  1. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    This is a place for nurses to vent. If you don't like certain threads, don't read them. It is not our obligation to watch every word we say for fear that someone may be discouraged. Those of us who...

  2. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    PANurseRN1 replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Then perhaps you should have said so from the

  3. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    PANurseRN1 replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Uh, yeah. Like it's totally illegal and you could lose your license, for starters.

  4. Eating our own?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Jules A's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good for you,

  5. Eating our own?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Jules A's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But it's not up to you to judge whether or not she's "worthy" of getting into the nursing program. If you don't want to loan her your notes, fine. Leave it at that. It sounds like you spend a little...

  6. Eating our own?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Jules A's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting, isn't

  7. Was I mean?

    PANurseRN1 replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ??? Why did you go to the instructor? That was mean. I think you made your point that you work hard. Don't bother about whether or not someone attends class. It's not your concern. Leave that to be...

  8. doctors treatment of nurses??

    PANurseRN1 replied to nursejllrn's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...that's really stretching things. Perhaps as a student you haven't really had much opportunity to interact with doctors. If you continue with this attitude after you graduate, you're in for a...

  9. Non-Hospital jobs for new grads

    PANurseRN1 replied to NurseLatteDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to break it to the OP, but it's just as possible to make a med error in a doctor's office as it is in a hospital. Every nurse has made mistakes. You can let a mistake crush you, or you can...

  10. Is there power in the color white?

    PANurseRN1 replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    I guess we know how oldshoes feels about Crocs!

  11. please help us help night shift!

    PANurseRN1 replied to pk1's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a legitimate question or a sideways attempt to gripe about night shift staff? Because if it isn't, it sure looks that

  12. Counrtry doses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Bethy-lynn's topic in MICU, SICU

    It seems like the OP is not interested in knowing whether or not this is legal, and certainly not interested in hearing from the many experienced nurses here. I get the impression she only wanted...

  13. Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    PANurseRN1 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Then why the

  14. LPN'S Supervising RNs'? How would you feel?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cowgirl4u's topic in General Nursing

    This situation would certainly qualify for "nurse eating," BTW. If it indeed really happened that way. I hope that RN found a job where she was able to be properly precepeted and

  15. LPN'S Supervising RNs'? How would you feel?

    PANurseRN1 replied to cowgirl4u's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the people around you thought it would have been better to just let the pt. code. Maybe that nurse didn't have experience with central lines. Then she's supervised by someone who is not...

  16. Counrtry doses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Bethy-lynn's topic in MICU, SICU

    Yep. And as far as the old "everyone else does it where I work," you know the old expression "If everybody jumped off a cliff..." You can't give a med and then retroactively get the order. OK, well,...

  17. Counrtry doses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Bethy-lynn's topic in MICU, SICU

    Please do not try to play the "ICU is a different animal" card...it just doesn't work. Safe nursing practice should be applied to all areas. Many of us work in specialties where nurses are given a lot...

  18. Counrtry doses

    PANurseRN1 replied to Bethy-lynn's topic in MICU, SICU

    Not only is it not normal, it's illegal and if you're smart you'll stop it immediately before you lose your license. I agree with the other poster...this is

  19. Nurses and Nursing Students: what was/is your biggest pet peeve in nursing school?

    PANurseRN1 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    It's not another student's fault if he/she doesn't have to work while in school. Are they supposed to just sit and say nothing, never talk about what they did on the weekend? Just don't associate with...

  20. Almost out of orientation, YIKES!

    PANurseRN1 replied to RNLisa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know you didn't exactly mean this to be funny, but the Navy comment did make me laugh. I think many new nurses/students have the impression that because there's a "shortage," they will be able to...

  21. Nurses Eat Their Young

    PANurseRN1 replied to texaschick's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That was an excellent post,

  22. Medicare Abuse

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    And you can get nailed for Medicare fraud even if it's unintentional. One of the reasons why you absolutely must be sure pts. meet criteria for admission to hospice/home care. Squeaking pts. through...

  23. Halloween and Nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Costumes are not professional. We're working with people who are sick, stressed, many times elderly. Can you imagine being a confused elderly person and having a witch/clown/alien/angel showing up at...

  24. Trouble with seasoned nurses?

    PANurseRN1 replied to AprylLPN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for being one of the few people here to acknowledge that there are some nice experienced nurses out

  25. Help re Jehovah's Witness and death

    PANurseRN1 replied to nickismith72's topic in General Nursing

    The reason there are no windows was a practical reason...helps to avoid break-ins and vandalism. If you've ever sat through a religious service and had a brick thown through the window by people...
