  1. How to get through this?

    Vito Andolini replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's probably harder for you not being able to physically get to your family, due to distance, expense of travel, landslides. You must rely on TV to keep in touch if the phones are down. What...

  2. PLZ HELP!? I need help with an assignment

    Vito Andolini replied to Julie2722's topic in General Nursing

    You really do need to do some research on your own, too. Especially on what the laws are about med errors. Some interesting reading for you might be to go to the website of NSO and read about their...

  3. Are You Popular At Work?

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    These are so interesting! Thanks to all for

  4. Dodo Birds We all Know and Work With

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Well, now, recall that many things that are accepted as truth, many even scientific "everybody knows it is so" facts turn out to be not so true upon further investigation. Could the germ theory be...

  5. How can I put my credentials on a nametag without writing a book?

    Vito Andolini replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    This issue is important. We can have 50 initials after our names and it all still does not equal MD or even DO. OK, flame me. And I know many here do not wish they were doctors. But the truth is,...

  6. Do you ever really find your "niche?"

    Vito Andolini replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    If you can live without working, why not retire and spend your time doing leisure activities? Forget Nursing. Develop your artistic side. Do volunteer

  7. The small pleasures you get out of your job.

    Vito Andolini replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    my check! and yes, of course, helping people is very

  8. Awful PCA situation

    Vito Andolini replied to feralnostalgia's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to protect yourself first, as suggested above. That would mean moving out, probably. I guess you can find out from the local police or library or the 911 Operator (but that method...

    Vito Andolini replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

    True. But there are still patients to keep alive. If someone signs up for nights, he must manage to be awake on

    Vito Andolini replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

    Did you ask her who? She might have been fishing. Doesn't matter

  11. Nurse Manager threatening to report me to BRN...

    Vito Andolini replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

    i think the manager might just be doing her best to get rid of this guy, who sounds like he has a chronic problem in this area. i could be wrong. i do not think the op is being used. op should write...

  12. Nurse Manager threatening to report me to BRN...

    Vito Andolini replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

    She will not take kindly to your having contacted the Board. She will fire YOU if you let her know you did. Keep your contact with the Board anonymous, if possible. You just are asking a general...

  13. Nurse Manager threatening to report me to BRN...

    Vito Andolini replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you can anonymously ask this question of the Board. I think your boss is coming on very strong, too strong. Not necessarily wrong, just wow, she's really wanting to get rid of this person it...

  14. When to draw the line on religious and cultural accomodation?

    Vito Andolini replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    The job is not about your comfort or happiness. It's about caring for the patient. It's not about forcing a patient to learn some new view or embrace new ideas embodied in people. Just get the...

  15. When to draw the line on religious and cultural accomodation?

    Vito Andolini replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    It's really not always prejudice that you are seeing, I think. And who cares anyway, if it is. Get your check and switch the assignment and don't give it all an extra thought. Stop being sensitive...

  16. When to draw the line on religious and cultural accomodation?

    Vito Andolini replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    How important is all this stuff anyway? A patient having a preference in caregivers, I mean? What I want from my job is an income, not every patient thrilled to have me as their nurse. People are too...

  17. Family member complaint. Sorry, long post.

    Vito Andolini replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

    Well, devil's advocate here - your preceptor should not have been so quick to comfort you. Not to upset you but there's no guarantee that this won't mushroom. I hope it does not but there's always...

  18. I was Hoping Someone Might Help Me with a School Assignment and Take a Breif Survey

    Vito Andolini replied to Caitlin023's topic in General Nursing

    good luck,

    Vito Andolini replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Are you familiar with the BC method that enables you to detect when you are fertile? It has to do with the type of cervical mucus you are having on any given day. There is a kind that tells you you...

  20. For those of you "hot shots" who didn't think the nursing program was " that hard"...

    Vito Andolini replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    You are sleep-deprived, for starters. You should try to get at least 6 hours q night, if at all possible. From experience, I know that this is a real problem over the long haul. Take one day at a...

  21. Family members and Visitors telling me HOW to do my job!!!

    Vito Andolini replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Of course, a nurse can make a mistake and a family member or patient really can know better than some nurses, docs, et

  22. Family members and Visitors telling me HOW to do my job!!!

    Vito Andolini replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Aw, c'mon, kids. Don't you all recognize anxiety when you see it? These families have been through hell and back with their loved ones. Baptized by fire, in the crucible of nursing homes and...

  23. What should I ask the Board of Nursing?

    Vito Andolini replied to PrisonrNurs's topic in General Nursing

    Keep a low profile and don't make waves. Silence is golden. You do not know the entire story, I'd wager. You only know what other people have said. What would be achieved by being a firebrand at...

  24. Big dilemma please give me some advice!!

    Vito Andolini replied to thongvo89's topic in General Nursing

    You really have no idea what Nursing is about, what it's like. Please start visiting some hospitals and nursing homes, get to know some nurses at outpatient surgery centers, spend time with nurses on...
