    Wearing scrubs to a funeral?

    xoemmylouox replied to Beanyamean's topic in General Nursing

    You can always wear black scrubs. Personally I don't think that anyone will care what you are wearing, instead they'll be glad you showed up to pay your respects. I'm amazed your clinic is closing and...

    Is there a best practice for educating pro vaccination?

    xoemmylouox replied to pmabraham's topic in General Nursing

    I deal with this EVERY day. It honestly gets so old. Most of the people who are against vaccines will not change. They don't care about facts, statistics, research, education, common sense, etc. Most...

    Laser Hair RN pay in Ohio. 20% commission/no hourly

    xoemmylouox replied to 48cgna's topic in Aesthetics

    Well they would certainly be profiting off of you. Will they offer you any free benefits? If all you are getting is 20% I'd keep looking or only do this on a very part time basis. That's a whole lot...

    xoemmylouox replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Nursing

    There are some that give rude responses, but for the most part I think we are all just trying to be helpful. When it comes to topics that are discussed EVERY WEEK it sometimes gets old. Especially...

    I have a problem

    xoemmylouox replied to Bigmaine33's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have to do my pre-reqs again as well. It's best to just suck it up and get started. I've waited several years, and wish I would have started this process sooner. My suggestion is meet with your...

    Medical Assistants being called nurses

    xoemmylouox replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know that most of our local MD offices employ MA's and LPN's in a healthy mix. I don't know who is who unless I look at their nametag which clearly indicates which they are. The physicians do not...

    RT vs. RN? Is RT a useless profession?

    xoemmylouox replied to AspiringRN27's topic in Nursing Career

    I LOVE good R/T. Their main focus is your patient's airway, while the Nurse has to focus on the patient as a whole. I would say they are F-A-R from useless. They can teach you a ton of things like...

    Think of moving to Florida after graduation, is it as bad as they say???

    xoemmylouox replied to Taylo806's topic in Florida Nursing

    Everyone that I have talked to (inside and outside of Nursing) has said Florida's job market sucks. I've heard it's slowly improving, but that Nursing is still over

    Endorsing Maryland license in Georgia

    xoemmylouox replied to itsme2's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I can tell you that endorsing to GA can be a very long and tedious process. Last I knew you had to go to GA and get fingerprinted there for the application. Go to the GA BON website and print off the...

    PTSD & Nurses

    xoemmylouox replied to swazi-maci's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know of anything outside of the USA. Perhaps starting with a local mental health provider and going from there. I know of many nurses who have suffered emotional and/or physical damage from...

    Black listing

    xoemmylouox replied to RN4JUSTICE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sounds like they may have set the OP up.. Sometimes you have to look outside of your local area to find a job if you have been blacklisted locally. Good luck with the laywer/lawsuit. I know these...

    Free Professional Organizations for Nurses

    xoemmylouox replied to OnaTrek's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree with Elkpark.. I don't know of any free ones, and would be very suspicious if there was a free one. The money to run the organization would be coming from somewhere. If not by the members then...

    Notes: Laptop, Tablet, or Paper?

    xoemmylouox replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    Pen(cil) and paper has always worked best for me. I would be to tempted to do other things if I used a laptop/tablet. Plus I still find it a lot easier and quicker to type than

    So Nervous

    xoemmylouox posted a topic in LPN to RN

    I think I am finally ready to start the process for my LPN to RN. I am taking a general placement test tomorrow to see how many pre-reqs I am going to have to take.. Man I forgot how tough some of...

    LTC facility trying to fire me over refusing to take on 50 residents

    xoemmylouox replied to NurseGeorgiapeach's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is an unsafe situation. I'm sorry, but it was unfair to double your patient load when you walk in the door. Then to threaten you with abandonment is even worse. Clearly either that manager is...

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

    I think this is a bit of an overreaction, however you did not document appropriately which led to a med error. Let this be an example to dot your i's and cross your t's because someone else's mistake...

    I don't see any grounds for a lawsuit at this point. Either you find a new job, address the problem, or learn how to deal with this MD. I would start applying elsewhere
