    Smoking

    TazziRN replied to dutch_girl14's topic in General Nursing

    One hospital where I worked is completely smoke-free. Pts who smoke are prescribed the patch while in house if they need it, but they do not smoke because they can't go off campus to do so. The other...

    New RN coping with dying family...

    TazziRN replied to appleyooj's topic in General Nursing

    Tell her that the fact that the date comes once every four years makes it a special one, one that not everyone shares. It's the same for people born on the 29th. I am so sorry about your grandma, but...

    Night nurses

    TazziRN replied to ear's topic in General Nursing

    Some places make their night shift weekends Friday and Saturday; that way you work Thursday night, sleep on Friday, and still have two full weekend days before going back Sunday

    TazziRN replied to OklaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    While giving ample notice is desired, sometimes it just ain't gonna happen, 'cause if you do you're gonna kill someone before the last day. Good for

    Nursing and Family

    TazziRN replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    With facility nursing you get used to celebrating holidays on other days because you will have to take a turn working them, but otherwise it works out fine. With clinic or home health, etc., it's...

    racist comment

    TazziRN replied to XXl-cool's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am half Korean. I had an ER pt one day who was married to a Korean, and he kept calling me a half-breed: "You're a half-breed like my son", etc. His son came in to see him and the pt told him "That...

    Diversion- what are we missing?

    TazziRN replied to happynursy74's topic in General Nursing

    If you fail the diversion program in CA, you are never eligible for it again. I had to go through the state's probation program which was essentially the same thing in theory, for three years. I say...

    To nurse or not to nurse (or just do what you wanna do)?

    TazziRN replied to NurseCherlove's topic in General Nursing

    I can't advise someone else because it's different for each person. If it were me in that position I would cut back to per d or very part time, just to keep my hand in and get me out of the house on a...

    Can I take NCLEX-PN?

    TazziRN replied to cloudstrife1ph's topic in General Nursing

    If you had to wait a year to take the RN exam I'd probably say yes, but it's only two months. If you take the PN exam and pass it, then you have no time to get hired and oriented before you take the...

    New nurse here...slapped today by patient.

    TazziRN replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    Getting back to the OP, I'm wondering why she thought it was okay to hit if she honestly thought you were playing. If she hit other kids during play when she was a child, then she was a bully. If her...

    I have never been nasty to a student until now!!!

    TazziRN replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Keep that jerk away from my babies!!! I would have said the same thing to the student. I have a problem with my daughter whipping out her phone to text at inappropriate times, and I have told her "Put...

    Suggestive ways of how you handled difficult patients/family

    TazziRN replied to burnoutward's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that your manager is backing you up is a good thing. Sometimes it helps to remember that relatives are stressed when spending time in the hospital with a loved one, and nothing makes those...

    You can help me when you have time

    TazziRN replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    Excuse me??? I don't care how many times a pt is cleaned by this person or that, if the pt is incontinent 6 times in one hour, that pt still needs to be cleaned up before the skin breaks

    Vulnerable adult

    TazziRN replied to Alana211's topic in General Nursing

    At the very least the aide will receive some remedial teaching about skin safety/integrity. I doubt the social worker will have to notify anyone, unless we're talking about an LTC

    Is it true nurses dont like their job?

    TazziRN replied to ThePretender's topic in General Nursing

    There are parts of the nursing education that are boring but that doesn't mean it's not for you. And if that person sees nothing but unhappy nurses, it's the facility's fault, not nursing's. There are...
