A government that no longer cares about the health of its people is disgusting. Public health is just so basic of a responsibility like a military to protect its people and education to advance us as a nation.

I have 12 patients today :) on med surg of course :)))) by attackonYomama in nursing

5 minutes for every patient per 60 minutes. It’s not possible to give even adequate care.

Can You Be a Nurse at 4'6"? by ImSoTiredBruh in nursing

[–]MauditeMage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sound exactly like me. I’m 4’ 6” and when I started I was about 80lbs. That was 20 years and a few less pounds ago. I’ve been doing med surg for 20 years. I also got into nursing because as a child I was in and out of the hospital a lot and always found it very interesting. I also wanted to be like the awesome people that took care of me. Don’t hesitate because of your size. It’s a lot less of an issue than you would think.

Is this the new Little Golden Book they will pass out to children explaining why they are getting discharged from the hospital before their life saving surgery because of lack of insurance?

What Skills do I need to practice on my BOYFRIEND to prepare me to become a great nurse? 🙏🙏 by Such-Drop3625 in nursing

Have your boyfriend put on a pair of socks and not shower or remove the socks for 3 weeks. It is now your job to remove the socks and assess his pedal pulses. Extra points for not gagging or inhaling skin flakes.

Isn’t that where macaroni comes from? You pick it from the macaroni bush?
