  4. reasons for choosing

    LovingLife123 replied to spark1's topic in General Nursing

    I would think would one would at least have to have some type of interest in medicine to be a nurse. Nursing doesn't have to be a calling per se, but you need an interest in medicine. Otherwise, you...

  5. OT

    LovingLife123 replied to nonnocere808's topic in General Nursing

    LovingLife123 replied to Kamilah Coney's topic in General Students

    LovingLife123 replied to Pixinator's topic in School

  9. Depressed patient refuses positioning even though she is lying on her own bowel movement

    LovingLife123 replied to MissHannaway's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you need to get attorneys involved? This involves cleaning a patient who is laying in feces and urine. Attorneys will most certainly become involved when skin breakdown and infection...

  10. Depressed patient refuses positioning even though she is lying on her own bowel movement

    LovingLife123 replied to MissHannaway's topic in General Nursing

    The ethical thing is to clean her up and not allow her to lay in feces and urine. She is obviously not in the right state of mind right now. Laying in feces and urine will cause skin breakdown and...

  11. Is Shortage in Nursing really a hoax?

    LovingLife123 replied to mikefilmstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Is that why you are choosing to go to nursing school? You perceive there's a shortage and think it will be easy to get into school and get a job? Yes, nursing school is competitive. It has to be....

  15. Nurses with children always go home early?

    LovingLife123 replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of people are missing points in here. The OP is stating that moms are basically getting special considerations and expecting them because we have families. I don't find that to be...

  16. Nurses with children always go home early?

    LovingLife123 replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    I think you missed my point. My was I can't go home early because I have bills to pay. The OP asserts that all the moms want to leave early to get to our kids. My point is, I never ask to leave...

  17. Nurses with children always go home early?

    LovingLife123 replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    Then talk to your management since you deem this such an injustice to you. You guys should organize ahead of time who talks to who. And if you are giving report to 4 people I find it hard to imagine...

  20. Nurses with children always go home early?

    LovingLife123 replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    We do bedside report as well. It should t matter if it is bedside or not. So, essentially you are talking about 15 minutes here. That's why you get upset? Over 15 minutes? Daycares have strict...

  21. How fast do you run blood?

    LovingLife123 replied to Rexie's topic in General Nursing

    It depends. With traumas sometimes I will squeeze it in quickly or we will use the rapid infused. It depends on how bad the patient needs it. I've used pressure bags too for blood needed quickly....

  22. Nurses with children always go home early?

    LovingLife123 replied to Agatha12's topic in General Nursing

    LovingLife123 replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing
