  1. "The last place I worked, we did things differently!" (and correctly)

    mamason replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I can relate to this. I just started a new job and we did things differently at my old place of work. We were doing them wrong and a sloppy job at that. So, I'm pretty receptive to how things...

  2. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    mamason replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad that you got your "A" that you worked hard for. She has issues obviously. Keep a file on her if you must. Just get through the program that "you are paying for." Nursing schools are a...

  3. What is a good gift to give CNA's?

    mamason replied to tiggertoo's topic in General Nursing

    Hand lotion from bath and body works. Maybe a nice scent? They also make anitbacterial lotions. You can find most in trial

  4. what your hospital policy on sick days?

    mamason replied to lannisz's topic in General Nursing

    Oh...I agree...how management twists the rules around for their own convenience. God forbid, should a poor old staff nurse need to take off for their family's illness. What a joke! I'm sorry that...

  5. Oh God, A NURSE is my pt!!!!

    mamason replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I took care of quite a few nurses. I didn't have any problems though. But, did feel, in the back of my mind, that they just might be watching my every move. Probably my own insecurities

  6. rules for student nurses

    mamason replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    When practicing for NCLEX on the computer simulated questions, don't spend 90% of your time arguing with your boyfriend via instant messageing. This happened to a girl I went to school with. We were...

  7. what your hospital policy on sick days?

    mamason replied to lannisz's topic in General Nursing

    Have to agree with this post. Also, it's the people that abuse sick days that make it hard for one's who truly need the days off. (as stated

  8. Stethescope Comparison

    mamason replied to checkmate's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I prefer Littmann. I hear better with them. I have had cheaper steth's and they usually stopped working for some reason. LIttmann seems durable and you can hear low and high frequency sounds with...

  9. what your hospital policy on sick days?

    mamason replied to lannisz's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be scared.....As the above the poster stated, she will probably go over the policy with you and tell you that you've reached your limit of call in's for awhile. I had this problem at my last...

  10. I'm back and refreshed!

    mamason replied to dmwRNpa's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so glad to read about how someone got away from a stressful environment and found their niche. Which is exactly what I'm trying to do.

  11. OT: and not getting paid?

    mamason replied to nynurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that I could let myself be taken advantage of that way. If they don't want to pay me, then, I'd be looking for a new job. But, that's just me. As VAMEDIC4 said, something's fishy with...

  12. What do you know about Methamphetemine?

    mamason replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    That's a shame. Poor baby. What kind of life do you think that little one's going to

  13. "Diploma Nurse preferable"

    mamason replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with Cherish, it's not the degree, it's the person who is right for the job. We have all worked with great ADN RN's, BSN RN's and Diploma

  14. "Diploma Nurse preferable"

    mamason replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting....... how does nursing practice in the Phillipines differ from the US? Just

  15. "Diploma Nurse preferable"

    mamason replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    Diploma schools are still around. Few and far between. I graduated from one 3 years ago in St. Louis, MO. Only one left in that state. Had no problem getting a job at all. My friend, who bridged in as...

    mamason replied to MM2007's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. But, here goes. An ST elevation MI is caused by complete obstruction of a coronary artery, and causes damage that involves the full thickness of the...

    mamason replied to mamason's topic in Cardiac

    I agree, if they require it, then it will be checked. I was just curious. You know, you learn so much from these boards. Thanks for the

  18. Heparin SQ or drips

    mamason posted a topic in Cardiac

    Just wondering what your policies were for the administration of Heparin SQ or

  19. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    mamason replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a push over if that's what you meant by this post. Far from it. I choose to pick my battles.And if it's "my "screw up" then I am prepared to to take the consequences for my actions. As far as...

  20. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    mamason replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    I've followed this thread from the beginning. My point is....this instructor, wether right or wrong, explained her expectations for clinicals. And the OP chose not to follow them. That's why she is in...

  21. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    mamason replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think that there is an issue with "abuse of power" here. You stated in your original post that the instructor informed you {meaning you and the other students} that if you smelled of...

  24. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    mamason replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    OK...I'm a smoker, and when I was in school there was no such policy on smoking of any kind. Now..to get to the bottom of things, 1: Wear a patch to clinicals. It helps with the cravings. 2: Write...
