    on being the patient and critical

    xoemmylouox replied to bradleau's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for sharing your story with us. I am sorry to hear of the poor care you received. There are a few patient care providers (nurses, mds, etc) who don't provide the care they should :angryfire....

    Shady shift change

    xoemmylouox replied to 86toronado's topic in General Nursing

    That is awful, and those nurses should be ashamed. It would be bad enough on a med surge type floor, but esp in the ICU! I would report this without blinking. Let them label the action itself. You...

    LPN jobs

    xoemmylouox replied to donna65738's topic in General Nursing

    I wish the hospitals here would be hiring LPNs. Maybe the positions are in the medical clinic linked with that hospital not in the hospital

    Synagis season.. Ugh!

    xoemmylouox posted a topic in Pediatric

    The dreaded Synagis (RSV) season will be here before we know it. Why is it so dreaded..??? Well not only because it is terrible to see such sick kids, but the never ending battle of wills with INS...

    Are you sure that you went far enough? With males you can hit their prostate and you may think that you made it to his bladder, but in fact it was just his prostate. If this happens have him take a...

    Prior Authorization for Advanced Imaging(MRI, CT,PET)

    xoemmylouox replied to tlburnsrnbsn's topic in General Nursing

    I work in an md office. My job is to handle referrals and authorizations. I find that each company is different, as well as each plan. You will learn which require just a physician referral, and which...

    Critical care right out of school? Please advise...

    xoemmylouox replied to mslagowski's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously you like the fast paced, very intense area ( ER ), so if working with little ones is you thing NICU would be great. They also must see something in you if they are offering this to you as...

    Letter Campaign to Oprah regarding the so called "Nursing Shortage"

    xoemmylouox replied to darcicat's topic in General Nursing

    I can see your point as well. I don't find Oprah to be sleazy tv though. I am no fan of hers by any means, but I do find she is one of the more respected talk show hosts. If we were talking about the...

    Are you where you thought you'd be?

    xoemmylouox replied to stillearnin's topic in General Nursing

    I am not where I thought I would be. I thought I would already be well on my way to my BSN working in the hospital as an LPN. I do like my job, but it doesn't offer the ability to go to nursing...

    Needle sticks are possible with any job involving needles. Even if it is the childrens imm. clinic you can still have a needle stick. Children can carry disease as well. You can always give it a try....

    Letter Campaign to Oprah regarding the so called "Nursing Shortage"

    xoemmylouox replied to darcicat's topic in General Nursing

    Well I don't see anything wrong with writing to Oprah. It is apparent nurses are having different experiences with the job hunt. I know many in this area who have had many years of experience, and...

    The head of HR fired this person for watching movies at work

    xoemmylouox replied to hospicerocks's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry you are going through this. This is just another example of someone trying to make a quick dime at others expense. Hopefully this won't actually make it to court. Good

    Hospital Staffing Cutbacks Rant

    xoemmylouox replied to BeachyRNn08's topic in General Nursing

    I see it everywhere. Even in the doctor's office I work in. Our practice could use another LPN/CMA or two. It is ridiculous how busy things are right now. Something is going to be missed or a patient...

    Any adrenalin junkies out there?

    xoemmylouox replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I love it as well. I am an LPN so none of the hospitals will of course hire me right now, so I volunteer at the ER. No one seems to understand that the blood & guts and crisis situations are just...

    xoemmylouox replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I think that in today's world there is so much stress that no one wants to hear a complaint because that means another thing to add to their plate. It isn't how things should be, but how they are. It...

    xoemmylouox replied to CaLVN530's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't know that this qualifies as abuse, it may violate HIPPA. I would def. talk to a lawyer. If you haven't yet this is a good example why it is good to have nursing ins. You just never know. Good...
