  1. Going green makes me red in the face

    mazy replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    The pink campaign bothers me because these companies don't say what amount they are donating to brca research, they don't say how it's being used (actual research or administrative/advertising costs),...

  2. Kicked out of nursing school for leaving a bed in the high position...

    mazy replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    This is good advice for nursing students. Nursing school is very hard, the standards are very high and you cannot mess around. I know you are disappointed but people do manage to graduate from nursing...

  3. Problems with/in Long-Term Care Facilities

    mazy replied to 12leakec's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    There is a sub-forum on this site specifically for LTC/Geriatric

  4. For the love of Pete.....Where are you?!

    mazy replied to APRN.'s topic in General Nursing

    I prefer to maintain my anonymity. Also, a lot of those questions about policy and procedure can be better answered by calling the appropriate regulatory agency in the OPs' state. In addition,...

  5. If I see one more post titled....

    mazy replied to PinkRocksLikeMe's topic in General Nursing

    I stumbled on Three's Company on TV a while ago, and watched it to the point where I had started planning my life around it, so I had to stop (didn't catch it the first time around). At any rate, what...

  6. Going green makes me red in the face

    mazy replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I do understand your rant. Doing the "right" thing for the earth is a luxury that many of us can't afford. And it can be very annoying to deal with people who are so lacking in self awareness that...

  7. Ok people, face facts: Staffing in LTC is always going to be outrageous!

    mazy replied to southernbeegirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The nurses who've worked in LTC for years and years are NOT happy. That is why we complain, only to be told by people like the OP to get over ourselves. I have worked in LTC/SNF for years and I love...

    mazy replied to PinkRocksLikeMe's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! The most offensive thing was those hideous disco athletic shorts. Which, by the way Scott, were yellow. OK, off to think about puppies and

    mazy replied to PinkRocksLikeMe's topic in General Nursing

    A little OT but I remember one time being on the bus, there was this guy sitting across from me, older, kind of hairy, hefty guy. He was wearing those tight little satiny running shorts that they used...

  10. Terminated and need advice

    mazy replied to wecan11's topic in General Nursing

    Oh good grief. That sounds like an absolutely impossible situation to navigate. I think you are lucky to be out of there. Sorry it ended badly for you, but I think you actually got the good end of...

  11. Terminated and need advice

    mazy replied to wecan11's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused also. Why are the insulin orders in the

  12. Ok people, face facts: Staffing in LTC is always going to be outrageous!

    mazy replied to southernbeegirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If we don't talk about problems how do we solve them? If we don't say to someone "this is wrong" and tell them why it is wrong, and have that person know and then say it to someone else, how do we...

  13. Should i be a nurse?

    mazy replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    It's bizarre and hilarious how many people keep dropping in on this thread and thinking it is serious. Great experiment about how biased people can be about processing information. This would a be a...

  14. New Grad RN- Drowning in overloaded LTC setting- LOW STAFFING!

    mazy replied to Jaimie.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Give your two weeks notice like a professional and move on. I agree with dreamer, it's just an SNF. Facilities like that can never hold on to people and I doubt they will be surprised that you're...

    mazy replied to PinkRocksLikeMe's topic in General Nursing

    Holy cow, diva. I never noticed your avatar until now. Wowza! Yes, it is a real post, from this weekend. At any rate. No one has discussed the proper route of administration for cowbell. I'm thinking...

  16. Should i be a nurse?

    mazy replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Oh

  17. Be a nurse or not?! HELP ME PLEASE!

    mazy replied to ENT RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would much rather deal with poop and vomit than deal with what's inside people's mouths. Not sure if you are buying into the whole nursing shortage myth where nurses earn buckets of money, have...

  18. Is following a doctor's order "too many" narcs?

    mazy replied to 33762FL's topic in Medical-Surgical

    If the dr. orders Q4, then it's acceptable to give Q4. If the patient looks calm and is walking around and is asking for pain meds, the first thing to think about is that the Q4 pain meds are managing...

    Oh wow. I thought you were kidding around, but this is a real

  20. Narcotic diversion, but not to self

    mazy replied to LowPaidNurse21's topic in General Nursing

    Aside from all the potential med error issues, the patients are paying for those meds. So a card full of pills for Mr. Smith costs x dollars a pill; you take one of those pills for Mr. Jones well, he...

    XTXRN, I think if you want it to get it into the right place, you're going to have to aim

  23. Narcotic diversion, but not to self

    mazy replied to LowPaidNurse21's topic in General Nursing

    You really do have a very, very thorough and detailed understanding of what happened to your friend. I think that even if something like that had happened specifically to me, I wouldn't be able to...

  24. Do I need to quit?

    mazy replied to TriniMa's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I know jobs are hard to come by, but that place sounds like a nightmare and is probably on the verge of being shut down. I would suggest that you get out
