  1. Frustrated with SIL care

    clee1 replied to dekatn's topic in General Nursing

    The current administration, the last administration, most previous administrations, and the next several administrations are ALL bought and paid for by corporate interests. You could write the...

  2. Frustrated with SIL care

    clee1 replied to dekatn's topic in General Nursing

    Keep advocating for your SIL. I am not a proponent of our currently litigeous society, but the only way these facilities are going to learn not to keep understaffing is to get the shizzle sued out of...

  3. Hippa Regulation???

    clee1 replied to Joeleen's topic in General Nursing

    I think you were actually OK during this conversation. You did not give out any medical specific info; just that you were there when he was there and that you had spoken to him. You did not disclose...

    clee1 replied to cinja's topic in General Nursing

    60 Minutes????? Have you lost your mind? Or have you merely forgotten the "fake but accurate"

  5. Georgia Wages

    clee1 replied to Sweetiepie1497's topic in Georgia Nursing

    CNAs make about $8/hr to start in LTC or ALF. In hospitals IF you can find a spot pay about $10/hr with additional shift diff on top of that. I say IF because CNA/PCT jobs in hospitals are few and far...

  6. Professional Misconduct

    clee1 replied to bertita's topic in General Nursing

    You are out of line, IMHO. Keep a copy if it is that important to you. There are already too many prima donnas in the hospital, and a clerk with temper issues ranks at the bottom of the totem

  8. Any tips on self-confidence? HELP!!!

    clee1 replied to Angelfish1234's topic in General Nursing

    Confidence has two components: external perception and internalized (or self) confident actions/emotions. External perception is easy: Be decisive, knowledgeable, skillfull - or fake it as necessary....

  10. nursing a calling?

    clee1 replied to hTx87's topic in General Nursing

    Not a "calling" per se to me. However, while I am going into the field for non-altruistic reasons, I do feel that I have a caring nature and the right emotional and cognitive makeup for the...

  11. kicked out of school- failed professionalism!

    clee1 replied to m_lanham's topic in General Nursing

    My NS has taken GREAT pains to make crystal-clear that we are in clinical sites to a) OBSERVE working nurses to see the practical application of our didactic education, and b) to practice whatever...

  12. When do you plan to retire?

    clee1 replied to Drysolong's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 38 and in NS for my second career. Due to sound financial planning and a highly-paid 1st career (while being single with inexpensive tastes), my retirement is already fully funded. All I have to...

  14. Makes you wonder about NCLEX boards now

    clee1 replied to rjflyn's topic in General Nursing

  16. Makes you wonder about NCLEX boards now

    clee1 replied to rjflyn's topic in General Nursing

    Who cares as to the why of it? My view is that such important tests MUST be carefully audited for scoring errors. People's futures are at

    clee1 replied to awilhelm's topic in Men in Nursing

    :yeahthat: Bingo! Why is it that I get the feeling I'm going to offend lots of docs and/or

  18. Male + Nurse = Murse

    clee1 replied to awilhelm's topic in Men in Nursing

    This bothers me already.... When I pass the NCLEX, I will be a "nurse" that happens to be a male. A "Male nurse" sounds like like a nurse that works with male pts only. Is a "baby nurse" a nurse that...

  19. Smoking around child w/resp. problems

    clee1 replied to WVUturtle514's topic in General Nursing

    Mark me down as a smoker that does NOT smoke in the house, in the car when ANYONE else is present, etc. My addiction is my addiction.... and I was raised to believe that it isn't right to force others...

  22. How do I overcome shyness?

    clee1 replied to benette's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In the final analysis, the only person you can ever truly be is yourself. You can no more change your natural attitudes/behaviors overnight than a leopard can change its spots. If I understand you...

    clee1 replied to Future_RN_Kamaria's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Keep the bat on the ball field.... carry a large caliber handgun! Seriously though, Dunwoody is not too bad - mostly businesses and upscale homes/apartments. Further recommendation... stay OUTSIDE...
