1. Pros & Con's of baby making while in nursing school.

   MoopleRN replied to 1naturalhealer2016's topic in General Students

   If you're asking a bunch of strangers if you should conceive another child at the age of 26 when you already have two 7 yr olds while you start nursing school, my answer (as a stranger) is a...

2. noncompliant resident in assisted living care

   MoopleRN replied to rehctelf's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   How is it "noncompliant" to be on their call light for the stupid/annoying/waste-your-time requests? That's not "noncompliant"; it's simply annoying and wastes your time. How can you you stop it?...

3. Is this considered 1 Occurrence?

   MoopleRN replied to whomiskim's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   Am I the only one that wonders why in the world the OP thinks this general public forum is the employee handbook for his/her facility?!? Sheesh and likewise

4. How do you get results without being rude?

   MoopleRN replied to lisaogden6's topic in General Nursing

   Let the nurse know if a patient assigned to you is requesting a pain med. Let her know ONCE. She is the primary nurse and she knows what the patient can have/when the clock allows the next dose....

5. I Need some kind of RN Career Counselor

   MoopleRN replied to Nurse J1112's topic in General Nursing

   OP, your attitude on this thread has been positive which leads me to believe there is hope for you…. at a price. Nurses have to eat it. Period. By that I mean smile, be a robot, recite the script...

6. Dealing with calls from work

   MoopleRN replied to Katniss88's topic in General Nursing

   You're not required to answer the phone when work calls (that's what caller ID is for!) and you're not obligated to come in if you do answer the phone and are asked to come in. If you can't find a...

7. Narc count

   MoopleRN replied to dubspot's topic in Patient Medications

   Yes and no it's a problem. The problem for the incoming nurse is if she signed it was correct and it later on proved not to be, it's on her. OTOH, if the count later on was incorrect, there will be...

8. Narc count

   MoopleRN replied to dubspot's topic in Patient Medications

   If the incoming 3-11 nurse signed the count without actually counting and the count is off, it's on her because she's signed her name coming on. If you're signing the count with another 7-3 nurse...

9. Hired on days, manager request to switch to night

   MoopleRN replied to PinkString's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   "Paltry pay" is relative when compared with the cost of living/personal debt etc... as I've already said. If your paycheck allows you to pay your bills/save for your future and have some fun then...

10. Is the nursing profession really for me???

    MoopleRN replied to dreag87's topic in General Students

    "Is the nursing profession really for me???" No, it's not, IMO. How do I know? I read your OP. Only you can help you and the only way you can do that is knowing yourself. Do strangers on a nursing...

11. Hired on days, manager request to switch to night

    MoopleRN replied to PinkString's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What's pathetic about $1350/2 weeks? There are BILLIONS of unemployed "peeps" who would love to get that and health insurance (nurses or not and of course most aren't). We all want to make more...

12. How did you get out of getting the Flu shot?

    MoopleRN replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One facility I worked at required/mandated that if you didn't provide proof of a current flu shot or get one the facility would provide, you had to wear a mask during patient cares. Shot or mask,...

13. Fired for the second time... by THE SAME DON.

    MoopleRN replied to NurseCard's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've come to realize that there is often little difference between LTC and acute care, especially if they're skilled. OP, there's no way I can offer an objective opinion on whether or not you should...

14. My major mistake This thread is about a mistake i made nearly a year ago.

    MoopleRN replied to mhospRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses who make med errors are EVERY SINGLE NURSE WHO'S EVER WORKED AS A NURSE ON THE FLOOR. Or they're lying. Nurses who don't give a crap about their med error, even long after, are the nurses who...

15. No Visitors

    MoopleRN replied to Morainey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If my patient has specified "these couple of people" and someone not on the list, even the mother, wanted to visit, I wouldn't double check with my patient. Why would I? My patient has already made...
