  1. What punishment should this nurse get?

    RobCPhT replied to Daytonite's topic in General Nursing

    Some of the opinions on here aren't very promising. Of all the things nurses are accused of, sleeping is probably one of the most minor. I mean we are only human. Of course she wasn't caring for her...

  2. Patients' privacy and HIPAA vs. staff's right to know

    RobCPhT replied to TheOneWithGlasses's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I would have to agree with others on this. As a caregiver you are legally able to know anything on the patients chart. If someone has these restrictions as a policy you may want to let them know. It...

  3. What do you do to calm yourself at work?

    RobCPhT replied to dano's topic in General Nursing

    I usually just take a break for 15. I work in a fast paced multitasking position so most of the time I don't calm down. I am usually reserved on the outside though. Self control is a big thing for

  4. Credit Check for employment???

    RobCPhT replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    (management training now) Those questions have to be related to the job. I don't see how a credit check could be related to a job unless you were a finanacial director or something. The only way that...

  5. How to handle sub standard evals

    RobCPhT replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    Right now I am a nursing student and double major healthcare management. These evals are inappropriate my business text recommends catching people doing something good. These nurses need some serious...

  6. Excelsior ?

    RobCPhT replied to MrsCD's topic in General Nursing

    I heard it was a really good school and accepted by most BON for RN programs. I am not sure how the clinical's work though. They were responsive with my

  8. suspension

    RobCPhT replied to bradleau's topic in General Nursing

    If you say that other staff members have had similar dress code violations and have not been disciplined, then this is a disciplinary violation of ethics. Because the rule is not enforced to all of...

  9. I got fired!

    RobCPhT replied to zoeintx's topic in General Nursing

    What did you write the aid up for and what was the reason they fired you? Sometimes you can sue. I imagine they were doing it to cover themselves? You will most likely find a better job

  10. Agism in nursing???? (furious rant potential)

    RobCPhT replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with blue eyes. From an HR standpoint you really are overqualified to be a staff RN. Have you thought about administration like DON or research. There are so many higher positions you are...

  11. New Pro MDA resident training bill

    RobCPhT replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There is a form somewhere that allows you to just fill in your name and a few details and then e-mail it to the parties involved. If anyone knows where to find these they really help spread the...

  12. Corporate Nursing Home rant

    RobCPhT replied to banditrn's topic in General Nursing

    Is there anyway you can fix some of these problems yourself? I deal with similar problems and always try to fight for what is right. I know that sometimes it gets me in trouble. What do you think...

  13. Nicotine patches while smoking

    RobCPhT replied to Nascar nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Patches while smoking is a big NO NO!! What are they thinking telling people to do

  14. HIPPA question

    RobCPhT replied to yadda_yadda_yadda's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you should get yourself a lawyer and fight the battle or just walk away. I hate to see the state board crack down on people who get caught up in situations. It seems like this whole situation...

  15. LPN/LVN rate of pay in your area.

    RobCPhT replied to Couture_Honey's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Bluechips, I feel bad for you. Are all healthcare positions that low in your

  16. An ethical question.

    RobCPhT replied to workingforskies's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like you still have a problem with inappropriate gossip. I deal with that in my position all the time. Be strong and tell her that you are not comfortable with the way she talks about others....

  17. Accutane

    RobCPhT replied to BGgirl's topic in General Nursing

    If you are worried about side effects try erythromyicin 2% in alcohol. Its a topical soltution that works really well. Everything else failed for

  18. Klogs shoes

    RobCPhT replied to NicInNC's topic in General Nursing

    I like nike brand running shoes because of they way they support my movement. I also have clogs the ones that are very light and have removable insoles are very comfortable. They should be made of all...

  20. No I wouldn't recommend nursing

    RobCPhT replied to manuelvillanueva's topic in Nursing Career

    Some people are so ungrateful. If you are that unhappy with your job maybe it is time to change into another nursing role. If you don't like cleaning up human waste sometimes move to Africa where your...

  21. new job

    RobCPhT replied to shannonleighann's topic in General Nursing

    That is terrible your boss acted like that. It sucks when you have to leave to better yourself. I felt kind of bad last time I left. Usually I have seen two weeks notice depending on your contract. So...

  22. What to expect out of my STNA class (nurse aide training)

    RobCPhT replied to ICor9:24's topic in General Students

    If you have trouble with smells you can use a mask with a few drops of essential oil. I use lemon from bath and body works. This trick was learned when I had to first do cadaver work. Same thing with...
