Do you bag your bodies naked?

I had a death the other night, and found out that our new policy to save $ on linens is to bag the bodies naked. I flat out refused.

I know she was dead, so it shouldn't really matter whether she had a gown on or not, but it just seemed indecent to me.

What do you do to destress?

I only work part time nights and trust me in that work environment and with only 2 CNAs (who are the best in my opinion) and just me for 50 patients, some who belong in a psych ward... I have to destress. How do you de stress?

How to explain how hard you have to work in nursing school

How can you convince your family, friends, significant others how much time and effort you have to spend to get through nursing school? How can you get them to give their support and make them understand why you can't always be available to them? What can you say? What can you show them? How can you convince them you are not just whining? Is there something your school could do or is doing to help?

Daughter vs. NURSE: Moral Courage

A loving story of a Mother, receiving TERMINAL CANCER diagnosis that places the Daughter/ Nurse in a heart-wrenching position. And the unusual way that decision was made, allowing for the enjoyment of LIFE, and a peaceful transition.

It's RN, not MD.

As a student nurse I have been quite bipolar. Going through phases of loving nursing and phases of hating nursing. I have come to understand that this is a basic part of nursing. One will have times of euphoria and one will have times leaning towards wanting to kill oneself.

High Hepatitis B Immunity in U.S. Children, Adolescents

Children and adolescents in the United States have high rates of immunity against hepatitis B virus (HBV), although adults have much lower rates, according to a study published in the March 1 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Is it okay to ask for a Job Interview?

I applied for a few jobs, and one place I applied for my friend just got hired in there. So my friend tells me to call the facility and ask for the director of nursing, and tell the DON, "I'm a new nurse and I filled out an application already and if it's possibly the I can have an interview for the position?" Is this okay to do?
