  1. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Gomer - the conversation went more like this: My appt. with the Dr. is going to take a little longer than I expected. Boss: why? Me: My TB test was positive and they need to do a chest x-ray to make...

  2. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Booter- that's hilarious. He really would have a nervous breakdown (probably make EVERYONE get tested!). You know... there is a guy in the office who's been hacking his lungs out for about 2 weeks.......

  3. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I figure that the physician giving the information will be a more credible source than any research I do. I talked to my boss about it and he said he wasn't trying to singleme out or embarass...

  4. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Quitting probably wouldn't be the smartest move for me to make right now, but if I could, I'd be out the door in a heartbeat. My thing is, we would all probably test positive for lots of scary...

  5. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I wasn't planning on being at the meeting. I just feel so...embarassed and depressed about the whole thing. I really don't want to sit there for an hour with everyone feeling uncomfotable with...

  6. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Haha that's great. I'll have to try that! To all of those who are warning about abuse: Trust me, he isn't abusive, isn't going to be abusive. He's a very gentle person. Everyone has things that bug...

  7. positive drug test help

    DA314 replied to puppielove's topic in General Nursing

    You take medication for a chronic condition. Your doctor prescribed this medication to be used whenever you have a panic attack. That is different than taking a pain med. It doesn't seem like the OP...

  8. positive drug test help

    DA314 replied to puppielove's topic in General Nursing

    This is how addictions start. I have had pain pills for pain after surgery, but did not save them for severe pain when I had a migraine or broken bone. Plus, if she no longer has the bottle, the meds...

  9. husbands that won't help

    DA314 replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    My husband is clueless when it comes to knowing what needs to get done around the house. For the first 2 years of our marriage it was a constant arguement between us. We have come up with a solution....

  10. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why he wouldn't trust me, I've never given him a reason not to. I really don't think it is a religious thing either. He just thinks it is weird that I will be in contact with other mens'...

  11. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    DA314 replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    In opinion, nobody should smoke cigarrettes, especially where young children can see it. It is a very unhealthy habit, and most people who smoke would agree that it is a bad habit, however, it is not...

  12. positive drug test help

    DA314 replied to puppielove's topic in General Nursing

    Taking prescription drugs for a purpose other than it was prescribed for is illegal. If you were in severe pain, you should have seen your doctor. I don't know how much trouble you'll get into, but...

  13. I really want to be a nurse, but......?

    DA314 replied to futurenurse1710's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet, but I have hadn many different types of jobs. I've worked retail (inlcuding Wal-Mart), I've been a photographer, a waitress, a customer service clerk, a hotel desk clerk, a...

  14. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    DA314 replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and btw, when you buy a case of wine or beer or whatever, you can probably be assured of what is in it. There are regulations in place to make sure your wine is not laced with lsd. There are not...

  15. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    DA314 replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    Which Is why I don't do either. I don't want to be impaired, my life is just fine without chemicals to warp it. However, if you drink a glass of wine with dinner, it is not illegal. Smoking pot is. I...

  16. Life in a nursing home, from the inside - LONG

    DA314 replied to KEK1984's topic in General Nursing

    I'm new to healthcare (currently taking CNA class, then hopefully off to LPN school in Jan). This broke my heart. I am more than likely going to be working in LTC, and I hope that I remember this...

  17. How do I get experience w/o experience?

    DA314 replied to missingunc's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you could take a CNA class, then get your foot in the door as a CNA. I know where I live, Medicaid requires you to have 75 hours of instructions (including 16 hours of clinicals). You could find...

  18. Foot Detox

    DA314 replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    I've read some where that those foot pads are coated with a powder that turns grayish black when wet. You put the dry pads on your feet, your feet sweat, you wake up with black foot pads. Sounds like...

  19. Husband uncomfortable with my job!

    DA314 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to all who are concerned for my safety, buy let me ease your minds, my husband is in no way an abusive or controlling man. We have lived together 5 years, been married 3. He has never even come...

  20. Opinions: Best scrubs?

    DA314 replied to raebabelvn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love my Grey's Anatomy brand scrubs. They're so soft and figure flattering! They are by far the softest scrubs I could find. ----I felt a little embarrassed getting that brand, kinda like a kid...

  21. CNA vs Medical Assistant

    DA314 replied to smellyacres's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    KY Dreamer- are you by any chance taking the CNA class at the BCTCS leestown campus? I only ask because the day/time/# of weeks is exactly what I'm taking

  22. Unprofessional Nurse

    DA314 replied to Katy-NursingStudent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't think the government can come after you for your parents' expenses, just as they couldn't come after a parent for their adult child's expenses. However, when the parent passes away, I wouldn't...

  23. Anyone Taking the CNA class at Bluegrass this fall?

    DA314 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm taking the NAA 100 class at Bluegrass (leestown campus) and was wondering if anyone else out there is taking it this semester? Maybe we could help each other throughout the semester. I don't...

  24. Any other nurses here with some form of MI?

    DA314 replied to mondkmondk's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    You might try posting this in the Nurses with Disabilities Forum. They may have similar

  25. Doctors and Nurses need to band together against out of touch regulatory overkill

    DA314 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if it has been said, but all these regulations seem to be in place to prevent a lawsuit. I'm not a nurse (yet), but I do work in a lawyer's office. The biggest rule here is document...
