  1. What in the heck are private LPN programs?

    mazy replied to BSN32's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yuck.

  2. Extremely Offensive ER experience

    mazy replied to NickB's topic in Emergency

    Your GP didn't know what to do with you and directed you to the ER. Given all the complaining and non-compliance on your part, my feeling is that you were ceremoniously

  3. I really need some advice ASAP

    mazy replied to jocelynlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with others. There is a reason behind his behavior that needs to be explored, not just by nursing, but the dr. and a social worker/psych worker also. There may be a way to treat some of his...

  4. Extremely Offensive ER experience

    mazy replied to NickB's topic in Emergency

    Again, I am just so completely confused by and suspicious of the "drug seeker" part of this

  5. ER Abuse

    mazy replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    How did they dx a UTI without a UA/C&S to begin with? I am working with a patient right now who has a family that demands that we send her out for every little glitch. Doesn't help that she is a...

    Who said the poor were glamorous? What an odd thing to

  7. Extremely Offensive ER experience

    mazy replied to NickB's topic in Emergency

    Not an ER nurse, no personal stake here, and so I'm not offended (I don't think the ER nurses here posting are either, they're just questioning your interpretation of events -- at least I don't think...

    mazy replied to farmernurse26's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Consider this to be a "practice" job. Sort of like taking the practice NCLECX before sitting down to do the real thing. Now that you have learned a thing or two about working as a nurse, you can go...

  9. If I Said on Here What I Wanted to Say.

    mazy replied to DixieRedHead's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow. I just had one of those thunderbolt moments. People can't find what they're looking for with the search engine because they can't spell. And it doesn't occur to them to go back and check their...

  10. Involuntary Psych Ward Commitment

    mazy replied to SugarBabe99's topic in General Nursing

    I really hope that we never get to the point where having psychiatric prblems is considered a criminal offense. I doubt many of us would pass muster. Your psych records are medical records and are...

  11. Things that make ya go, Hmmmmmmmmmm

    mazy replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    The term zero-restraint can be a little tricky. In most facilities, in my state at least, there are levels of restraint, going from chemical restraints, to physical restraints along the lines of side...

    mazy replied to defyinggravity2009's topic in General Nursing

    What is the income cap for low/middle/upper middle class? Because I think that according to your criteria, I am entitled to union representation. Also, I don't understand your rationale. I've worked...

    Lame you say?

  14. Need help..don't know if i should continue nursing

    mazy replied to sweetpumpernickel's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion FWIW is that someone who is 27 does not have enough world experience to be "brutally honest" with people. It's really not a very effective strategy for dealing with people, no matter what...

  15. Advocated for PT against the on-calls orders

    mazy replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. Maybe someone else can add some insight into this because I've worked with several NPs and MDs who flat our refuse to send patient's out to the hospital unless they are at...

  16. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    mazy replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    The Occupy movement in this country has taken off along the same trajectory of the movement of the "Indignados" in Europe, which has been going on in numerous countries across that continent for...

  17. Your body did what?!?

    mazy replied to pink_shoes99's topic in General Nursing

    I like how it sounds like you calmly told her to go home and search around for her coccyx. It's always in the last place you look, isn't it. Reminds me of a skit I saw one time on TV where a woman...

  18. Endorsed LPN but IV Cert not on License

    mazy replied to newtress's topic in California Nursing

    In my state, a lot of BON-approved courses allow you the option of challenging, which would be a much cheaper option than taking the whole course again. It might be worth studying up on the state...

  19. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    mazy replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm not up to speed on the legalities of being arrested as part of a large number of protesters in a demonstration like that. Does a conviction automatically follow? Is there anything concrete that...

  21. Fired within 90 days... advice?

    mazy replied to blue_belle9's topic in Nursing Career

    I would leave it off, if you feel like you want to address it you could mention it in the interview. But I've had a couple of jobs that didn't work out for me and I left before the probation period...

  22. Only 5 units of insulin per injection site??

    mazy replied to utah23LPN's topic in General Nursing

    What does she do with Lovenox and heparin? Because I wouldn't want to give twenty separate injections to give a 1ml dose. Two or three times a

    mazy replied to sarlpn's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm posting a series of one page essays written by a woman who lost her mother to cancer. I found this to be tremendously helpful reading when I went through the grief of...
