  1. Serious Questions about Neglect Etc.

    PANurseRN1 replied to GeriatricSunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Why did you lie about the call bell? Why do you sit in meetings and shake your head? If it's that bad, you need to get out, and you need to report your concerns. I'm not sure how it works in Canada,...

  2. Does anyone really use the care plan?

    PANurseRN1 replied to psalm_55's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's time to stop feeding the

  3. Need advice...life threatened by pt's family today

    PANurseRN1 replied to SotaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd serve him with a restraining order. It doesn't matter that he's backed off temporarily; he threatened to kill you by

  4. Urban legends in nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I felt kind of guilty for laughing so hard at

  5. Master Level General Nurse - What are your thoughts?

    PANurseRN1 replied to flyingfish2u's topic in General Nursing

    NY is not going to revoke the licenses of diploma/ADN nurses if they don't get a BSN by a certain date. Please...that rumor has been bandied about and debunked many times

  6. Why Can't Hospitals Offer Shifts Other Than 12 hr. 7 to 7?

    PANurseRN1 replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    I also wonder who the OP has in mind to work the shifts she finds distasteful. Having kids is not a trump card in this profession. If the hospital doesn't offer the shifts you want, then you need to...

  7. Why Can't Hospitals Offer Shifts Other Than 12 hr. 7 to 7?

    PANurseRN1 replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    You and just about everyone else. I work in day surgery, which is supposedly a day job, but often don't get out til after

    FWIW, I completely understand and agree with your

  10. Staff eating with residents

    PANurseRN1 replied to Inquisitive one's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Like I said, I've got a bridge to sell to anyone who believes that management will make sure the staff who "opt out" get their half-hour break. In twenty years o being a nurse, I have lost count how...

  12. Staff eating with residents

    PANurseRN1 replied to Inquisitive one's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Sorry. I would not want to interrupt my meal to wipe drool, wipe a nose, etc. There is a reason why staff are supposed to have a meal break. It's no break if you have to eat with the pts. Nurse have...

  14. The weekend that blew up

    PANurseRN1 replied to newnurse51's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What I don't understand is if the hospital thought your mistakes were that serious, why did they give you three weeks to find another job? If they were that serious, you should have been terminated....

  15. NP w/no desire for RN?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Pinoy2.0's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What an offensive post to experienced

  16. As a patient, do you disclose your qualifications?

    PANurseRN1 replied to lisalau's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having surgery next month at an affiliate hospital where I work. I will not be telling them I'm a nurse. If they find out through my demographic profile, fine, but I'm not going to be volunteering...

  17. An ethical question.

    PANurseRN1 replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    Do you even work in an ED? I mean, have you actually had to deal with this sort of situation? Do you understand that doing what you propose would completely ruin the chance of a DUI being prosecuted?...

  18. An ethical question.

    PANurseRN1 replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    You are owed an apology, Jolie. Sorry if I jumped in, but that really infuriated me.

  19. Cold Feet??

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

    Travel nurses need to be very adaptable, need little direction, and be able to provide pt. care without supervision. A new grad is not able to do this. I'd suggest getting at least one year of...

  20. Has anyone ever assisted in a roadside emergency?

    PANurseRN1 replied to c5150b's topic in General Nursing

    This is another reason why you will never catch me driving a car with some sort of vanity plate that ID's me as a nurse. I think it looks kind of arrogant, for one (Whoopee, so you're an RN. Am I...

  22. Has anyone ever assisted in a roadside emergency?

    PANurseRN1 replied to c5150b's topic in General Nursing

    You can be sued if you stop and render aid. It has happened, unfortunately. I know there are people who carry all sorts of equipment in their cars "just in case." Not me; it's my car, not a medic...

  23. It's always the nurses fault

    PANurseRN1 replied to stomper's topic in General Nursing

    Now see, I would have said something. Very politely, but there would have been no room for doubt. I have done this before, and it's almost amusing to watch people try to backpedal. It's worth it for...

  24. An ethical question.

    PANurseRN1 replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    Nowhere in Jolie's post did I see her say that it was OK to drink and drive. That's quite a leap to say that, and quite an insult to

  25. An ethical question.

    PANurseRN1 replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot pick and choose. Suppose someone working in the ED believed that HIV was the result of immoral conduct, so if a pt. tested + that nurse believed it was moral and legal to notify the...
