  1. Prime healthcare hospitals

    guest1039278 replied to Beepollenacai's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was offered 2 weeks of "shadow shifts" and then was asked to start seeing patients on the second day I was there. 😂 IDK how you got 5 whole weeks LOL But yeah. Prime's wikipedia page speaks...

  2. Smoking residents in LTC

    guest1039278 replied to Avian c's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. I would also sue the place into the ground. I can just imagine myself on the ground turning blue from an asthma exacerbation while my coworkers and the DON look down on me and...

  3. Smoking residents in LTC

    guest1039278 replied to Avian c's topic in General Nursing

    "Am I a joke to you?" -My Albuterol rescue inhaler for

  4. How serious is it if an employee accessed my personal and medical information without permission?

    guest1039278 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    IMHO: Report it

  5. Smoking residents in LTC

    guest1039278 replied to Avian c's topic in General Nursing

    Um.... not to be dramatic but uh.... Did you just win the lottery? 😂 But seriously: 1. Not a "familiar" scenario to me. Never heard of having to force a hospital staff member to be...

  6. Management threatens nurses

    guest1039278 replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who worked their entire career in a state that did not have formal nurse:patient ratio laws, I can say that if your state does not have formal limits in place in terms of number of patients...

  7. Worried losing her license

    guest1039278 replied to Guest1239342's topic in General Nursing

    If charged with theft and adjudicated as guilty, doesn't that end up going back to the BON anyway? I imagine that you would have to report that kind of

  8. Worried losing her license

    guest1039278 replied to Guest1239342's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. I have seen people get write-ups about things like this when it's like one tablet, but a whole blister pack could be 200-300 dollars or even more (which is likely) which would likely be...

  9. Worried losing her license

    guest1039278 replied to Guest1239342's topic in General Nursing

    "Trivial" might mean something different to you than me, it seems. An entire blister pack of zofran ODTs worth $300 or more isn't "trivial" like a handful of alcohol swabs or a personal-sized bottle...

  10. Worried losing her license

    guest1039278 replied to Guest1239342's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be a pharmacy tech back in the day. Ondansetron ODTs are not necessarily cheap. We typically don't think about it on our own as if we get it from a pharmacy, it may go through insurance,...

  11. Prime healthcare hospitals

    guest1039278 replied to Beepollenacai's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I used to work at a Prime facility and I can firmly say I do NOT recommend it. Hilariously, the wikipedia page for Prime is not very

  12. Got in fight at work and suspended, will I lose my certification?

    guest1039278 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Not nearly enough info here to understand what's going on. Also, why would "anyone" need to call your therapist for you? Like as in your coworkers need to call your therapist? I am at a loss as to why...

  13. Can chart audits be a HIPAA violation?

    guest1039278 replied to George001's topic in General Nursing

    I am not disagreeing with you. I am not sure what the confusion is, if

  14. I want a future where all nurses have science degrees and are not mean girls

    guest1039278 replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in Crusty Old Bats's Chatter

    I wonder about that. I am not so sure philosophy instruction is as standardized as

  15. Can chart audits be a HIPAA violation?

    guest1039278 replied to George001's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what you are saying to 99%. My spidey-sense is about that last 1%: is this just about patient care, or is this also about the physical handling of the

  16. I want a future where all nurses have science degrees and are not mean girls

    guest1039278 replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in Crusty Old Bats's Chatter

    This is just too weird for AN. There's no question being asked, and it sounds like a flight-of-ideas if I have ever seen it. What does replacing hairstylists with AI-controlled robots have to do...

  17. Can chart audits be a HIPAA violation?

    guest1039278 replied to George001's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar thought. It is weird that staff nurses have this extra work. The staff nurse's participation in data collection sounds like a double edged sword. Will the results of your audits be...

  18. Did anyone judge you for being a male nurse?

    guest1039278 replied to ddane94's topic in Men in Nursing

    Men in nursing is dope and the male nurses I know are absolutely fantastic. Who cares what haters

  19. Gender Separation and Nursing for American Muslim Man

    guest1039278 replied to wannabenurseman77's topic in Men in Nursing

    What do you mean by "indiscriminately?" Just because a female patient isn't about to die, you can still make physical contact with the patient to do an assessment, get vitals, perform routine...

  20. Is it normal for nurses to enjoy hunting??

    guest1039278 replied to Chando's topic in Men in Nursing

    Who cares? Be you. The most unorthodox thing I saw in another nurse was their zealous interest in being a "furry." Not at work, obviously, but outside work that was his jam. Full suit and...

  21. How do you handle female patients your age or younger?

    guest1039278 replied to DanGIT1322's topic in Men in Nursing

    Same way a male doctor would examine a female patient. Use professional and courteous language. Get a chaperone. I wouldn't think too hard about it. I know I don't, and I follow my simple rules...

  22. MEN, dont come into nursing

    guest1039278 replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

    Not sure what being a guy has to do with anything. Your post just seems like a diatribe about your discontent with your job. Men in nursing is a win in my

  23. Methadone count error and BON investigation

    guest1039278 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Aren't CS medication counts supposed to be a 2 RN check? Did your facility expect you to do this on your own? I haven't seen RN med counts in a long time since the implementation of medication...

  24. Giving PRN pain meds to hospice patient

    guest1039278 replied to A2024's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I am just an idiot, but from what I gathered, the patient had 10/10 pain and a PRN morphine order which you implemented. I truly do not see what the problem is. Being on hospice does...

  25. Wondering if I am cut out for bedside nursing

    guest1039278 replied to Baynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It took me 2 years before I truly felt confident. It took me 1 year before I felt like I could competently do "nurse stuff." I remember driving to work about a year into my first job and thinking...
