    Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    klone replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No, I think the OP's "relief" is the person who is out on leave, and they failed to get someone to cover her shifts, so they're wanting the OP (and others) to cover that second shift, essentially...

    Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    klone replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm only this far, so I don't know if this was addressed. But from what I gathered, these are patients whom the OP was taking care of during her shift, and the nurse who's out on leave comes on and...

    I need to interview a public health or hospice nurse for school

    klone replied to ReallyStalkingNurses's topic in Public, Community Health

    Not only that, but if the OP expects us to type out a response, answering all the questions, WE are doing all the work! That's not an interview, that's asking us to write an essay for you. An...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    klone replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing that is because tobacco use, even when only done at home, affects patients (people who smoke tobacco REEK, sorry/not sorry), and because tobacco use has a much more significant affect on...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    klone replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    There are three hospital networks that I'm aware of in Colorado that clearly state when you submit an application with them, that they are tobacco free and will not hire anyone who has been a tobacco...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    klone replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    Not always. Hospitals can choose to not hire employees who smoke tobacco. The same can be done for marijuana once it's been made legal federally. I live in Colorado, and I also work for a hospital...

    Hospitals discriminating against medical conditions..?

    klone replied to CosmoRN77's topic in General Nursing

    Even in said states, employers can decide that substance use precludes employment with them. Tobacco is legal, but many hospital networks are going "tobacco free" and test for cotinine in urine as...

    I need to interview a public health or hospice nurse for school

    klone replied to ReallyStalkingNurses's topic in Public, Community Health

    We don't do interviews here for students' homework. You will need to go out into your community and sit down with a public health or hospice nurse and interview someone in

    Is it illegal to place a towel over a patient's face?

    A long time ago I worked as a booking clerk at the county jail. The deputies would cover coughing or spitting inmates with towels (it wasn't affixed, just draped over the person's

    klone replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    No, I really can't. If you're going to WGU, then you need to identify an improvement that needs to be made at your place of work. Only you can do that. If you're having difficulty coming up with...

    Title RN/LVN

    klone replied to JENURSE03_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You would not put two nursing degrees in a title, just the highest one. So it would be MSN, RN, not MSN, BSN, RN I imagine it's the same for certifications, although I have seen "CNM, RN" which many...

    Rh + and - and Coombs and blood types

    klone replied to Postpartum RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As far as TDap - we give it to mom, starting around 28 weeks. For dads and other family members (called "cocooning") I don't believe it's offered on the postpartum unit, but our hospital network has a...

    I'll do my best: If the mom is Rh negative and becomes pregnant with an Rh + baby (which is only possible if the father is Rh +), her body will start forming antibodies against the + Rh if there is...

    Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?
