    What would you do?

    LydiaNN replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    It isn't about having sympathy for anyone. Frankly, I would probably hope that they got caught. I just wouldn't see it as being my responsibility to make sure that happens. I still have no idea of...

    What would you do?

    LydiaNN replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    This isn't a military academy about which we're talking. Very few schools have 'honor codes' per

    What would you do?

    LydiaNN replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    It has nothing to do with being spineless. Spineless is believing that you have an obligation to tell and not doing it. And I'm sorry, but I'd love any nurse on this forum or anywhere else, for that...

    What would you do?

    LydiaNN replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    In my opinion, no. I kind of fashion my reporting after the 911 rationale, I only report when life, limb or property are at
  5. LydiaNN

    What would you do?

    LydiaNN replied to MommyJoy's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't do anything about it, either. I am of the school of thought that if you give someone enough rope, eventually they'll hang themselves anyway, and you won't be labeled a

    "I'm going to sue you", What do you say?

    LydiaNN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Nursing Career

    HIPAA presentation...please help

    LydiaNN replied to kathesan's topic in General Nursing

    The major problem I have with HIPAA is that no two facilities seem to interpret it exactly the same way. It is very hard to

    Does this sound fair to any of you?

    LydiaNN replied to fergus51's topic in Travel

    The agency wouldn't be in business long if they routinely gave away money, but this doesn't sound like a routine situation to me. They're also not going to be in business long if word gets out that...

    Off topic: How do you keep house?

    LydiaNN replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Students

    I love your aunt's solution! I have, more than once, refused to cook dinner because the kitchen hadn't been cleaned up after lunch. I am talking about dirty dishes in the sink (if they've made it...

    75 Questions...Last one wrong???Pass/Fail

    LydiaNN replied to blue2day's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! I guess this answers your question about it being possible to have check all that apply answers in the double digits (though it doesn't address the humanity of having that many on...

    So, she does drugs... (advice please)

    LydiaNN replied to christinaquilter's topic in General Nursing

    I understood your point perfectly the first time. The problem wasn't that you were unclear. I simply disagree with you. Thank you for attempting to elucidate; however, it is just not

    So, she does drugs... (advice please)

    LydiaNN replied to christinaquilter's topic in General Nursing

    But the issue wouldn't be reporting her because the drug is illegal, it would be whether to report her because she was engaging in something that could impair her ability to do her job, would it not?...

    So, she does drugs... (advice please)

    LydiaNN replied to christinaquilter's topic in General Nursing

    If we are legally required to report this use, I wish someone would cite the law, because I never have and never would report someone solely on the basis of their own report. What if they're lying or...

    So, she does drugs... (advice please)

    LydiaNN replied to christinaquilter's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to do a search, as I'm sure we've had this discussion before. If I recall correctly, opinions were split as to your obligation to report when you've never witnessed drug use or...

    Off topic: How do you keep house?

    LydiaNN replied to S.N. Visit's topic in General Students

    I've told this story on allnurses before, so apologies to anyone reading it for the second time. My husband is also messy and completely oblivious to things sitting on the bottom step to be carried...

    Organic Chemistry

    LydiaNN replied to smelius's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have to take Organic for nursing, then? My roommate and a lot of my friends were Pharmacy majors, they had to take it and I was so grateful it wasn't a Nursing requirement. Gotta agree with...

    I can't believe this! What am I going to do???

    LydiaNN replied to fmrnicumom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Each university sets their own rules for how a W is handled. Some schools do let you retake the class and remove the W from your transcript. If that isn't the case at your school, you may just need...

    Early Toilet Training Is Best

    LydiaNN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    It is kind of hard to take anything seriously from a man who peppers his professional opinions with terms such as frog feathers and balderdash. Whatever happened to presenting the facts in a...

    Breastfeeding at 2 1/2 years???

    LydiaNN replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    Does there really have to be a medical or psychological reason for breastfeeding her child past a traditional age? Can't it be enough that she's the child's mother and has the right to make these...

    87 yr old new mother

    LydiaNN replied to WannaBRN4's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder why the child "couldn't" name the father. It'd almost have to be someone she knew, in a small village of that time. The child she had ended up dying very young, too, I wonder

    87 yr old new mother

    LydiaNN replied to WannaBRN4's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised that your nursing instructor would think a woman in her 80s giving birth wouldn't have warranted more extensive media coverage, were it true. The 66 year old got plenty of press herself....

    The fatting of America.

    LydiaNN replied to tgibson3770's topic in General Nursing

    I once had a vegetarian roommate (she wasn't vegan, though). She would go days without eating, marking them off on a calendar and noting what she'd had to drink. "8 glasses of Crystal Light...

    Measuring big for pregnancy, eyebrows raised

    LydiaNN replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why she would write a note instead of talking to you, or why she would write the word twin when told by anyone other than you. It just feels a little too loosey goosey for my...

    Thinking of quitting second job since May

    LydiaNN replied to JentheRN05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I hope you get the phlebotomy job. It sounds like a day job will work out much better for your physical and mental health. I'm not sure I'd count on the pay compensating for the lack of insurance....
