1. Humiliated and scared

   Garden,RN replied to Overthamoon's topic in General Nursing

   I believe you, and they are coming down too hard on you. Of course, the sleeping is not good, but night work is very hard, and you are in nursing school which is brutal. This will pass. Get your ct results, etc, make sure all that is OK. You might ju...

2. Do you think nursing pay would decrease if a recession occurs?

   Garden,RN replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

   No, absolutely not. The only ones that should have their pay cut are the administrators making 14 and 15 million dollars a year. Nurses earn their pay with blood, sweat, and tears, and for others. Sadly the ones that have sucked the life and financin...

4. Dropped Pill - Do you give it?

   Garden,RN replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

   I don't because it's just not clean. I don't even like pouring the pills out on countertops for counting. Having said that, I was dropping things, not just pills and not just at work. It ended up being a health issue. When it started, I didn't know ...

5. Failed preemployment drug test in Florida

   Garden,RN replied to SimplyMe561's topic in Recovery

   I read that and it's terrible. Those fees are outrageous. It does sound like excessive punishment, and for something that is legal in so many states.

6. Sharing Health Information with Teachers

   Garden,RN replied to Schmidtnurse's topic in School

   That really depends. In the schools there are differences. For example, in the schools where I worked, there was staff that had been trained to administer medications and cover the clinic. Some worked directly with the students and were invaluable in...

7. Long hair at the bedside

   Garden,RN replied to kakamegamama's topic in General Nursing

   You can pull it back and out of the way, but if you are going to bend over and get close it has to picked up. It's just not clean all around.

8. Long hair at the bedside

   Garden,RN replied to kakamegamama's topic in General Nursing

   As someone with long hair, I almost always had it up, but definitely out of the way. That should be common sense, though.

13. Calling in for no sleep

    Garden,RN replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    It is acceptable and it is exactly the right thing to do. That is a part of "First do no harm". Lack of sleep is likened to being intoxicated. Moderate sleep deprivation produces impairments in cognitive and motor performance equivalent to legally p...

14. Crossing Professional Boundaries to Benefit a Patient; Do We Alter Ethics to Cope or Help?

    Garden,RN replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    Based on the information you provided, the best thing for that patient, would have been to be able to transition with the assistance of those that had become her teachers, family, and friends. That would have been good nursing care, addressing the c...
