  2. Terminated after applying to another department...Is this legal???

    Peri replied to DMCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Pity you aren't in the UK as I think this could be taken to a Tribunal and would be classed as unfair

  3. Should the illness of an "important person" be revealed?

    Peri replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    It is my opinion that peoples health (no matter what their standing) is private unless they wish to share the information. In this case I see no reason why the CEO of Apple should have to reveal and...

  4. Remember your FIRST paycheck?!

    Peri replied to ashandjune's topic in General Nursing

    First paycheck? Or first nursing paycheck? My first paycheck was at Woolworths, I was a Saturday girl and I was 15. I received 19s/11d and I bought a bedside lamp. (It was

  5. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    I want everyone to feel sorry for me :wink2: I have no nursing ghost stories. All my colleagues have them, but not me -

  6. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    Peri replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! I have to say, all of the guy comments on here, even the humerous ones, have been remarkably restrained, considering the topic. I didn't find the comments sexist, per se. Most straight guys love...

  12. What I Love About Nursing Is....

    Peri replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Knowing that I have made a difference. Unfortunately, in this day and age, it seems that we are fighting beaurocracy in order to treat our patients as people and not some annoyance that has to be...

  13. Low K level - possibly getting written up...

    Peri replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I think that I would have rung the doc and asked him if there was anything that he wanted to do as the patients K was 2.6. He could then say that he knew about it or not, but I would rather...

  14. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    Peri replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. We also list ALL allergies as this might show a latent allergy related to an existing one. The Dr should have been more specific in his request, but he sounds a bit of a

  15. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    Peri replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Don't understand why they would give you the "look". It's a well documented phenomenon - lots of asthmatics can be allergic to NSAIDS. Here in the UK, Drs will not prescribe NSAIDS if the patient has...

  16. *Weird* Patient Allergies

    Peri replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I thought "Squid" was a strange allergy but then I read the posts on here. I do like the ones where the patient says "Penicillin - it makes me

  17. going up nursing ladder

    Peri replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    If you are coming into nursing for the money, let me give you a heads up - DON'T. The money isn't too bad, but the work is hard and stressful, you will earn every penny. I think that you need to...

  18. Men intimidated by RN salary?

    Peri replied to ment2be's topic in General Nursing

    I was working part time. My husband didn't want me working, he wanted me to stay at home, but as he never seemed to have enough money I had to go out to work. Then it was all my money paying for the...

  19. Congestive Heart Failure

    Peri replied to Monica Zilko's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    As nurses we always have something to do to help patients. It is the hardest thing in the world just to accept that this is the end and that all we can do is let nature take its course. With all the...

  20. I'm disappointed tonight.

    Peri replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    You took the professionalism of your colleagues seriously and did not disbelieve their reports. When the the true state of the patient was ascertained, you did something about it - strikes me that you...

  21. Relationships Ruined by Nursing...

    Peri replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in General Nursing

    My mum (incredibly wise woman that she was) said about my fiance, "if he is as selfish and unsupportive as he is now, he'll be three times worse when you are married." Guess what .... she was right. I...

  23. Calling in sick (question)

    Peri replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I've just seen your previous post - posted just before mine - and if I had seen that before I had posted, going off sick would have been my advice. You did the right thing, even though there are going...

  24. Would you feel comfortable with putting your loved ones in a nursing home?

    Peri replied to BradleyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I love the idea that people are able to care for their loved ones at home, unfortunately I would not be able to look after my dad in that scenario as I have to work full time and I am single. I voted...

  25. Calling in sick (question)

    Peri replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I'm always saying if you feel awful then you shouldn't work, but I know that it is difficult when it comes to yourself. Let us know - did you go in and how did you manage if you
