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

    mazy replied to DixieRedHead's topic in General Nursing

    if one more new nurse comes onto this site and starts complaining about experienced nurses eating their young i don't know what i am going to do. the minute i hear that phrase i just want to smack my...

  2. How much should I get?

    mazy replied to Llam86's topic in Nursing Career

    Wow. That doesn't seem like a fair wage at all. I earned more than that when I was a CNA. As an LPN I earn more than your supervisor does now. I wouldn't trust them to negotiate a "fair" wage after...

  3. The strategies that have been implemented to address the problem of medical errors

    mazy replied to jenannebeard's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think that part of the problem that you're facing is that although certain pracitcal standards and protocols have been implemented to prevent med errors, health care facilities are still scrambling...

    ScottE, the dancing baby and superheros are completely in sync with the music in the video. Did you do that on

  6. "You're a NURSE??"

    mazy replied to Joyfull77's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds kind of chicken-y soup-ish. My feeling is that the minute I start patting myself on the back for how "wonderful" I am, that is the moment I'm paying so much attention to myself that I'm not...

  7. Who are all these people dying in your arms?

    mazy replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    This was very nicely said. My first code happened when I was a nursing student in my first rotation. I just happened to be doing my vital signs and the patient crashed. The response team took over and...

  8. Kaiser Should Be Ashamed Of Itself!

    mazy replied to clinicalteach's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not going to say too much here because just the mention of Kaiser sends me off into a dark well of insane ranting and raving that leaves me in a VERY. BAD. PLACE. I've been a Kaiser patient and...

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

    mazy replied to DixieRedHead's topic in General Nursing

    I do the same thing as Nascar, reply to posts, reread, ask myself what I'm thinking, hit delete. Every once in a while I'm really stressed out or tired and I hit the submit button. Usually I don't...

  10. Anxiety....I hate it.

    mazy replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    I recommend the "Anxiety and Phobia Workbook" by Edmund Bourne. It helped me through a time when I was so paralyzed by anxiety that I couldn't even leave my house. Step by step chapters on the...

  11. Nurse Interfering with Medical Care, AGAIN!

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

    One of your younger sister's closest friend's doctor's nurse did this? That's a narrative that's kind of hard to

  12. should nurse managers wear scrubs?

    mazy replied to rebeccalee83's topic in General Nursing

    A page? You want us to actually give you the page of the book? Is this a joke thread? Like the "should I be a nurse?"

  13. Need help finding Nursing Ethical Dilemma articles

    mazy replied to carmitbb's topic in General Students

    Most schools have an honor code that says having other people do your school work is cheating so I guess you could discuss whether that is an ethical issue or just an issue of abiding by the rules. In...

  14. Heparin SubQ administration?

    mazy replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient Medications

    You have posted many many threads about your clinical instructor and seem to be questioning her at every turn. No one can really know the true situation you are living with. But your last statement...

  17. Delegation in an LTC setting

    mazy replied to WorkinMama's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've only ever written up one CNA in my life and that was because another (new) nurse had come in and immediately started writing people up for no particular reason, so I was asked to put my own...

  18. Is it illegal to initial when.....

    mazy replied to onthemark's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, I agree with the others. Depends on the treatment. Things like Baza are OK for the CNAs to do, removing geri sleeves, tubi-gripas, ted hose, those are in the treatment book and we nurses can sign...

  19. Nurses eat their Young

    mazy replied to NYLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I don't usually get much of a meal break so if there are young'uns nearby, watch out! Also, leaving notes correcting other nurses is really not cool. Treat the other nurses with some respect and have...

    mazy replied to PinkRocksLikeMe's topic in General Nursing

    Here's one that keeps popping up: "I'm a nursing student/brand new RN and blabbity blah LPNs/CNAs/ADNs/PT/OT/RT/old nurses, short nurses, tall nurses, young nurses, DO NOT get offended by this...

    mazy replied to PinkRocksLikeMe's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! OH my GAWD! I thought I was the only person who was getting frustrated about that! What is the deal with all of these new nurses coming onto the site, saying, I've been working X weeks or months...

  22. Do you find this article insulting?

    mazy replied to cacentralvalley's topic in General Nursing

    My father was in the hospital a while back and from day one, every single person that came in to the room told him his best option after discharge would be to go into a rehab facility. They pushed it...

  23. Needy, needy, needy... vent please.

    mazy replied to rksgray13's topic in General Nursing

    Warm prune juice mixed with MOM. It'll blast the everything out of the most chronically constipated out there. Works better than any med I have tried. Especially good if the stool is hard and dry. Oh....

  24. New Grad nurse @SNF...now on verge of quitting.

    mazy replied to iamNurse23's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds pretty typical of an SNF and if you can find something better, go for it. But a couple of things I don't understand. Why is it necessary to use a two patient identifier every time you give...
