  1. Made a mistake!

    Neveranurseagain replied to what2donow's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You may have made a "stupid" mistake, but it was just that--a mistake. There was not any malice or intent to harm, or even neglect involved. You are human and as humans, we all make mistakes. Forgive...

  2. Dialysis, HIV and terminal Pts. Abuse?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Scarlette Wings's topic in General Nursing

    Cases like this are another example that Americans need to change their "death is considered a failure" attitude. The decision to resuscitate or not, including measures to prolong life, need to be...

  3. Replacing School Nurses with Health Techs

    Neveranurseagain replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in School

    I have to agree with this. I think teacher techs would work great for teaching students--as someone pointed out do you really need someone with a masters degree to teach first graders? Especially if...

  4. bullying at work

    Neveranurseagain replied to madfowl's topic in General Nursing

    Time to find a new job! You are at risk for being set up for something bigger, and possibly putting your license in danger. Are you really sure you want to win this battle? Also look up hostile work...

  5. LVN's how much you make in 2010?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Sophiamez's topic in California Nursing

    Arizona is where I work, a right to work state. I haven't made this little since I was a CNA in the 70's! But I do have fully paid health insurance, something I haven't had in a year. But at least...

  6. Litigious Areas of Nursing and the Nurse's Liability

    Neveranurseagain replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    As an RN that "won" a medical malpractice settlement after the death of my husband, (if you want to call it winning after your your husband/best friend dies), I can't agree more on how far a kind...

  7. looking back, are there courses that you thought were not necessary?

    Neveranurseagain replied to nowIamRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm probably going to get flamed, but I thought my paramedic training did a great job of providing just what you needed to know, with lots of hands on, spectacular, high paced clinicals with lots of...

  8. Best RN jobs to have more time for children/family

    Neveranurseagain replied to babblingbrook's topic in Nursing Career

    Look at school nursing. It's the same school schedule as your kids, with the same days off. You can also work camps in the summer for extra $$$$, and take your kids with you. Home health maybe another...

  9. Replacing School Nurses with Health Techs

    Neveranurseagain replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in School

    But at least as an RN student, you had 2 years of classes/education to teach you these skills. And you do pull knowledge from your clinical training too. A trained health care tech gets their training...

  10. looking back, are there courses that you thought were not necessary?

    Neveranurseagain replied to nowIamRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never took chemistry, but didn't feel like it hurt me or made me not a "good" nurse. But what I could have used were a few classes on how to deal with coworkers and admin, a business management...

  11. Medications that make you helpless and psychotic for nursing students

    Neveranurseagain replied to Elsarap's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need a drug to do this. Nursing school can make you feel psychotic and helpless enough without

  12. Pumping at Work???

    Neveranurseagain replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I was working as a paramedic doing 24 hr shifts and breastfeeding my son. I went back to work when he was 12 weeks old, and even pumped in the back of the ambulance a few times when we went on an...

  13. no cell phones no personal phone calls at work

    Neveranurseagain replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I do remember the days when you had to ask your supervisor to use the facility phone. Cell phone usage at work is a not a right! Sign me up for banning cell phones at

  14. Blaming the nurse

    Neveranurseagain replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Stuff rolls downhill, and unfortunately we are at the bottom of the

  15. no cell phones no personal phone calls at work

    Neveranurseagain replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    What did people do before cell phones? If there was an emergency, really an emergency, your family called the facility where you worked and you talked briefly on the phone. Family emergencies don't...

  16. Replacing School Nurses with Health Techs

    Neveranurseagain replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in School

    I somewhat agree with you that you can task train someone to manage diabetes, but when you also train that person to administer meds, do tube feeding, treat asthma, assess/splint fractures and...

  17. area of nursing in your experience that allows most autonomy?

    Neveranurseagain replied to RN2be2012's topic in General Nursing

    I think school nursing is fairly autonomous. I work by myself in a school of about 500 students and staff, and handle minor medical emergencies as well as life threatening peanut/bee sting anaphalxis,...

  18. I only want to be a PP or L&D nurse.....

    Neveranurseagain replied to mks1014's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like you have midwifery in your bloodstream, LOL! I don't know what state you are in, but have you thought about becoming a Licensed Midwife or Certified Professionally Midwife? You can have...

  19. LVN's how much you make in 2010?

    Neveranurseagain replied to Sophiamez's topic in California Nursing

    I'm impressed by by your wages as an LVN/LPN too! I'm an RN that works for a school district for 6 1/2 hrs a day and make $22,000 a year salaried. Granted, I get 2 1/2 months off for summer, 2 weeks...

  20. I was a bad girl.

  22. what is your best advice for a brand new school nurse?

    Neveranurseagain replied to hammergirl5's topic in School

    And make friends with the custodians and maintenance people too! If ya got a kid who has puked everywhere, they are the ones you call for a clean up. I keep mine happy, happy,

  23. Heated debate between Civilian ED RN and FMF Hospital Corpsman.

    Neveranurseagain replied to testing109's topic in Emergency

    People who have no experience with the military just don't get it. She never will, unless she is indocturnated into military ways. Please pardon her--her ignorance is showing. Thank you for serving...

  24. How does the dog handle your 12 hour shifts?

    Neveranurseagain replied to SnowStar4's topic in General Nursing

    Asking a dog to hold its urine for 13 hours sets them up for urinary tract problems. Can you install a dog door leading out to the

  25. new job and pregnant?!?!

    Neveranurseagain replied to rntobe10's topic in General Nursing

    I'd wait at least 6 months. Getting pregnant, starting at a new job and a new career is going to be very stressful. Plus, if you have computations and need to take off the last few months of your...
