    Inconsistencies in Recovering Nurses

    Persephone Paige replied to Jon12309's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am very familiar with the discrepancies. And although I have seen a pattern with regards to doctors vs nurses ( I guess the prescribers get afforded all the cushy deals ) because they are harder to...

    OIG list

    Persephone Paige replied to RN2364's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yes, you can get off that list. From my personal investigation ( I was scared I was on it ) it's a list of providers who have either committed some sort of 'act' or had their licenses revoked,...

    What if your patient goes missing?

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

    This was a great article. And years since I've dealt with elopement risks... When I graduated ( 1990 ) we were still allowed to restrain patients. I understand why restraints are no longer permitted,...

    Hiring Mgr: We will let you know in 2 weeks

    Persephone Paige replied to chaki's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the type of institution. The 'State' jobs take FOREVER and they never let you know if you are their choice prior to doing all the reference checks. You could get a call months later...

    In Defense of the LTC Nurse

    Persephone Paige replied to Oswin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I think of all the feelings and emotions a LTC facility evokes in me: fear, revulsion, denial... I'm fairly certain that what you are picking up from these people is their own personal sentiments...

    Getting charged in multiple states?

    Persephone Paige replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I gave up nursing purely for personal reasons and found I missed it. I had cancer, too. So, that factored in. I was also addicted, but I was so bored staying home that when they allowed me to get my...

    Maybe a stupid question..

    Persephone Paige replied to fjluce's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow! This is a very hard situation. First, as a new grad, I barely had time to massage a cramp out of my own neck/back, let alone worry about whether or not my coworker was in pain. Second, you can't...

    Dangers of teaching kids they can be boys or girls

    Persephone Paige replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    If gender is just a social construct, why do they treat it medically? If gender is social, then just advise your social circle that you are now a ______ and be done with it. No? Not enough? Then...

    TPAPN "step down"

    Persephone Paige replied to Oogie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In my State, it's 5 years for most. I went before the Board with nearly 2 years sober, clean hair samples to back up my claims. But because I did have a history of addiction, I was still given a 5...

    Who cleans the poo?

    Persephone Paige replied to leilo0's topic in General Nursing

    I think the worst part is being completely oblivious to it. Just walking, dropping turds and moving right along. Dear God, please

    I hate my new grad nurse residency program HELP

    Persephone Paige replied to nursingisfun4lyfe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you, pixierose. Some of us nurses become nurses before we know we have our own issues that need to be looked after too. It's difficult, but it can be overcome and then we feel very

    Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    Persephone Paige replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    This sort of behavior is in all types of employment. And the corporations are instructed to hire an underdog, a single parent, someone with a disability, etc... to prove that they are about lifting...

    BYOB at work?

    Persephone Paige replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for about a year in a cluster home. There were 3 houses with 8 residents in each house and most if not all had very little to look forward to in life. It's very easy in these type settings...

    I hate my new grad nurse residency program HELP

    Persephone Paige replied to nursingisfun4lyfe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ok, so I come from a bit of a different place and this is what I've learnt: Feelings are not always fun, but they will not kill me. I don't like feeling scared, I don't like feeling like a burden, I...

    Who cleans the poo?

    Persephone Paige replied to leilo0's topic in General Nursing

    I have no problem cleaning up poop. I had my children and then had a couple of grandchildren to look after, so poop seems to be my inheritance. That being said, it seems pointless to hire housekeeping...

    Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    Persephone Paige replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I feel like we, as adults and health care professionals, know what our jobs are. I know that when I come to work in a clinical setting, I will need to do report, meds, labs, assessments,...

    Multiple CNA's refusing assigned task

    Persephone Paige replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently seeking employment and the jobs I have applied for are ones where I could survive without a CNA. I graduated in 1990, it was rare that a CNA would deliberately refuse, but still...

    3 nursing jobs in 2 years. Unhirable?

    Persephone Paige replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you the best of luck. I thought I had the meanest preceptor for my 40 hour practicum at the very end of nursing school. But what I found is if I humbled myself to her instruction and seeming...
