  1. "Missing" narcotic please read need help!!!

    TAB_RN replied to justwannabanurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I cannot see where liability insurance has anything to do with this situation. The only advice I can give, is NEVER EVER EVER sign for something that you are not fully aware of what you are signing....

  2. How do you put a nurse like this in her place?

    TAB_RN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, it is against HIPPA to look at charts of patients that you are not directly caring for... She should not be going through your charts if she isn't directly precepting

  3. Misjudged EMT

    TAB_RN replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Emergency

    PPPLLLLEEEAAAASSSSEEE!!!! How the heck can you get someone in trouble for "looking" at you. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. She is going to look like an idiot when she files...

  4. Can an employer penalize you for calling-in due to illness?

    TAB_RN replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    I understand staying home for our sick children, but your sick time is for you - if you are sick. If your children are sick, my hospital says you have to use vacation time or not get paid to be out....

  5. Your Back

    TAB_RN replied to patrick1rn's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well if you deserve a raise for that, then I deserve a raise for all the times I have to be in the room as a "witness" for rectals and pelvics!

  6. Worst doctors orders ever received

    TAB_RN replied to jenfromjersey's topic in Emergency

    How about "2L O2 NC" for the tetraplegic patient that has a trach and

  7. What to expect after CABG

    TAB_RN replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I worked on a cardiac thoracic surgical floor for a year. Our patients were up and out of bed the evening of surgery (in a chair). Typically, the patient feels better than before the surgery on day...

  8. Just Started School & Pregnant

    TAB_RN replied to Star33's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would let them know, to be sure you are not put in a position to be exposed to medications/illnesses that would put your baby/pregnancy at risk. You will be doing clinical work in hospitals and can...

  9. Was this a med error?

    TAB_RN replied to aquamarineyesRN07's topic in Patient Medications

    Actually, you actually gave less than the ordered dose. If you drew up 2mg/1ml... then added 10 ml ns, and then gave 5ml - that is slightly below the 1mg order. It should have been 5.5ml :) No...

  10. Please interpret this med order

    TAB_RN replied to Jennabugs's topic in Patient Medications

    Well, I would have to question that order anyway... Oxycodone has tylenol in it - not less than 325mg/5mg pill. That would be 7800mg of tylenol in one day given the full

  11. Good side job for RN?

    TAB_RN replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    Well if you put it that way, we can also say that nursing is comparable to waitressing, working at McDonald's, a department store, etc. I actually had somebody tell me that their job (a Correction's...

  12. Good side job for RN?

    TAB_RN replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    I was a bartender for many many years... and I am a nurse now. I have to say, with all due respect, the professions are nothing alike. NOTHING.... I find it absolutely mind boggling that you can...

  13. What if I don't go to work?

    TAB_RN replied to ladybugsea's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated last December in Massachusetts, as well. It was a bit easier for me because there are very few nursing graduates in December. 42 schools just gradated nurses this past May in...

  14. The NEW Nurse (Not the ones AOL speak of)

    TAB_RN replied to walk6miles's topic in General Nursing

    I feel so lucky that I work in a hospital with such a supportive staff. I am a new nurse and working on a Cardiac/thoracic surgical floor. We deal with the CABG patients, valve replacements and a...

  15. Pass rate for the RN-NCLEX is 100%

    TAB_RN replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Being a parent takes the highest level of "critical thinking"... doesn't make you a good nurse. Just because you served in war, and was a police officer doesn't make you a good nurse. When I state...

  16. Pass rate for the RN-NCLEX is 100%

    TAB_RN replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, Jon, thank goodness you have so much confidence in your abilities and critical thinking skills. From what I understand, you do not hold a job as a Registered Nurse yet, so you are not...

  17. Pass rate for the RN-NCLEX is 100%

    TAB_RN replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I didn't say you were a bad nurse because you didn't pass the NCLEX the first time. I am simply saying that just because you didn't pass, doesn't make the test a "bad" way of showing competence....

  18. Pass rate for the RN-NCLEX is 100%

    TAB_RN replied to MaleNursesRock's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Jon, The passing rate on the NCLEX (overall) is over 80%. That means, most people pass it on the first try. That is huge... and pretty amazing. Only one in my class of 42 failed the first time......

  19. My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    TAB_RN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The incentive should be ones health. There is plenty of support from our medical professionals, but the problem that seems to rehash over and over is that we live in a society that is not patient....

  20. My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    TAB_RN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree. This conversation usually brings forth the whole "fat discrimination" conversation. I simply cannot believe how unhealthy we as a society are becoming. It is truly

  21. My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    TAB_RN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We live in such a excuse driven society. The 23 year old we are talking about is just an example of the obesity in America. We live in a non-active era. It is sad. This is not "fat...

  22. My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    TAB_RN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's quite ridiculous to think that a 23 year old has "no" options as a truck driver to be healthy. That is absolutely

  23. My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    TAB_RN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't agree with you totally here. Many people feel they can control their symptoms with a pill. Many people also do not want to exercise because it is work and it is hard. Insurance does not...

  24. My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    TAB_RN replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This conversation is really getting ridiculous. First off, not every truck driver is a long haul truck driver. This 23 year old may not be at all. People that drive trucks can pack a cooler of...

  25. I know a CNA who's name badge says nurse!

    TAB_RN replied to RNFROMTHEHILL's topic in General Nursing

    A PA (Physician's Assistant) actually does get MD rates. They are more in line with an NP... They assist in surgery, prescribe, diagnose, etc. I guess I am not sure what you are stating... It said...
