    Scared to death

    Persephone Paige replied to HardtimesRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm going to try and read between the lines: If someone were to give Tylenol and Morphine together, it would be because they were hoping the patient would get pain relief from the Tylenol if they were...

    Advice please I’m torn.

    Persephone Paige replied to Yourfavoritenurse13's topic in General Nursing

    So true! And to anyone who thinks that turning the accusations of diversion, theft or sales around on the nurse is drama, or outrageous, I would say, "YOU don't know addicts." Someone is stealing this...

    What is up with these Sickle Cell Patients?!

    Persephone Paige replied to BrandNewbieNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They've basically been handed a raw deal. Many of the sickle cell patients I've had were in a lot of pain. Try and ask yourself how you would feel were this your fate? 1. Very great chance of dying...

    I just need to vent

    Persephone Paige replied to LPN shots's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know it doesn't feel good, but take heart in knowing that this CNA does this where ever she goes. This is not new behavior. You are unfortunately saddled with a sick individual as a coworker. Beyond...

    Advice please I’m torn.

    Persephone Paige replied to Yourfavoritenurse13's topic in General Nursing

    This child is being abused, at best medical neglect. What's to keep the mother from saying you stole the medication, if you are not following through on contacting authorities? And drug screens are...

    Nights vs. Days

    Persephone Paige replied to nurseontheway's topic in Medical-Surgical

    You know how kids get sicker at night? Well, that's always been my experience anyway. People sleep, heart rates drop, people die, etc... Both shifts present their own challenges. Days have orders...

    Getting into the hospital after a stipulation

    Persephone Paige replied to RNCO82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have very limited experience outside Florida. Even then, some hospitals do not seem to be bothered at all. Our big hospitals, with big reputations are IPN friendly. What they are not tolerant of is...

    pregnant in monitoring?

    Persephone Paige replied to Rdsrn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    No, no interruption. We've had pregnancy, surgeries, etc... and no one needed to stop monitoring. I will add that the monitoring programs know that you cannot be let out of a contract if you have...

    A Chance

    Persephone Paige replied to 1nurse4job's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Keep applying... As someone told me on this forum a while back, "you are going to get a lot of 'Nos', but eventually you'll get a 'yes.' " My 'yes' finally came from a very unlikely place. In NO way...

    4 Reasons Ghosting an Employer is a Bad Idea

    Persephone Paige replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    There is room for improvement all the way around. I made mistakes as a younger nurse that I wouldn't repeat, none of them were 'ghosting.' But, still some were based on emotions and not knowing how to...

    Finally off orientation!

    Persephone Paige replied to Persephone Paige's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks everyone. One thing that IPN has given me is the support of other nurses. We don't always get that in real life working

    Getting into the hospital after a stipulation

    Persephone Paige replied to RNCO82's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't know what you're options are with regard to hospitals, but here in Fl. the companies that own the hospitals have a great deal of say. Advent health, a Christian company is the most unforgiving...

    HIPAA breach

    Persephone Paige replied to ForeverYoung018's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am older. And although I do have a FB page, it cannot be linked to me with my picture, name or email address. I make no people from work my 'friends' and the only statuses I ever post about work are...

    Divorce and Nursing. How to cope?

    Persephone Paige replied to RNbirdie1018's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Having done both, I'd rather work ICU than the floor. The patients are sicker, but the ratios were at least 'doable.' I worked NICU many years ago, had two babies. I was busy, but there was always...

    DWI Felony & Licensure

    Persephone Paige replied to nycmoon's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I know quite a few DWI and licensure folks. None of them lost their licenses, because they all complied with monitoring contracts. I live in Fl., just one DWI doesn't earn you a 5 year monitoring...

    tips for prioritizing

    Persephone Paige replied to Shelly0928's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm new like you and just barely holding on. I am an organized person, I am an adult ADHD. My day starts at 6:30am. I come a little early and it makes a difference. The first thing I did was found a...

    Notice of resignation

    Persephone Paige replied to Shyloe's topic in General Nursing

    Many institutions have a very hard time keeping dependable staff. May I suggest that your wife knows the kind of bind she will put her boss and coworkers in by leaving without 6 weeks notice?...

    HIPAA violation and future employment opportunities

    Persephone Paige replied to kmcd90's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is no small scale violation. It does not matter that your friend is okay with it. It's against hospital policy and the law, if I'm not mistaken. It's okay for your friend to randomly bring up to...

    Failed for Clinical-but no proof

    Persephone Paige replied to Misscruella's topic in General Students

    I think personal phones have no place in a clinical setting. Nurses get away with it, but they are already nurses. It's completely disrespectful to the patients and a form of theft, if you are...

    Is it a bad idea to return to the hospital?

    Persephone Paige replied to RatherBHiking's topic in General Nursing

    I am back on med-surg after many moons away from the bedside. The pros are: zero time for boredom. That's a big thing for me. When I'm bored, or have big gaps between tasks, I focus on the clock. For...

    My best advice is just comply. Nothing to do now but ride out this storm. This new format is beyond

    That was fast

    Persephone Paige posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Many of you here know my story, so I won't go into a lot of back story. Suffice to say that I am finally employed on a busy Med-Surg floor and I'm overwhelmed, but grateful. I was in IPN for 3yrs,...
