  1. Corrections on TV

    VegRN replied to texascowgirl's topic in Correctional

    oh yeah, I love those shows

  2. Any nurses here date the officers?

    VegRN replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in Correctional

    No way! I have heard that has happened in the past at my institution but I have not seem it. The officers that aren't too old/too young/married are generally not datable for other

  3. Accusations of Patient Abuse

    VegRN replied to MisMatch's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, you were the first singled out but I doubt you will be the last. I really don't think anyone should be going in her room alone after she is accusing people of abuse. Allegations of abuse are...

  4. Are RNs under the supervision of physicians?

    VegRN replied to SiempreBella's topic in General Nursing

    I think if a nurse worked in a dr's office or somehow for the physician then yes, the nurse would be under the supervision of the physician. However, if a nurse works in a hospital, they are under...

  5. lazy mean assistants

    VegRN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    They are only working very, very hard if they are actually working. Talking on their cell phone, holding up the desk and being nowhere to be found don't count. Add that all together with harassment,...

  6. expert opinions please

    VegRN replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in Correctional

    Wow NancyKday, you are good! My tips for fake unconsciousness are.....sternal rub followed by nailbed pressure followed by opening eyes and blowing or touching q -tip. If they pass that, try an arm...

    VegRN replied to Butternut's topic in General Nursing

    hmmmm...I bet you work nights. Based on what you are saying in this post I bet you work nights and feel hurt by what you think is being said. Because nights just neeeever complains about days,...

  8. Safe Staffing, long but pls read

    VegRN replied to oualie20's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Ok, you may not like this but, your staffing doesn't sound that bad compared to places I have worked at. 6-7 pts per nurse on a night shift with PCT's and a few sitters. I have heard far worse...

  9. What to do?(LONG)

    VegRN replied to vikingrn's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, here is a little constructive criticism so, don't flame me. 1) oftentimes the nurse that the pt loves may not have anything to do with how good of nursing care they are providing. So, you may...

  10. Help me, I am African Amercian male nurse

    VegRN replied to PurifiedH2O's topic in General Nursing

    My honest work experience with male nurses. Now mind you this is just the ones I have come into contact with. The ones I have come into contact with tend to not feel it is their job to bath pts,...

  11. Need teaching materials for IM VG injections.

    VegRN replied to CrunchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should recommend to her that she file a complaint with the drs office about her lack of education in her medication administration. Hello, no instructions? There is a reason that we give...

  12. "Free" Healthcare in Canada?!?!

    VegRN replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in International Nursing

  13. Irritating coworker -RANT

    VegRN replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in Correctional

    She sounds like a trashy individual, in fact I bet a good portion of the inmates show more class and self respect than her. And thats saying a lot. Have you gotten a feel for what the higher ups...

  14. Disgusted with my behavior, need help

    VegRN replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    Are they feeling you ignored their assessment or that you didn't do what they wanted you to do for the treatment/plan of action for their assessment? If it truely was that they felt you were...

  15. lazy co-workers

    VegRN replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you could have just described my day. I really thought about walking out today. I am so sick of crazy and lazy with an attitude CNA's. Fortunately there are more good ones than bad but the...

  16. Forced feeding

    VegRN replied to 2003rn's topic in Correctional

    hhahahahahhaah....that is a funny

  17. Forced feeding

    VegRN replied to 2003rn's topic in Correctional

    What do you mean you "have been unable to find an Md that will do it"? Do what? Drop the tube? Sign the order? Can you clarify? If you don't feel comfortable dropping the tube, how about getting an...

  18. what would you do?

    VegRN replied to CRNI-ICU20's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problem here is that the Dr requested that the nurse document that he called and...that the underlying meaning of this was that that was the only assessment/documentation that the Md was...

  19. tough being a patient advocate

    VegRN replied to nurse0541's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain, I am in a similar situation. It is not easy to tell the truth as the other poster indicated. I have attempted to improve the level of care at my institution for several years to...

  20. Highest nursing salary

    VegRN replied to Nursebarebari's topic in General Nursing

    I am in one of the top ranking states after the "cost of living adjustment"- and I make 10K more than the "average nursing salary". I knew I was

  21. Prison Nursing....Is it safe?

    VegRN replied to kanidoit2's topic in Correctional

    Is this the standard? Nurses having to refrain from reporting an officer for abusing an inmate, in order to protect their own safety?? The facility I work at jumps when the nurses have a complaint...

  22. Guess the mispronounced medical term

    VegRN replied to EricJRN's topic in General Nursing

    what about a pts family member talking about how the pt was "incubated" i.e

  23. Prison Nursing....Is it safe?

    VegRN replied to kanidoit2's topic in Correctional

    Maybe I am the only one that doesn't know what this means but, can you please explain

  24. Prison Nursing....Is it safe?

    VegRN replied to kanidoit2's topic in Correctional

    Like I always say, safer in there than on the outside. I have worked med surg for many years as well as corrections and still do both. The times I was swung at, threatened, swore at etc all occurred...

  25. Advise needed for a PA who breaks the rules

    VegRN replied to uraqt2's topic in Correctional

    I am assuming there isn't approval by the director for the med. You COULD give the med and document the conversations you had with management and the policies but, bottom line is, you know better and...
