  1. Need help fast about working with the board and my addiction.

    southernbeegirl replied to awsdig05's topic in Nurses Recovery

    what is a "perk"??? i'm assuming that is probably percocets? please don't take this wrong, but if you continue to call drugs by their "street" name (hydros, etc) it sounds as if you are not a...

  3. Want to hear your pet peeves in LTC nursing

    southernbeegirl replied to mondkmondk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    i just thought of another peeve! using "scripts" instead of "prescription" and saying/charting "hydro" instead of "hydrocodone". drives me

  4. LTC Job Offer-but can't shadow RN???

    southernbeegirl replied to elprup's topic in General Nursing

    not only HIPAA concerns but also liability concerns for the facility i would think would prevent shadowing. if you are not an employee then you would not fall under their workers comp umbrella,...

  5. suboxone and nursing (why are others so negative about this medication)

    southernbeegirl replied to gmkj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    i think you mixed together my posts and SWS's posts. i'm about to have 6 ys sobriety next month and i take tramadol. i've never taken suboxone but SWS did. i think you just mixed us up is all. i...

  6. suboxone and nursing (why are others so negative about this medication)

    southernbeegirl replied to gmkj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    your entire post was great SWS. but this part of it drove it home. addiction IS a disease, but we make the choice to keep using or to recover....either way, it's up to

  7. suboxone and nursing (why are others so negative about this medication)

    southernbeegirl replied to gmkj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    noone is judging you. we are just trying to share our experiences. noone is trying to tell you that you are "wrong". like i said before, what works for you...works for you. even if it doesnt work...

  8. suboxone and nursing (why are others so negative about this medication)

    southernbeegirl replied to gmkj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm about to be clean and sober for 6yrs (next month). Do i believe addiction is a disease? Yes, with all my heart and soul, with every cell in my body. it's a wicked disease that just wants to...

  9. Recreational THC = now starting IPN!

    southernbeegirl replied to Honest&Hopeful&Hur's topic in Nurses Recovery

    if you take baby steps and just keep doing the next right thing, one day you are going to realize "omg, i'm sober and love it!" very proud of

  10. Recreational THC = now starting IPN!

    southernbeegirl replied to Honest&Hopeful&Hur's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't agree. After my intervention and my subsequent admit to rehab and probation, I personally told every nurse I worked with (i'm the supervisor). I recieved nothing but love from them and still...

  11. suboxone and nursing (why are others so negative about this medication)

    southernbeegirl replied to gmkj's topic in Nurses Recovery

    suboxone, IMO, is just swapping one drug for another. that is NOT recovery. that's stabilized drug

  12. Drug Testing

    southernbeegirl replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    but i would like to add..... if someone tested positive for just pot, i wouldnt mind much either. personally, i think it should be legalized. even if i can't smoke it, I see nothing wrong with...

  13. Drug Testing

    southernbeegirl replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm going to be 6 yrs sober next month. For the first 4 yrs, i was being monitored weekly between my job and the BON. Once I was released from my contract, I had noone to pee for then. I really...

    southernbeegirl replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    I got excited when I saw this thread. I thought "i love to hear the 'old' nurses talking about waybackwhen". i dont know when it happened, but danged if i havent become one of the 'old'

  15. Are you a nurse from a dysfunctional family?

    southernbeegirl replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in General Nursing

  17. Scheduled to work called out due to snow--can I be fired?

    southernbeegirl replied to Wsmith16's topic in General Nursing

    hey! my comments on this thread were about snow in general. thats what i thought the thread was about. obviously since this blizzard is what they call a "100yr storm", you do what you have to do. i...

  18. Scheduled to work called out due to snow--can I be fired?

    southernbeegirl replied to Wsmith16's topic in General Nursing

    on the other hand, if you know you are scheduled to be at work, you should make sure you are there. if that means staying the night before, staying in a nearby motel, whatever, but you know you are...

  19. question about narcotic dispensing

    southernbeegirl replied to kappykatlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    i forgot to add: the reason we can keep them is that you don't go by the order on the narc box/card itself. you always, always go by the order in the chart. so if your order covers you, you are good...

  20. question about narcotic dispensing

    southernbeegirl replied to kappykatlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    no, not necessarily. many times we send a pt to the hospital knowing they will be back. most times they are not "technically" discharged in the system, just out on transfer to the hospital. so if...

  21. Got the job, but Pregnant--Need Advice

    southernbeegirl replied to Millerstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    part of his original post was should she tell the hospital she is pregnant and if she does can they rescind the offer. i realize that we don't have to reveal our health history, family info, etc....

    southernbeegirl replied to Millerstudentnurse's topic in General Nursing

    how trustworthy do you think her employers are going to find her when they find out she hid her pregnancy from them on

  23. staying the night at work due to weather

    southernbeegirl replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    i've stayed at work tons of times over the years. you only get paid for the time you are on the clock. but when it snows big, you usually get quite a bit of overtime. ive always found an empty room...

  24. Want to hear your pet peeves in LTC nursing

    southernbeegirl replied to mondkmondk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    1. repetitive call ins by staff that then are the loudest complainers of having to "work short" when someone else calls in. 2. call in excuses that you KNOW are not truthful just so they can lay out...

  25. Aides who go over your head

    southernbeegirl replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing

    why not assign Hurt to do things like all the VS, ice, feeding, making beds, straightening rooms. i float CNAs on light duty like this and it works for us. the CNAs on the floor have to pick up her...
