ADN's being pushed out

redhead_NURSE98! replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

"Many?" She mentioned one that does this. My ASN program had more clinical hours than the BSN program from the same college, and our NCLEX pass rate was better. Sad but it seems it's school by
Do nurses have a responsibility to keep their Facebook professional?

redhead_NURSE98! replied to Bortaz's topic in Nursing Professionalism

Uhh unless I drive for my job, why is this my employer's concern? I agree people who drive drunk are imbeciles but it has nothing to do with whether one can scrape oneself out of bed on Monday and...
HIPPA is a joke.

redhead_NURSE98! replied to rickbar's topic in HIPAA Challenges

My point was that when you apply for a job they don't say "Oh well it's going to cost you $800 a month to insure redhead_nurse98! so I'm not going to hire
Ok this may be a rant but....

How would deal with these type of CNAs?

redhead_NURSE98! replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

"Prissy?" LMAO Know what? My boss rubs me the wrong way. Know what I do about it? I deal with it or get another job. Because she has been designated as the person who reminds me of my job...
How would deal with these type of CNAs?

redhead_NURSE98! replied to Born_2BRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

I have encountered techs that basically have the attitude that "I've been here way longer than you, I'll still be here when you're gone so I'm just going to put you at the bottom of the priority line...
HIPPA is a joke.

redhead_NURSE98! replied to rickbar's topic in HIPAA Challenges

I'd be interested to know where you got your education on this exhaustive piece of federal legislation. HIPAA is not a joke. All anyone ever had to do to avoid exclusion of a pre-existing condition...
Medicine Reconstitution, HELP!

redhead_NURSE98! replied to doityourself's topic in General Students

Who came up with this question? I would overthink that one because I have never seen powder measured in mL's. The vial usually says to reconstitute with a certain amount of sterile water or
Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

redhead_NURSE98! replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

Welll, it was more of a joke than anything, but since you brought it up - I didn't have kids, and I'm not responsible for anyone else's unless they're wearing an arm band with a bar code on
Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

redhead_NURSE98! replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

It used to happen to me more often when I was younger; I am in the upper land of the 30's now and have been married over 10 years. I think the idiots surrounding me have figured out that I don't have...
Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

redhead_NURSE98! replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

No offense, I don't know you, lol. Love the hyperbole. I'm personally under the impression that some people think their time is more valuable and/or they should be able to do whatever they want...
Shift-to-shift report in front of patient and family

redhead_NURSE98! replied to Piglet08's topic in Patient Safety Issues

And the patient inserts him/herself into the report, adding irrelevant information, asking (mostly) unnecessary questions, questioning their own medical history that THEY provided when admitted, etc....
CNAs no longer doing vitals on our floor

redhead_NURSE98! replied to new_grad_RN's topic in General Nursing

Oh but then it looks like you're "too good" to take vitals or do toileting!!! When in reality you have things to do that you cannot delegate to a CNA. A coworker went to one of our patient care techs...
Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

redhead_NURSE98! replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

We work every other "holiday," in other words I have to work Christmas Eve and New Year's Day this season. I'm gonna trade Christmas Eve for New Year's Eve, then I'll have all of New Year's off, and...
Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

redhead_NURSE98! replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

Well as a person who has no kids by choice I agree, I don't like being treated like I should be at their beck and call to do anything because I don't "have anyone at home." Same thing with weekends...
Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

redhead_NURSE98! replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

Well I mean, suff happens, let's say I don't have kids but I have a mother in a wheelchair at home; I'd do the best I could to show up and make arrangements for mom, but if I can't then I can't, and...
How do you deal with passive aggression in nursing?

Stopping patient care for another patient

redhead_NURSE98! replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

I am amused by how much you've read into my comments, while on the other hand, no one is allowed to dispute your EXACT WORDS about priorities. Look, sorry you said something you didn't mean. Be more...

What is the point of becoming a nurse?!

redhead_NURSE98! replied to newRN121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

What is the point of becoming a ___________ if you can't get a job and make a living for yourself? You could ask that question about any number of jobs out there. The only difference is that nursing...

Stopping patient care for another patient

redhead_NURSE98! replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

Actually you said "Pain control is NUMBER ONE of all nursing priorities." That is why everyone is expressing that they think you are one off. If that's not what you meant, sorry but that's what you...
