  1. going for interview but starting to seem shady

    mazy replied to NissaNurse's topic in Home Health

    I agree, go with your gut. The medicare issue is a concern. First of all, since they've been in business since 2007 I would wonder why they haven't been certified, or if it's possible that they lost...

  5. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    mazy replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    The job market is tight; competition is fierce, and nurses do not have the option of walking out of a job just because it is too stressful. There is not guarantee that the next job -- if they even...

  6. Anyone else decide to not to go on to RN and stay an LPN?

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

    For as long as I can remember I have always spent my life thinking about the next step. Always trying to challenge myself, accomplish one thing and then move on to the next thing and then the next and...

  7. Can't find a job as a new grad RN, is it crazy to apply for an LPN position?

    mazy replied to Ted D's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The job market for LPNs is just as bad as for RNs. You can try but the same holds true -- you'll be competing against a lot of experienced nurses. Also, there are very few LPN jobs in hospitals;...

  8. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    mazy replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Agreed. Although I think it's not so much sex at issue here; it's women having sex. And I think the culprit is not religion so much as it is men. Unfortunately, I am seeing a trend in which powerful...

  9. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    mazy replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    People already get "free" health care. Walk into any ER and you will see people who are getting an enormously expensive level of care because they do not have access to preventative care for problems...

  10. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    mazy replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    All of these require a doctor's visit, a prescription, and money to pay for them, in addition to ongoing follow up with a provider. The fact that they exist does not mean, at the same time, that they...

    mazy replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    A bit drastic. The guy does the chores for gawd's sake. Those kinds of men are hard to come

  13. My Pity Party, Please RSVP

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

    Awww. Sorry it's been so rough. I've been in your shoes. Have you tried looking on your State or federal government employment board? Sometimes you can find odd little gems

  14. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    mazy replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if it's true that in nursing we are more needful of psych meds than in other professions. I think it is something we put a lot more thought into though. I came into nursing from a...

  15. do the really ask this on the NCLEX?

    mazy replied to psu_213's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If the med was ordered for three days, shouldn't there only be three days of med on hand? Can only think of a few meds where this wouldn't be the case....stock meds...any

  17. HELP, new nurse and I dont like it

    mazy replied to mqnurse36's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Putting aside the schedule issue for the moment. If you had stayed at your first job for six months, you would have been feeling a lot more comfortable with yourself and confident about your skills...

  18. Embarrasing illnesses

    mazy replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why oh why on earth would someone stick a bobby pin up their urethra? I know, I know, I keep asking you guys for explanations, but no explanations are really needed, I just need to voice the...

  19. Forced ultrasounds

    mazy replied to nurse2033's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm also puzzled, especially by the term "abortion survivor." That carries a connotation that a woman would be a recovering "victim" of abortion; as if to say that there was no choice at all, that the...

  20. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

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

    OP has gone from venting to shrieking. This is coming from a very emotional place, as someone pointed out, and it stopped making sense a long time ago. To the OP, you are just at the beginning of a...

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

    "it is my opinion that nursing home or ltc nurses, dont use any of their medical skills, aside from passing meds, and supervising aides? i hope when i finish nursing school in 15 months hospital jobs...

  22. Getting into nursing school with a record

    mazy replied to mdv731's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'm going to agree with this. LLg is only telling you to be very thorough in researching this, because you don't want to go through the whole education process, and spend all that money, only to find...

  23. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

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

    Well, first of all, I was a CNA before I became a nurse and I am very proud of that time in my life. I didn't have a problem being called an aide or an assistant, because that's the job I did and it...

  24. Is 'scope of practice' not taught in school?

    mazy replied to kids's topic in General Nursing

    We had our scope of practice hammered into our heads in nursing school. However, I know that when I got out into my first job in an SNF, a true snake pit, we were expected to do things that we had...

  25. Please Help...Advice.

    mazy replied to NrsLucky's topic in General Nursing

    Our RNs in SNF/LTC remove PICC lines all the time. They don't have any special certification. You do have to be certified to place them, but I've never heard of being certified to remove
