    Cherybaby replied to ursurla's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  2. Documentation

    Cherybaby replied to bdbrdb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I did some research on the AllNurses website and found these threads. They may be helpful for you! Also posting some info on the SOAP way of doing nursing notes. Hope these help! Good luck!...

  3. please help!!!

    Cherybaby replied to Ms.jackson12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    We can't give out legal advice on this board. The best thing she can do is call her State Board of Nursing and find out if she will be eligible. Good

  4. Germophobic considering Nursing. please help!

    Cherybaby replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    To me, it sounds like you are diagnosing which, as you know, is out of the scope of our practice. I am a germaphobe...take special precautions to keep antibacterial lotions and the like in my...

  5. What do you all think about this? (SkepticalOB blog)

    Cherybaby replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that she does make some valid points...but, sadly, she also seems like the type of person that needs affirmation that she is doing a good job. She seems to be begging for the proverbial pat...

  7. Nurses and social networking sites (Facebook, Myspace, etc)

    Cherybaby replied to running_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Crosses the line in so many ways. I don't even have my co-workers on my Facebook account because people can be vindictive...and I don't need screen shots of my weekend antics crossing my boss' desk...

  8. Nurses and reality TV?

    Cherybaby replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    No. There are a lot of things wrong with doing a reality TV show...especially one of the dating variety. Have you ever seen one of these shows? They cast you in a very poor light. They show you...

  9. Too UGLY for Nursing?

    Cherybaby replied to showbizrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Doesn't matter what others think of you, so long as you do your job and do it well. My husband thinks I am a "hot nurse". That's what

  10. really disappointed after my trip to the BON

    Cherybaby replied to picurn10's topic in General Nursing

    I would read the Nurses & Recovery forum to get a better feel of what peer review, drug testing, BON mandates, probation, punitive damages, fines, IPN evaluations, etc. are all about. There are...

  11. Please..What else can I do with an Associate Degree in Nursing

    Cherybaby replied to Schmoo1022's topic in General Nursing

    Doctor's office? Surgery center? Health Care Advocate? Triage for an Health Insurance Company? Done all of those! Always went back to beside care as soon as I gathered my marbles back up again!...

  14. k..disimpaction?

    Cherybaby replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    Every patient is different naturally, but from what you described, I would definately disimpact the patient especially if they are having trouble pushing. Enema isn't a realistic option if the bowel...

  15. Nursing School: Did you GAIN or LOSE weight?

    Cherybaby replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    Definately lost weight in nursing school. STRESS! And around clinicals, I dropped even more weight. However, after 3 years at a nursing station in LTC, I gained about 30 pounds. We have patient...

  16. Is nursing like this everywhere?

    Cherybaby replied to LEM1234's topic in General Nursing

    You're going to encounter nurses that you won't want to follow. Those are the ones that put minimal effort forward and leave things for the night shift. That's normal for the floor you work on....

  17. New Nurse Anxiety

    Cherybaby replied to mazzy6311's topic in General Nursing

    It's absolutely normal to feel nervous and anxious. Give yourselves a break. You are brand new nurses! It's going to be terribly overwhelming at first. You are in a brand new situation. Don't...

    Cherybaby replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome what you are doing for your parents, Sue. They are very fortunate to have such a loving daughter. I don't know that I would be able to do peri care on my dad...but I suppose, desperate...

  19. Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

    Cherybaby replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    Don't sweat the scrubs. It could be worse!

  20. Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

    Cherybaby replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    I love wearing all white. The other nurses give me a hard time over it, telling me I look too "nursey" But I feel more professional when I wear all white. I just make sure to wear a more fitted...

  21. Would you hire me??

    Cherybaby replied to adruiz01's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely hire you! I've been out of the workforce as an LPN for the past year. Opted to stay home, get some personal issues in order and be a full time grandmother. No one is going to...

  22. Unsafe Nurse-to-Patient Ratio

    Cherybaby replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    I think the most challenging nurse to patient ratio comes in LTC facilities. They are hugely understaffed. I have seen nurses have 40+ patients on their wing with no help. That's a good way for...

  23. I have GREAT co-workers

    Cherybaby replied to husker_rn's topic in General Nursing

    This is the best post I have read here in a LONG

  24. Long term care or clinic job?

    Cherybaby replied to shine123's topic in General Nursing

    Grab that clinic job. I had worked in a dermatologist/wound care clinic for seven years prior to going to an ALF. I could KICK myself for that. Working every other weekend is the worst. I worked...

  25. How do you deal with an insensitive CNA?

    Cherybaby replied to arelle68's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Seriously?:uhoh21: I don't know. I think your tune would change if it were YOUR loved one who was on the receiving end of the abuse. Just my
