    FlyingScot replied to CoffeePRN's topic in Emergency

    What kind of emergency nursing certificate is this? Are you in the

  2. Made a child with cancer cry.

    FlyingScot replied to Girlafraid13's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Having cancer or any other illness isn't a free-pass to be rude or abusive whether a child or an adult. I could understand if he cried because he didn't feel like putting his toys away but actively...

    FlyingScot replied to sreynolds's topic in Emergency

  7. I want to throat-punch my co-worker

    FlyingScot replied to Annie Wilkes RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know Ruby. Normally I'm all over people who get offended by the least little thing and start yelling "NETY" and "bullying" but there's something about this situation that rings differently. My...

  8. Is this a "Performance Improvement Plan" or are they just trying to fire me??

    FlyingScot replied to AvaRN22's topic in Nursing Career

    How badly do you want to stay at this job because I see two courses of action? And from the wording of the PIP yes they are gunning for you. This is what's called a paper trail. If you want to keep...

  9. If you wear Danskos.... How often do you replace shoes?

    FlyingScot replied to dannygirl04's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My Sanitas were like that. They are virtually identical. I sized up and that fixed the issue. Just make sure they aren't sloppy big. That's how people roll their

  10. Pearsonvue Trick

    FlyingScot replied to khukhai's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    How would any of us know this? If we answered we'd just be guessing. Unfortunately there isn't anything anybody here can tell you to relieve your anxiety. You're just going to have to

  11. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

  12. My Nursing Instructor Is making clinical a nightmare

    FlyingScot replied to Chole_0316's topic in General Students

    I think many of us have been in the same place including myself. Just get through it and let it go. I disagree with talking to anybody about it. Unless you want to open up a can of worms which may...

    There are so many offensive statements made by the OP that I am actually struggling to refrain from going off on

  15. Placed on administrative leave, reason unknown

    FlyingScot replied to TurtleN84's topic in General Nursing

    Just for clarification the term is "employment at will". "Right to work" has to do with union jobs as in having the right to do the job without joining the

  16. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    FlyingScot replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    Then I guess I'll have to pay back to the clinical instructors because that's who taught me. I rarely had contact with the floor nurse. As to the second bolded there are no on-line pre-licensure...

  17. Mandatory flu vaccines

    FlyingScot replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Got mine yesterday and I think I did. At least that's my excuse. It's my story and I'm sticking to

  18. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

  19. First on scene to car wreck

    FlyingScot replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    I think the issue isn't that the patient was driving in general but that the patient continued to drive while attempting to take nitro. The prudent thing to do was to pull

    FlyingScot replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

  21. First on scene to car wreck

    FlyingScot replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    If anybody is interested the American Red Cross offers a first aid course that might be helpful and/or interesting. It certainly covers many things we were never taught in nursing school. CPR, First...

  22. First on scene to car wreck

    FlyingScot replied to T-Bird78's topic in General Nursing

    Just to make you feel better this is an urban myth. The Georgia Good Samaritan Law does cover you. College Park Personal Injury Lawyer / Atlanta Car Accident Attorney Personal Injury Attorneys for...

  23. Missed a fracture.

    FlyingScot replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    WHAT!!!!! You waited and ENTIRE 20 minutes before you sent her home?! Don't you know she might have DIED!! She was a TRAUMA victim for gosh sakes. What kind of nurse are you? I would have called for a...

  24. Is it okay to have snacks in my pockets for clinical?

    FlyingScot replied to NotAllThoseWhoWander's topic in General Students

    Food is not allowed in patient care areas per OSHA. This includes the nurses station. If your friends had to "sneak" in food then what they were doing was wrong. Students are guests of the facility....

  25. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    FlyingScot replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    No, you aren't the only one. I found it maudlin, self-aggrandizing and frankly, not really believable. Nor did I think it was very well executed. But I'm not fond of dramatic monologues to begin with...
