  1. Hallucinations in the Elderly

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm obviously, not the nurse here, but the last year of my mother's life, she was having hallucinations...nothing scary like that, she kept seeing little fuzzy bears (toy like), and other object...

  2. How can I check out a doctor's reputation?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    You can check them through the state agency that licenses them. Call the BON and they will probably be able to tell you which one, or you can find out through the Secretary of State's office. Congrats...

  3. Reporting abuse

    BSNtobe2009 replied to aka_steven's topic in General Nursing

    that doesn't seem very clear. it lists professions, but the statute doesn't say anything about level of obligation if you see a child that is a victim of abuse outside your scope of practice. i'm not...

  4. How to become bilingual

    BSNtobe2009 replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can't use conversational Spanish, I wouldn't consider you Bi-lingual. Being able to pass a test and being able to USE your Spanish, I think, is two different

  5. Ever Been Fired?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to lpnurse2004's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree. Personal opinions about a previous employee is just setting yourself up for a lawsuit. Not everyone flourishes at every job. I have worked places where I was the most coveted employee they...

  6. Honest question needs honest anwser..

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Kandigrl2001's topic in General Nursing

  7. Help! Money! In a pickle!!!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    But see, that all depends if she is getting a fixed rate or not or if a teaser rate is incorporated. I think she is getting an adjustable rate mortgage, along with HIGH HIGH HIGH origination fees...

  8. Internet at work?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Kait's topic in General Nursing

    See, that is my point. If they have a policy against it, and they want someone out of there, trust me, selective enforcement will apply. There is nothing during the day that I need access to that...

  9. What can I do to help a struggling student nurse??

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    To me this is where women SHOULD apply for welfare and exactly where I want my taxes to go. Three kids and no support from the father, she can get a Section 8 housing voucher, and everything else...

  10. Reporting abuse

    BSNtobe2009 replied to aka_steven's topic in General Nursing

  11. Nurses Giving Depositons: Falls

    BSNtobe2009 replied to dewebob's topic in General Nursing

    The worst thing you can do is to make an attempt to recall anything unless you are 110% sure that what you are repeating is accurate. If you can't even remember the patient, I wouldn't say anything...

  12. Internet at work?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Kait's topic in General Nursing

    I personally, wouldn't do it. I posted this, actually just this morning, how I have lost count of how many people I know that have lost their jobs due to using the internet. Just because everyone...

  14. Write-Ups & Disciplinary Action

    BSNtobe2009 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

  15. million dollar babies

    BSNtobe2009 replied to RNin2007's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I do know there is a federal law that prohibits a health insurance company from denying insurance, even at a jacked-up rate, to a newborn if the mother is already covered. She has 30 days to add the...

  16. Vatican said to be rethinking condoms

    BSNtobe2009 replied to ZASHAGALKA's topic in General Nursing

    Homosexuality is not a sin in the Catholic church...that is a myth. It's the practice of homosexual SEX that the church is against. The Catholic church believes that the purposes of sex within a...

  17. Chemically Dependent Nurses

    BSNtobe2009 replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering if it would be legal for them to fire you if you had a script that was over a year old but was actually prescribed to you. I know that if you have a written prescription that it's...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Private student loans that fund an education, are no different than car loans or mortgage loans, it all depends on the terms of the loan, and you can get ripped off royaly unless you educate yourself....

  20. "waiting list" questions

    BSNtobe2009 replied to EmN82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think your chances are excellent, and I would start preparing as if you were going...get your financial aid in order, make sure there isn't anything stopping you from showing up on your first day...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in Nurse Management

    Sorry for the late post, I couldn't find the thread. Thanks for the responses, that makes me feel better. I have mentally prepared myself for the 23-year-old supervisor , but I wasn't sure since by...
