  1. Protecting my license..

    NurseyTee replied to piglets2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Why in the world would anyone put a Med tech in charge of the nurses? As 911fltrn pointed out... that person is not qualified to oversee RN's. You know what is right. I would call my BON and have...

  2. So frustrated...co-worker stealing drugs.

    NurseyTee replied to ND76's topic in General Nursing

    I would submit to a d/t anytime. What I have done to try to protect myself is this.. I refuse to work with her, period. I won't even work on the same floor as her. I'm not going to get tangled in...

  3. So frustrated...co-worker stealing drugs.

    NurseyTee replied to ND76's topic in General Nursing

    Very good question-- the answer is this: from what I can see from the dates is that as soon as she knew she was in trouble in the original state of issuance, she ran over the boarder and applied for a...

  4. So frustrated...co-worker stealing drugs.

    NurseyTee replied to ND76's topic in General Nursing

  5. Nursing school with a GED.

    NurseyTee replied to desireef's topic in General Nursing

    Don't let anyone hold you back from your goals. Some schools might want you to sit for an entrance exam, but that's a piece of cake and even HS grads have to take it. Some schools might also want...

  8. Anyone not feel freaked after nclex?

    NurseyTee replied to KristiePDX's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know it's not exactly the same thing as NCLEX-RN, but when I finished nursing school (LPN) I didn't know I was pregnant yet but soon found out after pinning and found myself very ill for months. I...

  9. "Take down" in LTC?????

    NurseyTee posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I reported a situation to the Unit Manager that another nurse did what she referred to as a "take down" on a LTC resident. I am new to LTC and had no clue what she was talking about when she told me...

  10. "Take down" in LTC?????

    NurseyTee replied to NurseyTee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I can't tell you what it means to me to hear you say that. I have felt so unappreciated at my facility as of late since this episode. Thank you so much!!!

  11. Nurse Mobbing/bullying

    NurseyTee replied to LuciGirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh!! I get it now! I grew up with only brothers in a neighborhood with only boys. So I played with all boys my whole life as a child and only grew up with boys. I am a total girl, inside and out,...

    NurseyTee replied to cnmmsn's topic in Ob/Gyn

  14. College Network students?????

    NurseyTee replied to ashemson's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you study independently how do you set up to go take the test? If I buy the study guide on ebay, (which I've seen them available there ) what do I do next? and who figures out if I have what I...

    NurseyTee replied to LuciGirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I worked last week, we had a re-admission come in via transport ambulance. The am. guys brought the res. into her room and helped me get her into bed, we covered her with the bed sheet and the...

  16. LTC Orientation

    NurseyTee replied to jat_phil's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I had never worked in LTC before and when I started I was shown where my cart was and sent on my way. I didn't have orientation if you ask me. Now they are expecting me to do things I've never been...

  17. Big bad nurse bully

    NurseyTee replied to Canadian Princess's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm being bullied at work and it is literally making me ill. I've never called in sick before since I have worked at this facility, but since the bullying has gotten so bad (with the support of the...

  18. Nurse Mobbing/bullying

    NurseyTee replied to LuciGirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh my goodness! This thread was just what I needed today after working all night being "bullied and mobbed". Here is what happened to me this week. We've been hiring lots of new nurses and as usual we...

  20. "Take down" in LTC?????

    NurseyTee replied to NurseyTee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Now this is what should happen to people who abuse the helpless. No questions asked, just GONE-- never to be a nurse

  21. Sex offenders in LTC

    NurseyTee replied to Renashia's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have a question about this... I work w/ a nurse that is suspended in another state. I'm not sure anyone knows it or not. Is it okay to be working in one state if your license has been suspended in...

  22. "Take down" in LTC?????

    NurseyTee replied to NurseyTee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We do have a behavior care plan on residents who have the potential for being combative. On this care plan I saw no notations as to what happened, but we have computer charting and I don't know what...

  23. What happened to Nurses Week?

    NurseyTee replied to happyfeet's topic in General Nursing

    Our DON really went out of her way to show her appreciation for our hard work. She planned a cook out, and we had a lunch catered for us--too bad night shifters couldn't be there due to working all...

  24. "Take down" in LTC?????

    NurseyTee replied to NurseyTee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Of course, there is nothing wrong with an LPN being an ADON. But at our facility they only hire RN's for administrative duties. Of course I have no objection to an LPN in this position. I'm an LPN...

  25. "Take down" in LTC?????

    NurseyTee replied to NurseyTee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not sure what the administration is going to do. I know they've been told that if she does come back they will lose several nurses and several fantastic CNAs. And as I'm sure you know, good CNAs...
