1. to tell or not to tell?

   mayzeegrl replied to ablynn's topic in Safety

   I guess you just have to pick your battles. It would not break the hospital's confidentiality if you reported abuse or neglect going on with a patient. You are a mandated reporter. As far as other nurse's techniques you may find more and more of thi...

2. Faith Hill makes fun of nurses!

   mayzeegrl replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   Pardon my ignorance, but who is Faith Hill? I never set eyes on her before. I'm being honest here. Guess she doesn't make that much of impession on people as she seems to think that she does.

3. Lpn who cant find a job other than LTC

   mayzeegrl replied to Nurse-Tee's topic in LPN/LVN

   Unfortunatley this is the case where I live in Massachusetts. Seems the only job options for LPN is in LTC and as you already know as well as I, it's not a very fun setting to be in. I do know that my mother who is an LPN has had work experience as...

4. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

   mayzeegrl replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

   People who are nurses were all student nurses at one time. Some people have less tolerance than others and some people love to help and teach the nursing students. It's just like life, some people are nice and some are not and you'll find that out ...

5. Nurses with bipolar disorder?

   mayzeegrl replied to lizzychica02's topic in Psychiatric

   I think it's great that you want to get into a profession in which you are helping people who have similar issues as yourself. Who better to take care of the mentally ill than someone who has personal experience themselves? The board of nursing can...

6. Stigma against Psych.

   mayzeegrl replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Psychiatric

   Keely, I think it's great that you want to get into psyche nursing. There isn't anything wrong with wanting to help the mentally ill, as they are people too. And psyche nursing is not a lower form of nursing. Maybe these people you talk to who scr...

7. Students who don't belong, being pulled through LPN program (long rant)

   mayzeegrl replied to Murse901's topic in General Students

   I can relate to your fears and concerns. When I went to school, people were weeded out each quarter and the class got smaller and smaller each time. But, some of the ones that remained should have been the ones weeded out because they did not take ...

8. I can't stop crying... need encouragement...

   mayzeegrl replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

   Dear Lori, sorry you had such a hard time. What I want to know is why it is all your responsibility for everything??? Don't you have five Lpns in the facility also? Were you in charge of your own floor or are you the acting supervisor. Seems that...

9. Intramuscular Injection Sites?

   mayzeegrl replied to Nurse Bethie's topic in Safety

   Dorsogluteal always works best for me. I feel more confident using that injection site than any other, although we were taught all injection sites in nursing school.

10. I'm so ashamed...

    mayzeegrl replied to ALMED's topic in New Nurse

    Dear Mike, being a new nurse is one of the hardest things in the world. It is so overwhelming. When I became a new nurse I started out as treatment nurse for all four floors of LTC facility, and then they ended up making me a float nurse for all fou...
