I don't see how you're even able to pass state inspection. Wow...they are playing fast and loose with your licences. Why on earth would you not use PPE when mixing and administering chemo? This...

I'm sure glad surgery and chemo were there to treat my late stage ovarian CA.

Indeed!

I've had debilitating migraines that started when I was in grade school. I can completely understand dealing with the kind of pain you describe, but when you seem to be the slightest security threat...

Part of me thinks it wouldn't be a bad idea to require it, what with all of the wanna-be's/pretenders. It would definitely let the patients know they were being taken care of by a nurse, not a UAP,...

LOL. That's what I was thinking.

During the interview process they are going to be careful to make sure people aren't going to try to push an agenda on their patients.

You have no less a right to be a nurse than someone who needs glasses; than someone who is diabetic; than someone who requires an ambulatory assistive device to perform the job requirements, etc. ...

I start off by telling them that I usually don't discuss personal matters like religion, politics, etc. Then I ask them if there is something of a spiritual matter on their mind since they asked...

leslie, I'm pretty sure as someone who has had plenty of hospice experience, you know hospice programs weed out people with that attitude when they apply for positions. The hospice environment is...

Why let what other people think/say affect how you feel about your job? If you're proud of what you do, hold your head up and ignore the negativity. Try educating them about the positive aspects of...

That may not be true depending on the BSN program you choose. I am doing a completion with a major university and they accepted college credits that were almost 30 years old. There are advantages...

It's not so much the amount of fluid; it's that he/she was practicing outside scope of practice.

Or maybe she actually did post her own picture and made those posts herself. Occam's razor: All things being equal, the simplest explanation tends to be the one that's correct.

This is a really hot, hot topic. I would check the search function; there have been numerous threads about this. (No, I'm not being mean, I'm just saying the OP will find a lot of info right away...

I'm continually amazed how people can be so ding-dang dumb. I don't think you can use it in your eval, but I would give it to you mgr. She most likely can use it. This should be a lesson to...

I know that when I was in MIC-KEY, very few people understood it was similar to M-O-U-S-E.

Not me personally, but yes, I have seen that happen. Saw it happen with chemo, too. It's nice that your co-workers were being supportive. Be grateful for that.

If you look at Oncology Nursing Society, they can tell you when a chemo provider course will be available in your area. The first time you take the course it is not just about chemo administration. ...

It's funny that it was ingrained in many of us of a "certain age" not to cry in front of a patient or their family because it was "unprofessional," yet it's that same display of humanity that touches...

Deleted.

Exactly.

I don't think it's going to be that helpful since you won't really be using it. It takes a lot of sticks to become proficient, so my guess is a potential employer isn't going to be all that...

It is a big deal when you're in a hospital and staff try to pray with you or otherwise inflict their religious beliefs on you. Many years ago I was hospitalized. I forget exactly what was wrong,...

The morale issue couldn't possibly have been related to other issues...it was those doggone "non-believers." Too bad you can't weed them out when they're being interviewed for a job.
