  1. This can't be right!?

    mazy replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Working with paper MARs and TARs is a very unique animal, and even the best of us can miss things. I sit down at the end of my shift and go through them with a fine tooth comb and I always find holes...

  2. This can't be right!?

    mazy replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in General Nursing

    In our facility the night nurse audits the MARs and TARs and hands in a report of holes to the charge nurse the next day. Nurses with holes are required to come in within 24 hours to fill them in....

  3. HELP!! Orientation going horribly, but have interview for better job. what now?

    mazy replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm not quite sure what you are looking for here. You've got two threads going simultaneously, and many, many people offering very specific suggestions on how to proceed. I don't mean to be...

  4. HELP!! Orientation going horribly, but have interview for better job. what now?

    mazy replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

    If you do feel that it's something you want to mention, I would suggest that you just say that you didn't feel you had the resources at that job to provide the kind of quality patient care that you...

  5. Lame Nurse Practitioner

    mazy replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We are not all perfect all the time. Sometimes we make mistakes. Good grief. Even Mother Theresa had her off

  6. She/He Did What?!

    mazy replied to walkingonthestars's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, two threads, same OP, with similiar themes, here is the original AN thread, which was started in 2005, entitled "no she/he did not" and which pretty much ran it's course....

  7. Something wrong with this picture.

    mazy replied to Mimi2RN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess one possible scenario is that it could have been a foster parent. That would explain why she wouldn't go in to the exam and why she would have just dismissed the doctor's recommendation. I'm...

  8. Contagion?

    mazy replied to sweetsleep28's topic in General Nursing

    I going to come forward and admit that I love apocolyptic/end-of-the-world movies. Especially when I'm feeling down in the dumps. I loved Andromeda Strain, anyone remember Omega Man? Sometimes you...

  9. Something wrong with this picture.

    mazy replied to Mimi2RN's topic in General Nursing

    If the dr. wanted the girl to have an MRI and the mother said she couldn't afford it and sent the girl back to tell the doctor, wouldn't the doctor have made an effort to bring the mother in to...

  10. Orientation and Job NOT what was promised, want to quit!

    mazy replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it is very important not to bash your old job. The nursing community is small and people know about other facilities, believe me. Your interviewers know. The question is almost a trick in that it...

  11. Resume Feedback Needed

    mazy replied to Sunny Lioness's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    i think for your employment history it would be good to set bullets with short concise descriptions of specific duties i.e. for the staff nurse part -- i'm just throwing this stuff out there --...

  12. Your one stop for all the most popular pressing questions on allnurses!

    mazy replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    That particular poster started several simultaneous threads on that "quick question," recieving hundreds of replies, none of which motivated her to change her mind one bit. I actually think at this...

  13. Effect of Public Reprimand on Current Job?

    mazy replied to com4table's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to say, it will show up on the BON website. I go on there occasionally to check that my licensing credentials are up to date, all you have to do is search the nursing database, type in your last...

  14. Orientation and Job NOT what was promised, want to quit!

    mazy replied to lpn2rn81's topic in General Nursing

    Is this an LTAC by any chance? Sounds an awful lot like Kindred. Please don't give up based on your experience in one place. This sounds like an exceptionally bad

    Was this an actual post?!!!! Please, point me to it, I'm

  16. Quick answer to question, pls..

    mazy replied to tunafish1's topic in General Nursing

    Well stated. And I was wondering if this was the same poster. Looks like there is a lot more here than meets the

  17. Help! Pre-employment nicotine test!

    mazy replied to noviceRN22's topic in General Nursing

    Very well said. It bothers me that people come up with these overly simple, knee-jerk, draconian plans for those in society who do not engage in desirable behaviours -- deny jobs and health care to...

  19. Medication administration, not following the rules

    mazy replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you cannot sign off on meds before you give them. You also cannot prepour meds. So I would say that you are correct and that this situation is not

  20. Medication administration, not following the rules

    mazy replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    I'm kind of groggy here so this may be obvious to others but what is a "prepacked" med? Also, just because you learned to do things one way in school, that does not mean it is the only way. So if you...

    mazy replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I can't find it anymore! I guess they moved

  22. $450 scrub top... yeah, I know, for real.

    mazy replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think for me the funny thing about this, as someone who does wear scrubs, is that anyone would pay good money to actually wear them in a non-medical setting and think that they are making a fashion...

    mazy replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    That was IQ guy! And entire nursing school course catalog guy! And bipolar guy! All wrapped up into one very tightly wrapped scary little lulz package! I wonder what happened to

  25. Asking Recommendation Letters from People You've Never or Hardly Met

    mazy replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the way Noahsmama says to handle it, and especially in the issues that you want addressed in the reference. The dean doesn't know you, but he/she knows the program, what they look for in...
