    A different type of lice question

    xoemmylouox replied to chasinRT's topic in School

    Document, document, document. You did the work so take the credit for it. This way when the school system decides they need to cut some more out of the budget, it won't be

    FNP - PMHNP required vaccinations

    xoemmylouox replied to 3**835Y's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes most clinics require staff to be current with vaccines. You might be able to find some alternative places that do not if this a problem for you. It only makes sense why vaccines would be required...

    Pts without insurance getting d/c on insulin

    Pts without insurance getting d/c on insulin

    xoemmylouox replied to sassyann85's topic in General Nursing

    Illegal or not, some still cannot find a way to pay for it, others refuse to. I would say each dept. has their own job requirements. I would hope that the case manager and social worker to work...

    Found a Peanut

    xoemmylouox replied to shermrn's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm afraid I will have to hear you sing it to state an informed opinion :). I think we all find the little "tricks" that help our patients. It's nice to share them with each other.. never know what...

    RSV...

    xoemmylouox replied to seasons18's topic in General Nursing

    Well you and your baby are at risk every time you leave the house (well prob. not you so much, since there is a good chance you have already had RSV as a child yourself). This year we have had a lot...

    Lessons Learned as an Expert Nurse Witness

    xoemmylouox replied to ElizabethStoneRN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting article. It is good for us to see that side of a lawsuit. It is a good reminder to document EVERYTHING. If you did the work you better give yourself the proof of it. Also it is a reminder...

    Why is it so hard to find part-time work?

    xoemmylouox replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    It always seems like the job we need or want isn't available. Once you manage to find a job similar to what you originally wanted.. you get FLOODED with calls from those you originally had applied

    xoemmylouox replied to studentih's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well if you think that them paying for your education is them showing their love, then they must not since you told us the debt remains... I think that you want to hear that what you are doing is...

    Deliberate sabotage?

    xoemmylouox replied to greenerpastures's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly. With all of the time the manager is spending setting up staff to fail or perhaps putting patients in danger, they could have just helped the staff out instead. These are the...

    xoemmylouox replied to studentih's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would never expect anyone else to pay for my education.. that includes my parents. However I gew up in a different household than most. Nothing has ever just been handed to me or bought for me....

    What happens if you resign while suspended?

    xoemmylouox replied to Capp's topic in General Nursing

    As others have mentioned... Legal or not is irrelevant. HR staff have "off of the record" conversations all of the time. Not to mention one of the HR reps at a previous employer may work at the...

    Am I in the Wrong??

    xoemmylouox replied to regerterb's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well my advice is again to always clarify. The more often everyone presses the issue, the more likely the MD will write orders as they should. Being reported here means being reports to the Licensing...

    New grad - critical care or elsewhere?

    xoemmylouox replied to NiftyNurse7209's topic in General Nursing

    I would apply like a crazy person everywhere. I would also start applying sooner rather than later. Most markets are oversaturated with nurses right now. Getting a paying job is the goal, even if it...

    Am I in the Wrong??

    xoemmylouox replied to regerterb's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It is just one of those lessoned learned experiences. You need to always clarify medication orders. If the MD does not write a time a medication should be given, they need to asked what time. If...

    IV INFUSIONS

    xoemmylouox replied to dmrodri's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I am amazed that there are healthcare clinics that do not have crash carts. You don't have to have the "full cart" per say, but should at least have epi, an AED, and oxygen on hand.
