    My husband doesn't want me on ALLNURSES

    Hoosier_RN replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    My S/O told me no FB or AN allowed period. I should be cleaning house, etc., for him. (So I'm not here if he asks 😁). Actually, he bans my usage, but being as he works days and I work 2nds, I...

    Military

    Hoosier_RN replied to NDurse's topic in Indiana Nursing

    But remember, getting into nursing in the military is very competitive as well. Talk to a recruiter. BUT, you do NOT want to leave your nursing license sit for very long without experience. You...

    junior high student thinks she is pregs

    Hoosier_RN replied to crazynursebsn's topic in School

    I'm not a SN, but wanted to add that a NP who comes to my facility has a 3rd grade daughter who is 'dating' a colleagues' 5th grade son. The NP told me that she hopes her daughter doesn't do anything...

    MSN in Patient Safety & Quality

    Hoosier_RN replied to lucy100's topic in Quality Improvement

    Its a degree offered at snhu. Most HR persons I talked to thumbs downed it when I was looking to choose my online MSN. This degree would fall to risk management and as Risk Manager stated, without...

    Outgoing LVN refuses to do a Narc Count

    Hoosier_RN replied to CaliBoy760's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If there's an inconsistency in the count, the LPN needs to answer for it. For the sup to be so dismissive is wrong, as an incorrect narc count can be state reportable in most

    Opinion please!!

    Resignation dilemma

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nursiology's topic in General Nursing

    Things like this would get you blacklisted from nursing. It's a small world. DO NOT take this

    That one co-worker

    Hoosier_RN replied to soyoureanurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ditto what other posters have said. AND kill her with kindness. Be direct with her, regardless of her actions. Always take the high

    Answering Call Lights

    Hoosier_RN replied to Laurus Nobilis's topic in Medical-Surgical

    As they shouldn't, unless they know mobility status, diet, etc. So it really doesn't help to have a no pass

    What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    Hoosier_RN replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    You wouldn't believe the amount of new grads that believe they need to reorient the resident. Recent grads within 2 years. Yes, they are still teaching that at some schools. I have never bothered to...

    Questions for an acute care nurse.

    Hoosier_RN replied to dudette10's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As previously said, many times its getting meds ordered so that they arrive in a timely fashion. Also, sometimes, there is more help available (management) to help put in the orders, so that the nurse...

    Job to live off of while in nursing school?

    Hoosier_RN replied to jojofutureRN's topic in General Students

    Most schools, once in nursing classes, don't have night classes. But being a CNA is a great place to start! Good luck on your

    LTC's are a joke

    Hoosier_RN replied to baygrl11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We get some that add BP checks for all BP meds. If its a med that's been used a,while with no adverse effects, then by all means, DC. If new or dose change, BP for short term (2 wks). One of few meds...

    What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    I was 1 of first computerized test takers. I didn't take a study course. I didn't sweat it. Passed 1st attempt at 76 Q's. My school prepared me. I could have taken paper and pencil and not been much...

    LPN to RN.. No job

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nori.Giselle's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Some new grad residency programs will not take LPNs, and /or if you work in med/surg as RN, it may count as experience and exclude you as well. Check before you take any job. But good luck. As...

    At first I read "are you flatulent in ATS?"

    Would you report possible diversion?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Why should his conscience have issues? I think of him protecting persons who were under the other nurse's care. You seem to take no responsibility for your own issues, which you have publicly...

    Resident's family wanted to discharge AMA at 10:00 PM Sunday night!

    Hoosier_RN replied to smartypants22's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Most persons are admitted with PT/OT orders, so that seems like a failure. And did they think you should just give them a w/c? Those jokers aren't cheap. More things I noticed. Some hospital/MD, some...

    Nurses forced to stop med pass

    Hoosier_RN replied to Kinzie21's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Could some of the meds get a time adjustment? It's what we did at the facility that I work for (we have broad time range now instead of a rigid set in stone time). It's helped out immensely. Just a...
