    Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    klone replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Again, as long as they're doing their job effectively, I don't care. Being "evil" towards others is not doing one's job

    What is something you never thought you'd have to say to a coworker?

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    We had parents in the clinic that used the Oxivir/Cavi-wipes when changing their baby's diaper.

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Please stop telling patients that the Covid vaccine causes Covid. (I actually didn't say that to her, I just fired her) I can't think of any others right now, but I do have a good one that I had to...

    What would you do?

    klone replied to phuba's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wait, if you weren't offered the job in L&D, and the mother/baby unit doesn't hire new grads, what is your dilemma? Why would you go back on the job offer in onc and face...no job at all?...

    Magnesium sulfate

    klone replied to Djknurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The LR on the pump IS the main line. So you have 2 bags of LR hanging, one of which is not actually infusing? What is its purpose? Management is correct that you should have a main line/primary line...

    Does anyone know if a Women’s Health/Med Surg position for New Grads is OB/GYN?

    klone replied to S KD's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's probably post-op gyn, mastectomy, that type of thing. Possibly some early pregnancy hyperemesis

    klone replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    To offer a little hope - our vaccine clinic, where we see anywhere from 80-250 patients per day, is still seeing 1st dose appointments. Tomorrow we have 8 adults coming in to get their 1st dose of...

    Nurses Oppose New CDC Rule Lowering Isolation Time for COVID-Positive Nurses

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ah, so it was a flash in the pan recommendation that lasted all of 3 days, before an updated recommendation came out for everyone. I think it's disingenuous/sensationalistic to write an article...

    Nurses Oppose New CDC Rule Lowering Isolation Time for COVID-Positive Nurses

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "Isolation" - what a person does while recovering from, or after testing positive to, Covid. "Quarantine" - what a person does when they have been exposed and they're waiting to make sure they...

    Nurses Oppose New CDC Rule Lowering Isolation Time for COVID-Positive Nurses

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yep, and in those situations, the reduced isolation time doesn't matter because they should remain at home until their symptoms have improved and they're fever free for at least a day. First,...

    Nurses Oppose New CDC Rule Lowering Isolation Time for COVID-Positive Nurses

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The statements in the OP are not correct: They can return to work after 5 days, and no negative test is required, per the CDC (individual facilities may have their own policies, but at this...

    ICU to m-f to l&d midwife?

    klone replied to Britt2's topic in General Nursing

    No. L&D is a 24/7 job, and most likely as someone new to the unit, you will start out on night shift. If you want women's health, rather than specifically L&D, you could work in a...

    Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    klone posted a topic in General Nursing

    As in, there are two employee restrooms, and the boss has requested that if you're going to poop, you should use the restroom in the "dirty utility area" because of odor. And if you DO poop in the...

    Advice Needed- Challenging Employees

    klone replied to Dr.Naija_Glam's topic in Nurse Management

    I might explain to them that since I am salaried, I would be working for free, while they get compensated generously for working on a weekend or holiday. And since I am on call, even when I'm not at...

    This was on LinkedIn this morning, and I thought it might resonate with you: Leaders must transition from being responsible for the job, to being responsible for the people who are responsible...

    I am the nurse manager of a very large primary care practice, one of several of part of a large-ish HMO/hospital/primary care network (like Kaiser Permanente, but not as big). Last Spring we...

    klone replied to klone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wow, no. It wasn't a widely publicized event (only the parents of that school district were told about it). I live in a fairly liberal community (Minneapolis) so I have yet to see any protesters....
