  1. Can an NP work as an RN?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Rev Elvis's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You are right- you can't put in orders on your pt. But in terms of assessment and other areas you are held to the standards of the highest license you have. So if you are working as an EMT and also...

  2. Nurses & Emergency Scenes

    Neveranurseagain replied to rnffemtguy's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but any other color than red is for wuzzies.... Real Men and Women Firefiighters Drive Red

  3. Is this odd to you too?

    Neveranurseagain replied to mom4josh's topic in General Nursing

    My husband died 4 years ago and was cremated. His ashes sit on top of a bookcase in my bedroom and when I die, I have requested that our ashes be mixed together and scattered at our favorite spot...

  4. Pay in Bakersfield?

    Neveranurseagain replied to SmilesHeal101's topic in California Nursing

    You need to realize that the housing market is MUCH cheaper than the Bay area. Right now housing in Bakersfield are fairly inexpensive at around the $180,000 to $200,000 market due to all the...

  5. nurses under the care of a psychiatrist

    Neveranurseagain replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with Whispera! Try and find a LCSW (licensed counselor social worker) for some counseling. You are much, much less likely to end up on meds as they don't prescribe whereas psychiatrists RX meds...

  6. Managers asking me to forgo sleep for meetings!

    Neveranurseagain replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Just ask her to rotate the meeting times around so it is fair to everyone. One month it could be 7:30 am, the next one 3:30 pm then the next one 11:30 pm. I think she'll get the

  7. stay at home or work? Please offer advice

    Neveranurseagain replied to alexis79's topic in General Nursing

    One of the problem I see is that you are a new nurse and by staying home completely you are going to lose skills and knowledge. It would be difficult to re enter nursing several yrs down the road as...

  8. Nurses & Emergency Scenes

    Neveranurseagain replied to rnffemtguy's topic in General Nursing

    I swear that accidents happen all the time in front of me...not little fender benders but Level 1's. But I always stop and render aid til the Fire Dept or Ambulance gets there and sets up then I tell...

  9. two important questions

    Neveranurseagain replied to shouldacoulda's topic in General Nursing

    You need an Xray Tech license to do xrays. I've seen people with Limited Xray License that could do simple ones like extremities but still needed formal training. In some states you can apply for an...

  10. Reamed for ordering an ethics consult

    Neveranurseagain replied to WalkieTalkie's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for being such an advocate for your patients. America views death as failure and not the natural process it is. The medical community, as well as the general population, needs to be re...

  11. CNA/Med Aide Question

    Neveranurseagain replied to MichaelLooney's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty simple! Call the CNA board in Montana and ask

  12. Is Health Care Rationing Needed in the USA?

    Neveranurseagain posted a topic in General Nursing

    All right, now I know that this is going to touch on a few peoples "sensitive areas" but I wondered what other nurses thought. It seems to me that only in America is it considered a failure when you...

  13. My daughter's experience today in a Phoenix Emergency Room

    Neveranurseagain replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    One thing I would like to add...even though she was in the ER for whatever reason, emergency or not, she should still have been treated with compassion and care, not with a flipping

  14. My daughter's experience today in a Phoenix Emergency Room

    Neveranurseagain replied to PeaceonearthRN's topic in Emergency

    Emergency rooms are for EMERGENCIES!!!! Knee pain for an injury that happened 2 mths ago is not an emergency, esp. if she able to ambulate. As far as her PCP not being able to see her til she has a...

  15. Is Health Care Rationing Needed in the USA?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, people are denied health services everyday in this country. Hospitals want their money up front on "elective" stuff such as chemotherapy if you don't have health insurance. A friend of mine...

  16. Is Health Care Rationing Needed in the USA?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

    The problem I see with allowing the family to pay for treatment is that it further creates a division between the haves vs the have nots. The have nots will feel not enough is done to "help" their...

  17. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Neveranurseagain replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    So do patients need to go get other patients to see if they can understand what their nurse is saying then relay it back to them? Patients have a right to understand what is being taught or said to...

  18. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Neveranurseagain replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    We had another Chinese MD that would say "AH SAY! AH SAY!" whenever he wanted to look in their throat. When the pt. would look at him puzzled, I'd follow up by saying, "SAY AH, SAY AH!" But he was...

  19. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Neveranurseagain replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in an ER with an MD that had a "thick accent" and was difficult to understand. We had a patient that was being admitted for new onset seizures and he suddenly began to seize. The MD started...

  20. Non Direct Patient Care

    Neveranurseagain replied to pnurseuwm's topic in General Nursing

    This is why nursing schools should require you to be a CNA/EMT/PCT for a year as a prerequisite... It's time to get out of bedside

  21. cigarette breaks

    Neveranurseagain replied to NrsheartTS's topic in General Nursing

    Encourage her to smoke more--it's job security for nurses! If people didn't smoke, we wouldn't have as much lung cancer and COPD, and we'd all be out of a

  22. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Neveranurseagain replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that accents can be a problem...In nursing school the "higher ups" decided EVERY nursing administrator had to also teach a class. We ended up taking pharmacology from an RN with a heavy...

  23. Does anyone go to school with their client?

    Neveranurseagain replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    I worked at a school district for a child that had a trach, was ambulatory but pushed an O2 bottle around (faster than I could walk!). He was very small so I was part body guard too. I followed him...

  24. Is cleanliness cultural?

    Neveranurseagain replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, showering and cleanliness is a cultural thing! I worked with a group of Danish athletes and you could smell them before you could see them! They did not shower everyday like Americans...I...

  25. New Nurse In TEARS...

    Neveranurseagain replied to NightNurse0711's topic in General Nursing

    This MD needs to be written up. Talk to your supervisor on the policy/procedure to do this. His behavior was completely unacceptable and he needs to be aware that it will not be tolerated. For a pt....
