  1. BS 94, Lantus 20 units, give HS snack?

    knotizer12 replied to knotizer12's topic in General Nursing

    Giving HS snacks is not part of our protocol UNLESS it's giving a snack, like OJ, to a hypoglycemic

  2. Being rehired after not giving s 2 week notice.

    knotizer12 replied to Nursedee1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have worked a few places that I did not care for in the slightest but I still gave my two weeks. The main reason is because I don't want a potential new employer to call my old boss and be told I am...

  3. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    knotizer12 replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree with you 100%. I'm not going to do it. Maybe that makes me a bad nurse, but it's my license. I'm just "summing up" the general tone of the

  4. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    knotizer12 replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Alright so it sounds to me like the general consensus is that I am in the clear if I offer MY OWN OTC medications when asked. But giving house stock is a big "no no". Thanks for everything, you

  6. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    knotizer12 replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't appreciate you assuming anything about me (unless you're quoting someone). I'm simply asking for advise and I'm only worried about my license. EDIT: please ignore the post below this one. My...

    knotizer12 replied to jupiter_rising's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHAHA when state comes and they are all running over the floor to show "we all work together" but as soon as state steps foot outside the building it's "ok back to my office you got

  8. Nurses are people too

    knotizer12 replied to jupiter_rising's topic in General Nursing

    Really? It's sad that I can totally believe that. I bet one of their rationales is "oh well these nurses won't mind because they are altruistic and will do anything for the

  9. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    knotizer12 replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah I realize I was very unclear and I also just realized I was very unclear on Facebook and that's why my old CNA coworker attacked me. But I think that shows a bit of entitlement on her

  10. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    knotizer12 replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Since I only work at this LTC facility once or twice a week, I do not know the aides and other nurses that well. Because of this, I really don't feel comfortable giving any kind of medication to...

  11. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    knotizer12 replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks for the input, everyone. I really appreciate it. I guess I should specify: I am talking about giving the HOUSE stock (as in belongs to the company) OTC meds to aides and other coworkers. Sounds...

    Thanks for the replies, all! What would you do if the aide or coworker starts having a reaction and all the heat came down on you for giving them the

  14. Men working in Clinics

    knotizer12 replied to Brnd-RN-1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I work at a clinic right now. The job posting was LPN/CMA. I also tech for our endoscopy center once or twice a week. We are part of a union and the contract is online; I found out I as a starting LPN...

  15. Low salary same work

    knotizer12 replied to Tiabluesky's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, as a new grad, you don't have a whole lot of "pull" when negotiating salary. That being said, I would still advise you to do it. Also think about what kind of skills you can learn at this job...
