All Star Nurses!



Recommended Posts

Now, I am still a student nurse, but I know that there's at least one nurse, and I noticed someone else with nurse in their screen name. Fess up- how many of us are nurses? (YAY NURSES!)

Hi Kristy! smile.gif

I graduated last year with my MSN degree. I received my BSN in 1999. Most of my career, I have worked as a Hospice nurse. My MSN focus is in Nursing Informatics. I am currently working as a Business Analyst for our I.T. department. When I am up to speed on the technology piece, I will move into a Nursing Informatics Liaison position between the Clinical staff and the I.T. staff, working collaboratively to get everyone up and running in the electronic medical record (EMR). Keep up the good work! We need more nurses!

Go Sexxy!!! I dearly want to be an NP, and with the new rules that means DNP. ACK! Maybe I'll change my mind and become a midwife, which is still a Master's. LOL.

Yay nurses! I have been a pediatric nurse for 11 years now, and love it! I have been considering getting my MSN someday, or possibly a Masters in Health Administration. Then I could RUN the hospital!

I am an RN, Graduated Nursing school (associates) 1985. Currently am a Medicare Nurse manager in a skilled nursing facility in the Rehab dept. No matter what aspect of Nursing one goes into I believe we have one of the most physical/mental/emotional/rewarding jobs there are! Nurses Rock!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
