  1. Sex Offender as a home care patient?

    Ayeloflo replied to Frosty08's topic in Home Health

    "sex offender" is the term used in a legal sense. As a nurse, you look at him as a psych patient. You are not in the age range 5-13, right? You have to separate your personal condemnation from your...

    Ayeloflo replied to bree*'s topic in Home Health

    You know what, guys? I started Home Health as a caregiver with ventilator patients and learned a lot from the nurses and RTs way before I got into nursing school, so that' why I got very comfortable...

    Ayeloflo replied to rainbowsandsunshine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  6. Brand New Nurse in Home Health: Can you really gain experience?

    Ayeloflo replied to bree*'s topic in Home Health

    For the paychech, go with the homehealth for now. As far as being clueless, you would be even in acute hospital, but you'd have the support of other nurses. In home health, you are on your own. The...

  7. Medical school vs Nursing School

    Ayeloflo replied to faraday68's topic in General Students

    If you think too much you won't get there. I say, go to medical school. Being a doctore is just like any other profession. You have to learn the trade, study for your license exam. Nursing profession,...

  9. Talent Plus Interview Style Feedback

    Ayeloflo replied to CC04's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  11. Visitors chasing you down the hallway....

    Ayeloflo replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

    My good friends, society has it's own idea of what a nurse's responsibility is. You might not see the same family members the next day. We have new admits all the time. Same issues with families all...

  14. This forum is making me reconsider nursing

    Ayeloflo replied to WittyUsername's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Careful, careful, careful. Many private schools will let a student with criminal history get into their program and bill the student for tuition, knowing very well that when it's time for board exam,...

  15. Prohibited from practicing license pending HELP!!

    Ayeloflo replied to Nurse CJ's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  16. False positive pre employment test job lost help!

    Ayeloflo replied to JStarr's topic in General Nursing

    I usually would make sure that I write somewhere on the lab requition form "NB: Donor takes Rx so and so". I also make sure that that I write it on the label of the specimen cup. Each time I tell the...

  17. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    Ayeloflo replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    Well, maybe that "new grad" is a career changer with previous leadership experience from other areas. Maybe that person used to be a paramedic. Maybe the charge nurse pay was low and the new grad took...

  18. Facebook and Former Patient Friend Request

    Ayeloflo replied to us2uk4u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would say steer clear. It's similar to accepting gifts and/or giving gifts. Eventhough it's may be innocent, it might be wise to use caution. To the previous responders, I don't think it's weird of...

  19. Has anyone heard of Western Governor's University?

    Ayeloflo replied to StillHoping's topic in Western Governors University

    "integrated" what? hehehe. It's set up like that so that there's a higher chance of students failing that exam. That way you have to repeat and pay more money Maybe I've had too many bad experiences...

  20. Called in to work as a new grad?

    Ayeloflo replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well as far as management is concerned, you are licensed and that's good enough. Let's not forget that you are cheaper that a seasoned agency nurse who is called in at the last minute. Thats is why...

  21. Staff nurses and their bad attitudes

    Ayeloflo replied to ShellyRSRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So true. I would like to add that I have worked both shifts before, and I understand CONTINUITY OF CARE. Oncoming day nurse was trying to find "fault" while I was giving her report. She did her thing...

  23. Been an RN for 6 months..why do I still dread giving report?

    Ayeloflo replied to TorsadesDePointesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! Where I work night shift, it's a small psyche facility and we do pen and paper charting. We work under high pressure. Lab workers are taking a cut in their hours and so they close so they...

  24. Should I keep my LPN license active?

    Ayeloflo replied to my.toys's topic in General Nursing

    If I could afford it, I'd keep the LVN license too. It only gives you more flexibility if you have less job opportunities in your area. For example if a new grad RN cannot find a job, that new grad...

  25. Verbal Orders - MD to RN to RN without Chart

    Ayeloflo replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Nursing

    Do not do that! If I were you, I'd offer to help RN #1 with whatever he/she is busy doing so that he/she can carry out the order that he/she recieved verbally. I had a similar experience with med over...
