  1. Just disgusted

    everthesame replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am sorry you are going through this. :icon_hug: I was once part of the subject of a state investigation. The patient who complained was a total loony tune with unrealistic "fantasies" about what...

  2. hippa violation with teen mother

    everthesame replied to love for nursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In my state, we need the consent of the parents of a pregnant minor to treat the minor. Once the baby is born, the minor can give consent for her baby's treatment, but the teen's parents still have...

  3. Fired within hours of being hired

    everthesame replied to NurseNature's topic in General Nursing

    I have had that problem once before. I drank 5 glasses of water and waited over an hour before I could "go." I was so relieved when I found out my newest employer's drug test consisted of putting a...

  4. Is this possible?

    everthesame replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    From what I have read you do not inhale enough from second hand smoke to pop positive on a drug test. I forget where I read that but I will post a link if I can find the

  5. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    everthesame replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Why can't my co-workers be more like you? To the OP, I would have no problem saying I have had a couple of glasses of wine and feel if I came in right now I would be working impaired. However, in a...

  6. Considering corrections nursing position

    everthesame posted a topic in Correctional

    I recently had a very positive and encouraging interview for a position in a female juvenile corrections facility. I have to call the manager back Monday and I am pretty sure I will accept the...

  7. Considering corrections nursing position

    everthesame replied to everthesame's topic in Correctional

    Well, I took the position and started this week. Juvenile girls have got to be the worst for being whiny and manipulative. Everyone else I work with who has worked corrections in other areas say the...

  8. No more internet access

    everthesame replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    If the hospital has the capability to track who is using a computer and visiting various websites then perhaps someone in IT could print off a week long log of internet usage for the manager to...

  9. They sent us a 1 week postpartum pt...we do openhearts!

    everthesame replied to MIRockstarRN's topic in General Nursing

    At various hospitals I have seen these patients re-admitted to L&D, admitted to ICU, admitted to high risk OB or transferred to another facility with a high risk unit. Your nursing supervisor...

  10. Noticing a trend here

    everthesame replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    1) No idea but I would guess you are right. It really is beyond me as to why someone knowingly goes into a thread usually clearly labeled "VENT" to tell the OP and their sympathizers how horrible...

  11. When nurses visit loved ones who are hospitalized...

    everthesame replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    It really does matter on who the nurse/visitor is. Many nurse/visitors are great and can really enhance their loved ones stay in the hospital. A few nurse/visitors can be a real PITA. A few weeks...

  12. Eclipsys

    everthesame replied to Lightheavy198's topic in General Nursing

    I used Eclipsys/SCM at a previous job. Once I got used to it, my main complaint was having to enter your password for every page instead of just entering it at the end of the assessment. Also, there...

  13. New to home health, next to nothing for orientation...vent

    everthesame replied to everthesame's topic in Home Health

    This is an outlying branch of a very well established home health agency. I think that the supervisor either should give me a lighter load for a few weeks or I should have been given at least a...

  14. pt. suspected drug user

    everthesame replied to mslema's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The ads at the bottom of the screen are auto-generated based on keywords detected in the text of the original post and the replies. I too have an ad about beating a drug test a the bottom of my...

  15. jitters

    everthesame replied to nrsGrad08's topic in General Nursing

    Do you drink caffeine? Take certain meds? Caffeine and Sudafed give me the jitters real bad. I have had to nearly cut all caffeine from my diet. I will only have it on my days off. It

  16. help!

    everthesame replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the facility. Where I work, we have to have a physician's order for a non-diabetic patient. If the patient is diabetic, we are allowed a prn check of the patient's blood sugar. You...

  17. Kidney Stones!!!!!

    everthesame replied to rgroyer1RNBSN's topic in Emergency

    I get kidney stones pretty frequently too. Toradol is my best friend. I really feel for you and I hope you are feeling better

  18. I want to tell the story, Is it a HIPPA violation?

    everthesame replied to TigerGalLE's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am dying to find out too. When in doubt, fudge a few of the details such as sex, age, how long ago you cared for the patient, etc...Nothing that would change the point of the story or affect the...

  19. Do You Find MDs Often Miss MRSA Diagnosis?

    everthesame replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think a physician can or should diagnose MRSA by appearance alone. IMO, the PCP should have cultured one or two of the lesions and alerted the facility where the patient lives of the...

  20. I may not get hired because of DRUG test,

    everthesame replied to deboopy's topic in General Nursing

    When you go for the drug screen you will be asked about any meds you are taking. be sure to list it on the form. Bring the pharmacy bottle with you too. Sometimes they ask to see it. I take a prn...

  21. Biased Care...

    everthesame replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Nursing

    I worked on a floor that had quite a few abdominoplasty patients. I never knew of any nurse who treated these patients any different from our other surgery patients. I do think that a lot of the...

  22. Area of hospital - least patient lifting & moving?

    everthesame replied to ExCorporateRN's topic in General Nursing

    In labor and delivery you often have to help a patient to the bathroom after delivery. These women may still be getting over the effects of an epidural or they are getting up for the first time in...

  23. New nurse very depressed--night shift?

    everthesame replied to cousx2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going through the same thing. The only difference is that I have been working nights for a couple of years now this time around. I have worked nights of and on throughout my career and I used to...

  24. Working in an OB/GYN office

    everthesame posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have an interview this week for a job in an ob/gyn office. I just wanted to know beforehand what sort of responsibilities an RN has in the office setting. I currently work on a med surg unit but...

  25. How long did you take off work post cholesystectomy

    everthesame replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I was off for 3 weeks. That first shift back was a killer though. Pain-wise it was okay once I changed out of my elastic waisted scrub pants and into drawstring scrubs. My main problem for the...
