    Looking up patients on Facebook

    dream'n replied to falconersys's topic in General Nursing

    Not a HIPAA violation, but it is bad boundaries and border line unethical. I did work in Oncology awhile ago and several staff, including some I really admired, befriended long standing patients. I...

    RN school while in High School?

    dream'n replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    It feels like a 'dumbing down' of the RN profession. People would be in an uproar if 18 year olds could graduate HS and have earned a degree in teaching or engineering, how about as a physical or...

    Looking for advice; "handling" situations **LONG**

    dream'n replied to Miss.LeoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that your charge nurse jumped to conclusions very early on that you are not competent. Instead of being understanding that you are a new nurse and needed her to help lead and guide you, she...

    "Poor Thing!"

    dream'n replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to use "Bless their heart" as more of a way to sound nice about someone else's problems, when I can't say what I'm thinking which is "I really don't give a s***". But now that the heart...

    "Poor Thing!"

    dream'n replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    That was exactly what I was thinking, southern and condescending. I'm from the south originally and occasionally I have found myself getting sweeter and fake with people that are more and more...

    I think in general they appear more confident and take things in stride at work, more so than my generation did when we were that

    Did my Interview go well? Or don’t count on a call?

    dream'n replied to Adri1992's topic in General Nursing

    One of the most beneficial things for me when trying to get into acute care, was to let the manager know that I was very interested in working on this specific unit and that if I wasn't chosen for the...

    Do as I say, and not as I do.

    dream'n replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I know this Clark. He has many, many twins working in psych around the nation. I often wonder who he slept with (or has the dirt on) to get admin to justify his every action. He thinks he's the...

    Sitting down - New nurse looking for advice

    dream'n replied to MgoBlue37's topic in General Nursing

    I am arguing with myself about responding. I'm not a mean person and don't want to be unsympathetic, but at the same time, this type of question irritates the heck out of me. Unfortunately it seems...

    New grad job offers....what do I choose?

    dream'n replied to SoontobeNewGrad2019's topic in General Nursing

    Go for the Post Partum position. PP and LD can be difficult to break into and positions are not often available. Med Surg positions are much more easy to find if

    Active License but havent worked in 7 years

    dream'n replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    I've always felt that agency nurses should be very experienced, have a wide knowledge base, and be quick learners. But recently some of the local agency nurses I've seen are just beyond ridiculous....

    Very Frustrated!

    dream'n replied to cretin's topic in General Nursing

    Someone will pick those shifts up. There are always those few at every job that constantly want overtime. So I doubt it'll make any difference to your boss if you work them or not. Can't you see...

    What is considered a positive reportable TB test?

    dream'n replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    If the regulations are to report > 10mm in this patients particular situation and his result is anything < than 10mm, then no you don't need to report it unless there are other factors at

    Mistake

    Yes you made the wrong choice those many years ago, but the fact that your conscience has been eating at you for all these years shows what a caring, empathetic person you are. Please remember what...

    I Hope This is Not the Latest Trend

    dream'n replied to PhyllisMSN's topic in General Nursing

    Lesson of this story; nurses do not sign something that you didn't do. I've worked in nursing homes, SNFs, Subacute facilities early on in my career. The ethical nurses did their best, prioritized,...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    dream'n replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Some need to get off of their high horse before Karma comes a knocking. Just what do those that favor the nurse being charged think it will accomplish? It won't be a deterrent as we all try to do...

    In and Out Privileges

    dream'n replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I worked in would NEVER let a patient leave with an IV, especially a PICC. If a patient left with one they were made AMA and the police were called. Sounds like your hospital is playing...
