  1. Can I be fired for refusing PPD during pregnancy?

    bagladyrn replied to RN/Mom's topic in General Nursing

    There is a blood test called Quantiferon Gold which is an alternative test to the ppd. Why don't you see if your agency will accept

  2. Credit where credit is due

    bagladyrn posted a topic in Travel

    Since we so often hear what agencies do wrong I want to give kudos to one who went above and beyond. I have spent the last 11 days evacuated from my housing because of wildfires around the town. When...

  3. Credit where credit is due

    bagladyrn replied to bagladyrn's topic in Travel

    I would gladly give the names but will only do so with their express permission. I should also make the point that is wasn't only my recruiter but also several great people in the housing department...

  4. I Love Night Shift

    bagladyrn replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding no one to talk to at 3 am - you need to make friends with musicians. My friends were always stopping by after gigs or meeting at the all night diner at 2:30 in the morning. I also find...

  5. Why do We eat our young?

    bagladyrn replied to nellie272003's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And don't forget- gluten

  6. Is all nursing experience treated the same?

    bagladyrn replied to guest17's topic in General Nursing

    If you take whatever position you can get and concentrate on excelling at it, in the future you should be able to "sell" yourself on your resume or interview with having accomplished so much after...

  7. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    bagladyrn replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    No I am not missing the point. In many small to midsize hospitals there is no "well baby" nursery. The space exists but no staffing is allotted. A baby away from the mother is generally watched at the...

  8. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    bagladyrn replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    No it is not "permissible" to formula feed a breastfed infant without the mother's permission. In fact at some hospitals one must call the pediatrician for an order any time a breastfed infant is...

  9. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    bagladyrn replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    And who do you think is taking care of her other 3 couplets (6 patients) while she is in that room for the whole feeding? By the way, in almost every hospital I've worked at (many as a traveler)...

  10. Too many screening questions?

    bagladyrn replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Imagine trying to complete these questions with a laboring woman. Really adds a whole new challenge when you're trying to fit the questions in between

    bagladyrn replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Zdogg is supposed to be the keynote speaker at this year's travel nursing conference (Travcon) in LV in

  12. It's not my job to pray with you.

    bagladyrn replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Nurses who profess to certain religious beliefs rightfully expect others to respect that there are certain procedures in which they will not participate. I think it equally valid that others may feel...

  13. Nevada Nurses

    bagladyrn replied to thomasianbella's topic in General Nursing

    Just personal opinion here- I have spent considerable time in both Las Vegas and Reno and really find Reno to be a much more pleasant area. Also, unless you are set on city living or have to rely on...

  14. Would you be content if you worked your current job/specialty for the rest of your career?

    bagladyrn replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Yes absolutely! I love working in OB and get enough variety going back and forth between L&D, M/B, antepartum and triage. I've been in this area for 29 years now. I hope to finish my working years...

  15. Math requirement for RNs?

    bagladyrn replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    I've twice been in hospitals when the backup generator did not kick in. And you might want to read up on what it was like in hospitals during Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy. (Looks like Do Good types...

  16. Magnesium sulfate

    bagladyrn replied to maxienurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your order or unit policy should tell you over what time period the bolus is to be delivered. Knowing that you can then determine the

  17. Need help with HW!

    bagladyrn replied to Nursing_excellence's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The only one I can think of who ever was able to bring any (still very dark) humor to this topic was Richard Pryor. I think he could only do this because of his reputation for outrageous humor and...

  18. Funniest/strangest dementia patient stories

    bagladyrn replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Nursing Humor

    Orca - I'm going to be the old lady from your first example someday. Maybe we need to create a special unit for old healthcare workers with a mockup nurses station. Would keep us all occupied and out...

  19. All Nurses Members Gathering?

    bagladyrn replied to Ben_Dover's topic in General Nursing

    They are! Come on

  20. Driving across country

    bagladyrn replied to nurse2yu's topic in Travel

    My biggest objection to I 10 is that it is boring! 880 miles of Texas past stockyards and oil fields is the worst! I only use it in midwinter to avoid weather conditions. A good alternative I have...

  21. Hmm...that's nice

    bagladyrn replied to DiplomaNurseRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Many years ago there was a pt. at the psych hospital at which I worked who frequently spoke of having played with the Grateful Dead. Everyone considered him delusional...until Jerry Garcia came to...

  22. Pt fall- need advice

    bagladyrn replied to dma13's topic in General Nursing

    When you write this state "bed alarm found in the off position". Don't conjecture as to who turned it off or how. Simply state the

  23. First Time Traveler

    bagladyrn replied to rnccf2007's topic in Travel

    Going back to practical advice, I always carry at least $100 in cash tucked away when driving cross country. On several occasions I have been in the situation where atms weren't usable (once my bank's...

    bagladyrn replied to I<3Endo's topic in Travel

  25. Why is so hard to get into Labor and delivery department?

    bagladyrn replied to Marian96's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Consider trying for a position in Mother/Baby (Post Partum) either at your current facility or elsewhere. After establishing yourself there for about a year request to be cross trained to
