  1. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    What's wrong with your Supervisor? Does she not also have the title "RN" after her name and has to follow the same Standards of Care as prescribed by your state's BON? Did she stop being a nurse and...
  2. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    I was faced with a similar situation after my Dad had had a TURP years ago. He was only a few hours post-op and was on a Murphy Drip, and my Mom was freaking out because the feeder bag was rapidly...
  3. It's just like the saying: "A little knowledge is dangerous". They see something on TV or read about it in Reader's Digest, and suddenly they're experts...and we're blithering idiots. And, yes, the...
  4. Are we being phased out?

    Exactly. I was an LPN back in 1978, when rumors began circulating that Practical Nurses were going to be demoted to the equivalent of Aides. Rather than risk having my title and bedside skills...
  5. For those with Nursing caps, please answer asap

    When we got capped during our Freshman year we received plain white caps, followed by black diagonal stripes on each side at the bottom of our caps at the beginning of our Junior year, and a long...
  6. Mom trying to talk me out of nursing

    I credit my late mother for not only encouraging my dream to become a nurse, but also for fighting to get me into public school to begin with after I was tested and labeled as "mentally retarded". I...
  7. Yeah, that's right, it's my fault.

    Just another old Fart blowing out steam (and I don't have to to tell you from where), as far as I'm
  8. I think I'm in big trouble

    YOU are not the one in trouble. THEY are. If these facilities (for whatever reasons) can't achieve or maintain safe staffing ratios, then they need to SHUT THEIR
  9. Why is it ok to euthanize animals but not humans

    Good
  10. problems on orientation

    I quit my Agency job just last week and only 4 days into orientation due to the lack of orientation and hours I was receiving at the facility. They only had one nurse available to orient me, and she...
  11. Almost fired today

    Yep. I was offered a great-sounding position as a Staff Nurse in a small rural hospital years ago, after my husband and I separated and I also needed verification of employment to get the mortgage for...
  12. I worked in the surgical unit of a major hospital years ago whose unit manager was a sorry excuse for a nurse, berating a co-worker of mine for spending "too much time" with one of her patients, who...
  13. When you get to the error page, click on the health link and it will take you to the article. Yeah, I read it all right, and it doesn't surprise me a bit...which is why I walked away from hospital...
  14. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    Amen, Spacenurse! I used to be "one of them"...and got out, for it was like working in a sweatshop, and the work itself was SO damn impersonal, mindless and repetitious. It has taken me nearly eight...
  15. How much for your soul? (This is very long.)

    I wouldn't be a manager again if my life depended on it. I played fetch for the Big Guys for 18 years, working 16-20-hour days while they and their cronies collected $$$'s in bonuses and disappeared...
  16. Studied for and became a Nurse's Aide at the age of 18, Went back to school and got my LPN license at the age of 21, Began my prereq's for RN school at the age of 25, Enrolled in Diploma program at...
  17. FIRED!!! OMG what do I do now?

    Remind your husband that YOU were the one who got fired and NOT him, OK? I can sympathize with the loss of your job. I had another job lined up on December 27th after my temporary job ended on...

  19. Whats the longest you've had a pt be admitted for?

    The longest I can remember a patient of mine being cared for in an acute care setting was three months. This was back in the mid-to-late 70's, when payment was still Fee-for-Service. This was an...
  20. Anyone ever pass out at work....I just did :'(

    I did, when I was 6-1/2 months pregnant with my son. I was working days, and was in the med room getting ready to pass morning meds, when everything suddenly began spinning. I turned around, and...
  21. My son called me today, very concerned about a letter he has received from our local school authorities. My granddaughter is a typical six-year-old and is attending public Kindergarten. Well, as kids...
  22. Get a Doctor's Note or 30 Days in Jail

    Honey, my son would no more get involved with the ACLU than he would with the Democratic Party, for he is a STAUNCH Republican and HATES anything or anybody who has to do with a liberal agenda. We did...
  23. Get a Doctor's Note or 30 Days in Jail

    Sure it is. My son did not miss ONE day of school until he was in the seventh grade, coming home with a fever of 103 degrees and throwing his guts up. He wound up being hospitalized for three days...
  24. Get a Doctor's Note or 30 Days in Jail

    He told me that in the letter he received stated that it was State law requiring mandatory school attendance. My daughter-in-law was supposed to take this matter up with the school today. Our school...
  25. Where is the closest nursing program to Roswell?

    The closest one to you will probably be Kennesaw State University, which is easily accessible to your area of town. I have worked with several nurses who graduated from their nursing program, and they...
