  1. Would nurses be interested in this business idea?

    blondy2061h replied to hallebban's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I would have to be making $100 to make it with leaving my house on a day

  2. What do you think about this psychiatrist?

    blondy2061h replied to vaspap's topic in General Nursing

    Without actually knowing the patient none of us could possibly make a judgement call on this patient. If you aren't happy with this psychiatrist's recommendations you can always get another opinion...

  3. Help! Tattoo and Nursing School

    blondy2061h replied to ds192's topic in General Nursing

    Before you stress about it, see if anyone even says anything. I kind of doubt small crosses are the kind of tattoos that prompted that

  4. Pressors in Surgery Center?!

    blondy2061h replied to Jen04 nurse's topic in General Nursing

    A place that is technically a hospital can't just call 911. They need a more formal arrangement in place. I'm not sure if you're part of a bigger system and your providers can admit at more equipped...

  5. Pressors in Surgery Center?!

    blondy2061h replied to Jen04 nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should have the training to start pressors, obviously with the providers in close proximity. It's scarier not to be able to start them when you need to than to start them. Since you don't...

  6. Trouble for taking Doctors candy

    blondy2061h replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    Is this real?! What in the actual

  7. Service Dogs Allowed in ISO?

    blondy2061h replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, all the laws about service dogs being allowed entry anywhere, not needing any specific certification or registration, and not needing a vest were all originally meant to help legitimate service...

  8. Service Dogs Allowed in ISO?

    blondy2061h replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    2 service dogs? I smell

  9. Work From Home: Utilization Review

    blondy2061h replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I would think this would be a difficult transition for many nurses as it would feel like putting money above patient care in some cases. Obviously the more expensive option is not the best in a lot of...

  10. HIPPA violation if the patient isn't in your facility?

    blondy2061h replied to MoonlightRose's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    No. A jerk move but that's it. HIPAA only applies to information you obtained due to your unique situation as a healthcare

  11. Manager Insists....

    blondy2061h replied to alaskaman's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's unreasonable to expect someone to stay for the entirety of their shift. Shift change is a big risk time for falls at my facility. If day shift is there til 7:30 that could give...

  12. What is harder- nursing school or first year working?

    blondy2061h replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    Working, though getting a paycheck instead of paying for the experience was

  13. Discharging by Wheelchair

    blondy2061h replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    We don't discharge walkie-talkie patients in wheelchairs and the last time I was hospitalized they let me walk out on my own when I was discharged, carrying my bag and all, then drive myself

  14. Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    blondy2061h replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked with nurses that have spent 2+ hours a shift pumping- for 18 months. It's great to allow mother's time to provide breast milk for their kids. It's not so great to strain the rest of the...

  15. This person outranks me?!

    blondy2061h replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    I would think if you are testing for TB, there's either going to be TB in the sample or not. As long as there's enough sputum, having some gastric content mixed in won't kill the TB, or we could have...

  16. This person outranks me?!

    blondy2061h replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    I became a supervisor at a fairly young age. I had nearly 10 years of nursing experience, a specialty certification, and a master's in nursing. I was qualified for the position. What I didn't have was...

  17. What Else Can I Do For A Living?

    blondy2061h replied to RNCM123's topic in Nursing Career

    I think I might be beginning to see where your difficulties

  18. Nervous about surgery

    blondy2061h replied to TNnurse01's topic in General Nursing

    I've been lucky on the avoiding surgery front, but I will say I don't think being nurses exempts up from the anxiety associated with procedures. In some cases, I think it might make it worse. Make...

  19. Hung my own blood! :-)

    blondy2061h replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked blood and marrow it always wanted to try and figure out which of my patients were likely to need transfusions in the coming days then go and direct donate to them. I traveled too much...

  20. Hospital Ad Campaigns

    blondy2061h replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I listen to Pandora whenever I'm in the car and for probably an hour plus a shift at work while doing paperwork. $4.99 a month. C'mon. You're worth

  21. Many nurses do not chart?

    blondy2061h replied to Guest716906's topic in General Nursing

    This. When I was a floor nurse I did my check box flowsheets accurately and in real time. I wrote a narrative to document calling a provider about something. Our assessment flowsheet had a section...

  22. What is your opinion on calling in "sick"

    blondy2061h replied to Goofaroo's topic in General Nursing

    I can honestly say I've never done it, but the hospital I work at has sane ratios and the floor I was on had supportive

  23. Medication Error

    blondy2061h replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    Provided they're not allergic to Tdap, at least you're learning these lessons on a fairly harmless

  24. What do you think of 12 hour shifts

    blondy2061h replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Nights are fine if you're able to get your shifts in a row, but if you're on every other night it can quickly become all consuming because you truly are there some of every day. You get...

  25. Coworker wanted to trade shifts

    blondy2061h replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    I had a coworker once who scored tickets to some show on New Years Eve. She actually did pay someone some significant sum of cash to take her
