  1. Death....by cheese

    Neveranurseagain replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, pers, munster is the worst! Hence it's name! And please, ShayRN, be my hospice nurse who would be so kind to administer "that morphine, that ativan" as it should be if I am terminal. Some families...

  2. Being the only camp nurse

    Neveranurseagain replied to LittleWing21's topic in Camp

    Be sure and eyeball the next week camper health forms ahead of time so you know who is coming that is DM, etc. Get a list of campers and be sure you have a health form on every child. Ask if the...

  3. Being the only camp nurse

    Neveranurseagain replied to LittleWing21's topic in Camp

    At the camps I work at we wear anything that is comfortable. At some camps, people have "camp names". I have been Nurse Ratchet for years. The kids don't know the reason behind my name, but the...

  4. BSN RN & Certifications not allowed on my badge: I am outraged!

    Neveranurseagain replied to Simba2241's topic in General Nursing

    A yam is a yam is a yam when caring for patients! It's good to be proud of your accomplishments, but the bigger you inflate yourself the harder you

  6. Terminated because of my Attention Deficit Disorder

    Neveranurseagain replied to LPN&momof3's topic in General Nursing

    I am too, morte! I have a hard time believing she was "the only one" who stayed late to chart and finish

  7. CAN I GET FIRED???

    Neveranurseagain replied to Poopsie Gigglebuns's topic in General Nursing

    Is your doc 100% sure that it is not a workman comp? Being a nurse involves years of lifting, moving pts, bending and squatting that can slowly build up to an injury, even though you can can't trace...

  8. Terminated because of my Attention Deficit Disorder

    Neveranurseagain replied to LPN&momof3's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, Veln that therapy works, but for true, full blown ADHD it sometimes doesn't. This is were therapy and meds work best. I also do not feel it is ethical to give ADHD med without therapy. But...

  9. Terminated because of my Attention Deficit Disorder

    Neveranurseagain replied to LPN&momof3's topic in General Nursing

    How many hours have you spent in a classroom observing ADHD children before medication then after? I'm not proposing every child needs to be medicated--some are just behavior problems but believe me,...

  10. Being the only camp nurse

    Neveranurseagain replied to LittleWing21's topic in Camp

    You probably won't get any time off during that session. One problem with being the only nurse is that if a child is vomiting all night or up with a fever, you still have to work the next day. I...

  11. Private Caregiving as an RN

    Neveranurseagain replied to rlanz's topic in General Nursing

    I occasionally do private duty nursing. I don't bill anyone but the client for my services and pay my fair share of taxes. I make sure there is a current list of meds as prescribed by the MD at the...

  12. RRT or LPN need advice to decide

    Neveranurseagain replied to Melissa1226's topic in General Nursing

    I agree lindarn. Where I live (rural area) there are jobs for LPN's and RN's. There isn't even a RT at our small hospital, and no sleep labs or other employment for a RT in a 60 mile radius. If...

    I hope you won the lottery to depend on an attorney for

  14. RRT or LPN need advice to decide

    Neveranurseagain replied to Melissa1226's topic in General Nursing

    An LPN would give you a lot more job options. You could work in a clinic, a SNF, a hospital, home health, camp nurse, or MD office--the possibilities are almost endless. You could eventually go back...

  15. SNOTTY MA claiming to be a nurse!!!!

    Neveranurseagain replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for a Pediatrician for 13 years. Started as an LPN then went back to school and got my RN when I was working there. I was the only LPN in my town of 40,000, everyone else was a MA. Only a...

  16. SNOTTY MA claiming to be a nurse!!!!

    Neveranurseagain replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    The majority of them don't even go to school--they are trained on the job with little or no formal

  17. For those of use New Grads not getting jobs, what do you suggest?

    Neveranurseagain replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, moving to an area still experiencing a nursing shortage is about all you can do. Relocating for a year or two may be the only way to work as a RN. I feel for all of you that have...

  21. Terminated because of my Attention Deficit Disorder

    Neveranurseagain replied to LPN&momof3's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you are having to deal with this situation.You might want to ask the DON if they are reporting you to the BON. This reminds me of another nurse on allnurses who was terminated because of...

  22. dumbest things you have done as a new nurse

    Neveranurseagain replied to nminodob's topic in General Nursing

    Many,many moons ago as a new LVN (OK! FIRST DAY!) I had a pt that needed whirlpool baths to right foot with dilute Betadine solution. She had a portable whirlpool in her room so I measured the H2O,...

  23. Transferring ob patients

    Neveranurseagain replied to crazyinalabama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If it was less than a 20 min transport--they would turn it off and have a RN meet us at the ER to turn it back

  24. Transferring ob patients

    Neveranurseagain replied to crazyinalabama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a medic, I would tell the hospital either send a RN with me or DC the drip during the transport as I would not work outside the scope of my license. It was up to the hospital and the ambulance...

  25. Ohio Certified Medication Aide Course Outline

    Neveranurseagain replied to cmatobe's topic in General Nursing

    This is another attempt to phase out RN's and replace them with cheaper staff that does not have the training and assessment skills that are
