  1. 1/3 of my paycheck goes to tax!

    You pay more in taxes, the more money that you make-its relative. And the more money that you make, your bracket changes. With that change comes loss of credits and deductions. And my DH is a six figure income person, and when July rolls around his S...
  2. Stethoscope Dilemma!!!

    Master Classic is very nice...
  3. North 14 - The room where the patient died.

    I began my career in NOLA, and still to this day I NEVER use the Q word.
  4. Questions...Questions..Questions??

    They certainly can. Even if you cannot push meds or intubate a patient, it gives you the confidence to remain level headed during a code. Good Luck!!
  5. I gave a back massage yesterday

    I remember those days...1991...part of the evening routine, after passing meds. Bringing each patient a snack, and providing them with a back rub before sleep. Each nurse had about 9 patients and we had one CNA(who only did vitals).
  6. Suicidal man at nurses' station

    Was the suicidal man actually a patient at that facility?

    Funny story...My DH is an excellent Paramedic,cabable of running circles around many nurses. He was transferring an ER patient from the hospital that I worked in, and was attempting to receive report from the snotty nurse that was going to be riding ...
  8. What's the issue with med surg?

    I think that all new nurses should work in Med Surg before being allowed to specialize. It is a great foundation to build on.

    Gosh..In my haste I didn't realize that I typed PCP, and meant PPE instead.
  10. Patients should ALL be swabbed tested for HIV

    Universal Precautions work with all patients. Another tip, if you think you need to use PCP, then you probably do. I am so flipping tired of hearing from exposed employees "I always am extremely careful when caring for an HIV patient". Yet they prese...
  11. Lincare Advice

    I went on that interview and the manager said she was very interested. Kept saying that the work was all in office yada yada yada. Then two months later, they call and ask if I was still interested. So, I went back and interviewed with the DM...total...
  12. I need encouragement.....

    My mom told me that very same thing...that she didn't see me being a nurse. That I couldn't handle the body fluids. That was over 20 years ago and hasn't stopped me yet. Good luck, you can do anything that you set your mind to!
  13. Is there a correct way to crank a bed?

    Also, the crank handle can be turned to avoid shin trauma...god, I hated those beds...and the non-fitted sheets that went with them.
  14. Employment Drug Test Questions

    The employer or testing site will have a Medical Review officer. This is a physician that is trained to review the non negative drug screen and the candidates prescription information. Some sites do a rapid drug screen, but non negative results shoul...
  15. Personal info was shared -HIPPA violation?

    Needs to be reported...This cannot be tolerated.
