1. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

   mazy replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I'm old and I never want to leave bedside nursing. Hopefully I won't get pushed out by someone who thinks I belong at a

2. Tell the CNA to clock out and go home

   mazy replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   I absolutely agree with the point that management needs to be supportive of nurses disciplining CNAs. Unfortunately, I have worked with CNAs who wouldn't have any problem being sent home, even...

3. Insight About a LTC Job Interview I Just Had?

   mazy replied to Funnybunny's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   Doesn't sound like a good facility, especially if Medicare is ranking them poorly. If it's a rehab facility, and not just long-term care, you will be drowning with only a 1 RN to 20 patient ratio,...

4. Am I Only one who is irritated by doctors and medical shows?

   mazy replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Someone on this site once pointed out that all the highly dramatic things that we see doctors doing on TV as they are supposedly doing patient care are actually the meat and potatoes of the nurses...

5. Tell the CNA to clock out and go home

   mazy replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   To me it sounds like they are putting the nurses in an untenable position. Why is management making you do their job? It seems like a set-up that will create an adversarial environment between nurses...

6. Please advise how to resign in this situation.

   mazy replied to ozonezgrl's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   I agree with nursel56. This is not a big deal. Agencies keep a long list of potential staff, much more staff than they even have work for. You can put yourself on the inactive list and if something...

7. I BLEW MY CHANCE !!

   mazy replied to Bigmaine33's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I had a job interview back when I was first starting out where I went in to interview one person, then another, then got in to talk to another, and so on. Every person I talked to asked me how I felt...

8. LVN Certificate vs. LVN Licence?

   mazy replied to eolafsen's topic in LPN, LVN Students

   You don't get your LVN license until you pass the NCLEX, so if you complete an LVN program you will get your certificate or diploma, then proceed on to take your licensing exam, and then you will be a...

9. Just let me be...

   mazy replied to WldChrry's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   I'm a happy LPN and I understand the sentiment of the OPs post. I don't like the way it was presented. It does come across as whine-y to write what seems like a sonnet about why "I'm sorry you don't...

10. Witnessed unsterile procedure and feeling terrible about it

    mazy replied to cblake4293's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I am actually shocked by these posts about facilities where clean caths are acceptable. In all my years I have never heard of such a thing. My mind is boggled. At first I was kind of...

11. Nurse and CNA argument at the end of my shift

    mazy replied to zippeh's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It probably would have been best to put him to bed and cover the site well with a towel, and place some additional chux under the patient. A colostomy change is not life or death. And it was late and...

12. I maybe in trouble, HIPPA Violation

    mazy replied to ms.amy03's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The case could be made that the posting did not violate HIPAA but that doesn't mean the poster should not be disciplined in some way. She seems to be OK with that and willing to learn from the...

13. What's the BEST nursing shoes?

    mazy replied to BigCSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Danskos. You can't wear them to dance

14. LPN...not good enough??

    mazy replied to em1025's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    From the behavior you described I have a feeling that even if you were an RN, or a BSN, or an MSN, or any level on the nursing spectrum she would have found a way to put you down -- from your level of...

15. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

    mazy replied to Garethaus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Judging from his posts on this site I'm going to say that he sounds lonely. Lots of ideas but not a lot of people to talk to about them. Good thing that this board is open to everyone. But. There are...
