1. PDN *forced* to document off the clock

   RenaissanceNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   I need some input. Legal, ethical, etc... My agency has a -- subpar, mostly unknown -- documentation app employees are required to download, on their personal mobile device, preferably cell phone. HUGE PIA, #1 due to the unceasing APP and mobile...

2. Experienced LPN picking up shifts in C-19+ Nursing Home.

   RenaissanceNurse posted a topic in COVID

   PREFACE: I'm confident that I'll do just fine for the 24 hours that I'm filling in for, but given that I'm not an epidemiologist or seer, I'd love any real-life advice or tips that might come in helpful. I have an unused KN95 and N95 mask (gowns and...

3. What kind of seizure is this??

   RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

   I'd like to apoligize for not responding to my frantic inquiry about seizures...end result, Mom had no idea that an EEG had recently been done, showing seriously mixed results. Follow up appt was quite confusing, and embarassing enough for Mom to req...

4. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

   RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

   OP here. As I posted, more than 2 weeks ago, my suspicions were accurate. The line between healthy boundaries/guardedness and paranoia are razor thin for those of us with C/PTSD...and I have to live with it every day of my life. On a good day it can ...

5. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

   RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

   And if that's your only input, you sure are nosy, offering unsolicited and unnecessary commentary...for what purpose? I'm asking you -- and your 14 "likes" -- to leave me alone. I fully understand this is a public forum and you have every right to po...

   RenaissanceNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   HELP! Family going from personal caregiver to licensed -- a major transition in itself -- for severely cognitively and developmentally delayed 8 y/o, non-genetic, only affected triplet. My 6 hours of "orientation" was interesting. Client takes sever...

7. Is this a hostile work environment?

   RenaissanceNurse replied to PlS82's topic in General Nursing

   I mean no sarcasm, but is English your second language? Your post is still a bit hard to nail down. Anyway, it sounds like you've involuntarily resigned, so that's good. Have you consulted an attorney? Your (EEOC) investigator may have insinuated th...

8. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

   RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

   Agreed, hence the reason I called it an issue. My BS radar is detecting some "gotta have the last word."?❤️

9. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

   RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

   Come to find out, she's not. She was hired to room patients and is now "HBiC." The absence of an actual "Nurse Manager" -- with a college degree, often BSN, these days -- is the issue.

10. CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

    RenaissanceNurse replied to RenaissanceNurse's topic in General Nursing

    (PREFACE: Quoted stuff is nearly verbatim, other stuff, edited, but essentially what was said/meant. And I trust "CJ"...she's a bit mouthy and brusque, but pulls no punches.) CJ started: "I'm sure as soon as ["Right Hand"] heard about all the huggin'...

    Are you saying that unlicensed medical staff can manage/discipline licensed employees?

13. Pursuing Nursing - Need Direction

    RenaissanceNurse replied to southike's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Unless you have your heart set on a more traditional path, you could look into all kinds of careers. Forensics, research, education... Godspeed, I know those kinds of decisions can be mind-bending?

    Generalizations and attacking one another solves nothing. Let's keep the poster in mind, eh?

15. Desperately need advice and encouragement

    RenaissanceNurse replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Sounds like you've been around a lot of nurses, so I'm assuming you've heard the ups-downs-ins-outs, all kinds of stories and scheduling nightmares, so my first thought: it doesn't sound like your dream job? IMO And I refuse to candy-coat this...the ...
