  1. $450 scrub top... yeah, I know, for real.

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

    Dang. I was going to make a joke along the lines of "next thing you know, they'll be making designer hospital gowns...." and turns out you actually found them! I can't find them, I got all turned...

  2. What did the Doctor mean! Someone help

    mazy replied to Del07's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Del07, I can see you are really struggling with this and putting aside all talk of what is appropriate dosing for what patient -- which we really can't know, looking at this from the outside -- I am...

  3. What did the Doctor mean! Someone help

    mazy replied to Del07's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Wow. I have never given that much. But if I did receive an order for that much coverage I would be checking and double checking every which way I could to make sure that it was an appropriate dose....

  5. Nursing Conspiracies - Do I Need a Tinfoil Nurse's Cap?

    mazy replied to KeepClimbing's topic in General Nursing

    I get the intent of the OPs post, but I think the examples offered are not "conspiracy" theories, they are actual real things that are happening in the world. By calling them conspiracies the OP is...

  6. What did the Doctor mean! Someone help

    mazy replied to Del07's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I've never heard of 50 units of regular insulin in LTC. Fifteen sounds much more likely for a BS of 425. Also, 15 can sound a lot like 50. What were the sliding scale doses for lower blood sugars?...

  7. Attention Nurses....

    mazy replied to jesskidding's topic in General Nursing

    Well what is your philosophy? I think an interesting way for you to look at this would be for you to figure out your own personal philosophy of nursing, and why you got into the profession, and what...

  8. Med errors: subpoena, copy of incident report

    mazy replied to nursing.mypassion's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure where the nurse filling out incident reports is working but in LTC/SNF you have to fill out an incident report for every single unexpected issue that comes up. Skin tears, bruises,...

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

    mazy replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm not surprised since saline contains dihydrogen monoxide, which is lethal as you know.

  10. Am I freak for charting meds as I pull them?

    mazy replied to Izzy11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  11. Graduated 12/10, still no job, giving up...

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

    Seriously? I had no idea that men had to deal with this kind of crap at this level. I know that there is a huge social stigma against male nurses, I just didn't realize that men had to go to such...

  12. pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    mazy replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    A little off topic. I had a group of students come through once, I knew the clinical instructor very well. She had worked PRN at another facility I worked at, we had sent her home because she came in...

  13. Dreaming about work?

    mazy replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Let's see Dreamed there was a foley coming out of my bath tub drain, patent and draining clear yellow urine. Dreamed my med cart was possessed by the devil and was chasing me around the facility....

  14. Am I freak for charting meds as I pull them?

    mazy replied to Izzy11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I usually sit down and go through the MAR at beginning of shift to note any new meds or changes. While I do that I flag all the "off-time" meds -- the ones that I give out of the time frame of the...

  15. Graduated 12/10, still no job, giving up...

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

    mazy replied to nursenyiva's topic in General Nursing

  17. pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    mazy replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Please, please, do not whip out your iPod in front of a patient to answer a question. Also, do not rely on your iPod to prep a patient for a procedure. The iPod is no better a resource than google....

  18. Nurses fighting for everyone

    mazy replied to scecile's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Any chance ever that National Nurses or any other Nurse advocacy organization will ever recognize the voices or value of LPNs in this

  19. insulin for non diabetics to prevent diabetes.. and aging? WHAT?

    mazy replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if he keeps it up with the self-administered insulin he'll be dead soon, so problem solved. Unfortunately, it's likely that even he doesn't believe this hogwash, and even he doesn't use that...

  20. Thick skin

    mazy replied to Chixie's topic in General Nursing

    I think for me it happened when I realized that 99.9% of the s**t raining down on me had nothing to do with me, I just happened to be in the way. When people are blasting out the negativity, the best...

  21. New Job -- Unfriendly Welcome By Staff

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

    Yes, I've never understood this strategy of dealing with people. It is viewed as weakness and I can see why. It just seems to be very passive-aggressive, as if to say "I'm going to ignore what you are...

  22. LPNA left on my own

    mazy replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I am really surprised they are letting you work without a license. Well. Considering it's LTC not that much, given how corrupt those facilities can be. But I have never heard of a nurse working...

  23. FIRED ON MY DAY OFF!!!!!! I thought this type of thing only happened in the movies.

    mazy replied to deenlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Since this seems to be an ongoing issue that is getting quite complicated, as these things do, I would suggest you heavily edit your original post or maybe even delete it. There is a lot of...

  24. fired... where can a bad nurse go to find a job?

    mazy replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't write yourself off as stupid. You may be a good nurse, you may be a bad nurse, but please don't define yourself by your job. Sometimes I think nursing is like an abusive relationship. It...

  25. Patient fell and died a few days later, was it my fault?

    mazy replied to GlitterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Tokyotea, I am very sorry you are going through this. Nurses are expected to have superpowers and we are only human. The patient had a whole lifetime of issues that played into the reason he was in...
