    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm currently in MEDSurg III and no matter how much I read, study, and practice questions I still feel like I'm not retaining the info. This makes me not want to do anything. I got burnt out from peds...

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Nursing

  6. Which one would you pick?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    You are number which means that you have to do what is best for you. If NICU is overwhelming and will stress you out then don't take the position. While NICU will be great clinical experience it is...

  7. Appalled at LTC standards of nursing care

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    To answer that question you asked in bold... the answer is no. LPNS are NOT educated to have a less degree to thouroughness. I think each individual nurse should be responsible for his or her actions....

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Nursing

  9. morphine sulfate given even though has an "allergy" listed in chart

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I cared for the patient at one point then was put on another unit. Thus , while he was actively dying I was never the patients' nurse. I never took care of the patient was the order was on file. Hope...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks and this is so true ! Once again I DID NOT TAKE CARE OF THIS PT. AT ALL. so when you say " you" that is incorrect. One of my coworkers took care of this pt. on her unit not me ! Just wanted to...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Well said I agree 100 percent which was why I was so shocked no one looked into this. Once again I DID NOT care for this patient so obviously I'm not at fault. I know the situation d/t another nurse...

  15. immature nursing students

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to bananabubbletea's topic in General Students

    Um I'm a little offended by this statement: 21yo's are notoriously immature, it's not really a surprise. It's also difficult to read people's tone of voice over the internet - maybe he/she didn't...

  16. Does an employer have to have staff phone numbers?

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I don't about any legalities of not giving your number however I prefer if my job have my number. If I made a med error or any other mistake and they have a question about a patient I would want to...

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to cherryblossom88's topic in General Nursing

    I have had to send a CNA home due to effects of loratab or just feeling ill. No biggie. What is the point of working if you are mentally impaired, injured, or

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to murseNtraining's topic in General Students

    This is appalling !!! This is a HIPAA violation. I take Ativan and I felt the need to tell my school because of drug testing. Our administrator told us that the school does NOT need that information...

  19. Morphine and End Of Life

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to MelissaLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So I read all the posts and I see that the nurses are 50/50 on this one. I think some people are missing the point. The patient is UNRESPONSIVE and ACTIVELY dying. I've had patients like this and I...

  20. Morphine and End Of Life

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to MelissaLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Students

  23. When to call the doctor

    NurseLoveJoy88 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My rule for when to call the MD has always been "when in doubt call the MD". However, every once in a while I go back in forth with myself whether or not to call. Today was one of the days. I work in...

  24. Grade Appeals

    NurseLoveJoy88 replied to frustrated SN's topic in General Students

    At my cc they do not round. We need a 75 to pass. If someone gets a 74.9999 they fail the course. If your school does round then I would fight for it. As others stated make sure you have your...
