    "Your patient in 520 is in pain!"

    Magsulfate replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    From a nurses perspective, I more than likely already know about the patient's pain, but maybe I can't give him more narcotics because it is not time, or I have much much worse things to deal with....

    Why do I feel so horrible.

    Magsulfate replied to cptluciejensen's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First of all, I totally agree with the other three comments. You did the right thing. I am so proud of you. I know it is hard. Hard is not even a word to describe it. Now you've got experience with a...

    Oh dear,,, now I've read the comments I have to say one more thing,, or a few more things. First of all, I felt so drawn to commenting IMMEDIATELY once I read your post that I couldn't read the...

    pyxis dilemma

    Magsulfate replied to cptluciejensen's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't even take the time to read the responses here. YOU MUST REPORT THE FACTS TO YOUR SUPERVISOR IMMEDIATELY. It is not your place to feel bad for her. Your supervisor should be investigating...

    my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    Magsulfate replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    But in the Phillipines can the patients sue you for everything you're worth??? Can the government take away your livelyhood because you had to ignore patients while busting your butt taking care of...

    I need advice on management's reaction to resignation/notice

    Magsulfate replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    They are not paying those last two weeks notice. And, they are not paying ALL of the pto, just half of it. I only had a few hours of pto, but my friend had a lot more than that. I'm not sure what I...

    my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    Magsulfate replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you have to ask yourself this question, Is it worth your license just for a nursing job at this place??? Can you wait a month or two while looking for another job,, are you okay with not...

    I need advice on management's reaction to resignation/notice

    Magsulfate replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I've been at a new hospital for exactly a month now. Much much better. I'm not afraid of going into work anymore. All three of us are happy, and very glad that we moved...

    Anyone Who Has Ever Applied for Reinstatement

    Magsulfate replied to myownworstenemy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just tell the truth. And put in there anything and everything that you've done since, as far as recovery. :) Good

    New to this forum and need advice

    Magsulfate replied to kalypso418's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters, some places you don't need a CNA certificate to work as an aid. But, I also agree with your mother! It might be a little unfair to the employer, but think about it....

    First swine flu death reported in U.S

    Magsulfate replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From KTRK, One of Houston's TV stations. It sounds like the baby may have already been frail, but we will never know. SO, he was in Brownsville, then they moved him to Houston. I hope they had...

    Does anyone here have a baby sitter if you work night shift?

    Magsulfate replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    Ohhh man, $10 sounds really high! It depends on how many children you have, I guess. For my three kids when they were younger, I would pay $50 a night. My reasoning was, the kids went to sleep three...

    TPAPN Help!!

    Magsulfate replied to bigdttu's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You can take your UA drug screen at the place you work. TPAPN will send the cups, and you must take the forms with you everyday when you work. Your manager can collect it from you and they send it in...

    TPAPN

    Magsulfate replied to bigdttu's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not sure about the misdemeanor, that is something to ask an attorney. I am from the Houston area, but I will assume that Dallas is probably about the same as houston when it comes to hiring tpapn...

    How many hours do you work?

    Magsulfate replied to feralnostalgia's topic in General Nursing

    I work fri-sunday (the very easiest days to work) think about it. Hardly any management, doctors and such. So, really, most of the time it is less work. ANd the weekend option differential is $8 more...

    How many hours do you work?

    Magsulfate replied to feralnostalgia's topic in General Nursing

    For the first five years of being a nurse, I worked my butt off! But after that,, and just recently, my pay has gone up exponentially. This allows me to work only 3 twelve hour shifts a week....

    Just had a Consent Agreement go into effect, I feel like I'm hanging in limbo

    Magsulfate replied to GotoGirlRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, crap. You know, this is a pretty good place to find nurses that have experience finding jobs with restrictions/stipulations. You WILL find another job. It just won't be as easy as it has been....

    Social sorority and nursing school.

    Thank you whipping girl for posting your schedule,, it is all too common for nursing students to have schedules like these. I remember in my class it was the exception to NOT have at least one child....

    Social sorority and nursing school.

    Magsulfate replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Nursing

    Again, it always surprises me when a person asks for opinions and when negative opinions rear their ugly head, people get upset and don't want to hear it. I'm sure that you can do anything you set...

    Social sorority and nursing school.

    Magsulfate replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Nursing

    From a mother's perspective, and a successful nursing school graduate,, my opinion is that there was no way I would have been able to be involved in a sorority while in college. I was lucky to be...

    Wondering what to do! HELP

    Magsulfate replied to iloveclay's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just try your best, and don't give up. The best thing for you, probably, is LTC. Are you an RN? If so, it is mostly paperwork. You have come this far, don't give up.
