  3. i need some help -- DESPERATELY!!

    jill48 replied to NurseyTee's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent idea Tazzi! If the patient can testify that should take care of the situation, for the most part. But you probably still need to figure out why what you did is considered wrong, and find...

  5. Ethical ???

    jill48 replied to nurseguinness's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Now I see what you are saying. And I agree. After 11 years in med/surg and geriatrics, I can honestly say that there is nothing there that would ever prepare me for such a specialty. I admire a new...

  6. Things you wish you could say to your co-workers...

    jill48 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1. Maybe you shouldn't wear a thong with those pants, I don't care to see your bum. 2. When I ask if you need any help, it is not an invitation for you to give me the dirty jobs that you don't want...

  7. Help!!!!!!!!!

    jill48 replied to Ga_LPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Oh hell no. That is NOT cool. I would have a FIT if my nurses note was not in there. Girl, run away from that place and run as fast as you can. For real. This sounds like a terrible place to...

  9. NOT TRYING TO START A DEBATE: but what is the differences between LVN and RN scope ?

    jill48 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    This may be the case in your state, but in mine, Missouri, the LPN does all these things. LPN's are also DON's. The only thing the LPN cannot do in my state is 1) spike the blood for a transfusion,...

  10. pts going out to smoke

    jill48 replied to crissrn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Even though I am a smoker and I budget my time effectively, I have seen other nurses take advantage of the fact that they smoke; I find it rude and unprofessional. So I know what you

  11. I Need A Fresh Start, Please Advise

    jill48 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure most of you that have been here for a while know from my past posts that I haven't been able to work for over 3 years. My license was suspended because the IRS said I had not filed taxes in...

  14. i need some help -- DESPERATELY!!

    jill48 replied to NurseyTee's topic in General Nursing

    I truly believe you when you say you adore your patients and would never do anything to hurt them. But the simple fact is that you cannot use a sheet to tie a patient into any position. Even if you...

  15. I'm getting ready to graduate and I need your help with a research paper

    jill48 replied to weatherby's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you should specify in your title that this is for RN's only. I'm not trying to be rude, but I went through your whole quiz before I realized that you did not want any input from LPN's. Good...

  16. Lazy Workers

    jill48 replied to marjoriemac's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree that it sounds like neglect (not taking them to the bathroom) and abuse (making them face the wall), but sometimes you have to take your lunch while sitting with them. Sometimes there really...

  21. what do you remember the most about psych nursing

    jill48 replied to soozeeq246's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, my memories of psych nursing only bring back feelings of COMPLETE FEAR. I was a seventeen year old unit secretary on a teenage psych unit. I don't know how they do it now, but back then I...

  22. Is this legal?

    jill48 replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your advice. I checked the statutes for my state and it wasn't very clear, so I emailed them and asked them to tell me where to find the specific statutes that relate to this...

  23. I can't get a job, i'm so sad.

    jill48 replied to Lmex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know you said that you looked online, but have you posted your resume online? I posted mine on hotjobs and monster.com and my email box has been overflowing everyday with offers. I still can't...

    jill48 replied to jill48's topic in General Nursing
