  1. silly mistake at work

    buttercup99 replied to socalnursetob01's topic in General Nursing

    You know how rooms are cleaned between a MRSA pt and the next pt taking the room? Well, you could clean or disinfect any possibly contaminated surface in the other resident's room. Ie. The doorknob...

  2. How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

    buttercup99 replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Give the OP a break. The supervisor obviously put him under a lot of pressure, which is totally different from student-student pressure. OP sounds like he wants out so there is no need to berate him...

  3. I need your help!

    buttercup99 replied to OGibbs04's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am only up to the 2nd page but questions 4, 5 and 6 are worded poorly for a research survey. They are all leading questions and designed to back-up your initial hypothesis that there need to be...

  4. Can someone clarify is I passed or fail nclex, tnx

    buttercup99 replied to arvi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You have it the wrong way around. You're the one who isn't understanding, not the other posters. It is the same all over the world in the following ways: 1) if the board says you passed, you passed...

    buttercup99 replied to K1023's topic in Psychiatric

    Be sure to review the thread on "Jacob Rockstar the psych RN" for handy tips on how to be on top of your game! Another thing you could review is your state's mental health legislation especially re...

  6. Nursing in Nursing Home ?

    buttercup99 replied to KyAnRN's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I would like to know the same thing. I've worked psycho-geriatric (hospital) so I understand the nursing role and am used to doing the medication rounds multiple times a day for the entire unit. The...

  7. I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    buttercup99 replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I really feel for you but it was a BIG mistake to accuse the CI of being passive-aggressive. She has the power and regardless of if that is wrong or right, you need to stay on her good side. I don't...

  8. Non nursing duties

    buttercup99 replied to babynurse73's topic in Psychiatric

    That's all part of my job description but then I'm in Australia, not the US. Look at your job description and see what it says. Whether you can get anything done about it is another story and depends...

  9. Ideas for groups run by RNs?

    buttercup99 replied to greenbeanio's topic in Psychiatric

    This site has some good resources. Also check the 'workbooks' section for self help modules that can be used as a base, in conjunction with sessions. These are all designed to be used without needing...

  10. Thanks for the support and opposition

    buttercup99 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    I humbly request that people please stop eating "the young"™. Their posts amuse me too much. (They do sadden me but also amuse me.) I have been in their shoes and am more than happy to offer...

  11. Thanks for the support and opposition

    buttercup99 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you to those who actually have a heart, like nurses are supposed to. I know I asked if you think my situation is fair but I didn't ask for your opinions. If you want to be mean, go to someone...

  12. Best Advice for New Nurses on their First Job?

    buttercup99 replied to Ankh's topic in General Nursing

    A few things: -Ask if you don't know/don't understand but pick your questions. If you leave the things that you can just as easily look up for yourself, you have more time for questions that have...

  13. What is it with nurses showing up late!

    buttercup99 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Anywhere I've worked, the team leader sends staff home on time and stays until the floor is staffed. But 45 minutes? Really?! You would hope management would deal with this. Nobody wants to stay...

  14. I need help with understanding how do a care plan.

    buttercup99 replied to lharley132010's topic in General Students

    It sounds like you pick a medical Dx and then list examples of what kinds of nursing diagnoses you might expect to see in a patient. Eg. Congestive heart failure (med dx) might have potential for...

  15. Clinical educator has made me depressed.

    buttercup99 replied to Lina1's topic in General Students

    Just a note: your clinical educator has not made you depressed. Nobody can make you feel a certain way and it is unfair to place the responsibility for your feelings on an external party. I...

  16. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    buttercup99 replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    This is not the same thing as "Students who get As are bad bedside nurses." All it means is it takes a lot more than good grades. Take anatomy and physiology as an example, if you understand the WHYS...

  17. need advice please

    buttercup99 replied to missmprince's topic in General Students

    I doubt they'll expect you to know what you're doing straight away. It will most likely be similar to your work as a CNA. Only you know whether to quit the CNA job. It would probably be better if you...

  18. Pixus waste never witnessed

    buttercup99 replied to bella14k's topic in General Nursing

    If you sign your name to a narcotic, you better watch it be given and signed for with your own eyes. Likewise, if you waste a narcotic, get it witnessed and signed for as it happens or by the end of...

  19. Pixus waste never witnessed

    buttercup99 replied to bella14k's topic in General Nursing

  21. Stalking - dropping off resume to nurse recruite/HR without appointment

    buttercup99 replied to nonnocere1988's topic in Nursing Career

    You want to put yourself in their shoes and think what they would think. It could well be they will think you are ignorant of the day to day work life of the nurse recruiter. (I don't know.) If it's...

  22. Interview Advice!!

    buttercup99 replied to alaber's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  25. Are grad nursing programs mandatory?

    buttercup99 replied to zoeb's topic in International Nursing

    No, in Australia it is not required to do a graduate year. There aren't enough places for everyone anyway. I have just graduated in South Australia and I have scoped it out. I have an agency lined...
