  1. Aromatherapy Certification

    Yeah we have a guy coming to do "Integrated med" talk and supposed to "certify" nursing after teaching us. IMO he's selling his brand of oil's not anything more. I've signed up for course in Local college but had to pay and do on my own time as f...

  3. Aromatherapy Certification

    Has anyone here pursued getting an Aromatherapy Certification and if so how does it work at your facility?Several of us just finished LEVEL 1 Healing Hands and want to continue courses. I thought an Aromatherapy Certification would go great with Heal...
  4. 56 With Multiple Back Surgeries Wants to Become an RN

    billswife said Entering the job force as a new grad RN, it is unrealistic (and maybe unfair) to expect to be hired into an administrative position ahead of others who have worked bedside and have RN experience. The automatic assumption of discrimina...
  5. Down in Texas we call it "BULLYING" but regardless it is the same and being in nursing over 30 yrs I've seen it at all levels. This one thing I know. The person who does this type of thing has some major issues in life that has made them so insecure ...
  6. How safe are safety lancets?

    Okay maybe, as a Psych nurse of 35yrs plus, I am misinterpreting posts and so sorry if I'm missing the boat, but if a new ( or really any nurse) didn't have anxiety (yes I read both posts) I would be really concerned. I see nothing that would make an...
  7. Charge nurse

    Boy do I understand that. I am a "Worker Bee", do not want the "Queen Bee" Position. At our job "Charge" and "DOn" are always on call, always responsible and IMO no amt of money can compensate for coming home, throwing my shoes off, and sleeping!
  8. Geesh, sure it's just me, but I think that 1 yr on the Largest hosp u can get to (worse), on Med-Surg floor, in a teaching hospital, is best for any nurse LVN or RN. You learn basic nursing and other things and you will never forget. : )
  9. 56 With Multiple Back Surgeries Wants to Become an RN

    I don't lift, bend, push, or pull and haven't for 10yrs. I do the meds, the bulk of the documentation and rounds with the Dr's. Every job isn't ness. bedside lifting and etc. But I know if you claim "light duty" chances are the HR won't risk it. ...
  10. Jobs that older nurses do. (?)

    Hey so we all get to a certain age where we don't (or can't) run the halls anymore. Other than (gulp) retiring....does anyone have a job that they've taken after leaving hospitals, Doctor offices behind, but still require Nurses License?
  11. Warning on an LPN License.

    Please call your BON and ck with them. The nurses here are right. I've been a nurse for 30plus yrs and NEVER would have stayed a nurse if that was the case. Everyone will eventually make a mistake and not just one either. Sometimes even if caused...
  12. Time Limit on Time out for patients

    I just finally made my mind up that I have to call & report to company. I KNOW it isn't legal and I can't go with my head in the sand anymore just cause it makes me uncomfortable to speak up. Just have to push it. I keep hearing "WELL WE HA...
  13. Time Limit on Time out for patients

    No, This is 24/7 and pt is not there voluntary. Supposedly IF there is no incidents in 7 days THEN they can be out 1 hour and read a magazine or something. NO magazine, no ANYTHING, nothing but a mattress on floor is allowed in Time Out room. A...
  14. Time Limit on Time out for patients

    Please help answer this if you can as I've been reading everything with no real answer. Is there any LEGAL time limit on how long a patient remains in open door Time Out room.
  15. Do you wanna be an RN??

    REALLY? Disrespectful! OMG Now that's a new one on me. I can't remotely see how anyone but esp. a nurse (regardless of licensure) would discourage someone from uping their education and status! If someone does, believe you me, THEY have an issue...
