    Did CPR for the first time today.

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Amethya's topic in School

    The standard for layperson CPR is compressions only, no matter what. Am I the only one who finds it amazing there was no transport/ follow

    Forced to do 12 hr shifts

    MrNurse(x2) replied to pensivern's topic in General Nursing

    You may want to consider subacute rehab or LTC. Eight hour shifts are the norm there, and work load is different than acute care. Made the change after 30 years and I doubt I will ever go

    Why all the drama with nursing?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to dogmom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Most people don't quit a job, they quit the management. I know that's what I did after 28

    Tips for New Grad offered ICU position

    MrNurse(x2) replied to gmsal971's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There must be a few employers out there that have a long sighted view, but under three different managements, as well as friends at other hospitals in the area, most are short sighted and do short the...

    Am I overreacting?!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School

    It would be a deal breaker if I always had to be in a closed room with a student. One accusation ruins my whole life. The world today, you just need to accuse, doesn't even need to be in the realm of...

    Depressed and Disappointed in Myself

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Samx3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I haven't read through all these responses, so this may have been said. The new approach to nursing education has failed you. Every employer is looking for BSN, but none of these employers want to...

    Tips for New Grad offered ICU position

    MrNurse(x2) replied to gmsal971's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Probably would have told you to go for it twenty years ago, but... given the new relationship employers have with new grads, I would encourage you to put this great opportunity on hold. This is a...

    My wife and I live your scenario every week. We both work nights and have a shared day job. We will sleep 2-4 hours on our transition and be able to sleep that

    Parent off the hook

    MrNurse(x2) replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I didn't want it too long, but one of her demands was to remove her daughter if there is another student that vomits in class and call mom to take her home. My Principal told me it would be unexcused...

    Parent off the hook

    MrNurse(x2) replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    I don't think this family would ever do that, they are pretty common. I have researched it, before hearing it from this family. They claim they are college material by 18, I just can't see how it...

    Parent off the hook

    MrNurse(x2) replied to MrNurse(x2)'s topic in School

    The beauty of private school, we won't be accepting her. Not the first run in with this mother. Hope her children will be employable after this, she is doing hands off home schooling. It is a model...

    School Shootings

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    It's about urgency. Politics is ALWAYS the least effective and slowest response. Countries that have full gun bans still have shootings. We need a defense for the short

    EMS talking down to Nurse

    My wife, who works subacute rehab, once told a repeat offender paramedic that she can call the doctor to let him know that the paramedic was refusing transport. Shut him up

    High School Shooter Copy Cats?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to guest83140's topic in School

    There are parents who don't trust the schools to protect their kids. They would rather have their kids alive and expelled than dead. I don't agree, but understand the

    Nursing Shortage!! It's real and it bites (new grads, can't find a job? Read this post!)

    MrNurse(x2) replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    When I started in 1989 (real nursing shortage), agency nurses were on our schedule. This was before contracts. The hospital was paying $1.5 million to staff these nurses. They were given a date, told...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! Evidence based research shows that people have an agenda. I was pulled to Cardiac Surgery recovery unit. There was a post op going through the ROOF. He was being hit with Haldol. The nurse...

    Education and end-of-life care

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Nursing

    No offense, but 40 years ago, nursing programs taught the what much more than the why. Even BSN programs. The theory put to application is where new grads are having issue, I saw it every day on the...
