replied to merliza's topic in Pediatric

    We have it at Children's Hospital of Alabama, where I work. Click on the link below.chsys.org If you need the specifics of the policy, I can probably paste it from our intranet. Email me if you...

  7. How do you deal with lazy co-workers?

    nurs4kids replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    Nursz, I feel your pain and apologize. I imagine it does get old, eh? You can rest with ease. I refuse to destroy someone's thread again with childish poking. I saw it last night and refused to...

  8. Peds Nursing Vs. Child Life Career

    nurs4kids replied to lilamint's topic in Pediatric

    Lila, I have thought a few times I would have liked to be a child life specialist. In our hospital, the cls sees the child for about an hour/day tops. They are a very vital part of the child's...

  9. How do you deal with lazy co-workers?

    nurs4kids replied to RNforLongTime's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it that management always thinks these slackers are very good time managers? Then the nurse that offers help to everyone and is staying ot to chart is "riding the clock". I agree with...

  10. Do you/ did you have a Nurses Cap? Pin?

    nurs4kids replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Had both. Was mandatory for us to wear the caps in nursing school..this was only 6 yrs ago. I literally burned it the day I finished my last clinical. I hated every second I had to wear that hat....

  11. A death at Boston 's Children's reverberates

    nurs4kids replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is very sad and scary. Rarely do we admit a shunt malfunction that late at night that doesn't wait until the am for surgery. The neurosurgeon's do typically check their pressure in the ER and...

  12. Expiration dates of sterile medical supplies.

    nurs4kids replied to huckfinn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I was a sup in Central Dist years ago, and unless it's changed in the past few years, it's the last day of the

  13. opinions on chest pains

    nurs4kids replied to Robin61970's topic in General Students

    Since I'm pediatric and totally cardiac ignorant, I can add very little here, but in reading I was very impressed with two things.. Rick! Whoa dude, your knowledge and assessment have totally turned...

    nurs4kids replied to Robin61970's topic in General Students

    This was a duplicate of the next post. For some reason, it isn't allowing me to delete my own post? Oh

  15. Closed nursing unit

    nurs4kids replied to Lise's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Our politically correct term is "self contained". We've been a closed unit for about a year now, and I love it. We are the only unit in the hospital that is closed and we have a much lower turn-over...

  16. J-tube use? Clueless!!

    nurs4kids replied to scootermcnutt's topic in General Nursing

    Are we so different from everyone else? For G-Tubes, we do not routinely check residuals. About the only time we check residuals is PRIOR to beginning feeds for the first time after the tube has...

  17. Alabama Nclex?

    nurs4kids replied to niknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Niki, don't sweat it too bad. I know nurses who passed after taking 265 (remember it could be that 265th question that determines puts you over the hump). As for a # to call, I don't know of...

  18. July 1st. New Resident Doc's !!!

    nurs4kids replied to imaRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    Only ONCE a year???!!! We get new residents at LEAST every three months, usually every two months. I savor the thought of only having to "break them in" once a year. As night shift, we have the...

    nurs4kids replied to Bessie's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely love it! My coworkers are wonderful and the patients are awesome. Like anything, there's a few bad points to nursing...but like anything in life, you take the good with the

  21. Confidentiality

    nurs4kids replied to mindil's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This one confuses me, Jenny. We work a 20 unit med surg with 4-5 RN's. Pretty much we work as a team. We listen to report on all 20pts. When a patient codes, we all respond and need to be utd on...

  22. ANA discriminates against LPN/LVN

    nurs4kids replied to Kris10lnC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think perhaps this BSN superiority thing is more a facility thing than a BSN vs ASN vs LPN thing. My facility treat all RN's the same, there is like a 25 cent differential in pay from ASN to BSN....

  24. ANA discriminates against LPN/LVN

    nurs4kids replied to Kris10lnC's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Now they want us to join the UAN / ANA or just join the ANA. Could it just be declining revenue which fostered this focus? It is pretty sad to have a national organization which could be possibly...
