  1. Why is it... (nurses constantly throw jabs at physicans)

    katscan replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    How one reads a post and interprets it is individual. To me, she was not insulting or presumptious. Naive maybe? Inexperienced? Therefor, I don't say that I answered in a "cut and dry " fashion....

  2. Why is it... (nurses constantly throw jabs at physicans)

    katscan replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    I just read this whole thread and am saddened at the pokes and jabs directed to the original poster when she(I am using she for convenience) was only asking a question /expressing her opinion. From...

  3. Need opinions from school nurse on student hygiene issues

    katscan replied to ELC's topic in School

    With my junior high, I gather the student(s) that need instruction and some who don't and have a "mini class" on hygiene during which I go over the needed info. The students are then asked to judge...

  4. transgender nurse (transvestite)

    katscan replied to nursecathy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Personally, I don't care what the nurse looks like-or "is" as long as the person is competent when they care for me-or any patient. This student doesn't THINK with that male appendage-which will...

  5. Help ! Interview ???

    katscan replied to Nursinrox's topic in School

    I'm 52 and have been told by students and administrators during my 21 year career that I relate to kids very well. I have k-12 experience. And I would love to implement more wellness programs. Obesity...

  6. Survey: Do you leave work at your scheduled time on a regular basis?

    katscan replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a school nurse on salary. I am expected to stay after if a meeting on a student is called, but otherwise I work 7 hrs per day and have 1/2 hr for lunch. It's lunch I don't always get. I am on...

  7. Newsweek letter to editor

    katscan replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    After a long hard day, I sat down last eve with the latest Newsweek. I did not need to read that letter from that resident. To make such sweeping statements, and lump all nurses together...His...

  8. If Bill Gates gave you a grant for several billion dollars and said design a hospital

    katscan replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    The way you asked the question, it sounds like you are researching the topic. Are you working on a Master's thesis? Just

  9. Sent home from Clinical

    katscan replied to JuicyJem's topic in General Nursing

    This is amazing! And management require nurses to work double shifts! What about them?? No talk about patient safety there-only insubordination if you don't. I sincerly doubt that you would have...

  10. HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP,HELP--student nurse in distress

    katscan replied to prairiegirl's topic in Nursing Career

    Nursing is not all about dealing with the "yuckies". besides, everyone is different. And the incident passes. You may feel queasy until the task is finished, but then you move on to different things....

  12. Grumpy Secretary--what would you do?

    katscan replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    Rotten Nurse-that was a mean and totally untrue statement! Unit clerks are part of the team too-they accomplish alot. How would you like to be "minimized " like that. Andre, I respect what you do,...

  13. I Hate You, Heart Attack.....

    katscan replied to mother/babyRN's topic in General Nursing

    katscan replied to mother/babyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You paint the most beautiful pictures with words, even sad ones.The depth of your feeling is something one can't manufacture unless you have felt that way. You have a gift-a great one. Please continue...

    katscan replied to mother/babyRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  16. Are You Helping or Hurting?

    katscan replied to ainz's topic in General Nursing

    SmilingBluEyes said it best when she asks you to tell us the "hows" of communication so that we can be heard and the "what" to say so that it is effective. The same stuff keeps getting bantered around...

  17. Thanks

    katscan replied to Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! That was like a shot in the arm!

  18. Changed my mind

    katscan replied to Jamiers's topic in General Nursing

    Jamiers, why do you say things like "a person like yourself" etc and then to then say "foolish people point out foolish things" to Nooney. That again was hurtful. Her post was insightful. I feel you'd...

    No Jamiers, I did not see your post-I read some and came back to this . My mistake. SORRY-Then you are not young and inexperienced. I stand corrected, but I think your response was overly harsh and...

  21. A long lost "Nurse" poem from long ago....

    katscan replied to mother/babyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I think it is very worthy. How many nurses bother to put -or have time to put-their feelings in writing. This would make a nice addition to our otherwise "dry" journals. Do

  22. Last poem for today...Honest

    katscan replied to mother/babyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You paint a very poetic picture of a major loss. The mind picture of the beach and the ocean after the "busy season" as day goes into night is very effective-I felt your aloneness......and...

  23. Changed my mind

    katscan replied to Jamiers's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry Jaimers, but you sound young and inexperienced. If you took a job ANYWHERE you will hear complaints about the co-workers, conditions, pay, etc etc etc. This goes on in business, technology,...

  24. Reasons that I'm glad I'm a Nurse

    katscan replied to Noney's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad I am a school nurse because it is my chance to have an impact on the young lives I encounter. There is no better feeling than seeing a student you had in the clinic years ago and having her...
