  2. How do you become a Moderator for this site??

    flashpoint replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the term "play nice" is meant to be demeaning at all...it is simply a general way of saying don't attack, don't flame, don't get off topic, don't swear, etc...basically, just be nice to...

  3. How do you become a Moderator for this site??

    flashpoint replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Not talking about WebTV, but I do find that to be very true...people get mad at everyone on one board, start their own, invite everyone to join, and then start banning people or editing posts simply...

  4. How do you become a Moderator for this site??

    flashpoint replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Some of the moderated boards are worse though...I got booted off one because the moderator decided that I lied about my sister dying...she didn't read the obit in the newspaper and was sure I was just...

  5. How do you become a Moderator for this site??

    flashpoint replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    The mods on this site are probably some of the best I've seen...I rarely see trolls, profanity is kept to a minimum, threads are closed before they get too heated or WAY off topic. Some of the other...

    flashpoint replied to TazziRN's topic in Emergency

    I actually have ICE in my cell phone, but I've never looked in a patient's phone for it. I don't think it could hurt

  8. Venting about a new CNA...this is really, really long!

    flashpoint replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Are you sure about that? http://www.snopes.com/language/stories/gringo.htm No matter what, I think that if you decide to go to a country and make it your home, you need to adapt to the rules,...

  12. Palm TX or Palm T5?

    flashpoint replied to mjpa28's topic in General Nursing

    I love my TX...don't really know much about the T5, so I can't really say if it is better or not. The TX has a lot of memory, which is good, the colors are really vibrant, it is fast, the charge...

  13. Venting about a new CNA...this is really, really long!

    flashpoint replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Well, duh! If she got stung, she would die instantly...she wouldn't even be able to flip open the flip phone before her cold dead body hit the ground. That wasn't very nice of me to say...sorry. The...

    Nightingale Syndrome is real...I know it

  15. Venting about a new CNA...this is really, really long!

    flashpoint replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I can see the point about her taking the heat if someone isn't dry or repositioned, but usually, I made rounds with the CNA...sometimes I skip 0200 rounds because I am charting or something like that,...

  16. Venting about a new CNA...this is really, really long!

    flashpoint replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    LOL...I was going to tell her that I am friends with one of the police dispatchers and that according to her, none of the officers even drink coffee...there isn't even a coffee pot at the...

  19. pacify or orientate? Alzheimers...

    flashpoint replied to Lfransis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It is not a matter of not respecting you...I certainly see your point, but I know that the textbook way to do things isn't always the best way for everyone. I believe that textbooks are a guide, not...

  20. HIPPA Question

    flashpoint replied to -Emma-'s topic in General Nursing

  21. Gross Out Co-Worker

    flashpoint replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone remember that TV show (kind of like American Idol) where contestants got to show their inventions? Someone on the show invented inserts to put in underwear that were supposed to absorb...

  22. Co-worker hitting up the Dr.s for meds during shift?

    flashpoint replied to babiesX2's topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital I worked at, it was very much against the rules to ask for a "hallway consult." The biggest reason is the paper trail...there is no place for the doctor to document that he wrote you...

    flashpoint posted a topic in General Nursing

    flashpoint replied to mickeypat's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We have a bunch of miniature alarm clocks that we can set adn carry in our pockets to remind of us things like qh turns, unusual med times, checking effects on PRNs, etc. It may seem to some that we...

    flashpoint replied to SNKerri's topic in General Nursing

    We have a brand new RN at the nursing home I work at. She got her license in July and has never had a job. She is pretty nervous and still second guesses herself a lot. She made a med error...she...
