  2. Funniest thing a new nurse said/charted/asked...

    clee1 replied to RN12345656's topic in Nursing Humor

    Amen, brother. I'm the class-clown type.... I hope it doesn't get me into too much

  3. Criminal Record in US and Canada?

    clee1 replied to nurseahoy2's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Tazzi... that's good info to know. My crime was in Louisiana, and I now live/plan to license in Georgia (where my attorney said not to disclose), and possibly one of the compact states as...

  4. Conflicts of Interest in Vaccine Policy Making

    clee1 replied to indigo girl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I learned a long time ago that if you "follow the money" you won't go too far wrong in your assessment of publik/goobermental policy. "Government by the People for the People...." ; don't make me...

  5. Medicare coverage out patient IV antibiotic

    clee1 replied to grannynurse FNP student's topic in General Nursing

    From www.medicare.gov Medicare Part B covers medically necessary services you get as an outpatient from a Medicare-participating hospital for diagnosis or treatment of an illness or injury. Covered...

  6. Criminal Record in US and Canada?

    clee1 replied to nurseahoy2's topic in General Nursing

    The process here is also (and more properly) known as "expungement". What this means is: the records are "sealed" (or distroyed outright) and NO mention EVER can be made from official sources...

  7. The geniuses in Engineering

    clee1 replied to TiffyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh Lord! Has everyone in the healthcare industry, systemically, forgotten the patients? That patient's needs are NOT interruptions of their work but are the reason for it in the first place?...

  8. A Fellow Nurse Called Her Patient an A......

    clee1 replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    100% agreement here. I can't help but think that many of the issues in the profession have been made worse by silence in the

  9. A Fellow Nurse Called Her Patient an A......

    clee1 replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto that! You never know when the straw that breaks the camel's back will fall; then this disgrace to the profession will get her

  10. Protecting my license/patients now paranoid.........

    clee1 replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed... and I didn't take it as such.

  11. Protecting my license/patients now paranoid.........

    clee1 replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    All valid points; well taken; and will be considered. There IS such a thing as conservation of ammo and "keeping your powder dry". Thanks for reminding me of that. However, as to the last point of...

  12. banking and credit union specifically for nurses

    TIAA-CREF for investments,

  13. Protecting my license/patients now paranoid.........

    clee1 replied to grinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you, grinnurse! I am still in school, but my instructors and preceptors in clinicals all tell me I am going to be a good nurse. I tell you this, though. Previous life experience has told me...

  14. Recomend a good math book for sharpening up

    clee1 replied to girlgonstupidnca's topic in General Nursing

    Really, the only "math" you need are the basic four functions: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Some fractions and decimal conversions will also be helpful. Memorization (or a...

  15. Trouble with Narcan

    clee1 replied to mellomom's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the tips r/t seizures! I'd left that tidbit buried deep in the recesses of my brain. Man, that would have sucked to push narcan for the first time as a nurse and have my pt sz unexpectedly!...

  16. How should I handle this??

    clee1 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    100% agreed. If EVERYONE, MDs, Nurses, Aides, Techs, etc. would ALL just realize that we are being PAID to do a job - take care of the patient - then everyone would be better off, and our facilities...

  17. Colorado Board of Nursing Puts On Line All Nurses Home Addresses

    clee1 replied to Teachingnurrse's topic in General Nursing

    I've got news for you: If I know your full name and current city, I can find out just about anything I want to know about you. Privacy? Just an illusion in the Information Age. However, it really...

  18. Trouble with Narcan

    clee1 replied to mellomom's topic in General Nursing

    Uh huh. I still chuckle about it everytime I see an obvious drug-seeker in an ER. I've never had to have IV opioids, but I have had some large doses of hydrocodone PO post a root-canal gone bad; If...

  19. Trouble with Narcan

    clee1 replied to mellomom's topic in General Nursing

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Yup! At an ER I was a tech at (MANY yrs ago), we had one of our frequent flyers come in with a nasty 8" long laceration to his thigh. Of course, he acted like he was dying;...

  20. Trouble with Narcan

    clee1 replied to mellomom's topic in General Nursing

    Uh huh.... You see this ALL THE TIME in an ER. An OD comes in, you push narcan, they come back almost immediately and BOY are they pizzed

  21. nursing students for choice

    clee1 replied to vegetarian_goddess's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree. I'm a full time student, a full time employee, and I have a family. I have absolutely NO time to spare for other issues; especially one who's goals are already a

  22. How should I handle this??

    clee1 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    My take is a little different. While I agree with some of the previous posts r/t CNAs can't do nurse's work, while nurses CAN do CNA duties as time permits, for me it boils down simply as this: CNAs...

  23. nursing students for choice

    clee1 replied to vegetarian_goddess's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My question is: What's the point? I'm pro-life personally, but not nearly as rabid about it as fgreen obviously is. Also, I have no desire to impose my personal views on anyone else. The most vocal...
