  1. Would you assist in abortions?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To answer the question; I would not. At this time, I would not because I wouldn't be 100% comfortable with assisting. Because I don't feel that I can judge abortion to be ethical or not I wouldn't...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to gargimil's topic in New York Nursing

    Excelsior is a college in New York. They offer a program that allows LPNs and certain other medical personnel to obtain their RN at home. Basically you study for one subject at a time on your own...

  3. Should you agree to talk with lawyers without it being court ordered?

    FROGGYLEGS posted a topic in General Nursing

    The administrator of a facility I worked at two years ago has called me. They state they would like for me to attend a meeting with some attorneys regarding a former patient. They told me they...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to nursecathy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I haven't ever heard that story before. It is interesting. I've seen the same basic scenario played out numerous times, but I haven't ever seen any repercussions from it. Do you know when that...

  6. What do you bring home with you?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Stitchie's topic in General Nursing

    definitely tape and alcohol preps and some neosporin. I did have half a bottle of insulin. The strangest thing I can think of was a syringe with glucagon drawn up in it. (not a dirty needle though,...

  8. Should you agree to talk with lawyers without it being court ordered?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more with you about the "nothing to hide" motto. The one time I was subpoenaed it was as a witness; I wasn't named in the suit. The lawyers for both sides were quite friendly about...

  9. A day in the life of a developmental disability nurse...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Louisepug's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    I can't say that I actually know what it is like to work in DD. I did get a job offer at a state MR/DD facility just two weeks ago. The facility was nice. The staff seemed very nice. The staff to...

  10. Should you agree to talk with lawyers without it being court ordered?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing

    I am also sure that they aren't wanting to congratulate anybody for a job well done. The facility did tell me which patient this concerned but denied knowing why they were asking about this...

  11. RN assistance

    FROGGYLEGS replied to WHITECLOUD109's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Those questions can get tricky. A lot of them will have more than one correct answer. What you have to do is pick the answer that is "most correct". This is usually the answer that deals with what...

  12. Looking for good websites in which to do Nursing prereques

    FROGGYLEGS replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    For the prerequisites I'd check into CLEP testing. They are accepted by all colleges. Some colleges limit the number of credits you can get using this method though, so you might want to check into...

  13. What are your methods for keeping your cool at work?

    FROGGYLEGS replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    That is tough to answer. Yes, I have definitely felt that way at work before and I have also left the facility mad at the world and resenting that I would even have to return. Sometimes I try to...

    P.S. Is that your Pug on the avatar??

  15. Question about working in LTC

    FROGGYLEGS replied to Louisepug's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At my facility both the RNs and the LPNs assigned to work the floor function in the same capacity. Most of the office type jobs are held by RNs but we do have quite a few RNs on the halls. Those RNs...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing

  17. backdated MARs, med errors, & me in the middle

    FROGGYLEGS posted a topic in General Nursing

    Tonight I had a message from the nurse manager at work on my machine. She said she was calling because there were blanks on the MAR for a patient's IV ABX on both Saturday and Sunday night which is...

  18. administering sub cut heperain

    FROGGYLEGS replied to shirley297's topic in International Nursing

    I've seen a lot of bruising and some very minor swelling, but nothing the size of a golfball. You don't want to aspirate when injecting Heparin because that can cause a hematoma. You should apply...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to ERMedic's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I substitued the CLEP Human Growth and Development for Lifespan. Excelsior college now accepts either for the required class. If your school will accept the Growth and Devo. CLEP then I would take...

    FROGGYLEGS replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing

  22. backdated MARs, med errors, & me in the middle

    FROGGYLEGS replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing
