  1. Gving all the meds all at once?

    leslymill replied to ari3sdog's topic in General Nursing

    I too want to thank the OP for posting this topic. It is by far one of my favorites debates to read so far. We are all a little wrong. We are all alittle right. The standards are in the middle and we...

  2. Gving all the meds all at once?

    leslymill replied to ari3sdog's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with it and understand your concern. You need to document the time legally in a one hour time frame/ 5pm meds should not be given before 4pm and not later than 5pm without changing the...

  3. PCA Problems!

    leslymill replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Your vent is understandable. You did what was reasonable and appropriate with unfortunately a poor unreasonable outcome. Hindsightedness always comes too late though. Live

  4. RN to BSN online

    leslymill replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    UOW is University of Wyoming. The cheapest brick and mortar University with an on-line RN to BSN program that has been reported on here. Sad to hear about the

  5. Not enough attention to BMs in nursing today!

    leslymill replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  6. Nursing And Celebrities..........

    leslymill replied to futureRN09's topic in General Nursing

    I took care of a famous author in their home for a few weeks and it was a wonderful experience. They really didn't need an around the clock RN, but could afford the pleasant

  7. they cancelled my health insurance (I just had surgery)

    leslymill replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    It is so shocking I was thinking about it at work today. Keep us posted. It is just too wrong to describe. If they canceled your insurance because they knew you would need it, they should simple GO TO...

  8. Heroic measures on a full DNR pt?

    leslymill replied to jbp0529's topic in General Nursing

    If their temp is 104 will you give a Tylenol? It is the same principle really. I don't consider the doctors order aggressive but prudent. Just my opinion if it ws my MOM so to

  9. Do I have a right to be upset?

    leslymill replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    Well I think it is better, but still alittle rough. Glad you backed her in a corner and taped her mouth shut. Good for you. At least you Got the Lords birthday off so you can see your family at a good...

  10. Calling in sick before the holidays

    leslymill replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am in retail and to call in the day AFTER Thanksgiving means you probably shouldn't return to work. I was late last year and got docked two days tardy. WHY DO people shop at 4 AM anyway? The sales...

  11. Does anyone like Med-Surg?

    leslymill replied to swee2000's topic in General Nursing

    You obviously work on a floor that is well oiled and nurse friendly. If you can set your patient goals and MEET them it is the most satisfying place to

  12. You gotta be kidding me!

    leslymill replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    Here in Nevada it is not illegal to cam-record people in the

  13. Nursing Judgement...A thing of the past?

    leslymill replied to Jelli_Belli's topic in General Nursing

    As far as criticl thinking goes, I am with you 100%. My problem is the forms themselves hold up in court better than nurses do. That is why the OP is disgusted. So even if I and the patient chose to...

  14. A story I wanted to share. (Long)

    leslymill replied to mslinzyann's topic in General Nursing

  15. they cancelled my health insurance (I just had surgery)

  16. State mandated elder abuse

    leslymill replied to happydays352's topic in General Nursing

    You might check for some legal advice as well as the local media for a public opinion

  17. unsafe MD

    leslymill replied to girlgizmo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree he had no idea how to treat the hypertension and diabetes, but some of these patients were so out of control they needed a consult. It was hard to get him to address these problems. This was...

  18. Docmentary "The Bridge" and Suicide

    leslymill replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    I lived under the Golden Gate Bridge on Fort Baker for a few years and the stories about the bridge were predominantly about suicide. There was also a cliff on the other side of Fort Baker that was...

  19. Ceu Cruise

    leslymill replied to SANDRA RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think these are more and more common. Especial since the "Vacation"...opps I mean " Medical Conference" is a total tax right off. Why do you think most medical conferences are in New Orleans or Las...

  20. NA's not professionals

    leslymill replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    I thinkl the whole problem is disrespect. The CNA was talked down to and made to feel like she was an insignificant pee-on. My proof. Why does the manager need for the OP to reveil the name of the...

  21. Held Down and Forced to Take The FLu Shot

    leslymill replied to Nurse_FF_EMT's topic in General Nursing

    If you read it all. Two employees WERE apparently forced and held down to take the FLU shot, but they refuse to pursue charges. This unfortunately makes us wonder if these two employees are being...

  22. Harrassment on the Job

    leslymill replied to CrispyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the mobbing thread. The wicked can't rest till they see someone fall. Good move............. leaving. Fighting this behavior is draining and frankly is a stinky cloud that never really...

  23. NA's not professionals

    leslymill replied to Jabramac's topic in General Nursing

    I agree referring to them and us as licensed and unlicensed staff is more professional than professionals. In my opinion CNAs are professionals. That is just my opinion. Medical Assistants refer to...

  24. Shift Change on Med-Surg

    leslymill replied to nursemel374's topic in General Nursing

    I am surprized that JCAHO is requiring a primary care approach over a team approach which is what they are doing. I am surprised your still reporting like a team instead of primary, I thought most...

  25. Held Down and Forced to Take The FLu Shot

    leslymill replied to Nurse_FF_EMT's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it when people wont press charges due to all the mental anguish and fear of some kind of retalitory mobbing, but I suppose you can't blame them....Even if they could get rich and quit their...
