  1. Second guessing job exceptance

    DeepFriedRN replied to kcdunlap's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with moonflower.. Discuss the issue with your hiring manager. But if you think that getting your foot in the door is important- it may actually be worth it for a while- in most places after...

  2. How rewarding is it to be a case management rn?

    DeepFriedRN replied to flamengo's topic in Case Management

    It's a tough job, stressful in it's own way (case loads, meeting metrics, etc..). However, that said, on the plus side a mistake doesn't have the same degree of seriousness that you would find when...

  3. What does your username mean?

    DeepFriedRN replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    One day I ws talking to my dtr (she's 16 now, was about 14 then), about how burned out I was feeling at work. And with the wonderful sarcasm that she inherited from me, she looked at me, rolled her...

  4. *Easy* things I just hate doing

    DeepFriedRN replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, me too. Weird, the things that bug

  5. Absence of Teamwork

    DeepFriedRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know Ruby, I only have 8 years under my belt, but when I first started, there was a lot more team work. I'm in CA, where there are ratios. As such, since nurses on tele have "only" 4 pts, admin...

  6. A Lesson in Family, Ethics and End of Life

    DeepFriedRN replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    ((tait)).. A horrible and gut wrenching situation. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. May you all find the path that leads to peace for your Grandma, and for all of

  7. Need some reassurance.

    DeepFriedRN replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the above.. It's not that you were necessarily wrong or anything.. But I also agree with those that said looking at the trends in a case like this is important. On the other hand, good for...

  8. patients family photographing your badge?

    DeepFriedRN replied to melgrek's topic in General Nursing

    The other day I was looking for a phone number online for a friend. So I look the guy's name up, and along with the phone number, it had his complete address, and a map showing his house. Now, I have...

  9. Can anyone tell me?

    DeepFriedRN replied to Phase2Pro's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the above, first thing I thought of was diversion.. She has others remove the meds and in doing so avoids a paper trail (or computer trail, I guess). However, if she is having you give them...

  10. is it ok if i write on somebody else's nursing notes and then she/he would sign it?

    DeepFriedRN replied to pennylane18's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Agree with the above..You are hanging your behind out there writing out things about a patient you have not assessed, and she's hanging her behind out there assuming you have written the correct info...

  11. Needle Stick Injury on HIV+ pt

    DeepFriedRN replied to holdencaufield's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this happened to you.. You aren't over-reacting to the situation, because what happened would be terrifying to anyone. Rationally we can all know that with the PEP your risks are really...

  12. Using Ampules w/o filter needles

    DeepFriedRN replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I recall being told by a hospital pharmacist that the glass particulate can accumulate in the liver. I was taught to always use filter needles, but have met tons of nurses who have never used or heard...

  13. Handling Seekers

    DeepFriedRN replied to traveler85's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the posters who say just give it-as it's ordered, within appropriate time frames, and as long as the pt is stable to receive narcs. When I first became a nurse this problem used to befuddle...

  14. Oh, The Politics...

    DeepFriedRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, been a while. But I have a "thing" going on at work, and need to hear from some of you who might have some more experience with this kind of thing. So I changed jobs, and now I'm working in...

  15. Oh, The Politics...

    DeepFriedRN replied to DeepFriedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks you guys. I realize thatI definitely have to hash it out. I guess it's just the whole politically correct direction that I have to take that's irking me. I'm used to the floor, where when you...

  16. Oh, The Politics...

    DeepFriedRN replied to DeepFriedRN's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, it's just one of those weird situations where they are on the same level but work for different entities... she asked me what she could do for me to help (as she could see I'm getting...

  17. Oh, the gossip.

    DeepFriedRN replied to LOLRN's topic in General Nursing

    It made me laugh that "high" vs. "elevated" was the best that they could come up with to make fun of you. Geez, pretentious much? Blow 'em off. You'll find those kinds everywhere. They make my head,...

  18. Chief complaints that made you laugh?

    DeepFriedRN replied to nickos's topic in General Nursing

    not a chief complaint, but when looking for a family contact/next of kin in the computer, found that someone in admitting had taken the time to put in "Noe, Juan" for next of kin. Heh, kinda dumb...

  19. HELP! Floor Nursing = NOT for me

    DeepFriedRN replied to skim410's topic in General Nursing

    To a certain degree I've got to agree with JoPACURN. A Nurse Practitioner is an advanced practice nurse. To me that implies that one should have the basic practice of the science down pat, and then...

  20. New Grads and Temp Agencies

    DeepFriedRN replied to ilovenursing2009's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with morte, any agency who would take in and place a new grad on a floor is one that you should NOT work for. Nobody is saying that new grads are useless, and we aren't having an attitude with...

  21. My Father Died Today

    DeepFriedRN replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    My deepest condolence on your loss.. Sounds like the world lost a good man. My thoughts are with you and your

  22. day 2! and i left sobbing!!!!!

    DeepFriedRN replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    or even further, to the house supervisor or whoever it is that does bed placement for admits..OP, hang in there. It's kinda scary sometimes, but it'll get better. The longer you're there the more...

  23. New Male Nurse x 5 months and still anxious..super dooper anxious!

    DeepFriedRN replied to NewDude's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Is there any way you could come off noc shift and try days? With the stress level being what it is for a new nurse, the total disruption of your internal clock could really excerbate all the anxiety...

  24. broken hearted new grad

    DeepFriedRN replied to brokenheartedrn's topic in General Nursing

    I could be wrong, but I think that she was referring to the OP's needing to apply to that many jobs, yet still being unable to find a new grad position as being ridiculous, not the claim itself. That...

  25. Immunocompromised patients and the flu vaccine

    DeepFriedRN replied to Otessa's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm understanding you to mean that your friend is being mandated to take the shot, and prefers not to. Is there a specific reason she doesn't want it (like an allergy)? This is such a difficult issue,...
