    General Nursing Melting Pot

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I see DaveyDo put me next to covid...that's how I got it! The ISDH and I have wracked our collective brains trying to figure it out ? Through all contact tracing, we've never been able to figure...

    allnurses' netiquette

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Some people are just jerks, and love drama, and the creation thereof. Also, there's the safety and anonymity of the keyboard, which gives some the cajones to act out like they normally wouldn't if...

    How to Respond When Family Blames You for Patient Dying

    Hoosier_RN replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing

    It's sad when it ends like that. When there's denial, comfort (hospice) is delayed. The patient suffers even more. Sadly, staff is sometimes relieved when bad behavior by a family member makes care...

    Do people exaggerate with the “nursing is a catty field” comments or is that legit?

    Hoosier_RN replied to cookie123d's topic in General Nursing

    Catty folks exist everywhere. It's not limited to healthcare by any

    How to Respond When Family Blames You for Patient Dying

    Hoosier_RN replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing

    years ago, in my first job, ER, a gangbanger (yes, he was well known in the community, I'm being factual) was brought in, DOA with over 20 GSWs. Mom came in screaming that we didn't save her innocent...

    Do nurses with suspended licenses or on probation due to drugs seem to end up working in dialysis clinics?

    Hoosier_RN replied to CoThG's topic in General Nursing

    You actually said that they go there to chill. Your exact statement. 1 hour ago, CoThG said: I already know the "dirty laundry". It's public knowledge. I was asking if dialysis is...

    Hoosier_RN replied to CoThG's topic in General Nursing

    The OPs comments have burned me a bit, when it sounds as if they have no clue about the nurse's issues, other than license status. This is one of those proverbial pot stirrers who need to lick the...

    Do nurses with suspended licenses or on probation due to drugs seem to end up working in dialysis clinics?

    Hoosier_RN replied to CoThG's topic in General Nursing

    No, no licensure needed. There is a certification that they need to achieve by 18 months. That being said, your comment of dialysis being a haven for nurses with drug issues is offensive. I have...

    Do nurses with suspended licenses or on probation due to drugs seem to end up working in dialysis clinics?

    Hoosier_RN replied to CoThG's topic in General Nursing

    If he has a suspended license, I don't see how he's working anywhere as a nurse. Dialysis clinics don't administer any narcotics, it's why they can be friendly to recovering nurses. Some areas...

    The fact that it flows. It fills my helper spirit. As far as heathcare jobs go, dialysis clinics can be hectic. But after years of acute, hh/hospice, and especially LTC, it's an ebb and flow hectic....

    Unfortunately, at least in Indiana, home health does not provide x2 assist for hoyer transfers. You will get better with it in time. Always double, and triple, check that the patient is secure prior...

    Why do RN's avoid LTC positions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to amyca's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Unfortunately, as we both know, most in the positions to do anything helpful, are paid very well to turn a blind eye. I visited a friend in Georgia a couple of years ago, her sister is a...

    Why do RN's avoid LTC positions?

    Hoosier_RN replied to amyca's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Unless it is them or one of their own, they won't. I'm talking about legislators, boards of nursing, policy makers. But those folks can usually afford to go the private route. I agree, it's not...
