I dont't think is bad to date a co-worker as liing as you maintain a professional relationship a t work. The poblem is some people are unable to do that. As far as a Supersivor dating someone they supervise is not appropriate perhaps if they wan to continue the relationship one of them should move to a different department.

I have to agree . I think APA format was invented by someone who wanted to make money..........:angryfire

I work full time and am currently working on my MSN online. It requires a lot od discipline. But ,is doable.

I am currently in MSN program. This is really helpful.

I am currently enrolled in a MSN. with University of Phoenix . They do not require GRE or MAT.

Yes , it is . Healthcare professionls need to learn to separate need to know and curiosity. At my facility we are not allowed t look up our own records. the computer has a tracking system.

As a Nursing Supervisor I have had to discipline nurses. I have never reported anyone ,but wont hesitate to do so if the nurse is incompetent and the patients are in danger. My advice to you is go by Policy and Procedure . If you go by policy you cant go wrong. The facility will have to back you up................Dont worry aboutbeing fired. Your Supervisor should provide you with the tools to do your job effectively. If there not doing it them perhaps you will be better off.

PRN meds are exactly that . When needed. Generally PRN meds should be order for patients that can ask for them .They are scheduled depending on the MD orders. You have o make sure to state reason and effectiveness at least an hour after med given. :uhoh3:Hope this helps.

The only time I can remember having to change clothes was when I worked In Neuro ICU or in the OR. All other areas you get to wear your scrubs outside the hospital. Part of the problem is that hospitals dont provide areas for staff to change.

We had a several situation where some employees looked at another employees record while he was a patient at the same hospital. After an investigation all staff members where fired and the employee filed am EEO and won. This is seroius stuff if you have no need to know then mind your own.............................

I have worked for the VA for the past nine years. A month ago I was told I had to put all my information in Vetpro. I had to think back to all my previous 19 yrs. of nursing. The VA does take a long time in the hiring process. But, then what government agency is not slow? I would contact human resources and tell them you are interested in aposition with them,but you have another offer and would like to know how long before thay give you an answer, This should give you an idea. It's worth the wait. The VA has excellent benefits ,job security is also a plus. Good Luck........................

Is anyone attending UOP Masters program.? I just started and would like some insight or shortcuts.

Tracy try the VA hospital In Salibury. They are expanding a lot of services and they are actively hiring. The pay and benefits are pretty good.

You can achieve anything you want with an average intelligence Determination and Persevarence!

At our facility we identify pts that no code with a yellow armband. We do our charting electronically so all our informtion is on the computer. The pts DRN status is identified when the pt. is admitted . As soon as the the DRN order has been written the arm band is placed on the pt.

I have worked in long term care and I have had state surveyors come in at 4am. Tha main thing the surveyors want to know is that you are providing safe quality care to the residents. Be polite to them. If they ask you a question you are not sure off ,tell them " I dont know the answer ,but I can look it up for you" Jus make sure where information is available if you dont know the answer. Make sure pts are identified priot to any treatment and that you provide privacy. this seems to be a biggy. Also, restraints and psych meds . make sure you can provide them with good documentation. And they are included in your nursing care plan. Hope this helps . Just be yourself and dont try to do things you dont ordinarily do. They notice these things. Good Luck!

:welcome: Hi I am new to this site . I would like very much to stay in touch with other nurses. I am not to sure how this works yet.
