  1. Nurse lied on me, now i may lose my license....scared...

    Vito Andolini replied to Nursechristi22's topic in General Nursing

    Start using some of the sick time you're going to lose anyway. You really don't need to be going in there any more, do you? Clean out your locker now. Your criminal coworker needs to be reported....

  2. What to do? Aides doing the work of nurses?

    Vito Andolini replied to SDALPN's topic in General Nursing

    You need to report this facility to your state's facility licensing Board. It might be Health Dept., Senior Services, something like that. Check with your state Congress Representatives and Senators...

  3. Critical nursing mass

    Vito Andolini replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    How can anyone possibly answer such a Q with other than speculation? Why do you ask? I think we'd have to function as best we could, just muddle through. SNAFU, you know? Just like normal,

  4. 1st patient that died

    Vito Andolini replied to valsquek's topic in General Nursing

    First, do NOT EVER say anything negative about doctors. You will very quickly find yourself out of work, blacklisted, dead in the water. If asked why doctors did this or that, did not do something,...

  5. Interview a Nurse

    Vito Andolini replied to mandy93088's topic in General Nursing

    people who od are not idiots. they are sick, they are in pain, their anguish is severe, they are god's children (presumably your brethren), and they are in need of care, just like any other of your...

  7. Cussed out and disprespected by CNA

    Vito Andolini replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    I did not say CNA's are stupid. Nor did I say that you don't know how hard a nurse's job is. I said that a licensed nurse has concerns that unlicensed personnel do not have. That is because we...

  8. Cussed out and disprespected by CNA

    Vito Andolini replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    As in so many areas of life, there really are no friends at work. That is, how many people do you know who will take a fall for you, stand by you no matter what, to their own detriment? I don't know...

  9. Can any community health nurses help me by answering 3 interview questions?

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

    A quick thought - are there any local nurses you can talk to directly? Might be better, quicker. When I was a PHN long ago, I had a language barrier - had to get interpreters. Challenging because I...

  11. Need advise on how much to charge

    Vito Andolini replied to NodaMegumi's topic in General Nursing

    You are astute enough to believe you're being offered too little. Do the above suggested research and make a decision from that. good

  12. Cussed out and disprespected by CNA

    Vito Andolini replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    when truly sick, when truly one does have a very good attendance record and one truly does give one's best 99% of the time, it does set poorly to hear the recipient of the call-off tell one how hard...

  13. order inserted into chart

    Vito Andolini replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    What was the upshot of this really bad boo boo? Have you ever seen a doctor go back and alter his or her orders after a nurse has already signed them off? Imagine the repercussions that could

  14. Doctor's Fiancee yelled at me

    Vito Andolini replied to QTpie86's topic in General Nursing

    I used to think as you do, that I owed it to others to "correct" someone, it would be ok if I did it with the right heart and approach. I have since learned that some people just do NOT like being...

  15. Doctor's Fiancee yelled at me

    Vito Andolini replied to QTpie86's topic in General Nursing

    He needs to know but NOT FROM THE OP. Let him find out some other way. OP owes him nothing and all that will come from her criticizing the fiance, however gently, is a possibly angry reaction and...

  16. Doctor's Fiancee yelled at me

    Vito Andolini replied to QTpie86's topic in General Nursing

    Amazing that he has no pager in this day and age. I would just say he's with a patient and tell her to try calling again in a short while. Apologize for not having time to take a message but you...

  17. Error and Attitude

    Vito Andolini replied to iluvicu's topic in General Nursing

  18. new nurse in LTC

    Vito Andolini replied to horsehobby's topic in General Nursing

    Did you make it clear before hire that you needed a certain day off? If not, try to arrange that now, but doing it before hire and getting it in writing would have been the right way to do this....

  20. Tired of reading this.....

    Vito Andolini replied to topher-67's topic in General Nursing

    Being old and ugly doesn't help. After all, nothing beats "new". And who can really say what goes through the minds of hiring persons? Being male is a plus, I think, as men are viewed as being...

  21. Teacher who would like to shift to nursing profession

    Vito Andolini replied to prof_hannah's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you are getting lots of varied answers. Here's my take. You will not enjoy working Thanksgiving, Christmas, July 4th, all the other holidays that you now have off. You will dislike getting maybe...

  22. I question this (VENT)

    Vito Andolini replied to Reigen's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I couldn't agree more with all that you said. It is so typical an example of airheaded management. Sadly, these are abundant in our line of work, it seems. No, we don't hold the exclusive patent,...

  24. Disgusting Nurses!! SICK of my status as a CNA

    Vito Andolini replied to carlasbizz's topic in General Nursing

    Better to know now than later what you would really be getting into. I think you got blamed unfairly, I think the nurses acted goofily, inappropriately, according to what you said. Please don't be...

  25. First patient complaint ever. Frustrated.

    Vito Andolini replied to 3dogs1cat's topic in Emergency

    Yeah, but why should her boss dump her like that? Why should she suffer for being a good nurse trying to help the patient? Why are bosses such troublemakers sometimes? Why don't they back up their...
