    Unit Secretary tells me she regularly snoops electronically

    TazziRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    BIG violation! Since the pt was transferred the pt is no longer a pt of your facility, therefore there was no need to know. She does it all the time but hasn't been caught yet. When she does get...

    When I was pregnant I was exposed three times to meningitis...all three presented with atypical symptoms. All three times the staff freaked out on my behalf when it was announced. On another occasion...

    Nursing Concerns/Advice

    TazziRN replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    If the pt refuses to be up, not much you can do except document the dickens out of it. Document the conversations with the doc, the mom, and the pt if he's at all with

    TazziRN replied to hoolahan's topic in General Nursing

    Today I was "That" Aide

    TazziRN replied to VenaKavaRN's topic in General Nursing

    My feeling: if you usually do not make mistakes, and you showed me you learned from this (remorseful, careful, etc.), I would not have a problem with you. You were in a bad situation that you tried to...

    Nurses who are chiropractors

    TazziRN replied to jmusico's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, you can, just like you can be an RN and a paramedic. You just have to be careful about not overstepping the boundaries of each

    VERY Important Interview Question!!!

    TazziRN replied to LostNurse24's topic in General Nursing

    Be honest, but be honest about both sides of it. Is there anything at all that you had even the smallest part in? Did the contract have something in it that you should have seen but didn't because you...

    After 15 years - I may be one more nurse to add to the shortage

    TazziRN replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Try home health. I'm serious. I burnt out from the ER after 19 years and felt beaten down. I found my niche when I went into home health. I love it. I get to spend one on one time with my patients and...

    Can I challenge the LVN exam?

    TazziRN replied to Blondie2008's topic in General Nursing

    When I got my CNA I applied at the local army hospital in response to their ad for an aide. The job description included starting IVs and whatnot. When I questioned the title I was told that the...

    Home health?

    TazziRN replied to lvnandmomx3's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on what kind of home health: would you be seeing multiple pts for acute care, or spending most of or all day with one pt? For the former, you would need to brush up on assessment skills,...

    TazziRN replied to deletethisaccount's topic in General Nursing

    I think modified codes are always for the family's sake, not the doc's. Isn't the yay or nay part of the decision to be a full code up to the pt, not the

    Do you like being a nurse?

    TazziRN replied to mandy3214's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's true. Yes, the pros outweigh the cons, at least it does to me. Yes, it can be VERY fast paced. Yes, life or death decisions are made by nurses, more so in critical care but in all other...

    Do Most LVN/LPN's hate RN's?

    TazziRN replied to junebride's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Maybe I'm naiive, but not the LVNs I know. I have a great working relationship with them and I know that there are things they know that I don't, just because they've been in home health longer than...
