  1. Bad Experience with Nurses at hospital, rethinking my major now.

    Isabelle49 replied to Lindsey-Student's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses the OP encountered in the ER were completely out of line. This OP does not have her head 'far in the clouds'. It is a nurse's duty to treat all patients with respect and dignity and the...

  2. Are any of you loyal?

    Isabelle49 replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Nursing

    I am as loyal to the company I might work for as they are to me and the patients I care for. It usually isn't much in the way of

  3. Nursing caps

    Isabelle49 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

  4. RN documenting visits not made

    Isabelle49 posted a topic in Home Health

    RN pretending to see her patients, making up notes and signing same, all the while not seeing the patients. It's not her first go round with this either. Have any of you had this happen at your...

  5. RN documenting visits not made

    Isabelle49 replied to Isabelle49's topic in Home Health

    Funny thing, the RN is never reported to the BON. Might be different this time, cause I just might drop the nickel. I'm on my way out of nursing and will not tolerate that kind of activity - just...

  6. Tired of being flexible

    Isabelle49 replied to paddler's topic in Home Health

    I know, but there is nothing that says they can't get up off their a...s and help when the only person available is overloaded. In our office, the staff is as wide as they are tall! Might do them...

  7. no dose to give written on MAR anymore?

    Isabelle49 replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    Why do you think they are doing this? Are data entry persons they ones that calculate the amount and enter it? I would think if the nurse wrote it on the MAR to be data entries, it would be

  9. Can a NP perform plastic surgery?

    Isabelle49 replied to Laboratorian's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would bet the NP injecting silicon/silikon into client's buttocks by flying under the radar! If I'm not mistaken, an NP has to practice under a physician's direction. I could be wrong, but I don't...

  10. Telling your head nurse that they...uhh.., sabotaging new staff?

    Isabelle49 replied to hazyblue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Funny thing, as staff nurses, we are evaluated by our managers, head nurses, DON's etc. Do we ever get to evaluate these same people that evaluated us? I think it's time for a change! They are not...

  11. Do home health (visiting) nurses usually work on holidays?

    Isabelle49 replied to lsvalliant's topic in Home Health

  12. Became an independent nurse provider and now my agency is taking legal action help!!

    Isabelle49 replied to sblanchard1983's topic in Private Duty

    My husband who is an attorney has told me that a non-compete clause is not worth much! You may have to consult an attorney though, cause laws from state to state do vary. I wish you luck. At any...

  13. Just took random drug test

    Isabelle49 replied to learninglessons12's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It is not a good idea to use illegal substances when you have a nursing license and want to keep

  17. Controversial new policies at Baylor!!!!

    Isabelle49 replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    It sure would be a perfect world if everyone was healthy wouldn't it? It's not, and it is not fair to discriminate against people who have health problems because of genetic predisposition, or lapses...

  21. Calif Probation New legislation for DUI

    Isabelle49 replied to onlytimeforme's topic in California Nursing

  23. Would you be insulted if.....

    Isabelle49 replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't be upset at all. I would prefer to wash in front of them. If I have to open the door to their room to enter, then hands need to be washed in the room and I have always done

  24. Tired of being flexible

    Isabelle49 replied to paddler's topic in Home Health

    If your manager is an RN or there is another RN in an office position, that person should have been more than willing to help out, but field visits would certainly be below

  25. Possible termination for HIPAA violations

    Isabelle49 replied to Magnolia619's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Best to just be completely up front with your manager and HR. You are a new nurse and still in high learning and interest mode. Your curiosity could be seen as a desire to want to know more about...
