  1. Relocate while under monitoring agreement?

    Viviana replied to Sivraj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sit tight. Some of those contracts can get really expensive. I had a classmate who wound up on

  2. What might be going on?

    Viviana replied to Bagatha's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The complaints leveled by her staff led me to think of bullying. It has been my observation that some charge nurses belittle/demean the floor nurses they are supervising, and they may not even realize...

  3. What might be going on?

    Viviana replied to Bagatha's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    YES, it is. Read this article from Nurse.com. Please let me know if you need more of an evidence base:

  4. What might be going on?

    Viviana replied to Bagatha's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Are you bullying people? That's what it sounds like to me, and "rolling your eyes" is an action associated with bullying. Think about it from this perspective and see if you could have been seen as...

  5. No Respect.

    Viviana replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, I feel that the patients in wards were more satisfied. They could see that you were working, and I've even had a patient tell me "no, I'm fine, go help that guy". He was referring to a guy...

  6. No Respect.

    Viviana replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    You are not going to believe this, but I admitted a PHYSICIAN once with a suspected pseudoaneurysm at a cath site, and HE was worse! This idiot had his wife literally *spoon feeding* him. He made me...

  7. Medication Mishap

    Viviana replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Hey Amethya, You should have someone who is your direct supervisor to ask advice of before you give a second dose of medication. Don't get nervous and get pressured into giving a second dose until you...

    Viviana replied to Amethya's topic in School

    This is precisely what I came here to

  9. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    Viviana replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    Sure is. I was prepared to quit my job when they suddenly decided that we had to switch to 8 hour shifts for December and January, so I'll stay for now. As nurses gain experience and become more...

  10. Makes Me Sad...

    Viviana replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School

    My oldest daughter, who is in nursing school now, was one of these children. She caught head lice repeatedly, but her younger sister never caught it, though they slept in the same bed. It was...

  11. Medication Mishap

    Viviana replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Amethya, What is an AP? You may want to consider buying lunch cups of Applesauce, put a spoonful of applesauce in a medication cup, then open the capsule into the applesauce and administer with a...

  12. Many nurses do not chart?

    Viviana replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    You should always be sure to chart each and every time you page a doctor, as a CYA

  13. Staff Nurses Who Refuse To Precept Or Teach?

    Viviana replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    And people wonder why there is a nursing shortage... Some people are not good teachers, and they know this about themselves. You wouldn't want them teaching a new person. However, I think that people...

  14. IV site dressing

    Viviana replied to mtnmom's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Veegee, this is a very old thread, but I do hope you get this reply to your question about the best way to remove a tegaderm without causing a skin tear in elderly patients. The best way to do this...

    Viviana replied to KarriRN's topic in General Nursing

    You have to finish, or they'll give you a bad reference. It's as simple as that.

  16. What's the difference between having a phlebotomy certificate and IV certifiation?

    Viviana replied to pandahug's topic in General Nursing

    Phlebotomy certification allows you to DRAW blood, IV certification allows you to cannulate a vein, then INFUSE a large variety of intravenous medications and blood products. There is a big...

  17. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    Viviana replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    When I was in nursing school, one of our classmates was perpetually marginal. Passing was 80%, and I don't think she actually reached 80% on any nursing course in the whole program. When we got to...

  18. New Travel Nurse-Advice Please?

    Viviana posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I started working as a travel nurse about a year ago. I worked with one facility and my contract was renewed twice there, now I am on my second facility. The second facility asked me about a month...

  19. New Travel Nurse-Advice Please?

    Viviana replied to Viviana's topic in General Nursing

    DC, the recruiter is not really a concern because I'm more concerned about my license. She is not concerned about my situation, and because she's not a nurse, she has no understanding of the problems...

  24. Business Casual or Professional for Interview?

    Viviana replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    I've arranged interviews for hundreds of nurses as a nurse recruiter. Most nurses wear business casual to interviews. No sandals, shorts, jeans or T-shirts. Wear a nice pair of dress slacks and a...
