  1. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    osceteacher replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say no, but only just. That poor patient would have died

  2. Would this shirt get me into trouble in class?

    osceteacher replied to FloridaLPN19's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thats self

  3. Would this shirt get me into trouble in class?

    osceteacher replied to FloridaLPN19's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Tacky, really tacky. The self aggrandising nurse is always my least

  4. Mandatory Vaccination

    osceteacher replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    I'm no fan of people using false equivalencies but I'll still reply regardless. Mandating people get injected is in no way similar to wearing shoes. I would agree that Nicotine policy is disgustingly...

  5. Mandatory Vaccination

    osceteacher replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    I find it an overstep of power and it should be an incentivised choice. I think anti-vaccine people are morons, but I also do not agree with forcing them to have the flu

  6. Contact with former patient from now former job

    osceteacher replied to BankNurse's topic in United Kingdom

    We had a nurse marry an ex patient, like Grumpy said, if they're not a vulnerable patient then there shouldn't be any

  7. Forgot to restart my patients fluids

    osceteacher replied to daniela095's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I agree some are, some

  8. Forgot to restart my patients fluids

    osceteacher replied to daniela095's topic in General Nursing

    Its not that common, it doesn't happen to every guy and it is a big deal! Wait, wrong topic. Its not a big deal, its a mistake, they happen. The liklihood of harm is minimal, all you have to do is...

  9. US to UK nursing Salary

    osceteacher replied to AbigailJo's topic in United Kingdom

    A single person working full time will EASILY survive, don't forget that 25k is much more with enhancements, you SHOULD be earning at least another third of that with weekend and nights, so 30-35k in...

  10. 7 Ways to Sabotage Your Own Success in Nursing School

    osceteacher replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    My wife and I are happily married for 10

  11. I would really love....

    osceteacher replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    You should

  12. Is it wrong to start infusion that will not finish till next shift?

    osceteacher replied to Capp's topic in Patient Medications

    There are so many gifs I could choose to use to represent my face when reading this. What in the hell is that nurse talking

  13. Gap of Nurse experience

    osceteacher replied to cyril88's topic in International Nursing

    You'll be fine, we've just had one of our health care assistants pass their OSCE and are now registered and she'd been a HCA for 5

  14. Am I overreacting?

    osceteacher replied to Jvn11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am pretty surprised that 12 people liked 'As long as it's in your scope of practice, you can't really refuse to care for a patient because you haven't encountered that skill.' Not even as a trainer,...

  15. Am I overreacting?

    osceteacher replied to Jvn11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'll be honest, you should have refused the transfer in my opinion then, this is obviously easier said than done and I don't blame people who are new or not assertive enough to stand up to management,...

  16. Terminated/Resigned after 1 week orientation in the ED

    osceteacher replied to littlemissRN24's topic in Nursing Career

    This is why I love the NHS and employees rights, how on earth can you just fire someone you hired because you didn't check their background properly? A really bizarre scenario. How do you even get...

  17. Am I overreacting?

    osceteacher replied to Jvn11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry but its a no from me. You're not over reacting, you should not be given a patient with a device that you're not trained in. I'm a medical device trainer in my other role and our policy is very...

  18. Help! Tested positive

    osceteacher replied to Jaybird82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm really sorry but this whole drug testing thing just seems so toxic to me, I appreciate these are private entities but my word. I hope it gets sorted for

  19. Junior Sister

    osceteacher replied to gracious0609's topic in United Kingdom

    Focus on the retention, I find the idea of a junior band 6 involved in recruitment a bit weird, your job should be keeping people happy. Factors within your control: Staff empowerment. The biggie. I...

  20. When to apply for band 6

    osceteacher replied to RainbowRibena's topic in United Kingdom

    I hate the fact I can't edit my post after a certain time, the grammar in my original one disgusts

  21. Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    osceteacher replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    Anyway, no I wouldn't refuse based on my own

  22. What happens if you put water on ketone stip?

    osceteacher replied to Avill's topic in School

    Had 2 patients under the age of 25 die this year, constantly in and out of ICU over the years due to not looking after themselves. Ate all the nonsense and didn't bother with their insulin. Found dead...

  23. When to apply for band 6

    osceteacher replied to RainbowRibena's topic in United Kingdom

    10 years ago I probably would have said yes, but in todays nursing I'd say no, you're not too Junior. We've had multiple Band 6's who were promoted within 18 months, they have struggled more than they...

  24. Peanut allergy issue

    osceteacher replied to Csn2016's topic in School

    I'm going to be controversial. Peanut butter Jelly is an abomination and any child eating it should be home schooled

  25. Blood specimen from iv sites.

    osceteacher replied to omotee's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. This review says do away with the 5 day rule (We still have this in the trust sadly) There is ZERO evidence to support cannula removal purely on the basis of
