  1. What would you do?

    RNgonewild replied to mom4josh's topic in General Nursing

    God, what a pain and crock HIPPA is. And JCAHO too. We are starting that walking room to room report on Monday, if that isn't a pain, with trying to find 3-4 different nurses and then run to outside...

  2. "Why are you proud of that ??!!"

    RNgonewild replied to sissiesmama's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Guess what? I'm proud of

  3. Is the pay really that bad??

    RNgonewild replied to myty23's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I'm on the side that nurses don't get enough compensation for what they do and what they are worth, but look at it this way: if the nursing shortage wasn't an issue or if hospitals figure a...

    Hi, does anyone have any information on Cooley Dickinson Hospital in Northhampton? I'm interested in finding out about staffing, pay scale, working conditions, etc. Currently an out of state nurse,...

    RNgonewild replied to RNgonewild's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    So is anyone from that area, with knowledge of the local hospitals?

  6. nurses with no RN license practicing as a nurse?!

    RNgonewild replied to inschool4ever's topic in General Nursing

    What's the point of reporting this to the BON? They aren't nurses, so they can't lose their licenses anyway. If they have been practicing like this anyway, what's going to stop them? Not the doctor's...

  8. What are some US cities where you do NOT need a car at all to live / work?

    RNgonewild replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    What about Boston? Philly? And you could even live in LA if you lived downtown, not easily, but the public transportation system is not bad. You could probably live in any major city because of the...

  9. Nursing assistant identified as low stress career

    RNgonewild replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    You know what would be stressful? Trying to pay your rent or mortgage on that salary. Let them try to do it. I didn't see one job up there that would not be stressful at times. Maybe we should have...

  10. If I Murder A Co-worker, How To Hide The Body??

    RNgonewild replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    why bother hiding the body? If she's a lazy one, just stick her in a chair and no one will notice that's she's dead for months. Oh yea, put her by a vent.

  11. Hourly Rounding

    RNgonewild replied to Erianne1074's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Could be worse, they could have you monitored like they do in parts of my hospital. Your badge has a GPS or something chip in it and they can see when and where you are at all times. Then they can...

    RNgonewild replied to aye caramba's topic in General Nursing

    RNgonewild replied to 1993RNGrad's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you and good for your manager. I especially applaud her! What could have happened is what happened to one of my collegues in NICU. She was gavage feeding a baby in her pod and another baby...

  14. Did Hillary really say nurses are glorified sitters ?..... No fact to support

    RNgonewild replied to time4meRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hillary really should know better, wasn't her mother-in-law a nurse? If that's the case she sure should have heard an earful from

  15. Hourly Rounding

    RNgonewild replied to Erianne1074's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Holy crap, that was the exact same script they were teaching us to say at our hospital!! And that is in So. Cal. And now the big trend for managers is that they are being taught at there meetings "the...

  16. I want to quit after one month....

    RNgonewild replied to nurse_runner's topic in General Nursing

    What's the big deal? Apply for the job near to home and when you are on the interview, tell them truthfully,"I am looking for a job closer to home." They will respect that. They may even be impressed...

  17. Tuscon AZ nursing

    RNgonewild posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Currently I'm a nurse in So. Cal. My son has been accepted to U of A and I was thinking of getting a parttime/per diem job in Tuscon to eventually establish residency so he can get the in state...

    RNgonewild replied to RNgonewild's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for the good info. I'll send my husband, he doesn't live with me and he doesn't work anyway. Let him do some good for the kid, lol. Besides if I went to AZ I would probably stay there more than...

  21. How soon to give a prn??

    RNgonewild replied to candycane267's topic in General Nursing

    I do up to half hour early, but I try to hold them to 15 minutes before. I just let them know approximately when the next dose is due and to call me to remind me. A medicated patient is a happy...

    To the one with the uncle: Find out if you're in his will and then give the "proper" advise. Heh, heh!

  24. Glen Beck's hospital experience

    RNgonewild replied to emmycRN's topic in Nursing News

    I would have liked to help him out....with a nice fluffy pillow. All patients should be treated the same, with dignity, no matter their monetary worth. I have never heard of this guy, but I'm guessing...

  25. Meal time

    RNgonewild replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we pass trays. It started out that the nurse should at least pass the breakfast trays, as to introduce herself to the patients. This is a mid-sized So. Cal hospital, we are not in the boonies. I...
