  1. Pregant nurse giving methotrexate?

    limonada posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi nurse friends. I need advice. I am a home health nurse and I am pregnant. A patient that I see regularly recently started methotrexate injections. The patient has multiple disabilities and is...

  2. Is it unprofessional to inform my boss of my pregnancy over the phone?

    limonada posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work overnight and almost never see my manager-usually only a couple of times a year. Our schedules just don't overlap, so I really only see him at meetings. I haven't told anyone yet that I'm...

  3. Depressed and Disappointed in Myself

    limonada replied to Samx3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    At my first job out of nursing school, I felt exactly the same way you do. And I really beat myself up over it. I had done really well in school (straight A's) and planned to work in med/surg for at...

  4. Is this sneaky?

    limonada replied to sbostonRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't think it is sneaky at all! I have seen managers that are RNs but have bachelor's or master's degrees in other fields, but in emails from them and on the sign on their office door they have...

  5. How often do you get called and asked to work on days off?

    limonada posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just curious. This happens to me a lot and it's pretty annoying. It has been happening to me several times a week. I usually say no. Just last week I was away for the weekend and I told them that...

  6. Should I stay or should I go? I don't know.

    limonada replied to newSN's topic in General Nursing

    Long distance relationships can be very difficult, no matter how stable the relationship is now. I personally would not want to live away from my husband for two years, especially when just starting...

  7. Given another patient's medication to satisfy MAR.What do you do? Orientee

    limonada replied to rn_nxt_dr's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    We don't have an e-kit. And I have seen people "borrow" narcs too. I think my original thought when I first came across this situation was to circle it on the MAR, but I have worked here for less...

  8. Given another patient's medication to satisfy MAR.What do you do? Orientee

    limonada replied to rn_nxt_dr's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I don't want to sound dumb, but I'm confused. I understand what everyone is saying here, but I have also seen this happen in my facility. I always order meds in advance but not everyone does. There...

  9. Possible termination for HIPAA violations

    limonada replied to Magnolia619's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I agree with bookwormom...To the OP-were you looking at information of various patients throughout the hospital, or just on your own unit? I know they say that you are only allowed to see the...

  10. Nurse to client ratios

    limonada replied to cd1229's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Seems unrealistic to me. At my facility, each residence has anywhere from eight to fifteen residents, and 24 hour nursing. There is always a staff nurse (RN or LPN) in the residence to give meds,...

    Thank you so much to everyone who responded! I really appreciate it....Just wanted to let you know though, I quit today. :-\ I felt really bad doing it, but I figured better to do it now than when...

  14. New Grad RN, and I don't like it!

    limonada replied to Evalina's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well I am very glad to hear you are doing well! But how long did you stay at that job and what exactly are you doing

  15. Am I alone?

    limonada replied to 1uvakindmom's topic in First Year After Licensure

    NO you are not alone!! I feel the same way...I think it is probably just because we are new...I am always second guessing myself. Even though I did really really well in school, when I am actually at...

  18. I was wondering if some of you nursing students can answer my questions.

    limonada replied to TCLA's topic in General Students

    If I were you I would find the nearest school with a nursing program and go talk to the director. That's what I did, because I was unsure if I wanted to be a nurse or not. Nurses do not have to know...

  22. what experiences have you had in the nursing atmosphere before starting school?

    limonada replied to WhiteShadows23's topic in General Students

    I had always thought about being a nurse since high school, but didn't think I could handle the responsibility, so I ended up getting my BA in psychology. While working on that degree, even though I...
