  1. Need serious advice- dealing with smell

    Well the one patient was set up with SW but won't go to a care facility... which they need, because no one in the home can care for the patient and the patient can't take care of themself.. Unless the patient is declared incompetent we can't force th...
  2. Classes required

    I need to take statisticss and nutrition and they haven't offered them the last time around or this time, I want to get these classes done and then finish the nursing classes. Does anyone have a complete class listing?
  3. I don't even know what all classes I need to take, I don't understand the DARs. I am totally overwhelmed. Do you have any straightforward advice or what all is required? I'm terrified of statistics and I have no way to take a proctored exam except on...
  4. this program is not 100% online and I can't complete it this way. Anyone else find themselves screwed over by OU's online rn-bsn?
  5. I need something 100% online, no clinicals, no proctored exams, no nonsense. I just want to get this done. Any advice?
  6. Need serious advice- dealing with smell

    Thank you guys for all of your advice. Honestly, in our area, our resources are stretched as thin as they can possibly be. I've had pregnant patients and those with newborns turned away from the shelters for lack of space. We do the best we can, but ...
  7. Say Goodbye to Wet-to-Dry Wound Care Dressings:

    I have always hated wet to dry dressings. They don't make sense in so many ways.
  8. Dr Oz's show on antidepressants...your thoughts?

    I've hated him since he treated nurses like dancing servants but this is just ridiculous. Along with teaching coping skills and management of problems, antidepressants save lives. They are over-prescribed to people rather than teaching them coping sk...
  9. Constantly stuck staying late!

    I like my job and I don't want to just jump ship but does anyone have a tactful way to bring this up to my bosses? I just want pay to compensate for how much and how hard I work or a reduction in my hours (maybe 4 10 hour shifts a week since my contr...
  10. Constantly stuck staying late!

    Let's put it this way, I made more money (takehome) per hour as a CNA than I am making now.
  11. Need serious advice- dealing with smell

    The one patient I feel is homeless but the other I know lives in a home with running water and all of the associated facilities. I feel like she just has lost the drive to maintain hygiene. I understand the homeless patient. I've set him up with soci...
  12. Help with d/c callbacks!

    callbacks are stupid. I can't be responsible for a patient when they go home. And i don't have time for that nonsense. Sorry but that's just another customer service pile of crap.
  13. Constantly stuck staying late!

    I signed a salary contract, 8-5, I come in at 7:20 so I can have 20 minutes uninterrupted so I can do paperwork, but then I get stuck staying so late at night to finish with doctors and finish my work. All the other nurses leave at 4:45 and I always ...
  14. Super Obese

    I once got a call-in report on a patient they were planning on bringing to my unit from hours away. No other unit would take her. I normally didn't mind admissions unless they were agitated/confused or narcotic-seekers, but... She was in her 30's, ab...
  15. Need serious advice- dealing with smell

    Keep in mind that one is a man I have to deal with almost weekly. The other patient is a rare occasional visit. The man especially makes me almost physically ill with his smell. I once asked him if he would wash his hands before we completed some wou...
