2. California LVN Scope of Practice

   fulitarn posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   My friend works for a mental health resource center in California. They haven't been able to hire an RN because they cannot offer competitive pay. She is wanting to know if an LVN can preform the duties without an RN or MD supervising. The mai...

   fulitarn replied to may1787's topic in NICU

   There are study guides on the NANN website. I don't remember if I had to but them or not, but I wouldn't have passed without them.

4. Medical kidnap? Discuss

   fulitarn replied to dbabz's topic in Headlines

   The CNN article was very slanted in the parents perspective. Having been in similar situations, families frequently interpret medical comments and actions in a way that was not intended, especially if they are already angry.

5. Worried about prospective employers looking at my medical record

   fulitarn replied to PurpleScrubs's topic in Disabilities

   No. And if they somehow do you can report them and would be eligible for compensation.

6. Can they do that??

   fulitarn replied to Loxam10's topic in Disabilities

   No. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, they have to make "reasonable accommodation" for you. You have a documented disability and can do the work you were hired to do. For them to say that you need to do more than you are able, espe...

8. Vaccine controversy

   fulitarn replied to degfnp's topic in NP

   I ask them why they think the government wants a population full of persons with autism, MS, diabetes, cancer, etc. (not that I'm judging any of them). But why does the government want a population full of sick and disabled people?

9. I don't think i can be around this co-worker anymore.

   fulitarn posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'll start by saying that I have a of assault, anxiety and PTSD. Work had always been a safe place for me, until now. I was in the supply room at work one day, looking for something. This room is a locked closet at the end of a long hallway, where ...

10. Can I please get a Parking Spot!

    fulitarn replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital with an ED closest to me does this to patients too. There is a parking garage across from the ED, and the first 2 levels are Dr parking only. You have to go up to level 3 to get to patient parking. There are 2, only 2, ED patient park...

11. Nurses with SelfHarm Scars

    fulitarn replied to redheadrn86's topic in Disabilities

    I wear 3/4 length sleeves at work, and I work in the NICU. I wear them under my scrub top. I haven't had a problem with it. As for other people asking/saying something, a snarky remark is usually easiest. I told my nieces I got in a knife fight ...

12. Ever forgotten to feed a baby?

    fulitarn replied to jennylee321's topic in NICU

    I once had a dream I was taking care of a kid with osteogenesis imperfect, I was going through everything making sure he was comfortable and protected. Then I said, I need to surround him with a circle of salt, and I ran to the breakroom and found s...

13. Beanbags out? Need proof!

    fulitarn replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in NICU

    I think the main concern with bean bags is infection control. How well are they being cleaned between patients? Are bacteria growing on the inside around the beads? That type of thing. We switched to frog positioners/bean bags with a wipeable cov...

14. Vaccination Health Concerns

    fulitarn replied to user01298's topic in Disabilities

    I work with a nurse who has a severe allergy and can't be vaccinated. We work in critical care and she just needed medical documentation, and what vaccines she had received. She does have to wear a mask during flu season. The hospital can do tite...

15. Turning babies Every 2 hours?

    fulitarn replied to TeenyTinyBabyRN's topic in NICU

    As a developmental care specialist I would say this sort of blanket policy is very contra indicated in NICU. The most fragile and sick babies should not be touched, let alone turned, but minimally. It also doesn't line up with clustered care times...
