    What is your opinion/knowledge base on recovery programs?

    Magsulfate replied to Magsulfate's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I know that in Texas, employers MUST know about the program that you're in. It is not off your record until AFTER you're finished. But you do have to work through it to finish it, and everyone knows....

    what to say?

    Magsulfate replied to power99's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It could possibly be made into a big deal. So, the OP is correct in trying to figure out what to say to these people. Some folks are okay with not knowing, and some really want to know what you did in...

    Brain farts

    Magsulfate replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

    I had so much going on that one time I let half a unit of blood drip on the floor because I forgot to hook it up to the patient's IV. I called the doc and told him and he laughed. Thank God he wasn't...

    Midline IV

    Magsulfate replied to 1Grateful1's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen lots of PICC's and lots of midlines. I maybe where I'm at it is a little different. It seems like the midline catheters are the same as the PICC's, only they're placed in the AC area. I know...

    My wife is having a Whipple!!!!

    Magsulfate replied to Smokey9283's topic in General Nursing

    I saw them do it once on Grey's Anatomy,, but, since I really only work LTAC ICU, I don't see much surgery. Please remember, we can't give advice here. I know that you are only asking for past...

    Help! How many visitors in the patient room?!!

    Magsulfate replied to crosby's topic in General Nursing

    As many as can possibly fit in the room. This gets on my nerves too! I understand that there are situations where someone might need to stay the night with the patient, but for the most part, I...

    what to say?

    Magsulfate replied to power99's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You might be able to tell them, you might have too. But if they get nosey and ask what you did, I suggest you don't tell them. If it really bothers you to tell them what you did, then tell them you...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    New BSN, 6 months, no interview. How long before I hang it up?

    Magsulfate replied to JaxNewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Houston, there are plenty of jobs here, even for new grads. I don't recommend moving to East Texas though,, as they might have jobs for you, the pay is so crappy that I had to up and move to...

    Want to move to nevada

    Magsulfate replied to PLTSGT's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They will probably reject you. Your contract in NJ needs to be finished up before you can move to another state. I've never heard of a nurse being able to move while they're in their nursing peer...

    friend fired after self reporting

    Magsulfate replied to pollyanna83's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Just like with anything else that is going good, there is a tendency for once self to let their guard down, so to speak. In walks the opportunity for addiction to rear it's ugly head. I have no "data...

    friend fired after self reporting

    Magsulfate replied to pollyanna83's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with you here. Every single recovering nurse that I've ever met (and I've met a lot)... looked healthy and good. None of them looked like crack addicts with missing teeth and blemishes all...

    What are the chances.....

    Magsulfate replied to AmyRN1227's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It sounds like your employer is referring you to the state BON, they probably won't report you to the police. They could, but they probably

    An update on my stepson

    Magsulfate replied to sissiesmama's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I bet boot camp would really do him some good. Seriously. If he doesn't do what the court ordered, maybe the judge will order boot camp. Surely the judge has seen other kids like
