  1. Potential new employer trying to rush me into accepting job offer.

    Just me. replied to sjukskoterska2020's topic in General Nursing

    I remember as a new grad that I turned down a position at a local hospital and stayed with LTC. That was just in case I didn't pass... Don't get me wrong I loved the residents, but I regret I didn't...

  2. CoWorker using a patient's medication

    Just me. replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I thought that this was a mentoring part of the website. There are some responses that are straight forward, but done in a kind way. I am sorry that you dislike my comments, but that is how I...

  3. CoWorker using a patient's medication

    Just me. replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am fairly new to this site, and there is a disturbing trend. This need for some responders to accuse the OPs of this and that. In this case the OP may have a strong sense of what is right and...

  4. Treating an ex family member

    Just me. replied to nurse_lime's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not judging you, honest. In fact, my heart goes out to you. I know you will learn from this. When you meet with your employer, ask them if you should resign, that will help you

  5. Treating an ex family member

    Just me. replied to nurse_lime's topic in General Nursing

    I feel a mistake was made. However, some of the above mentioned remarks are mean spirited. "Hippy" was probably auto correct. Just as an example. And "...no skin off my nose." And none of us can...

  6. Stressed LPN

    Just me. replied to Tinamae's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I did Ltc, it was 1 nurse to 42 patients. It was a tough job, but when I worked 3-11 pm, it got worse. The nurse had to do Assessments, vitals, insulins, inhalers, g-tubes, helping with feeding...

  8. I need guidance

    Just me. replied to vanilla_brownie's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is the hardest job I've ever had. For me its a love/hate relationship. I've questioned numerous times, is this for me? I still question it 20 years later, why do I do this to myself? In...

  9. How do you deal with 5th disease and rashes at your school?

    Just me. replied to NurseAlice's topic in School

    Don't feel badly about not knowing the rashes. Ive seen many a. ED doctor looking up rashes. I only know 1 NP that can usually id at a glance. Great advice given to follow

  10. Can’t a nurse be fired?

    Just me. replied to Barbara Fouch Lentz's topic in General Nursing

    Getting side tracked, but no facility is perfect. I have worked in LTC and acute care settings. I have been the nurse to receive a patient who went to the hospital and returned with a necrotic...

  11. Can’t a nurse be fired?

    Just me. replied to Barbara Fouch Lentz's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately it may not always be achieved, but does not mean it is not expected by management. As a nursing home nurse, I had a clip board for turning and positioning that I was expected to fill...

  12. Can’t a nurse be fired?

    Just me. replied to Barbara Fouch Lentz's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the same thing, I was thinking back to BLS? somewhere about choosing not to initiate cpr when rigor mortis had set in. I was thinking it was suspension for not discovering the situation...

  13. LVN not wanted

    Just me. replied to Susycute's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't work in your area of nursing, and I know vaccine schedules are different. Did they come in for school vaccines? I know for example my daughter got her tdap vaccine at the end of the school...

  14. What area/nursing specialty do you prefer?

    Just me. replied to IamaNurse001's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you love it. ? Ortho was part of my Med-surg experience. I don't think I could ever do it again. Someone has to love

  15. At a crossroads

    Just me. posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse for 18 years ( actually more like 20). I've worked in the same hospital for 16 years. I've worked in my current department for about 11 years. I've always had anxiety about...

  16. I think I made my first mistake..

    Just me. replied to Courtforshort27's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Was this an older person? Was he on swallow precautions? Take deep breath, no pun intended, I appreciate that you advocated for your patient. None of us are perfect and certainly don't know...

  17. At a crossroads

    Just me. replied to Just me.'s topic in General Nursing

    I had a job interview yesterday. I understand that every job will have its own turmoul. It is much closer to home, but a pay cut. No weekends. I feel strongly I need a fresh

  18. Advice needed!

    Just me. replied to Sparkle9212's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    "Nursy" what you say is true. I have run into some of the CNAs and some still work there, 16 years

  19. Bad orientation should I leave

    Just me. replied to Didizain's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't find where it said how long you have been a nurse for. Some newer nurses that worked in my department were techs in the dept before applying for a nurse position. Some made it and some...

  20. CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    Just me. replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    Or a dropper? I saw the procedure done a few years ago when I did a very short stent in the post-pardum area. They didn't even use tylenol, it was glucose of sorts delivered with a pacifier like...

  21. CST drew up and administered medication....and it was wrong amount

    Just me. replied to Alyk3309's topic in General Nursing

    "Drew it up" it sounds like it was given IV." I don't think she meant that, probably a multidose bottle or medicine cup and a syringe like mechanism was used to draw it up. I saw a few...

  22. What area/nursing specialty do you prefer?

    Just me. replied to IamaNurse001's topic in General Nursing

    If you loved med-surg go back to it. Do you have to take a refresher course, your clinicals may help you

    Just me. replied to Joe V's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Let me know if you can spot what is going

  24. Why did I give the med before surgery?

    Just me. replied to coffeeandpiano's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thank you for clarifying my ill communicated thought, assumption of pre-op med

  25. At a crossroads

    Just me. replied to Just me.'s topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mean my child is not effected by the drinking, of that I am aware. And yes that is what I'm saying, the stress at home is effecting how I respond to adversity at work. So yes, it is a...
