  1. Please help! What would you do?

    Vito Andolini replied to kemkem's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should google the net for resume help. Or go to a library and look at their books on resume writing. Just a thought - I would state my name, address, phone, email, RN license # and state,...

  2. family plans on suing hospital, i'm nervous as hell.

    Vito Andolini replied to Wheaties's topic in General Nursing

    Always be scared of ANY lawyer, even possibly the one you hire to represent and protect YOU. Why? Your attorney might not know what he or she is doing, could miss filing deadlines, could have his...

  3. Problem with Care Assistant.

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

    It never once occurred to me that you might be lying. I guess you think that I think you might be lying because I said it seemed like a lot to have seen in just 2 shifts. Is that it? Assuming it was...

  4. Problem with Care Assistant.

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

    My first reaction was to say you should get a different job. I also wondered if you saw all of this on just 2 shifts. No matter, though, really. I think you are probably right that the manager uses...

  5. Nursing Staff Pictures. .. . .

    Vito Andolini replied to SmileyGirl210's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want my picture hanging up or any private info made known on a bulletin board, even if in "employee only" area. Sorry I can't

  6. day 6 start of week 3 as a new rn and i was about to quit!!!!!!!!!!

    Vito Andolini replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    Bottom line - the patient was fine. She self-medicated. You have a lousy situation, getting switched between a horrible preceptor and a decent one who should run a little more interference for you,...

  7. ER Experience

    Vito Andolini replied to tishirajan's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should write to the nurse herself. Discuss things like the Golden Rule (do to others as you want them to do to you). Tell her how her anger and her cruel words really added to your...

  8. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    Vito Andolini replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Would you rather be humiliated but grateful and clean or oblivious and stinky and talked about behind your back? Sometimes, we do feel humiliated but we can correct the problem and move on. Yes, I...

  9. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    Vito Andolini replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    What do you think was the reason for the trouble existing to begin with? Also, what do you think was the cause for it not being corrected fully? Was the person angry, embarrassed, hurt, offended or...

  10. How do you tell someone they smell bad?

    Vito Andolini replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the best way to deal with this is directly. In a very nice way, just tell the young lady that you do not wish to embarrass her or hurt her feelings in any way, shape, or form but that you...

  11. What are the top 5 ethical dilemmas faced by nurses?

    Vito Andolini replied to sorchgorch's topic in General Nursing

    i know nothing about australian

  12. What are the top 5 ethical dilemmas faced by nurses?

    Vito Andolini replied to sorchgorch's topic in General Nursing

    That's the time to just stand one's ground, in a quiet way, reminding her nicely and respectfully that he did not want "something" done, or to do a slow code. You can't blame the wife, who apparently...

  13. What are the top 5 ethical dilemmas faced by nurses?

    Vito Andolini replied to sorchgorch's topic in General Nursing

    And? What's the end of this

  14. What are the top 5 ethical dilemmas faced by nurses?

    Vito Andolini replied to sorchgorch's topic in General Nursing

    Does your boss benefit financially for referring

  15. What are the top 5 ethical dilemmas faced by nurses?

    Vito Andolini replied to sorchgorch's topic in General Nursing

    How about 89? 79? 69? 09? 9 months? First off, age is not necessarily the deciding factor. Diagnosis isn't either. It is more a matter of what the patient wants and what the family wants. As for...

  16. As an Lpn Can I work for a Plastic surgeon and perfom non-surgical procedures???

    Vito Andolini replied to SabrinaLpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    OK, let's start at the start. First, I'm very happy that you know what you want to do. Even if you change your mind later, you have a definite goal now. You are lucky in that regard. Next, I think...

    Vito Andolini replied to blondeoverboard's topic in General Nursing

    She sounds psycho. Take the above advice, all of it, about witnesses, etc. Go to boss for a moderaed neetng,

  18. Confused & don't know what to do

    Vito Andolini replied to putmetosleep's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Often there is a let-down feeling after achieving something big. You have achieved getting into CRNA school. That's very big. You are also feeling understandably scared and nervous about the...

  19. Tell me if this is the norm in your er!

    Vito Andolini replied to missnurse01's topic in Emergency

    Maybe the laws vary by state. Medics suture in combat. Some places, RN's sew episiotomies, don't they? Unlicensed personnel give meds, I guess they can suture, too, with proper training. Not saying...

  20. Where do I begin?

    Vito Andolini replied to Meg88's topic in General Nursing

    The reason you're choosing Nursing is because of your friend. I'd say this - try to be absolutely certain that you really want to be a Nurse. Try doing volunteer work for a while in hospitals and...

  21. WORRIED ABOUT PT

    Vito Andolini replied to CTMMaine's topic in General Nursing

    I'm super impressed. Realizing how long it is since I worked M/S and how I never mastered Resp. God, you guys are good!

    Vito Andolini replied to bluesnurse's topic in General Nursing

    do it, do it right

  23. Talking to patients about the health care debate

    Vito Andolini replied to bluesnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why unwise to speak the truth? Why are all of you reluctant to speak the truth to your

  24. Situation about PRN lorazepam

    Vito Andolini replied to nminodob's topic in General Nursing

    I think she should talk to the traveler - share her impressions and concerns and get some answers from her. Depending on what the response is, she can go from there. Did the traveler give the med to...

  25. Change of shift calls to MD. Who should take the call?

    Vito Andolini replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It would be up to the Charge Nurse to enforce it where I work. And they are not about to enforce it. Our facility is way too laid back for CN's to enforce it against those who run the place anyway...
