  1. Horrible care given to SIL post accident!!!

    barefootlady posted a topic in General Nursing

    Yesterday afternoon my SIL, a mail carrier in N.C. was hit by a car. In fact the lady who hit him did not even look to see what was behind her, backed into him as he was putting things into his car...

  2. Horrible care given to SIL post accident!!!

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Roy, Clearly, I either expect a higher level of care than is given today, or I am so old fashioned in my nursing I do not see the forrest for the trees. I have dealt with PA's and NP's. I have...

  3. Our census is very low, canceled right and left

    barefootlady replied to inthesouthrn's topic in General Nursing

    People are so worried about the economy until the ulcers kick in they do not dwell on being sick. Afraid of the bill and what insurance will stick them with. Everyone is worried. I remember someone...

  4. Horrible care given to SIL post accident!!!

    barefootlady replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    My SIL does not take narcotics. He did not ask for narcotics. He was not asked for allergies in that ER. EMS took the only vitals taken. This whole story seems like a comedy of errors unless you...

  5. Neurotin

    barefootlady replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    My physician told me this over a year ago. He says a 1000 mg of Vitamin D seems to work as well or better than Neurontin. I have to agree. I take it daily for diabetic neuropathy in my feet, I had...

  6. HELP! Husband is depressing me! NEED ADVICE!

    barefootlady replied to 2bNurseLove419's topic in General Nursing

    You already are thinking about what life for you and the baby will be like if hubby is gone. I agree he is under lots of pressure and is very young. Counseling is very much needed by both parties,...

  7. How do you like Centennial Hills Hospital?

    barefootlady replied to travelcrazyRN's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Bocachick, Elaborate please, nothing personal, but with 22 years of experience, you should have something concrete to

  9. Fred W Eberle School Of Practical Nursing

    barefootlady replied to Lorrie1964's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats to you on passing the test. I do not know the school but I do know the LPN program at any facility is demanding, they look for people who are ready and willing to commit to a full year of...

  10. Advice Please! A cna spread a rumor about me.

    barefootlady replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Both of you deserve a dose of discipline. Act like

  11. I couldn't believe this

    barefootlady replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    On floors that are known for having codes, a red, locked tool box with extra basic drugs is usually kept in the med room for just such emergencies. It is checked weekly by nurses and pharmacy that it...

  12. I couldn't believe this

    barefootlady replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Had many a lecture about giving things to other units, including snacks, only to have the NM back down when "a situation" came into play. My thinking is, it really belongs to the facility, sure a...

  13. Cincinnati Anyone??

    barefootlady replied to NursePeace's topic in Ohio Nursing

    LTC in hiring LPN's in that area. Lot's of ads. Good

  14. Post-op care of pt's with epidural

    barefootlady replied to nbnurse95's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I belong to the group of nurses who believes in the overkill of care for the first 24 hours for epi patients. The patients have better outcomes, problems with pain control, site leakage, site edema,...

  15. My fault????

    barefootlady replied to stalsrn's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Not your fault, but you should learn from this mistake. The nurse who gave report should have told you which bottle of albumin the patient was on. It should have been reflected on the MAR. I would...

  16. Reported to Manager; What do I do

    barefootlady replied to nelcoy4's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry this happened to you. Sounds like this place is attempting to get all new staff for a new manager. Never a good idea but it happens frequently. I would just hand in my notice. Down the road...

  17. Nurse in trouble for complete nonsense.

    barefootlady replied to sicushells's topic in General Nursing

    A sad commentary on the place you work. The manager should have gotten all of the facts prior to speaking with this nurse. I think this nurse needs to file some sort of letter of complaint in her HR...

  18. Night shift employees expected to attend things during day??

    barefootlady replied to ArwenEvenstar's topic in General Nursing

    I could fill a coffee cup with all of the appreciation the night shift has been shown over the years and still have less than a full cup. LOL! Save the fight for the big

  19. Med/Surg or Not to Med/Surg. That is the question?

    barefootlady replied to ButterPeacanRican's topic in General Nursing

    Med/Surg used to be the basic building block but no so much anymore. Follow your heart and your dream. Good

  20. Reported to Manager; What do I do

    barefootlady replied to nelcoy4's topic in General Nursing

    Batman gave you good advice. The trick is to look busy, and most of the time it can be done. I am sorry for the age

  21. Need Answers About Camden Clark Hospital

    barefootlady replied to chloeysmom's topic in General Nursing

    Recently spoke with a family member from Parkersburg area. He had a horrible experience there last month just trying to get some sort of routine tests. He said they lost his orders, took forever to...

  22. low census, cancell that deprives nurses of their livlihooding shifts

    barefootlady replied to jam2007's topic in General Nursing

    Fellow Nurses: Every state has laws that govern this type of behavior for health care facilities. Yes, they do have the right to call you off if the census is low. The catch is, only 1 call off per...

  23. I need a hug!!!!

    barefootlady replied to jprn7171's topic in General Nursing

    Hello Jenny, I think this is a dark cloud with a silver lining for you. Sure, it is scary now but there are nursing jobs out there, you may have to look a little harder, maybe even move to another...

    Hey ed, How is every little thing? I see from your post you are still at the VA and seem to be enjoying it very much. Have a great day, good luck with school. Keep us posted. Blessings to

  25. WV BON recognize excelsior grads???

    barefootlady replied to sconoli's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I do know at one time WV BON accepted this program. I worked with 2 nurses who did it, one went on to get a job at the VA in Beckley. Ed is giving you some good advice about being patient,...
