    Any recommendations for liability / malpractice insurance?

    Hoosier_RN replied to BSN_Brittany_2021's topic in General Nursing

    It was part of my nursing ethics class a million years ago. They never recommended a particular company, but stressed the importance of

    Floor Staff Pre Pulling Medications

    Hoosier_RN replied to NurseEe1's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I did it without pre pulling as well. It's not easy for sure, but it is do-able, especially after you get a

    Epic Charting with Two Middle Names

    Hoosier_RN replied to AMKARN's topic in General Nursing

    There may be a limitation on how many characters and spaces may be used. It will vary by what your employer has it set to. But, in saying that, the electronic signature that it's putting on your...

    Geographical Error

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I just got done with a book about US Grant by Brett Baier. It was one of those off the wall finds. I loved it! I love history, and real life writings...fiction is okay, just not my

    Geographical Error

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Not unless they went a ways. The Ohio and Wabash join, then empty into the Mississippi down at the southeast corner of Missouri if I'm not mistaken. So if it was found there, someone sure carried it a...

    Back to the bedside

    Hoosier_RN replied to Guest1030824's topic in General Nursing

    Just apply, and reach out to previous managers and coworkers. If you've moved, reach out for a letter of recommendation, if you're in the area, reach out for job leads. Good luck on your search!...

    3 possible job options, cannot decide and need insight!

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

    Yep, I meant to add that as well. If OP can afford it, take the Dr office

    3 possible job options, cannot decide and need insight!

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

    Avoid the LTC, pay isn't everything. Holidays and weekends will definitely be on the menu, as it's a 24/7 business. I'd go the Dr office. Lower pay, but holidays and weekends for your

    I'm glad you posted this, but the site I was thinking of listed all 50 states. At least by you posting this, I'm glad I wasn't hallucinating! See the above. Again, I will try to find...

    Hoosier_RN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Currently, that is the situation. Prior to covid, there was a website (if anyone remembers the site, please feel free to add it). Most states were showing a projected overage by 2025, and it took into...

    Vaccination Mandating

    Hoosier_RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I addressed that in my comment, very 1st paragraph stating that I understand the difference....again, if we refuse care to ANYONE for ANY disease, it could become any disease/disorder next. I realize...

    Vaccination Mandating

    Hoosier_RN replied to Ariemay82's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay, so then anyone who is diabetic who goes into DKA shouldn't go to the hospital because of their diet, smoker who has exacerbation of COPD shouldn't, or dialysis patient who consistently has high...

    I'm Done

    Hoosier_RN replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There really wasn't a nursing shortage before covid, there was a shortage of experienced nurses willing to put up with the stupidity at newbie wages. There was also deliberate short staffing by...

    Is it wrong to ask for a raise?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, but I have been on here long enough. I've called SB out more than once on the ridiculousness of their comments. A couple of others are giving sympathy and the whole 9 yards, this was my sarcastic...

    Is it wrong to ask for a raise?

    Hoosier_RN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering where are the DON and ADON? Other licensed nurses? I mean, c'mon, she is not the only licensed entity in that building! What happens if she has an emergency, like hospitalization or...

    Anyone get their Booster yet?

    Hoosier_RN replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I got mine yesterday, felt nothing, just like the first 2 rounds. I woke up this morning with a 104.3 temp, dizzy, blurred vision, teeth chattering so hard that hubby thought I was going to break off...

    I Know What Abuse Is; I Have Lived Through It

    Hoosier_RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    From a sister who's been there, I understand. I still cringe when people touch me. In general, I'm a recluse, and don't miss socializing a whole lot. I've had therapy, and although remarried, I don't...

    Broke My HCA Contract

    Hoosier_RN replied to Lrjames98's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this mostly, but a simple search of this site and many groups on FB, reddit, and a few others show what a crap heap the HCA organization is. Whether new grad or seasoned nurse, you should...
