  1. Should I Have Stepped In??

    PANurseRN1 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    BWAH!

  2. Pick up Malpractice! They went after my license.

    PANurseRN1 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah. I just got insurance from them...never again. Really, really awful customer service. Took forever to get my policy, but they sure took my $$ with lightning speed. They refused to verify my...

  3. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    PANurseRN1 replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, I'm glad I don't work there too. Sounds like some people there play fast and loose with legal

  4. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

    PANurseRN1 replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

    No, you are not the same as an LPN and if you haven't learned that in your BSN program, then shame on them. You should demand a refund on your

  5. YOU as a Pt-what would you allow a student nurse to do?

    PANurseRN1 replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty much anything, although if the student clearly demonstrated lousy technique I would stop him/her right there. I've endured some pretty painful IV starts from newbies; just tried to grin and...

    PANurseRN1 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone has accused you of being a hero; quite the

  7. Should I Have Stepped In??

    PANurseRN1 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    Let me share something with you that happened to me when I was a student. I was on summer break after my first year and was going to visit a friend. I was driving across a major bridge that connected...

  8. Should I Have Stepped In??

    PANurseRN1 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    Never mind. I looked at your profile. My questions are

  9. Should I Have Stepped In??

    PANurseRN1 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    One other thing...if you are not afraid of your external env., you are dangerous. Smart people in the field know enought to have a healthy fear of what could happen, and why they don't just go diving...

  10. Should I Have Stepped In??

    PANurseRN1 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    Well, good for you. That's what works for you. But there was no reason to bully the OP, which is what you did. She was obviously conflicted. There would have been much better ways to offer a...

  11. Should I Have Stepped In??

    PANurseRN1 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    No. Cops get shot on scene all the time. They have advantage of protective gear. Bystanders do

  12. Should I Have Stepped In??

    PANurseRN1 replied to leesespieces's topic in General Nursing

    Get serious. There are probably two reasons why the police were not performing CPR on the victim: 1) the victim was breathing on his own and didn't need CPR; 2) the vicitim was dead, dead, dead. EMS...

  13. Are you a member of a professional nursing organization?

    PANurseRN1 replied to NurseguyFL's topic in General Nursing

    I also wouldn't take what one nursing instructor says too seriously. These are the same people who are telling you that you aren't good enough to be a nurse because you are "just an ADN/diploma...

  14. Are you a member of a professional nursing organization?

    PANurseRN1 replied to NurseguyFL's topic in General Nursing

    California Nurses' Association; South Central Pennsylvania Peri-Anesthesia Nurses' Association. I joined the CNA as a show of solidarity for their

  15. Nurses are Pathetic!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

    Just because it is a "calling" for you does not mean it is for everyone else. We need to stop putting nursing into something indefineable or ethereal. There's nothing wrong with going into nursing for...

  16. After reading negative thread, want to give up nursing dream!

    PANurseRN1 replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    Would you kindly stop wagging your finger at us? It's considered rude in any circles. I agree with Timothy; if you are so bothered and bewildered by venting, then maybe you should look for another...

  17. This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

    PANurseRN1 replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with a nurse who pronounced it "opposedly." I couldn't help myself, and I stopped her in report one day and asked, "As opposed to

  18. This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

    PANurseRN1 replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    I keep getting spam from a company that says "Were hiring..." I am so tempted to reply, "Too bad you were hiring. I might have been the perfect person for the

  19. Ummmm..are they ALLOWED to do that?

    PANurseRN1 replied to NurseJacqui's topic in Emergency

    I always found that fascinating. ICU can't take the pt. because they're at max, but the ED can hold and hold, plus continue to take in the ambulance and walk in pts. To heck with safe ratios for those...

  20. Negligence???

    PANurseRN1 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    If a call that your parent is actively dying doesn't constitute a dire emergency, I don't know what would. I still think the charge should have stopped what she was doing right then and there and...

  21. I LOVE triaging.....

    PANurseRN1 replied to ParrotHeadRN's topic in Emergency

    I had someone come in the other weekend to get checked out for a problem she'd had for 3 years. She'd been referred to a specialist but didn't go, but for some unknown reason, she was inspired that...

  22. To the single parent night shifters

    PANurseRN1 replied to cardiac.cure03's topic in General Nursing

    ??? Well, you said day shift wasn't an option where you work and you didn't want to get another job. That's probably why no one mentioned

  23. The 'Image' of Nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that careplans have their place in teaching students--if only we could ditch NANDA. Why can't we just call it as we see it? Instead of saying, "Ineffective airway clearance AEB blah, blah,...

  24. phone calls no outsider would believe

    PANurseRN1 replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

    ????? I absolutely do not understand this post. You don't work on people but you work in an ED? I don't get

  25. Negligence???

    PANurseRN1 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Let me see if I understood this. You were working for a hospice. You got a call that your mother was actively dying. Your charge nurse refused to cover for you, and made you stay there while your...
