1. Reporting for racial slurs/substance abuse

   guest563546 replied to guest563546's topic in Safety

   I do appreciate everyone's input. As I stated before, I'm going to continue to stay out of it, continue to block her when she finds ways to contact me, and hope that if her drug abuse/racism affects her work, it will be recognized and handled by the ...

2. Reporting for racial slurs/substance abuse

   guest563546 replied to guest563546's topic in Safety

   I don't call this nurse my friend. And I "pretend" to care about my patients? That's a big assumption from someone who doesn't know me.

3. Reporting for racial slurs/substance abuse

   guest563546 replied to guest563546's topic in Safety

   I do appreciate everyone's input. After reading all this, it seems to me that contacting her employer would be more interaction with her than I'd like to engage in. That being said, regardless of her actions toward me, it's none of my business. Hopef...

4. Reporting for racial slurs/substance abuse

   guest563546 replied to guest563546's topic in Safety

   Just to clarify on my relationship with this person: we're not friends. She dislikes me, and occasionally texts me or messages me from different accounts. I block her and don't hear anything for a while, then a few months later she tries again. I app...

5. Reporting for racial slurs/substance abuse

   guest563546 posted a topic in Safety

   I have an acquaintance who is also a nurse. We don't work at the same facility. Recently she sent me some nasty texts about a friend of mine who is African American, and she used some really nasty racial slurs. I politely corrected her terminology. S...

6. Test question re: PROM

   guest563546 replied to guest563546's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Thank you guys, so much. Our instructor let us know soon after the test that she wasn't budging on her decision, which is fine. Since I'm still in school and this semester isn't over I'm still using all of my available resources for knowledge, includ...

7. Test question re: PROM

   guest563546 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I just wanted professional opinions. This one is bothering myself and some classmates. Test question reads: A patient who is at 30 weeks presents to the clinic with PROM. Select the appropriate nursing diagnosis for the patient: a. Ineffective indivi...

8. Grossest thing that you've experienced?

   guest563546 replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in General Nursing

   Got to the floor one morning while doing LPN clinicals and received my patients. Was looking up med info before I went into pt #1's room. Saw a few CNA's look into a room, laugh, continue walking. One of them actually said "glad that ain't me". I had...

9. Working with student nurses

   guest563546 replied to LisaRN1105's topic in General Nursing

   I guess this just shows what different experiences we all have. All but one of the nurses I worked with as a student were incredibly nice. They told us they appreciated us because we did everything for the patients we had, from bathing/potty type dut...

10. Deer in the headlights pain assessments

    guest563546 replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    I have been guilty of not popping out an answer within the first millisecond of having been asked this question. Usually it's because I'm not expecting it and I'm trying to figure out which would be the best number that describes my actual pain witho...

11. Geez...they're dropping like flies!

    My LPN class started out with 30 and 11 graduated.

12. How to NOT interview for your RN/LPN job!

    guest563546 replied to musicianRN's topic in Job Hunt

    The only tip I don't agree with is don't come in without makeup. Makeup is NOT a necessity in order to look polished and professional. Sometimes it's a plus, at certain times we all need it, but I hardly think it's required in order to prove yourself...

13. How many hours of sleep do you require

    guest563546 replied to ICAN!'s topic in Safety

    I'm good on about four hours per night. The more I sleep, the groggier I am when I wake up. My Dad was the same way.

14. Embarrasing illnesses

    guest563546 replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Heh heh gives new meaning to the phrase "half assed". For the rest of their lives, or until they have it repaired, that pt better do evrything to the best of their ability.
