  1. My Theory On Modern Nursing vs How It Used To Be

    Todd SPN replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Saw the "men" in your post and wanted clarrification. Thought I might have to take off my ovenmitt for a second

  2. med passing

    Todd SPN replied to need answers's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have worked as an aide at 3 AL homes. One had a LPN on duty 24/7, so we never passed meds. One AL was attached to a SNF unit who always had a nurse on duty. However, I had one resident that always...

    Forgive my ignorance, but what does this

  4. My Theory On Modern Nursing vs How It Used To Be

    Todd SPN replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    agent, I think I can help you out here, as I was recently put in my place to a response I posted in a thread. BTW, when I read your post, I knew it was not meant to be hurtful and I know you want to...

  5. How is school effecting your relationship?

    Todd SPN replied to busybeaver's topic in General Students

    Wow. I think I love you. Here it is, in your face, no pussy-footing around, don't take offense, think about it. I'm

  6. How is school effecting your relationship?

    Todd SPN replied to busybeaver's topic in General Students

    You are correct. School won't last forever and it should be your #1 priority. Nursing education is not easy. If it was, everyone would be a nurse. It takes a certain level of maturity and...

  7. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

    Todd SPN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the family think he is just lazy. Myself, I wonder if being that overweight makes it hard to want to even get out and walk. I would think that even after the surgery he would have to exercise....

  8. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

    Todd SPN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is considered a high risk surgery. I have never had any exposure to people who have had it performed. I don't want to change the direction of this thread, but would like input from those...

  9. What qualities to look for in a mentor?

    Todd SPN replied to happystudent's topic in General Nursing

    This probably won't help you, but when I wanted a mentor, I had many questions about numerous subjects. Nothing specific except he had to be a male working in LTC. I knew I needed a sounding board and...

  10. I passed!!

    Todd SPN replied to nursesweet's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats. Isn't strange how in your mind you can't tell if you passed or not? I always thought that if the test stopped at 85 you passed, until the day of the test and I was talking with person there...

  11. why no responses to my post

    Todd SPN replied to cathytoday's topic in Nursing Career

    I recall your post and remember thinking how to answer it. It is not an easy yes or no answer. As someone stated, it is an individual decision and it is based on your reason why. I don't think many of...

  12. Sent home from Clinical

    Todd SPN replied to JuicyJem's topic in General Nursing

    In school, we also had the 3 absence rule held over our head. What a few students found out was there was a board of nursing instructor's that you could go before and plead your case should you happen...

  13. Just need to whine

    Todd SPN replied to rondafan's topic in General Nursing

    Brownie, I knew I was gonna get flamed. But, she did state she was willing to have criticisim. I didn't reply the way I did to be an A- hole. I'm sensing something else here beside a plethora of no...

  14. Just need to whine

    Todd SPN replied to rondafan's topic in General Nursing

    It is apparent you have hit rock bottom. Maybe it is time to accept put some blame on yourself and figure out how you are going to rectify some of this. I don't mean to be mean, and I am not...

  15. Job-hopping in nursing?

    Todd SPN replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

    I like the idea of running my own show. When I was doing NAC work, I signed on with a homehealth outfit that was a one person show. Had to be licensed as an independent contractor, take care of my own...

  16. Could use some input

    Todd SPN replied to tmiller027's topic in General Nursing

    W/o dr orders, I give nothing to nobody. Not even aspirin. A sure way to get tagged for practicing med w/o a license. You are correct to refuse. The chief may know law enforcement, but he should leave...

  17. Clinical Instructor Didn't Show Up

    Todd SPN replied to geekymomma's topic in General Students

    During clinicals my dr changed my medication. It caused me to oversleep and the next morning I was 45 min late to clinicals. I got no sympathy from the instructor. She wrote me up and sent me home for...

  18. Indian Reservation Nursing Community Health

    Todd SPN replied to sipapu's topic in General Nursing

    I was just looking in the help wanted section of the newspaper the other day and there was an ad for a nurse to setup and run a drug abuse program at one of the rezs. They didin't specify you needed...

  19. NPR story on RN's in California

    Todd SPN replied to txsugarlvn's topic in General Nursing

    Read an article last month where the head of a nursing union of one of the East Coast states says if better ratios was the law the nurses would come back and there would be no shortage in her state....

  20. Welcome to the ER. Please observe the following rules. (mild rant)

    Todd SPN replied to V. Nightingale's topic in Emergency

    Sorry, did not realize the format of the ER nurse forum. My apologizes to all. I was just viewing things from a public point of view and a bad experience involving a tia. It was not my intent to trash...

  21. Welcome to the ER. Please observe the following rules. (mild rant)

    Todd SPN replied to V. Nightingale's topic in Emergency

    Reading these posts, I understand it is a frustrating job. I would never want to do it as I think I would turn into someone I would not like. I used to work retail and I have eaten my share of...

  22. Welcome to the ER. Please observe the following rules. (mild rant)

    Todd SPN replied to V. Nightingale's topic in Emergency

    Frankly, I do. The common thread in the majority of these ED posts tend to demean the stupid public who are underfoot and should have stayed home and made an appt with their PCP for sometime like 3...

  23. Advice

    Todd SPN replied to Xina's topic in General Nursing

    Not all nursing assistants are certified. I would think with your background it would take you about half a day to find a job as an

  24. malpractice?

    Todd SPN replied to mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand your point. Could you enlighten

  25. Is it true?

    Todd SPN replied to FutureRNMichael's topic in General Nursing

    Probably a grandparent issue. Suggest you find a therapist to help you explore this most unnatural need.
