  1. They won't stop calling me!

    mazy replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Please let us know if any beautiful women throw themselves on you when you stop using Axe...you might be able to prove an inverse correlation. Or something like

  2. They won't stop calling me!

    mazy replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Finally, finally someone said it. Also, the poster's use of language is very strange -- stilted and kind of hyperbolic. Something just isn't right...also, join date is the 19th. I think that's...

  3. Can a new grad negotiate union pay?

    mazy replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    My experience working in a union shop and coming from a long line of union rabble rousers is that the union negotiates the pay that the facility gives you. You are not paid by the union. So the issue...

    Wow, y r u all bieng so mean 2 me? I thought nursing was a carnig profesion, I hope non of u r ever my nurse. I never going 2 be so brunt out ad bitten. Ur just jelous because I'm so young and pretty...

  5. How hard are these pre-licensure courses?

    mazy replied to Weber's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on your IQ, your credentials, and your criminal

  6. Interview Tues, leaving ICU for LTC

    mazy replied to kimmersRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Erm, yeah. Not sure why anyone exeriencing burnout would want to go to LTC. It is a seriously stressful environment, especially if you are the kind of nurse who is dedicated to providing high quality...

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

    mazy replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you left out the one about "should I take out a jillion dollars in loans so I can get my degree as soon as possible and get a job right away; or should I go to CC for cheap and graduate a year...

  8. Singled out nursing student

    mazy replied to Blacksheep80's topic in General Students

    I've always wondered about this myself. The first day I attended nursing school everyone had already formed cliques and were talking and laughing, I was sitting in the back of the room alone and...

  9. Why is home health considered an "easier" area of nursing, suitable for beginners?

    mazy replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I wouldn't pay any mind, the same as with threads about ADNs being "lesser" than BSNs, LPNs being "lesser" than RNS, SNF being "lesser" than acute, LTC being even MORE "lesser" and on and on...

  10. What are your credentials and what's your IQ?

    mazy replied to Weber's topic in General Nursing

    Aha. Well that explains

  11. Is this really the norm?

    mazy replied to WittySarcasm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OK, I'm going to ask a really stupid question here, I'm asking it because I have been in your shoes way too often...Have you the nursing staff spoken directly to the docs about this? The reason I'm...

  12. Requesting not to work with certain person?

    mazy replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I understand your concerns but I think you handled this badly and it will come back on you. You should not have emailed your DON and staffing coordinator, you should have requested a face to face...

  13. Scheduling expectations

    mazy replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    The facility where I work now has a no vacation policy from mid December through January. Other facilities I've worked in have a policy that you will only get holiday/vacation pay if you work your...

  14. is there anything better to say then it's not your fault

    mazy replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. Using platitudes is usually more comforting to the person who is listening, and who doesn't know what to say and is very uncomfortable with the conversation.The problem is that when...

  15. language barrier- weird situation

    mazy replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it is important to learn to speak the language of the country you are in, but recognize that some people have limited resources to do that. I don't think that trying to negotiate a crisis...

  16. my problem with allnurses...why so pessimistic?

    mazy replied to pymschrs's topic in General Nursing

    let me understand the logic here. because bad things only happen to other people. they happen to other people because they're not as amazing as me. i am amazing because i know how to do things right,...

  17. How do VA and state nursing homes differ from "for profit" nursing homes?

    mazy replied to Let's help out's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with the PP who said to never ever clock out and come back in to do charting. If anything were to happen to a patient you so much as touched, or if you were to fall and injure yourself, the...

  18. Help Would you negotiate salary LVN Home health rate

    mazy replied to BeautifulDoeLVN's topic in Home Health

    I don't really understand everything in your post or in the other post you started on this topic either. But. It seems that you are upset about your salary, the requirements of the job, and that they...

  19. Noncompliant parents. Do I have any rights to protect my license?

    mazy replied to RNC-NIC's topic in General Nursing

    At this point it really sounds like it is more about protecting the patient than protecting your license. And while you can at some level protect yourself by documenting, if anything were to happen to...

  20. No, apparently you don't know it all!

    mazy replied to himilayaneyes's topic in General Nursing

    Don't throw up, it makes me sad

  21. language barrier- weird situation

    mazy replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you really hit the nail right on the head with that. Very well

  22. Is this a huge mistake?

    mazy replied to sarahg88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Eventually you will get to the point where you learn to stand firm in your priorities. Giving an IV med is more important than charting, and so next time you will know to say to the nurse that you...

  23. How long should it take to pass meds to 44 to 45 residents

    mazy replied to djsugar's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I work 3-11 and don't give all my meds at once. I don't prepour either. And I've got some very complex patients. But I guess I'm lucky because I only have 25 patients and some fantastic CNAs, along...

  24. language barrier- weird situation

    mazy replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    English is her second language and she can communicate as best as she can if need be but even under the best of circumstances it is exhausting to try to process information in a different language....

  25. How long should it take to pass meds to 44 to 45 residents

    mazy replied to djsugar's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Between looking at the MAR, opening the med cart, finding the med, pulling the med, locking the cart, walking to the patient room, and giving the med, the minimum amount of time it would take to just...
