  1. Hiding meds in food: illegal?

    cherrybreeze replied to gilmet's topic in General Nursing

    If that were the case, though, we could give "guidance" to any of the people that come here and ask for "not medical advice, just what would you do." That happens all the time, and those threads get...

  2. Could use some advice or a listening ear...new RN, newly abusive husband

    cherrybreeze replied to seekinganonymity's topic in General Nursing

    "Picturing" it is NOT enough to fire someone, I'm sorry. There has been NO evidence that her performance suffered, and that's all that matters. If that's the case, you could spin a hundred...

  3. Could use some advice or a listening ear...new RN, newly abusive husband

    cherrybreeze replied to seekinganonymity's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what applies to which states, but where I live (and I know in others), domestic abuse does not fall under mandatory reporting. Child abuse and elder abuse does. Reason being, the adult...

  4. Drug tests

    cherrybreeze replied to loveishope's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry for your loss, loveishope. I would wait until you find out if anything shows up on your test. It may be negative with that much time in between the surgery and the test. If it does come...

  5. Treating elevated blood glucose - yay or nay?

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

    IMO, a blood sugar of 212 is not critical. A K+ of 2.7 would take priority over that. The intent of the ER is to stabilize the patient (and if they're being admitted, to BEGIN the process of...

  6. Battling back injury

    cherrybreeze replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    Your employer does not have to accommodate you with a light-duty assignment. Had you injured yourself at work, it would be a different story. If you can't work to your normal capacity, they have the...

  7. I'm going to nursing school-That's nice, DO YOUR JOB

    cherrybreeze replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    It was said in jest. Why do people make it a point to be offended all the time? (oh wait, I think there's a thread about that somewhere ). She wasn't talking about YOU. We've all worked with people...

  8. I'm going to nursing school-That's nice, DO YOUR JOB

    cherrybreeze replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    These are the types of CNA/nursing students that I love to work with. I have absolutely no problem making sure that those folks that are in school get to see as much as possible, in order to learn....

  9. Is it possible to work as a practical nurse once I finish my ADN degree?

    cherrybreeze replied to Enza's topic in General Nursing

    I know, I was responding to that post, too. You had said that nobody said that ADN=LPN, so I also quoted the post that said "I actually just received my ADN from an LVN program" to show where someone...

  10. Is it possible to work as a practical nurse once I finish my ADN degree?

    cherrybreeze replied to Enza's topic in General Nursing

    We don't clarify what those abbreviations are on this site, because it is a nursing site, and those are common abbreviations. They can easily be looked up. It would be a waste of time for someone to...

  11. Is it possible to work as a practical nurse once I finish my ADN degree?

    cherrybreeze replied to Enza's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if there are places where LPNs/LVNs have Associate's Degrees, but if they do, they are not ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing), because that is an

  12. new job/health insurance/pregnancy...

    cherrybreeze replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you considering a job change and getting pregnant at the same time? I would only consider this an issue if you were already pregnant, and HAD to find/start a new job. Just put off getting...

  13. The Oversensitive... Vent!

    cherrybreeze replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    The same could be said about you, carol, with recent posts I've read of yours. Just being honest (although some would call that mean). I personally have no problem with "where this forum has gone,"...

  14. What do you see?

    cherrybreeze replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    :) I could tell everyone what you look like, but that would ruin the mystery. Now that I've seen you on FB, though, I can't remember what the mental picture I had before was! Are you saying I don't...

  15. They won't stop calling me!

    cherrybreeze replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    I can see your point, then. It becomes a different situation when the facility (or wherever you work) is so small. Glad she stepped up to the

  16. Thoughts about Organ Donors?

    cherrybreeze replied to havehope's topic in General Nursing

    You say in your post that you realize it was TV....keep remembering that, because in NO way, in real life, would anyone NOT try harder to save your life because you are an organ donor. There are...

  17. How do go from ADN to MSN.. Skip BSN? what?

    cherrybreeze replied to Enza's topic in General Nursing

    The point is, it is not difficult info to find. In order to give YOU that info, someone here would have to do the same search. When you ask a question that expects someone else to do something that...

  18. They won't stop calling me!

    cherrybreeze replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Well, to be fair, NEITHER of you HAD to go in. If you were both not scheduled to work that day, neither of you had the obligation to go. That being said, I think it would have been courteous of her...

  19. Should Alzheimers Clients have the right to REFUSE medication ?

    cherrybreeze replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I was sympathetic in my last post to you, and tried to make things make sense....now I'm just getting angry. You still haven't said exactly what you think the staff should have done to *make* your...

  20. How many call ins?

    cherrybreeze replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Where I last worked, it was based on a rolling calendar year, and the number of call offs you were allowed was based on the number of days per week you worked. So, if you worked 5 8-hour shifts a...

  21. More realistic alternative to sentimental "Nurse's Creed?"

    cherrybreeze replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    Love it, rn/writer! I see why you have that username.

  22. Should Alzheimers Clients have the right to REFUSE medication ?

    cherrybreeze replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    i am sorry for what you went through with your father. alzheimer's and advanced dementia are devastating, period. there is no cure; all we can do as both health professionals and families is care...

  23. Disturbing data on Wisconsin

    cherrybreeze replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    We are? I've never heard that, and certainly wouldn't think it. As far as the 25%.......was this during Packer season? Home gameday? THAT I'd

  24. Nursing Admissions/Admitting Nurse In Gay Marriage States

    cherrybreeze replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    I know they don't. I was asking the person who stated that it did why they thought
