  1. To the RN I just had hospital orientation with today....

    cherrybreeze replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, oh, how

  2. Co-worker selling her own prescription meds!

    cherrybreeze replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I can totally understand that feeling, but her telling you and you now having knowledge of this particular situation doesn't lend you any sort of responsiblity towards it. The incident she told you...

  3. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    cherrybreeze replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    Do you really think

  4. Co-worker selling her own prescription meds!

    cherrybreeze replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    She probably knows it's illegal. Don't underestimate that. It sounds like an isolated incident, I would probably turn the other cheek at this point. I don't get the impression, at least from your...

  5. To the RN I just had hospital orientation with today....

    cherrybreeze replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Nursing

    To assume that she meant them? I don't think that's a reach. If she DIDN'T mean them, what would be the point of saying them? Aside from that, on the off-chance that she really didn't mean them,...

  6. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    cherrybreeze replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this. Thank

  7. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    cherrybreeze replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    The theme I got from your original post, and this one as well, is about being able to understand why it upsets licensed nurses when people toss the term around and use it fraudulently. What I was...

  8. Whyyyyy? Rant from a Lab Tech

    cherrybreeze replied to raianne's topic in General Nursing

    We often ask for PICCS....it doesn't mean we get them. Wish I was in charge of the

  9. Please help with case study for Nursing School

    cherrybreeze replied to Ireynolds87's topic in General Students

    I agree, it is a silly question. But not our silly question to answer.

  10. Please help with case study for Nursing School

    cherrybreeze replied to Ireynolds87's topic in General Students

    Honestly, not to be harsh, but that makes it WORSE to be asking, not better! The POINT is that it's difficult to answer; the persons awarding the scholarship want to know those who they award...

  11. Whyyyyy? Rant from a Lab Tech

    cherrybreeze replied to raianne's topic in General Nursing

    how is a trough drawn 2 hours before the dose is due considered accurate? i am honestly curious, is all. any info i can find recommends drawing a trough right before a dose is due....i would think,...

  12. help from fans of FRIENDS!

    cherrybreeze replied to sunkissed75's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any examples, but this sounds like a fun paper. :) I'd love to do one on

  13. You'd understand, right?

    cherrybreeze replied to nebrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, often they do still recommend Paps, even in total hysts, especially if done for cancer. My mom and sis are both post-hyst and have Paps. However, what bugs my sister is the question, "any chance...

  14. Whyyyyy? Rant from a Lab Tech

    cherrybreeze replied to raianne's topic in General Nursing

    i dont' think it's necessarily that narrow of a window....that's just our protocol, i guess, that troughs are put in for 15 minutes before the med is scheduled. i am not sure how else you would...

  15. Whyyyyy? Rant from a Lab Tech

    cherrybreeze replied to raianne's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to pick apart a vent, so I apologize for that, but I do have a couple of questions (maybe they'll help in the future?). I know you may not know the answers to some of these, but...why...

  16. Caring nurse turned Raging *****

    cherrybreeze replied to Lola77's topic in General Nursing

    Hope no one gets mad at me for this, but I have to comment....there are a lot of things you can do for stress relief, but please don't take up tanning. The risks involved are too great, as everyone...

  17. Is it okay to not like an aspect/feild of nursing?

    cherrybreeze replied to leolomb's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is one of those professions where there is a VAST range of situations you'll encounter. There are many different specialties, many different things you can do (kind of like law...a lawyer can...

  18. Why do I miss the REALLY good threads?

    cherrybreeze replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I don't consider it arguing, I consider it debate, and I love a good debate. When I can present my ideas on a topic and stand behind them, I appreciate the back and forth with someone that doesn't...

  19. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    cherrybreeze replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    So it's, do as you say, and not as you do? Because you've taken a lot of the responses on here and turned them into something other than what they were, also. Which very likely could mean you're not...

  20. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    cherrybreeze replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    OH for heaven's sake, please save the "eat their young" BS. Only in nursing do you ever hear that line, and it is so over- and mis-used. Any other line of work, you can tell someone when they've...

  21. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    cherrybreeze replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    I've read the post several times, and stand behind my opinion. The situation at hand was not at all an appropriate time to be asking about the hiring of new grads. Period. She was there in the...

  22. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    cherrybreeze replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    It's been said several times. Volunteering is fine. Accept a position to volunteer. Once you're there, settled in the position, etc, you can ask some questions. But honestly, don't be surprised if...

  23. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    cherrybreeze replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I happen to think you're way off base. You are also missing half of the point, or just plain not reading half of the replies that are dissenting. You said, "as long as they are there to help,...

  24. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    cherrybreeze replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    What else amazes me, OP, and I have to say this and then I can leave it alone, is the title of this thread, even. "got yelled at today-for volunteering" You didn't get YELLED AT FOR VOLUNTEERING....

  25. got yelled at today- for volunteering

    cherrybreeze replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    I never said it was wrong to volunteer as a means to get your foot in the door somewhere, and I don't think anyone else would, either. What's wrong is using your time with the volunteer cooridinator,...
