    Thanksforthedonuts replied to nyy2's topic in School

    I did a clinical in school nursing. A kid came in with chapped lips and the RN (she was awesome!) Said she couldn't even put chapstick or vaseline on many of the kids in this school since the parents...

    Why is it "legal" for patient to decline male nurses?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to carti's topic in General Students

    Confused about EpiPen administration in emergency situations outside of the hospital

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to OctoberFoliage's topic in General Nursing

    It would not fall under the Good Samaritan Act if you are a paid employee and they are on your unit. I was advised (we have a similar issue in Washington state regarding epipens and delegation) and...

    Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    My one recommendation for those in the program and soon taking the NCLEX: start off strong. So when you're feet start to get weary you have a little more willing

    Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    Thanksforthedonuts replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    So I still don't get what a PSW is... I originally thought it was something to do with social work and the someone else mentioned "personal support worker"? Which is it? If she has a 1-year...
