1. Don't Risk Your Job Over Social Media

   Miss Rayanne replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   I use both Facebook and Twitter, and here is my policy. I don't ever post protected health information or air my employer's dirty laundry. Other than that, I reserve the right to post whatever I want, whenever I want. If my employer can't handle it, ...

2. Accused of narcotic/ alcohol abuse... No clue what this is about!

   Miss Rayanne replied to Purplegiraffe's topic in General Nursing

   I would not contact the BON until you speak with a lawyer. Anything you say or do can be used against if there is a formal complaint. Are you sure they did not send out a letter prior to this one?

3. Nurse Supervisor sleeps with the staff, it's bringing down morale!

   Miss Rayanne replied to TheLazyCNA's topic in General Nursing

   Great you have another job. Then tell me what the point of your rant? Do you really need people on the internet to tell you to change jobs, when you are unhappy with the one you have? I know what you meant by that paragraph. Our issue is with you u...

4. Nurse Supervisor sleeps with the staff, it's bringing down morale!

   Miss Rayanne replied to TheLazyCNA's topic in General Nursing

   What do you mean by doing sexually immoral things. And how are the effecting you? And did you use retarded as an insult? I would expect alot more from a healthcare worker. If you don't like your job, quit. It's that simple.

5. What to wear to fill our paperwork at new job?

   Miss Rayanne replied to Just_Kidney's topic in General Nursing

   I think you should wear business attire. You can never dress to professional.

6. Head lice

   Miss Rayanne replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Geriatric

   I would check the roommate for lice. If he or she has has nits or if you find a louse, might as well keep them in the same room. Otherwise I would give the patient a private room, if possible. Be sure to wash and dry all of their clothes, bedding, to...

7. days off- a rant

   Miss Rayanne replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

   Tell them you're drunk. Works for me every time.

8. New Grad LTC

   Miss Rayanne replied to MeganStar's topic in Geriatric

   Personally, I think a new grad with no medical experience, should get at least 6 months of close supervision. However the amount of orientation you will get will depend on the company. When I took my first job in LTC, I only had two days. In retrospe...

9. Job Interview - Ethical Dilemma Question

   Miss Rayanne replied to chihuahuaman's topic in General Nursing

   An ethical dilemma is when you have two moral imperatives and they are in conflict with each other. For example, let's say you are broke, would you steal bread to feed your family? I believe most nurses will encounter several before they retire. The ...

10. Cell Phone Withdrawals

    Miss Rayanne replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I work in home health and I could not imagine doing my job without a mobile phone. It provides me with access to my E-mail, Calendar, Calculator, Stopwatch, Drug Reference App and much more. When I worked in a SNF, I always carried one on me, despite...

11. Yellow Gowns: Fall preventative or bandaid solution?

    Miss Rayanne replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Quite frankly, I've never liked the idea of putting patients in special gowns or marking their rooms to indicate that they are a fall risk. That kind of information should be in the chart or on the 24 hour report sheet. Personally I believe that it i...

12. Loco-Parentis

    Miss Rayanne replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    We don't know what really happen in nursingaround's crazy story, so it might be a little premature to be deciding if a rape occurred. I just pointed out that "good people" don't commit rape. Alcohol or hormones are no excuse for this, no matter how d...

13. Loco-Parentis

    Miss Rayanne replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    You admit to saying "silly things," so you can't be surprised that people are turned off by some of your posts. I am going to agree with this. In my opinion, I think you have crossed some boundaries, as evidenced by the fact that you see yourself ...

14. Question about who is responsible for an incident report

    Miss Rayanne replied to horrorxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    That is a common belief among healthcare workers, but it is a false one. When there is a survey at your home, administration does not have to produce any incident reports to the state. However, in the event that the facility is sued, either by a priv...

15. Loco-Parentis

    Miss Rayanne replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Do you know how offensive you sound? "Good people" don't go around raping others. It's not a simple mistake. I'm just astonished that you rant against the evils of marijuana or porn, yet you whitewash and make excuses for this crime.
