1. Got a job in Home Health

   odaat replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Recovery

   I understand how you feel. I was also an ER nurse and definitely felt arrogant about it. Now I do dialysis and I'd be lying if I said it doesn't make me feel like I've gone down majorly. I still miss the ER every single day and keep hope alive that I...

2. Oh, you quirky night shifter you!

   odaat replied to dannibeeRN's topic in General Nursing

   Another night owl here...did 3 years of straight nights which I loved but am currently working dialysis, which means waking up at 0330, work at 0500, bedtime at 1900....it's pretty much the day-est of day shift ever ugh!

3. IPN issues- 2015

   odaat replied to NurseEmRN's topic in Recovery

   Yeah that's exactly how I feel too. It's hard to explain to anyone who hasn't gone through it but it's like these people are god or something, they literally hold my livelihood and ability to financially provide for my children in their hands. That's...

4. IPN issues- 2015

   odaat replied to NurseEmRN's topic in Recovery

   I feel your pain! I just finally dragged myself out of a bad depression/anger/burning resentment for the complete invasion of privacy we're subjected to. They just really take things too far sometimes. Having to send in a report about my vagina check...

5. At my wits end...

   odaat replied to DierkyBrewster's topic in Geriatric

   Oh just no, I think I would've had to find a new job over that one. And then to add insult to injury they brought it all back up 6 months later?? incredible ugh

9. So fed up with my coworker

   odaat replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Relations

   I don't understand how you think management has a scheduling/staffing problem that needs fixed. It would be one thing if you had to find coverage for ALL PTO you request. But thats not the case here. You are responsible for finding your own coverage ...

10. Naroctics diversion...Am I going to prison? Help

    odaat replied to whodatme's topic in Recovery

    Your use of the word disease in quotation marks says everything I need to know about the futility of furthering this conversation with you. Alas obviously as a junkie self control isn't my forte so I'll engage once more. You seem to have an addict in...

11. Naroctics diversion...Am I going to prison? Help

    odaat replied to whodatme's topic in Recovery

    Are you able to wrap your mind around the fact that it's possible to divert without taking meds from your patient or leaving them to suffer? I'm not saying that doesn't happen but realize that not everyone who diverts does that to their patients. Sec...

12. My kid is THAT kid

    odaat posted a topic in School

    Even though I'm not a school nurse, I frequently read yalls posts on the whats new list because you all and your stories are quite entertaining! So as any nurses kids, my kids know (or at least I thought they did) that if you're not bleeding or grav...

13. Naroctics diversion...Am I going to prison? Help

    odaat replied to whodatme's topic in Recovery

    I use all the non-pharmaceutical options available-heat/ice, massage, yoga, chiropractic, etc etc and take enough NSAIDS sometimes to kill a horse [emoji53] I sometimes use steroids or a mild muscle relaxer. A lot of time I just suck it up and bear i...

14. Naroctics diversion...Am I going to prison? Help

    odaat replied to whodatme's topic in Recovery

    First of all, breathe, it's going to be okay and you are not going to prison. Not one doctor, nurse, or pharmacist I have encountered on my journey has gone to prison for this. In my case, I had already gone to rehab and signed up with my states moni...
