  1. NON-Patient Care Employment for new R.N.s

    Q. replied to California-O.T.'s topic in Nursing Career

    I agree. There's a difference between research monitors and research coordinators. About half of the coordinators I've worked with are nurses. And you're absolutely right; postings do target their...

  2. Resignation

    Q. replied to robynhood's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with llg. Be respectful in your resignation letter to avoid her being nasty to you and to avoid burning bridges. In my short career, I have found that I run into alot of the same people in...

  3. When to start graduate school?

    Q. replied to dianacs's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post from llg and I agree completely. Orientation is a rough period and I couldn't imagine the demands/stress of a new professional role and grad school. I was a staff nurse for 4 years...

  7. Ever had 2 pts die on you in 1 day?

    Q. replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    Of course she got custody. The weird thing of it all was that these cases (both the 25 y/o and the baby in the toilet) are common, but to take care of both in one shift was just the strangest...

  8. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    Q. replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Wow, begalli I agree with you. :) I am a proponent of organ donation myself, and both my husband and I are donors. And yes, it's a tragedy that more people are not. But this is MY...

  10. Ever had 2 pts die on you in 1 day?

    Q. replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't had two patients die in one night, but I did have an admission of a 25 y/o primip (first time mom) admitted for premature rupture of membranes at 18 weeks. She was brought in from her own...

  11. What does your spouse do?

    Q. replied to vaughanmk's topic in General Nursing

    My husband works at a life insurance company on their Web Infrastructure team. He is responsible for all the infrastructure things that make their web applications

  12. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    Q. replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, in the research I've done on cultural and religious influences in health care, organ donation for Jewish persons seems to rest more on personal choice than the entire religion/culture...

  13. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    Q. replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps. But things are rarely black and white and if the government is making ANY health care decisions, that may just extend into areas we DON'T

  14. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    Q. replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    I think I know what dental school you're referring to. Marquette University? They do awesome

  15. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    Q. replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Really? So would that apply to abortions as

  16. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    Q. replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Then perhaps nutritional counseling is in order. Again, focus should be on primary care and preventative medicine. I was poor, and right, we couldn't always afford FRESH fruits and vegetables,...

  17. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    Q. replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Um, doesn't it? Aren't people responsible for their health? If THEY aren't, then who the hell

  18. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    Q. replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome post. Larry, an outsider's perspective is just that, an outsiders. ALL people in the US, regardless of ability to pay and even regardless of citizenship status, receive care. And someone's...

    *thud* Jeebus, Steph, I thought those were your words for a minute. Holy

  20. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    Q. replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    And by the way, that's a pretty dangerous assumption. There are many cultures and religions that don't believe in organ donation, yet that does not make them immoral. Not everyone believes as you...

  21. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    Q. replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    Oh gosh, you noticed my typo. My deepest apologies. Your statement about debates lose weight when statements like that are made is precisely the message I was trying to deliver. To make a blanket...

  22. Offended by Prayer

    Q. replied to CCU NRS's topic in General Nursing

    Someone a couple posts back asked if the OP would be offended if another religious prayer was said over her. I believe the OP answered she wouldn't be and even talked about Native American prayers,...

  23. 'Moral values' and organ donation

    Q. replied to wannabee's topic in General Nursing

    That is the most erroneous statement I've ever heard. You have absolutely no basis to make such a statment and makes about as much sense as me claiming that Kerry supporters, who are notoriously...
