1. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

   Dempster replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

   My own records related to work. POs and Neg reviews and practice, history while there. I know it's their property, but it was a little suprising not to be given copies of paperwork I was given (and lost) in the first place. I'm sure it's a CYA thing,...

2. Did CPR for the first time today.

   Dempster replied to Amethya's topic in School

   Without an AED, her cardiac rhythm cannot truly be known, even by checking pulse. I agree there should be no breaths or stops for pulse checks. Perfusion, perfusion, perfusion. RBCs normally complete their job every min. The iron hemes carry an Oxyge...

3. Did CPR for the first time today.

   Dempster replied to Amethya's topic in School

   Check airway for obvious obstruction and if there isn't anything blocking her throat, start compressions. Absolutely no breaths. It keeps the blood circulating to the brain and other vital organs. This method has decreased death rate of CPR recipient...

4. Did CPR for the first time today.

   She and her family are so ignorant. Dear Lord. Probably wanted to avoid a bill. Nonsensical crap goes thru some minds instead of the ******* obvious.

   They have to get a subpoena where I am. I just sent for a subpoena to obtain my own "permanent record." Crazy.

7. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

   Dempster replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

   So true about the nuances and ways of getting the message across. Sadly, this has happened to me and I've seen office managers do it to others simply bc they are upset about the inconvenience of having to hire someone else. I always make sure to put ...

8. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

   Dempster replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

   That depends. Great mother and father- aide/helper at home. Parents were horrible and abusive. Definitely a facility that the state choses for them. You see these sweet old ladies and just love them, but her kids are just ****** and miss holidays and...

9. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

   Dempster replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

   I've been "let go" before, but I include the work reference. Gaps aren't good. Put SAHM down if you really haven't been working, or put down any community services, like volunteering to fill the space. Then if asked, you say that you felt compelled o...

10. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    Dempster replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    It is illegal in some states not to go in to work at a hospital or fire station, etc. It's under "abandonment" and "direllection of duty." It sucks. In the future, you will need to call your manager and explain that you cannot get to work. She may ha...

11. Did CPR for the first time today.

    Dempster replied to Amethya's topic in School

    You are a hero. It may be the job, but it doesn't change your super hero status. I've had to climb onto the bed, straddle the pt doing CPR as he was being rushed out of surgery and into ICU. No one dies in the OR! I've broken ribs. Called an all clea...

12. Psychiatric NP without Psych RN experience

    Dempster replied to crs1978's topic in NP Students

    Last time I checked, something like 80% of general practitioners treat mental illness. Mental health care, access, Insurance to go to the nicer place in the state (sometime's there are 3 in my state), post-psych ward follow-up in the US, and communit...

13. What are the Pros and Cons of Being an Independent Contractor as an NP

    Dempster replied to TigerBlood01's topic in Advanced

    Out in the mid and western, northern states, NPs practice 100% independently. They aren't stripped of skills or medications that the are educated about and use appropriately. There isn't a doc that considers you an extension of him. It's nice to bou...

14. Parents keep medicating their febrile kids in the morning

    Dempster replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Medical professionals are the worst, especially the worst patients. Plus we try not to, but we diagnose our kids and may even write them an antibiotic if needed. The more letters behind your name- the greater the God Complex.

15. Parents keep medicating their febrile kids in the morning

    Dempster replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    The ultimate "F U" down South. I'm from the Carolinas and that's a devious way to tell people how stupid they are (if not from South). They just think you are a Southern Belle, lol! I completely get the sending kids to school sick ordeal from both pe...
