    Last Chance Agreement

    TazziRN replied to anvano412's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You have relapsed. If your employer finds out the BON may get involved, if HR notifies them. Beyond that, we can't answer this question because it involves legalities. BTW......people who quit going...

    Pregnancy and Nursing

    TazziRN replied to Mommyof2RN's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have to tell her right away, but make sure you don't let her find out from your coworkers. She should be the first one you tell at work. When the time comes, just tell her that you're...

    Question about overworked and underpayed

    TazziRN replied to nancypants's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is not for everyone. There are those who get into the field and find out it's not what they expected. There are those who love it at first and then get jaded and tired and burnt out and leave...

    return from maternity leave-help!

    TazziRN replied to kidsRN999's topic in General Nursing

    Believe me, you'll be fine. Some skills may take a little thinking, but you know more than you think you do. Six months really isn't that

    If your afraid of killing someone, should you not pursue nursing?

    TazziRN replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not the greatest in math either but I did learn a formula in chemistry that has never ever failed me. I know others who were in the same boat, they learned a formula that works for them. As for...

    Relationships vs Gastic Bypass Surgery

    TazziRN replied to diva_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    The major reason for this is because one person changes and the other doesn't change with him/her. I don't mean lack of support. Change can mean habits, outlook on life, everything. It's similar to...

    Hpsp Navy Medial Officer???

    TazziRN replied to uspride50's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way of knowing where he would be sent, the Navy will send him where he is needed. Being a physician he would probably be behind the lines in a safe zone, or on a ship, but there are no...

    Sharps Container at Kaiser

    Sharps Container at Kaiser

    what should I do?

    TazziRN replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's hard, it will be one of the hardest things you ever do. You will do better if you don't have a family to worry about. Hosital positions generally pay the same for each step. If you want to...

    orthostatic hypotension

    TazziRN replied to chadash's topic in General Nursing

    *Sigh* How do I tell my family?

    TazziRN replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I admire you for your dedication and wish to serve, but you will miss much more than 2 months. The military sends you where they need you, and you won't always be able to take your family. You can't...

    Sharps Container at Kaiser

    TazziRN replied to GM1987's topic in General Nursing

    If it had the lid on it, no it can't be accessed by hand. The flap is such that it's impossible for a hand to get in

    Since intractable pain is considered an urgent/emergent issue, it would be appropriate to send to the ER if it's 4 am, the pt has not slept because of the pain, and the refill order has not been...
