1. Nurse volunteers: Do you sign "RN"?

   wee_oneRN replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

   This section worries me! Even though you are licensed to perform tasks out of the scope of a layman volunteer, you are not covered by the hospital's malpractice insurance. Please be very careful about the tasks you choose, and good luck with your job...

2. Another Rant on Obesity and Children

   wee_oneRN replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

   I don't believe the link between economics and poor diet is that clearcut. I see many of these very same people with multiple electronic gadgets, hundred dollar cable bills, etc.. I think that education can still have a huge impact on helping familie...

4. Nursing School while still working?

   wee_oneRN replied to djdietz's topic in General Nursing

   I went to nursing school in my early 30's, and still managed to work full time. It's very do-able. There will be many people and esp instructors that will warn you how tough school and clinicals are. They will tell you that you cannot work at all. Wh...

5. Nursing while nursing, can it be done??

   wee_oneRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

   Congrats on your baby and new job! Try not to stress so much for the sake of your baby and your breastmilk. Your employer is legally obligated to allow you time to pump (at least here in ca). Even if you pump just 10 minutes 2 or 3 times during your ...

6. High Risk Meds

   wee_oneRN replied to Special31's topic in General Nursing

   Perhaps you need to research these med errors and find out what factors are involved so you know what needs to change. Are they happening at certain times of day, do they not match the original md order, is the nurse drawing up the wrong ml's, are me...

7. Sitting down to calm an upset patient is unprofessional?

   wee_oneRN replied to kristandrews's topic in Relations

   Yes, next time shove a xanax down her throat and take away her call- light! *** sarcasm over.. your supervisor is either over-stressed and not thinking straight or an idiot.

9. Shhhh! ---It's all a crock!

   wee_oneRN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

   It is very important to keep the floor as quiet and calm as possible. Imagine how you feel when you are sick at home and people won't leave you alone. Stress from extra light and noise do prolong healing time and increase risk for complications. For ...

10. MORAL DILEMA

    wee_oneRN replied to TonyaM73's topic in General Nursing

    You did not do "nothing" for your pt. You were there for them and supported their right to choose quality of life over quantity. Your coworkers is seriously confused. Refusing medication (o2 is a med) is not suicide, its a legal and ethical right. Wh...

11. feeling frustrated by AN posts and second guessing myself

    wee_oneRN replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

    As someone already pointed out, your posts sound defensive. I would also add that you accuse allnurses of causing you to second guess yourself. Not so. You are an adult, no one is forcing you to click on the negative posts. There are plenty others to...

12. Am I waisting my time with associates degree?

    wee_oneRN replied to chall2011's topic in General Nursing

    I too, already had a Bachelor's before entering an ADN program. I would not call it a 'waste' as I am an RN making the same, and performing the same duties as BSN nurses. However, it was only after I was halfway through the program that I discovered ...

13. God, my feet hurt!

    wee_oneRN replied to chall2011's topic in General Nursing

    I had plantar fasciatis while in nursing school, working full-time and walking was my only mode of transportation: Try icing your feet a couple of times a day, you can wear heel splints at night, always wear supportive shoes and buy new ones when the...

14. Why doesn't the nursing profession support LPNs?

    wee_oneRN replied to amari's topic in LPN/LVN

    The LTC i work at is the exact opposite. They want all the RNs to move on and want to hire only LVN/LPN (less pay). So, RNs are being phased out!

15. Can a new RN still work as a CNA

    wee_oneRN replied to beatrice1's topic in General Nursing

    This is an often asked question, and unfortunately, one that no one can give a concrete answer to. It really depends on your state and on the particular facility. Many facilities do not want the liability of an RN working as a CNA. Nor to they want t...
