    Commuting to clinicals from 1 hr away??

    Luchador replied to nursingstudentwannabe's topic in General Students

    Done that too. I'm in Colorado and when it looked like a blizzard was hitting my town, but not where I had to drive to, I'd get a cheap hotel the night before near the hospital-- thus avoiding...

    Commuting to clinicals from 1 hr away??

    Luchador replied to nursingstudentwannabe's topic in General Students

    My commute so some clinical sites is 1.5 hrs. I have to get up at 4 to be there by 6. You can record lectures from class and listen to them. Spotify on the phone and a Bluetooth gizmo in the car are...

    Luchador replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    When I had a knee operation the surgeon signed the correct knee with a big sharpie and then had a witness as I signed the correct knee. Then they gave me ketamine and it was amazing. "Never event"...

    Wow, Vanderbilt seems top notch. When you have numerous "never events" should we stop calling them "never" and just start saying, "meh. . . that's

    Can’t cope with death, should I even go to nursing school?

    Luchador replied to danielle0206's topic in General Students

    If being around gravely sick people and folks that are in their last few weeks of life bother you--- yes, you should find a different field. Makes about as much sense as somebody who is terrified of...

    Do I have to disclose mental illness

    Luchador replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    But how would they find out short of a subpoena for medical records? And if they have a good enough reason to do that, no doubt the individual is in deep, deep trouble

    Do I have to disclose mental illness

    Luchador replied to NurseChaiPls's topic in General Nursing

    I can't think of many "pertinent" mental health histories-- addiction; that's about it. Paranoid Schizophrenia, I suppose, too. But depression? PTSD? Bi-Polar? No way Short of a subpoena, how...

    Interesting case of the spilled pills

    Luchador replied to KCMnurse's topic in General Nursing

    The article says the physician was also disciplined. I couldn't find any information on what form that took. How did the pharmacist dodge the regulatory slap? What a bunch of buffoons-- the lot of...

    Interesting case of the spilled pills

    Luchador replied to KCMnurse's topic in General Nursing

    He wouldn't lose. And it's not frivolous. The case is a slam dunk. They fished pills out of a bloody sharps container, clearly endangering him and none of that can be contested. It's just that the...

    Interesting case of the spilled pills

    Luchador replied to KCMnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Part of suing a person or institution is showing damages. Since nothing happened to the prisoner he can't really show any damages. So he could clearly win the lawsuit, but how much money is awarded...

    Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    Luchador replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    I just downloaded a free ap on my phone. I sit near the front of the class and it does fine. If you sit farther away you might need an actual recorder. I'm not an auditory learner, but it really does...

    BSN transferring to LPN program?

    BSN transferring to LPN program?

    Luchador replied to nursetobequestionmark's topic in General Students

    It's incredibly thoughtless of you to spout off your Christian clap-trap unsolicited without knowing anything about the op. She could be a Muslim, a Hindu, a Wiccan or an atheist. Maybe you can't...

    BSN transferring to LPN program?

    Luchador replied to nursetobequestionmark's topic in General Students

    I've met several LPNs that were in an RN program and needed to take a break for a number of reasons and planned on going back to be an RN. Twenty years later, they are still an LPN. Don't take a...

    Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    Luchador replied to MgoBlue37's topic in General Nursing

    When I did my rotations at a prison the corrections RNs were able to do their jobs while frequently sitting. For example, the med line was hours long, but one nurse had a big cushy stool she was able...
