  2. Are breastpumps available for use for nurses?

    GooeyRN replied to ladybugsea's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Keep your pump. Neither of the hospitals I worked at had a pump available for employee's. Your pump will also be nice to have if you want to go out for an evening/afternoon some time. You can pump...

    GooeyRN replied to tofutti's topic in General Nursing

    I wear my plain gold band. It does not get gunky, since I am careful to wash it and underneath it when I wash my hands. My engagement ring and anniversary band stay at home. I do not want the...

  5. Getting past human resources....

    GooeyRN replied to brinley_s's topic in General Nursing

    I second going straight to the sorce. HR can take forever, if they do anything. They aren't the ones short staffed, so why would they

  6. Calling in Sick

    GooeyRN replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    The nursing home where a friend of mine makes employees make up their weekend shifts if they call out on a weekend. And not necesarily the next weekend. They schedule you for a weekend that was...

  7. LOST..need advice..-_-''

    GooeyRN replied to melamin's topic in Nursing Career

    I'll be honest here. Nursing school is very hard. Its not worth the effort if you only plan to be a nurse a few years. If you planned on working per diem or part time while working as an engineer,...

  8. Calling in Sick

    GooeyRN replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Who pays for the ER

  9. NPO and meds

    GooeyRN replied to RN2B07's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I agree with you. If they don't write if they want the meds held or not, they get a wake up call. (I am a

  10. Hospital Discourages Pressing Charges Against Assaultive Patients

    GooeyRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if your state is a right to work state, but admin. can always gently remind you that it is a right to work state, remind you that you do not have a contract, and remind you there may be...

  11. Hospital Discourages Pressing Charges Against Assaultive Patients

    GooeyRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    They probably want to keek the pt and her family happy, so they come back to your psych hospital next time instead of going elsewhere. Does she have good insurance? When I worked psych, admin wanted...

  13. Wilkes Professional Masters program?

    GooeyRN replied to Lndcrsrlvr's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would think its easiest to call each school for their particular pass rates. Don't settle for the answer, "its good". Ask for the percentage of passing for first time takers. Ask for the head of...

  14. Wilkes Professional Masters program?

    GooeyRN replied to Lndcrsrlvr's topic in Post Graduate Students

    If you live in Wyoming Valley, I wouldn't worry about not getting a job in an ICU. General Hospital is always DESPARATE for nurses on any floor or unit. New grads even get OB jobs there! I did hear...

  15. Another acceptance, I don't know what to do?

    GooeyRN replied to Blessone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats to being accepted to both! So many people would love to have your dilemma! In the long run, the BSN would be better. Is there a huge cost difference between the two schools? Having class...

  16. "Abandonment"

    GooeyRN replied to erkantarik's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I too am guilty of pt abandonment. Since I always go to the bathroom w/o getting another nurse to cover my patients. I am gone a total of about 3 minutes or so. (BR is in the hallway right...

    GooeyRN replied to landonsles's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I understand your frustrations. I am sorry. You did such a great job, by becoming valedictorian while preggers! I was the only student in my program to get an A every semester. (in both the day...

    GooeyRN replied to newgrad06's topic in General Nursing

  19. Has anyone ever had to go to court?

    GooeyRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    When you were questioned, did they ask you if you had your own personal liability

  20. The very, very old and sick who are full code

    GooeyRN replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they are respecting his wishes? Maybe they just can't let go? It's not what I would choose for myself, but then everyone is

  21. Has anyone ever had to go to court?

    GooeyRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    It just seems wrong to me, to be able to go after whoever has money available, and not go after those who don't. Shouldn't they be going after whoever was negligent, not who has the money? That just...

  22. Has anyone ever had to go to court?

    GooeyRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    ps, the first thing the prosecution asks in a deposition after you verify you're you........ "do you carry your own insurance"...... I never have and never will.... they would have tried to take me...
