1. Terminated after two months and in need of help please!

   Nursing Is My Life replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Geriatric

   Another thing you may not be aware of is that if you're terminated from a position, it is mandatory that you self report to the BON that you were terminated. You'll have to explain why you were terminated and can state your side of the story. There m...

   Nursing Is My Life replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

   I was saddened to hear of this tragedy. My thought, prayers and condolences go out to the Short family and friends. I'm pleased to hear that AN will continue, that is what Brian would want. May they all rest in peace.

3. Is it OK to discipline nurses extra for calling in sick on a holiday?

   Nursing Is My Life replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with you 100% . It's bad enough that you're sick, you're not feeling well and then to be made to feel bad and guilty because you called in is a bunch of B.S. Where I work, they say if you're sick you have to find your own replacement. That is...

4. Bathroom? What's a bathroom ... ???

   Nursing Is My Life replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   How well I know this. Seems you just get settled on the toilet to take care of business and the alarm goes off. So you're trying to hurry and wipe, pull up your clothes and wash your hands before anyone is getting injured! Sometimes I feel like we ne...

5. What is the proper way to address an RN?

   Nursing Is My Life replied to planetoi's topic in Relations

   I introduce myself with my first name to my residents/patients and staff. I don't mind them calling me by my name only. I have one staff member that refers to me as Miss Wanda. :)

8. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

   Nursing Is My Life replied to delphine22's topic in Relations

   I think it's inappropriate behavior in a hospital setting . There is a time and place for sex but the hospital isn't it. If the patient is well enough to have sex while being hospitalized, perhaps he/she should be discharged and give that bed to some...

9. Furosemide & KCl

   Nursing Is My Life replied to OwlieO.O's topic in Medications

   I was taught that if a patient was on Lasix then they should be on KCL as well, lately I've noticed that a lot of my residents receive Lasix but aren't on KCL. so has this changed?

10. Is Your Nurses' Week Gift Not Exactly What You Wanted?

    Nursing Is My Life replied to Brian's topic in Rock

    I'd be happy with a little positive recognition for all nursing staff. We work hard daily providing the best care we can for our residents and seldom hear a positive comment from the higher ups in the chain of command. We got a water bottle/glass wit...

    Nursing Is My Life replied to yazisizit's topic in Humor

    That is so sad, I couldn't imagine having to be those parents.

12. Something bothered me today in the Emergency Dept.

    Nursing Is My Life replied to Wrangler156's topic in Emergency

    Personally I don't see anything wrong with going and visiting her, especially since she extended the invitation for you to do so. She may not have any family or friends that will come and visit her. Your visit would brighten her day. I had a patient...
