    Discharging Patient With Opioid in Hand?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to ceegee69's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty much no way never. I'm not going to sign off that I administered a med on a patient who already was discharged and that (in fact) I didn't administer the med to. I'm not a pharmacist so I'm...

    Not Everyone is meant/wants to be a leader!

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah you should only engage in these pointless endeavors if there is something tangible in it for you. No pay bumps + No promotions = No dog & pony

    Have I proceeded correctly?

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah I think your anger is justified. I'm glad that you got testing done to dispute any claims that you drank. I'm gonna agree with Cats & I'm pretty sure these butt-heads are going to try and...

    Not Everyone is meant/wants to be a leader!

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Yep!!!! I had no desire to be a "leader". I simply wanted to do my job in a professional manner and go home. However, where I work doing committee work and idiot projects are tied to pay raises so...

    So much anger

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hppy, that is wonderful advice!!! It can take the edge off some of these expenses if the nurse itemizes their deductions. I'm a wage earner who rents so I'm a standard deduction kind of guy but it...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Lexi256's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a very broad field with very many types of jobs. Like all jobs it has its plusses and minuses which is why we get paid every two weeks. Personally I think its a great career. It has...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Takethatfordata's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I went 6 weeks once without being tested & I was getting a little nutty. I have a love / hate relationship with testing. Don't get me wrong its always a pain in the butt and I'm spending $$$ I...

    So much anger

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I think what some of you guts are starting to discuss is a program that might actually do some good. Perhaps an individual nurse who was similarly situated and has been through this to guide you...

    Positive Drug Test TNPAP

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to Bevel_Up's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This stuff is asinine. How many damn poppy seed bagels would you have to eat to get a buzz? A thousand? A Million? Its the same with the alcohol hand sanitizer at work. They need to have a...

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hppy: First congratulations on your recovery and continued efforts at doing what works for you. Second, no Nurse should ever look down on another Nurse. This sort of hierarchy where some nurses...

    Garbage Report

    SpankedInPittsburgh replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE this!!! If you can read it in the chart and it's not relevant to what's going on with the patient currently I really don't need to hear about it. Don't waste my time telling me about pappy's...
