  2. sexual harrassment

    jill48 replied to ChristinaV's topic in General Nursing

    Now that's what I'm talking about. You got it girl. There is a difference between being assertive and aggressive. Everyone today is so afraid of what is "politically correct". It's too bad. I...

  3. Phrase "nurse wannabe" ??

    jill48 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a problem with neighbors giving eachother medical advice "over their fence". We're human. We just want to help eachother out. It's only natural. But I DO have a problem when someone...

  4. Call yourself a nurse?

    jill48 replied to kittagirl's topic in General Nursing

    I know this topic comes up alot, but I never stop getting angry about it. I'm so tired of people saying they are nurses when they are not. I have decided that from this point on I will ask them,...

    jill48 replied to AfloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    jill48 replied to ChristinaV's topic in General Nursing

    Right.

  7. I made a boo boo!!!

    jill48 replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    Your responsibility is to witness the waste. It's not your job to stand there and ask a bunch of questions about it. That would be an insane waste of time that I don't

  8. Telephone Orders- Perplexed in MA!

    jill48 replied to kathybMA's topic in General Nursing

    I have had to deal with this quite often when it gets very busy, and I have been on both ends of the situation. What I usually do is write T.O., then the order, then per so and so, then a slash, then...

    Hi. I can help you also. I have been an LPN for eleven years. Med/surg and geriatrics. Feel free to PM

  10. night shift not calling critical lab values

    jill48 replied to burn out's topic in General Nursing

    Not your fault. Period. What is more important, your patient's safety or the other nurse's feelings? You did what needed to be done, and after that it was all up to the manager about what to do...

  11. Why must all docs bathe in cologne?

    jill48 replied to kessadawn's topic in General Nursing

    I would trade your docs who wear too much cologne for a few of the docs I have worked with that smelled like that had not had a shower in a week.

  12. New grad just got fired

    jill48 replied to rn2day's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry for you to have to go through this. Especially with your first job. It sounds like it was a bad supervisor, not your fault. Try to remember that. You will be better off away from a...

  13. sexual harrassment

    jill48 replied to ChristinaV's topic in General Nursing

    The first thing I would probably do is punch him in the face; that would actually be a reflex action for me if someone was to assault me like this. Then I would call the police. What the heck is...

  14. Careplans in your head?

    jill48 replied to Troischats's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that after doing it so long, most of the care planning is in your head. Everywhere that I have worked, the careplans are already in forms and divided up by diagnoses. So if I had a patient...

  15. How to get to work in a snowstorm?

    jill48 replied to AfloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    All of the facilities that I have worked at had the current shift nurses stay when the next shift nurses called in. I live in St. Louis and we can get a great deal of snow. Personally, this is my...

  16. LPN'S are NURSES TOO

    jill48 replied to imnrs2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  17. Would you do anything about it?

    jill48 replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with this post. I think you need to whatever you can to stop this woman. If she keeps giving out medical advice and medications, someone is going to get hurt. I would not call her...

  18. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    jill48 replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with you. I was never a CNA before I went to nursing

  19. No pain meds for you, mother

    jill48 replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the only reason some people were suggesting to call the doctor was that maybe if they hear it from him (or her), they would accept it. Not that that is right, but it's just one more thing to...

  20. No pain meds for you, mother

    jill48 replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    Right now the family doesn't accept her pain even as she admits it. It's only going to get worse after she cannot tell you anything. They are never going to believe the nonverbal signs of pain. If...

  21. Scary Career Wrecker?

    jill48 replied to theofficegirl's topic in General Nursing

    That story just scared the crud out of me. And I'm not new at this. It can happen anytime. So very, very

  22. Dismissed from nursing school...appeal denied

    jill48 replied to beeenieweeenie, RN's topic in General Students

    I was kicked out of nursing school after I got a D in nutrition. I felt like the biggest loser in the world. I was in a daze of disbelief the entire ride home and I lived an hour away from the...

  23. Posters that are not nurses

    jill48 replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Over the years, I have noticed that many people I come into contact with think that just anybody can be a nurse. I personally find that to be very insulting, but I let it slide. I know how hard my...

  24. Health Care Whistle Blowing: Caught between a rock and a hard place

    jill48 replied to Whistleblower's topic in General Nursing

    I hope that I would be as brave as you were in such a situation. I had recieved a reprimand on my license, not a suspension or anything like that, but my name in the nursing news paper in my city...
