  1. IV Flagyl

    cherrybreeze replied to NurseRackett's topic in Medical-Surgical

    If you've pulled it out of the fridge, I'm guessing someone put it in there mistakenly. I've seen that happen; our HUCs unload the dummy and will put any piggyback in the fridge, regardless of the...

  2. Transfusing blood

    cherrybreeze replied to Grasshopper11's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm sorry, your initial post and subsequent responses really show a lack of knowledge. IF there were bacteria in the line (despite opening a sterile package and maintaining those...

  3. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    cherrybreeze replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone expected "puppies, unicorns, and rainbows" on his FB page (I know I didn't). I think it is/was a desire to get a better idea of the author as a person, to see if HE had made any...

  4. Pre employment urine drug screen for nursing home, will they test for alcohol?

    cherrybreeze replied to RN_jobhunting's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    rn/writer, you said it better than I ever could. I first answered wanting to try to be at least reassuring (even though I've stated all along WE can't answer for them). Now...yup, irritated. We...

  5. Mandated Flu vaccine?

    cherrybreeze replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are you correlating the

  6. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    cherrybreeze replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

    That's the scary part, though....he IS a nursing student. I agree with you. On the blogs and comments that I've come across, I haven't seen this trend so much (luckily). I've seen a lot of men...

  7. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    cherrybreeze replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen several comments in different places saying he has now "privatized" his Facebook profile....not sure where they're getting that? I can still see it in all it's full "glory." I need to...

  8. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    cherrybreeze replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate the info. I can understand if he would be suspended, or whatnot, for violating the code of ethics for his school. That makes sense to me. Having an instructor fail him for a class...

  9. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    cherrybreeze replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

    There are several comments to the article, saying things like, "I hope the BON in your state gets wind of this, you'll never get a license to practice," "I hope your nursing instructors retroactively...

  10. How well does misogyny work out in your facility?

    cherrybreeze replied to UserG's topic in General Nursing

    I'm reading things that say it's referenced in the article; that I don't see. But yes, his FB page mentions med/surge [sic], gerontology, clinicals, etc. Oy. Too much to say on this, probably...

  11. Have any of you ever lost a patient?

    cherrybreeze replied to Nurse Mami's topic in General Nursing

    One incident sticks out firmly in my mind. It was YEARS ago, when I worked at a NH, but it was unreal. This gentleman had dementia. He also had mobility issues; we needed to use a sit-to-stand to...

  12. Pre employment urine drug screen for nursing home, will they test for alcohol?

    cherrybreeze replied to RN_jobhunting's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    *sighs* If that's ALL you have to say after the many posts here, then all I'll say is this: Stop obsessing. You'll find out when you find out. How the heck would I

  13. Pre employment urine drug screen for nursing home, will they test for alcohol?

    cherrybreeze replied to RN_jobhunting's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Anything you post on a public forum is open to judgement and interpretation. That's the risk you take in posting anything. Judgement is HUMAN NATURE, and IMO, anyone who claims to not be judgmental...

  14. Worst potential employer experience ever!!!! Was it ok to call HR and say no thanks?

    cherrybreeze replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, but this was not just a vent thread. The OP was asking if what they did was okay. Feedback is being given. Not everyone is going to think the same way about it, and there's nothing wrong with...

  15. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

    cherrybreeze replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

    Could you elaborate on how you came to this example as the next logical step? Seeing as it has nothing to do with contagious, infectious disease and protecting the health and lives of our

  16. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

    cherrybreeze replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

    It IS your "right" and "choice" if you want it in your body or not....and, it is your "right" and "choice" if not being vaccinated is more important than keeping your job. You don't want the vaccine,...

  17. Do you have to list a former employer that you got fired from?

    cherrybreeze replied to ilove's topic in General Nursing

    You really should list it, especially if you worked there for years. Not listing it is obviously trying to cover something up, and that reflects more poorly on you than having been

  18. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

    cherrybreeze replied to hagler2011's topic in General Nursing

    FORCE it into your body? You don't have to work where you work. Nobody is tying you down and coming at you with a needle. I'm sorry, this is absolutely ridiculous. Unless you practice that same...

  19. Bad Experience with Nurses at hospital, rethinking my major now.

    cherrybreeze replied to Lindsey-Student's topic in General Nursing

    i am not saying all of this to make light of what you went through. my heart goes out to you, dealing with an assault at the hands of someone you believed to be your friend. i'm just trying to give...

  20. I can't believe co-worker took my venting complaints to boss!

    cherrybreeze replied to lifein08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been guilty of venting (including about coworkers), I'm no angel. I've also said, at the time (and I believe it now): I'm not naive enough to think that nothing is said about ME when I"m not...

  21. Do you think nursing would be more advanced as a profression if...

    cherrybreeze replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I think the amount of respect (or lack thereof) in nursing has less to do with the profession being female-dominated and more to do with the fact that laypeople just really don't understand what RN's...

  22. Do you think nursing would be more advanced as a profression if...

    cherrybreeze replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    This wasn't BECAUSE he was a man, though....a woman is just as capable of diverting. This has nothing to do with gender. However, many RN positions simply do not require a Master's education. It...

  23. I can't believe co-worker took my venting complaints to boss!

    cherrybreeze replied to lifein08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Um...what? How completely and utterly inappropriate. I don't think venting about coworkers (which you KNOW means it wasn't good) falls under "talking about working conditions." If you make...

  24. Is it possible for a doctor to be as personal with patients as nurses are?

    cherrybreeze replied to redeemed77's topic in General Nursing

    Of course it's

  25. is the grass greener?

    cherrybreeze replied to roxie144's topic in General Nursing

    one of my favorite sayings goes like this (and i have found it especially true in regards to places of employment for nurses): "the grass isn't always greener....it's just another patch of
