    The Story of Jahi Continues

    xoemmylouox replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I cannot believe this nightmare continues. I wonder how the other siblings are doing with what is still going on. There isn't going to be enough money to pay for the long term psychological help they...

    Quit job because of bad boss.. now she's gone and I want to go back

    xoemmylouox replied to emilyy11's topic in General Nursing

    Well... We can't solve that problem for you. Maybe go back PRN at the old job? It is hard to turn down State benefits once you start with them. Plus who is to say that if they hire you back they...

    boundaries

    xoemmylouox replied to fataldream81's topic in General Nursing

    The real issue becomes when you know someone personally, who then becomes a patient where you work. That makes it messy. I wouldn't continue this relationship if I were you, but that's just my...

    do you gain or lose weight while working

    xoemmylouox replied to Valsabatini's topic in General Nursing

    I have gained. I eat waaaaaaay too many baked goodies that coworkers and patient families bring in. It's ok. I'm too lazy and I like naughty things too much to be

    Fragrance Sacrifice

    xoemmylouox replied to Shonqueen1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't wear anything most days. I spend good money on that stuff and my patients aren't going to appreciate it so I save it for my hubby when I am at

    night nurse can't sleep during the day!

    xoemmylouox replied to keener's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same issue when I worked nights. I could only get 4 hours or so of sleep. If I woke up to use the restroom that was it, I was up. It actually didn't bother me much. We were able to self...

    non see through white scrub tops

    xoemmylouox replied to lablonde14's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would wear a tank under them. That eliminates any issue. It is what I did during nursing school when we had to wear white

    How do you track CEs?

    xoemmylouox replied to Curious on Nursing's topic in General Nursing

    So far I have never had to pay for any. I do 99% of them on Medscape which tracks them for me. Then my local medical school offers a few a year if I need them. If I use the medical school for them I...

    On average, How much does a traveling NP make in the US?

    xoemmylouox replied to Eclilight's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure that is nearly impossible to answer due to the wide variety of influencing factors like the company pay, desperation of the facility, area of the country, tax set up, experience,

    Spot Vision tester

    xoemmylouox replied to OldDude's topic in School

    We use it to screen routinely at 18months & 3 years. If there are concerns you can use it in as young as 6 months I believe. I'm surprised you need to be certified. This thing is about as simple...

    Can I work for a hospital if owe them money?

    xoemmylouox replied to parafreddy's topic in General Nursing

    Each employer is different of course. My employer is less than reasonable when it comes to getting their money. They couldn't care less if you are an employee or not. They want their money now or else...

    The every year Snow thread

    xoemmylouox replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Snow sucks. I have never had an employer make ANY accommodations for their employees (except of course the managers who do not provide ANY hands on patient care - they would get hotel rooms). I have...

    Have you discovered the therapeutic benefits of a good laugh?

    xoemmylouox replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. My husband's ability to make me laugh was the number one reason I got with him (and still remain married to him). Laughter doesn't fix whatever issue that is going on, nor does it make the...

    xoemmylouox replied to KRN589's topic in General Nursing

    For workman's comp to cover I'm sure you will have to wait. If you want peace of mind you might have to pay out of pocket. I know it is easy to say not to worry, but do try to not let this haunt you....

    Unpaid Mandatory Meetings?

    xoemmylouox replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in General Nursing

    My part time job has "mandatory" unpaid meetings as well. I haven't attended a single one that did not occur on a shift that I was already scheduled for. They can last up to 2 hours! I'm sorry, but if...

    MD hung up on me lol

    xoemmylouox replied to Coldsvt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well.. I don't suggest swearing at the next MD as it might cost you your job, but I'm glad it worked and the MD was able to "find" the time to be of

    21 Credit Hours - Need to Stay Organized!

    xoemmylouox replied to ice-princess's topic in General Students

    Wow.. That is a heavy load. Hopefully some of the Gen Ed classes are "easier". I agree using some sort of a planner/calender. I use both my iphone calender as well as a paper calender to keep myself...

    xoemmylouox replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

    I am exhausted from just reading the OP's first post. This behavior has to be addressed from the start. Letting them know this behavior will not be tolerated as it puts other patient's lives at risk....

    xoemmylouox replied to SUNNYARIZONA's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Kudos to the OP for owning up to the mistake and then taking responsibility for it. I'm glad things worked out in the end, and it was a lesson learned. I am glad that you followed the advice we give...

    I'll never understand those who post on here asking questions, who then turn around and get downright rude with their responses back. Why ask if you don't want to hear our answers? I know people tend...

    License

    xoemmylouox replied to Nursing5000's topic in General Nursing

    I would call your BON and ask them. I'll be honest and say I doubt that they will make an exception in your case. Even if you renewed your license late you cannot work at your employer without a...
