  1. Quitting My Job: Returning My ID Badge- Should I be Petty?

    Ms_Interpret replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    The amount of flair you imbue your pettiness with is entirely up to you

  2. Quitting My Job: Returning My ID Badge- Should I be Petty?

    Ms_Interpret replied to sideshowstarlet's topic in General Nursing

    FedEx the badge to the facility ATTN: whoever is making this ridiculous request. Then email her the tracking number.

  3. Monster Med Passes

    Ms_Interpret posted a topic in General Nursing

    What's the largest number of patients you have passed meds on in a shift. I recently took a break from ICU and took a foray into Corrections. They do 8 hour shifts. I'm the sole nurse on evening...

  4. Monster Med Passes

    Ms_Interpret replied to Ms_Interpret's topic in General Nursing

    Having worked in Med/Surg, ICU, and Skilled hospital units myself, I will say that after these Corrections med passes, hospital med passes feel like a leisurely stroll through the unit. The only thing...

  5. Monster Med Passes

    Ms_Interpret replied to Ms_Interpret's topic in General Nursing

    It says "keep on rolling" not "keep eye rolling." 84 is pretty well up there. You never know just how possible something is until you actually do it, sometimes. Maybe not fun. Maybe not leisurely or...

  6. Monster Med Passes

    Ms_Interpret replied to Ms_Interpret's topic in General Nursing

    *Shrug* Maybe. I'm not sure what it is you're wanting me to tell you, but I don't really want to spend a lot of time convincing you that what you believe is impossible is possible. You're definitely...

  7. Monster Med Passes

    Ms_Interpret replied to Ms_Interpret's topic in General Nursing

    The facility that I work in does not have that kind of history. The majority of nurses in my facility have been employed there for a decade or

    Ms_Interpret replied to Ms_Interpret's topic in General Nursing

    I think some experience in corrections nursing is necessary for your full

    Ms_Interpret replied to Ms_Interpret's topic in General Nursing

    Every job has it's advantages and disadvantages. You take the good with the bad and keep on

  10. Monster Med Passes

    Ms_Interpret replied to Ms_Interpret's topic in General Nursing

    Corrections is a little different from Med/Surg or hospital nursing. I don't do assessments on these patients unless the patient is newly locked down or there is a medical emergency. They aren't...

  11. Exhausted; I want a way out.

    Ms_Interpret replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    The kind of personality/person who is predisposed to being in nursing often has a difficult time saying, "No." Learn to. It is an essential life

  12. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Ms_Interpret replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that she reconstituted it makes me think she knew good and well that she wasn't giving versed. I'm not ruling out the possibility that this was a sabotage attempt aimed at the nurse she was...

  13. Contract buyout?

    Ms_Interpret posted a topic in Travel

    I'm on my first travel assignment and the facility has approached me a few times to consider signing on as permanent staff. There has been made mention of buying out my contract. What would that...

  14. Furnished Finder deal too good to be true??

    Ms_Interpret replied to domiciad's topic in Travel

    Much as we might like to, I don't think anyone here can plausibly promise you protection from being defrauded by some random person of furnished finder. There are no guarantees in life. Take the...

  15. Canceled Contract

    Ms_Interpret replied to nja06's topic in Travel

    Missed opportunity for ideal communication..Both on your part and on the part of your agency. Knowing that you are fairly new to travel nursing, the agency could have given you a heads up when you all...

  16. Hospital cancelled my contract due to inexperience...

    Ms_Interpret replied to BeccaroseRN's topic in Travel

    I don't take your hostility personally. It doesn't bother me because I don't hold it. You hold it. It is your hostility, not mine. I know it existed long before I ever entered your sphere of influence...

  17. Hospital cancelled my contract due to inexperience...

    Ms_Interpret replied to BeccaroseRN's topic in Travel

    I can't even begin to understand why it bothers you so much that someone you don't even know might have the audacity to forge their own path without first heeding or acknowledging your priceless, sage...

  18. Hospital cancelled my contract due to inexperience...

    Ms_Interpret replied to BeccaroseRN's topic in Travel

    Once again, I am not beholden to you in any way and so unfortunately your opinion means very little to me. I have a feeling that that is difficult for you to hear because you have shown that you value...

  19. Hospital cancelled my contract due to inexperience...

    Ms_Interpret replied to BeccaroseRN's topic in Travel

    Of course. Nothing is always true. It's the expectation, but reality has a habit of falling short of expectation. But the reason expectations, policies, procedures and guidelines exist is to have...

    Ms_Interpret replied to BeccaroseRN's topic in Travel

    I think you need a hug. Emergent, you should give klone a

  21. Hospital cancelled my contract due to inexperience...

    Ms_Interpret replied to BeccaroseRN's topic in Travel

    If you ask a question you already know the answer to, it's a rhetorical question. And the reason most often used for asking a rhetorical question is to cast aspersions on a participant in a...

  22. Hospital cancelled my contract due to inexperience...

    Ms_Interpret replied to BeccaroseRN's topic in Travel

    The agency is responsible for vetting each candidate based on the facility's needs and expectations. The nurse's qualifications are assessed before the contract is even offered, generally. If the...

  23. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Ms_Interpret replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Truth is, the Cheetos are less likely to burn a hole in your stomach lining than the 4th Diet Coke you had

  24. Fired for taking vacation

    Ms_Interpret replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    I have no doubt that you are an authority on rudeness and therefore have full sovereignty to assert this belief. And by my standards, this post meets all the criteria for utmost rudeness that could...

  25. Transitioning to day shift!

    Ms_Interpret replied to BlueShoes12's topic in General Nursing

    This probably won't work for everybody, but here's what I'd do: 1. Stay up until the sun comes up. 2. Walk to the kitchen and start a pot of coffee. 3. Go into the bathroom and start the water for...
