  1. Got my antibody test results

    bossfrog posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    Back in mid-December to mid-January I had what I thought was a strange cold. I had a cough that was productive with an expectorant but only minimal nasal drainage or congestion. It would get better...

  2. COVID-19 Are the droplets somewhat airborne? Conflicting reports

    bossfrog replied to Pete W.'s topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wouldn't listen to Mayor Bill. He's the genius who was telling everyone to go to concerts and theaters and parades and festivals on March

  3. Critical question, please advise ASAP

    bossfrog posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I am giving my resignation to my current employer this evening which is to be effective immediately. I cannot give them 2 weeks notice due to concerns about protecting my license. I work in...

  4. Critical question, please advise ASAP

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not worried about ever reapplying there and I'm frankly not worried about what she might say about me. My work history prior to her is rock solid. The bottom line is that I feel my license is in...

  5. Am I wrong? Is this legal?

    bossfrog posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been a psych nurse for 6 years and did some traveling for a while. At my current job in Indiana (which is a permanent job, not travel), they have a practice that I'm not comfortable with and I...

  6. Am I wrong? Is this legal?

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. You're right. I mean, yes, the doc's name always goes on the order form in the morning, but that's NOT the way it's to be done. Just to clarify, in case it hasn't been to this point, I...

  7. Am I wrong? Is this legal?

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Elkpark: Your first paragraph above is exactly right. When patients come overnight, the admission orders (PRNs, vitals, labs, home meds, etc.) aren't gotten until morning. That itself isn't...

  8. Am I wrong? Is this legal?

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Davey. But what are those appropriate outside agencies? And the write-up really just pissed me off more than anything. My DON said if I'm not comfortable bringing in a pt without talking to...

  9. Dangers of teaching kids they can be boys or girls

    bossfrog replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you, too, should step away from your high horse and get some perspective. Quit pretending you know everything. A great number of teens - particularly younger teens, get on the transgender...

  10. Being asked to false document

    bossfrog posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I work on a psych unit. So I come into work tonight and we have a new "read and sign" instructing us to always put "yes" when our assessment form asks if the patient is interested in smoking...

  11. Being asked to false document

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Essentially what this is is management pressing us to fudge the data for them to help the unit meet Core Measures metrics on smoking cessation and I've decided along with a couple others not to do it....

  12. Charting Bloopers

    bossfrog replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm a psych nurse. Last night when attempting to do a reassessment on a borderline patient, she flipped me off and walked away. So I charted the following: "When this RN attempted to initiate a...

  13. How many 2010 grads still looking?

    bossfrog posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering how many are in the exact same conundrum I currently am. I graduated an RN in May 2010 and got my license in July 2010. I still haven't been able to get a hospital job in my area (by...

  14. How many 2010 grads still looking?

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. That's pretty much where I'm at. Except you have a few more months of experience on me. You should be able to claim a year's experience in peds and qualify for about any peds job soon

  15. How many 2010 grads still looking?

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, we're definitely going back to WI anyway when we get our tax return. (Unless somewhere around here hires me in the next 3 months or so.) We lived in Green Bay for 8 years and we've been away...

  16. How many 2010 grads still looking?

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, my supervisor told me the same things. When the mom removed me from her case, my supervisor said I did nothing wrong and said, "Welcome to home health care." I explained to the mom that it is...

  17. How many 2010 grads still looking?

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    You misunderstood me. I never said I wouldn't take an LTC job. Only that it would not be in my long-term plans. I'll do what I have to, but if I get an LTC job, I'm still going to jump ship to the...

  18. How many 2010 grads still looking?

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I do have one very small ace in the hole that gives me some more longevity than the 6 months. I have a B.A. in Behavioral Science (essentially a psychology degree that doesn't qualify for...

  19. How many 2010 grads still looking?

    bossfrog replied to bossfrog's topic in General Nursing

    Beast Master RN: I know some think hospital work is overrated, but I need to get hospital experience. I won't be working LTC on a long-term basis. My goal is to work in pediatrics, ER or OR,...

  20. What is it like to be a nurse in a prison?

    bossfrog replied to MMurse's topic in Correctional

    I would say much of it depends on the prison. I suspect the experience would be much different in a supermax prison than a minimum security

  21. Not studying for NCLEX?

    bossfrog replied to Sl1011's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I barely studied. I pretty much just crammed my lab values and took about 2 hours to quickly skim over the Evolve/Reach book. I passed with 75 questions. Just to let you know, no matter how well...

  22. Would you ever own a motorcycle? YES or NO?

    bossfrog replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    I have a bike. I only ride it on the open highway, country roads or around town. (I live in a town of 3800 people). If I have to drive anywhere I could run into heavy stop and go traffic, the bike...

  23. Would you ever own a motorcycle? YES or NO?

    bossfrog replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    People get just as messed up driving cars

  24. Student with MSBP

    bossfrog posted a topic in General Students

    Okay, I'm in my 3rd semester of the RN program in my school and I'm very concerned about a certain other student (whom I know previously) who is also in the program this year. To put it simply, she...

  25. Best way to ask out a patient

    bossfrog posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I know many are about to jump on here and say, "NO!!!! DON'T DO IT!!!!" but first, hear me out. First, let me be clear that I have NOT acted unprofessionally in any way in this situation. Now,...
