  1. How do Nurses feel about CMAs?

    Q. replied to CMAMW's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a skeptic. I never would have thought that we would have been eliminated in favor of MAs (in a clinic) but we were. Who knows what's

  2. How do Nurses feel about CMAs?

    Q. replied to CMAMW's topic in General Nursing

    Currently, I have a negative opinion of MAs, only because I have seen them intentionally mislead patients into believing they are a nurse, and, because my former employer just eliminated all the RNs...

  3. Depressed and beginning to hate my job

    Q. replied to KaroSnowQueen's topic in General Nursing

    If the physicians are so important, then I guess we can all go home and they can provide 24/7 nursing

  4. Nursing Refresher Programs in Ohio

    Q. replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, Renee, sounds like things are falling into place for you. Good

  5. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

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

    Bawh! Now isn't that funny; I detest Martha Rogers' theory but I was fascinated by Stephen Hawking (I think that's who you meant). Kind of a double-standard on my part, I

  6. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Peeps: glad you looked at CINAHL. Since you seem to be into critical care, try looking at research articles from Heart and Lung. In fact, a nurse I know published several articles in there; her...

  7. Can Someone Be a Nurse Without Jean Watson??

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

    Who resurrected this thread?! Ohhhh. Hmmm. I think that's a somewhat slippery opinion to hold. A lot of studies have shown that people are NOT the same and require different treatments based on...

  8. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Roland, I really think you are making way too broad of a generalization with regard to theory. Yes, we all know Martha Roger's theory is at the height of what you are referring to as far as "out of...

  9. Is there anything I can do with an ASN degree besides floor nursing?

    Q. replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know too much about what ADN nurses can do (opportunity wise) but I will tell you that the supervisor in charge of ALL clinical trials at a major regional medical center and medical college is...

  10. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Roland (and Peeps for that matter) Not all the theories that are "fluff" are nursing theories per se. A lot are borrowed concepts from other disciplines, so it's not just nursing that is guilty of...

  11. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Peeps, if you haven't already, go back a few pages on this thread and read the link I provided (Nursing Theory Humbug). Another poster a couple of threads ago gave me this link and it is very...

  12. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    If I may be presumptious, it almost sounds as if Peeps is fearful of not being prepared to function in a medical environment, and to that he may have a point. I guess it would be nice if his concerns...

  13. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Peeps, You sound so...discouraged with nursing, and it seems almost like something that can't be fixed. I agree that it would seem somewhat "easier" per se to use COPD instead of "insuffcient...

  14. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Swanson's caring in perinatal nursing is completely psychologically based. As I've stated, Resolve Through Sharing is a way of implementing it. Also Peeps, the patients WashYaHands described will,...

  15. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Since the discussion seemed to have moved toward the nursing process in particular, I'd like to comment, seeing as I just wrote a paper on that very theory. As I've stated, and Kevin stated, nursing...

  16. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Wow Adrie - good post, and I agree! I myself have been disenchanted with the theories that are OUT there, but alot of them were written for the times, and yes, most of them revolutionized nursing....

  17. Can I read my own chart?

    Q. replied to shavsha's topic in General Nursing

    I'm actually not sure this is entirely accurate. I remember learning somewhere, whether it was a legal conference or from my insurance days, I can't remember, but the chart is actually the...

  18. Can I read my own chart?

    Q. replied to shavsha's topic in General Nursing

    You are entitled to read your chart. You may have to go through whatever channels they have in their organization, but you WILL get a copy of it. I'm not sure how it would be handled on an inpatient...

  19. How are you supposed to answer the phone?

    Q. replied to MRed94's topic in General Nursing

    HA! That's what I do. By the way, what happens if you DON'T answer the phone that way? And what if it's not a beautiful day? What if someone's granny died and they are calling you for medical...

  20. NURSING SCHOOL: Your Biggest Challenge!

    Q. replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think mine was microbiology, a 16 week course crammed into a 6 week summer session. I got a C. I originally thought I would like Peds, but I remember upon seeing a simple video of a 3 year old...

  21. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Peeps, in one sense I disagree because, if you ask any nurse, she/he will tell you that they do indeed act as psychologists, social workers, nutritionists, RTs, etc. But I also agree that nurses are...

  22. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    Not to pick on you Peeps, but do you honestly think that what you are being taught in your curriculum is NOT theory-based? Think again. When you understand that a patient is scared, and you are able...

  23. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    As I've tried to suggest earlier, nursing theories aren't utilized in practice, at least consciously. Everything a nurse does, from caring about his/her patient to empathizing with them, are stemmed...

  25. Nursing Theory???

    Q. replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    I never said nursing theory was science. The poster asked what IS nursing "science", other than the obvious science courses like chem, bio, etc. The nursing process is considered nursing science....
