  1. Why is unionization a subject of taboo??

    treysdaddy08 replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    First union I can recall, was led by the founding fathers. Second was led by Abe Lincoln, and continued by Rosa Parks, et al. A union is a group of people that sacrifice, so that their successors...

    I seriously want to make that my tag on...everything! now.

  7. A little frustrated.. need to vent...

    treysdaddy08 replied to ziggysgal,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Med aids are a step above CNA's and a step below lpn's (although it's a big step lol). The reason most of them call themselves nurses, I believe, is that they are told (I believe in their classes, but...

  8. Nursing School while still working?

    treysdaddy08 replied to djdietz's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on how you learn. If I read your post correctly, you've got at least *some* college under your belt, so that helps a lot. You know how much you had to study to get the grades you...

  9. how will health care reform impact the nursing job market?

    treysdaddy08 replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I think the nursing shortage will come back with a vengeance. You'll have the pre retired nurses likely retiring again, those who were delaying finally getting to, and now millions of people who...

  10. "I don't need that medication... I've been healed"

    treysdaddy08 replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    You could ask them, "Do you think its possible that God is healing you by assisting us in helping you?" Or some variation of

  11. Stop the nursing shortage insanity

    treysdaddy08 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

    Well, also realize that when the economy finishes it's turnaround, all the nurses that were retired will most likely re-enter retirement, plus all the nurses that were headed that way anyways. On top...

  12. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    treysdaddy08 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I should have been more specific. My mo was an aide fir 25 years in a hospital and was 51. She new what she was signing when she chose to go full code

  13. disappointed in myself

    treysdaddy08 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This will probably be a bit of a long one... So I started my pre-req's for the local nursing program 5 (yes, 5!!!) years ago. I completed them in the normal time frame of 2 years. I didn't apply the...

  14. Are you aware of how you conduct yourself in public?

    treysdaddy08 replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    Are you, "Allowed" by HIPPA to talk about a pt at the nurses station? No. Why not? It's a violation of that pts privacy. If you walk up to a pt in the middle of the store and ask, "how they are...

  15. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    treysdaddy08 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    My mom is full code, and has stage 4 endometrial cancer. She was given 6-12 months to live 15 months ago. She now appears to be on "deaths doorstep" and still chooses to be a full code. Should we tell...

  16. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    treysdaddy08 replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I must disagree with #2. I'm sure there are pts that just want to "listen to things that are not to be heard", but, in my experience as a pt (actually, my wife was the pt while she was pregnant), I...

  17. Was this really a HIPAA violation

    treysdaddy08 replied to rainbowsfolly's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    1) You weren't working, weren't discussing a pt that you had while working, and did not share information about any pt with ANYONE. 2) Obvious. You had a release. You can't violate someone's privacy...

  18. Bummed

    treysdaddy08 replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Your point makes no sense. And I agree, you don't sound like a student. You sound like a CMA. When a nurse has to work (hard!) for 4+ years to get her license, they're going to be cautious about it....

  19. need help w/ head-to-toe assessment.....

    treysdaddy08 replied to cynrod's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Start at the head (or foot, whichever you feel more comfortable starting with) and check each area as you go down. When you're looking at an area, make sure you haven't missed anything by going...

  20. To round OFF or Not To round OFF

    treysdaddy08 replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also in school and we have problems like this often. Our instruc. tells us to round off everytimes EXCEPT in peds cases. Her theory is that because children are so small and are so sensitive to...

  21. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    treysdaddy08 replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not unhealthy, overworking is. Stress is. These are traits of nursing, but they're also traits of being a lawyer, doctor, or many other jobs. Nursing is a rewarding

    treysdaddy08 replied to DachRN's topic in Nursing Humor

  23. The Dumber than Dumb Prize... any nominations?

    treysdaddy08 replied to hosa32726's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had a friend, 16 yo, go to the hospital for acute appendicitice. When she got there the doctor told her that it wasn't appendicitice, she was going into labor. She was 9 mos pregnant and had no
