Yeah what she said!!!

I would think the hospital would want to upgrade you to a nurse job once you're licensed. Working for aide pay, when legally you would be held to an RN standard of care is not wise for you, (although I/m sure some hospiatal bean counter would think ...

:down:I myself find the OP's original post rude and offensive.

Now I have to say my last job we were told not to write any other nurse's name in the notes, only to refer to them vaguely as in "Reported such and so episode of pt (change in cond, pt c/o, whatever), as it would implicate those individuals in case o...

I know that two of my kids went to ER on seperate occasions, and once meningitis was suspected, an LP was done within the hour.......

I didn't even start college til I was 22. And had a 58 year old woman in my class. You don't think so now, but believe me, you are dreadfully young. do what you like and to the devil with the nay-sayers!!!!

If you have someone that loses an baby, for god's sake, don't act like the baby never existed, or make the parents feel like they can't bring the baby up. While she loves Hubby #2, she says that's what broke up her marriage to Hubby #1 --- nobody gav...

I work for an insurance co in UR. It's great. There are two sets of standards, Milliman and Interqual. You measure the patient's stay by these standards, and make sure both the provider and the insurance co can agree on length of stay and/or procedur...

That happened to me two years in a row. First time I pitched a fit and they 'found' a place for me to work. The second time I made the CN write me down for 4 hours pay and went home and enjoyed the quiet while hubby was at his mother's. We had pla...

When I worked at the hospital, I was tickeld to get cancelled!!! My DH would gripe, but I think the most I ever got cancelled in a year's time was 10 days. Yes it was some money lost, but was sorely needed off time!!!!!!!

Opinions are like anuses - everybody's got one. No one was loved more than my grandmother. There were four of us ready to take her home with us. Every time we brought it up she'd get so upset she'd have to take Xanaxes. Finally the nurses at the ...

Well, sugar, I am gonna get my butt sued off if I can't call people 'sugar, honey, sweetie.'

My personal opinion is that the female witnesses the GYN exam for the protection of both the doctor and the patient. Two males does not meet the requirement and could make the patient feel extremely uncomfortable. There have been through the years,...

These days, and this is just my humble opinion, companies value degrees. The higher the degree, the better. Even if you didn't know your own name, that string of letters behind your name would open a lot of doors. Since you are going to know quite a...

I have a 1996 Dodge Stratus. I get 500+ miles per tank of gas, which about covers what a weekly commute would be. How that factors out as mpg I don't know. I know I bought it in 2004 and it only had 44K miles on it. I've put 110,000 miles on it s...

If it were me, I would send the letter now and let them know you aren't coming back. They are probably wondering if you really are coming back if its been a long time. But thats my .

Oh, no we didn't mind it was a non-narc, that wasn't the point. Just pointing out that the second ER did all they thought they could do and did it quickly and non-judgementally, and that the new meds were given as a follow up. I always tell the ER ...

All I have to say is This: I believe her. There are hospitals that bad. I live two blocks from one. I ROUTINELY drive over an hour to the next decent one for ANY and EVERY thing. This hospital in my neighborhood? Kept my son in law in an open, unre...

Twenty five years ago, the patients and their families respected the nurses. They treated us with respect, and nobody pitched a screaming fit at the nurse because their significant other couldn't sleep in the bed with them, or because they weren't a...

Even if you weren't pregnant, the not getting paid in a timely manner would be reason enough for me to RUN away. That would certainly be an acceptable answer to the interview question "Why are you leaving your current job?" "They are two months beh...

"Borrowing" meds is commonplace in nursing homes. Wrong? Yeah. Does it deter anyone from doing it? No. I've worked in many a nursing home in my day, four of them as a regular employee, heaven only knows how many I worked in as agency. Out of all...

DANG!!! Grumpy, aren't we? Who peed in your Wheaties this morning????

I have no advice for you, but congrats on the new job! Sounds like a nice change of pace - best of luck to you!!:yelclap:

One word: WON - DER - FUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a healthy 50 year old with diabetes and asthma and I have never gotten a flu shot, nor do I intend to. And I have not been carried into the ER with flu. I did get a pneumonia shot - although even then I got pneumonia over the 4th of July this ...
