    Tait replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong place for this but you will need a license for Georgia specifically. You can check out the state licensing site or contact the BON. I think you can take the NCLEX here if you haven't already and...

    What to do if you disagree with the care of another nurse's pt?

    Tait replied to Erythropoietin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And I did note that in another post I made where I said my floor generally relied on each other and not RRT when a patient was questionable :) My point was basically not to confront her about the...

    Tattle Tale?

    Tait replied to andsoitis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This. Incident reports are intended to find errors in process, not place blame. I would feel more tattled on if a nurse went to the manager, than if they followed the hospital incident report...

    Hospital Insurance for Nurses

    Tait replied to cdale56's topic in General Nursing

    While it used to seem that nurses should be able to get the best insurance, with employee discounts as well, it sure doesn't look like that anymore. Last time I was on my work insurance we had a $150...

    Tait replied to Erythropoietin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As far as protocol I am surprised the OP said they didn't have one for CP. Our was always O2, Nitro SL X3 Q5, stat EKG, VSS monitoring, call MD, and there is morphine in there too. Most of us would...

    Unprofessionalism in nursing school. Wrong to report it??

    Tait replied to nurse0811's topic in General Students

    I don't have any advice that hasn't been given already but I have to say I am concerned about the amount of bullying posts cropping up. When the heck are people expected to be adults?

    What to do if you disagree with the care of another nurse's pt?

    Tait replied to Erythropoietin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. I have had RR in a the room, an MD order on the chart, and was waiting 30 minutes for a bed when the family came in and told us the patient was supposed to be a DNR, but it hadn't been...

    No appreciation for NOC

    Tait replied to bratmobile's topic in General Nursing

    One time they had a party on days and left all the food out, including like 3 little smokey sausages in congealed BBQ sauce and said "oh we left it out so you guys could eat". Yeah because 7pm is a...

    I am a big mouth when it comes to advocating for nights after working them for the majority of my career. I have tried to tell admin that they need to think about them more than just on the designated...

    Tait replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't done so but I know my previous employer had compliance hotlines you could call and anonymously report on. I haven't read this yet, and it is a little old (2000), but it is from the OIG on...

    Tait replied to BuckRN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband learned a great deal of Hebrew for his previous job with an Israeli company using Rosetta Stone. Might be worth looking into! If I would go back to bedside I would give it a shot as I would...

    Lost my spot in the nursing program

    Tait replied to CaitlinWilliams's topic in General Students

    It may feel right now as though life is going to fall apart, but trust me, if you keep chugging on it will work out. I was in my program, but I had to back up a semester due to a failed clinical. I...

    reporting a harassment

    Tait replied to greatestsummerever's topic in General Students

    Then I think the first step is to talk to an advisor outside of your program. Perhaps someone in academic advising. They can point you in the right direction of who can handle it next. I would not...

    Well fitted dress slacks, closed toe shoes (I actually love to wear my Danskos), conservative top and simple hair and makeup (though I don't generally wear makeup at all). Arizona is hot, but if it is...
