  1. "He just wanted to know..."

    Accolay replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You did say that practitioners you work with from other countries "are fine with" questions about their origin. But you really don't know what they are experiencing, you are not The Other. This is my...

  2. RN's are you happy with your career, why or why not?

    Accolay replied to anjoku13's topic in General Nursing

    Because one of these things is not like the other. Once you do the work for the BS you'll know. You'll know!!! "Accolay's Deep Thoughts" or "Well, you asked." To answer the OP- I've had a lot of jobs....

  3. Taking a sleep aid when on call?

    Accolay replied to boquiabierta's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno, are we allowed to take a possibly mind-numbing swallow of Nyquill if on call? I supposed anything OTC and prescribed as directed, but still not always the best idea if you're on-call however,...

  4. "He just wanted to know..."

    Accolay replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No, I wasn't, but I'll stop it there. I'm sorry and appologize if I caused any offense. I was trying to compare the believeability that are in the same vein- something happens isn't believed or isn't...

  5. "He just wanted to know..."

    Accolay replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't understand how you could have sensitivity for one group, women, who are abused because you're (presumably) female, but not for immigrants who are abused because you're not an immigrant,...

  6. "He just wanted to know..."

    Accolay replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What does it matter if you're talking about anything other than your example? Still not my business to talk about a third party, even if they are present, with a patient. You don't even have to lie-...

  7. Taking a sleep aid when on call?

    Accolay replied to boquiabierta's topic in General Nursing

    Give me more. What's your schedule? Do you work a day shift, then are on-call all night long? Is it everynight? Is it only a couple nights? Are the nights grouped together? Attempting to use your...

  8. I forgot to return blood to the bloodbank

    Accolay replied to Marie_N's topic in General Nursing

    You didn't leave the blood in the OR because you never received it. That's what you need to make sure is heard. You had no idea it had even arrived and attempted to communicate that you didn't need...

  9. Is this appropriate?

    Accolay replied to SuperMomBob88's topic in General Nursing

    I'm fairly old school about using personal items for work. If a business wants me to use my capital for their business they should reimburse me for it. It's like taking a paycut without thinking about...

  10. "He just wanted to know..."

    Accolay replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think your coworkers are hot garbage. If patients ask me about other coworkers I tell them to ask the person next time they see them. It's not my business to talk about my collegues with patients or...

  11. Taking a sleep aid when on call?

    Accolay replied to boquiabierta's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's a bad idea, but that's just my two cents. You're still going to be giving professional judgement to someone on the phone. Will the sleep aid impair that judgement? Your mileage may...

  12. Nurse Imposters

    Accolay replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    If someone states they are a nurse on the phone, having a conversation as a nurse, leading the licenced nurse on the other end of the phone to believe that they are talking to another licenced nurse...

  13. Burnt out

    Accolay replied to KSjo88's topic in Nursing Career

    Are you sure that's correct? Like really? If so, it's time to find a new

  14. Should I quit during orientation?

    Accolay replied to littlemiss8's topic in Nursing Career

    A general question: Why is the solution to these many posts always the path of least resistance? The Problem X is hard! so I should do Easiest Y... Is this what you wanted? You were excited to get a...

  15. I didn't wake up on time and was too late to come for AM shift?

    Accolay replied to Surgonconurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wait until you sleep through daylight savings once :) Yeah, it happens. You're sorry. It wont happen again anytime soon. Keep

    Accolay replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    Why wasn't this guy taken to jail vs. escorted off the premesis.... does that mean the incident occured and they didn't immediately call the police? I want to know the real story here because anyone...

  17. Nurse Imposters

    Accolay replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    You'll have to check your own states nursing practice law for the answer. But I did cite the law in MS.... it says it right there. But I also stated that: Plenty of laws are on the books that aren't...

  19. Want to go to nursing school

    Accolay replied to Strangely629's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bienvenido Abordo! Give us more. But while you come up with fact-filled post answering our queries, such as bellybuttons or, well, the other end: everyone has an opinion: My advice would be to become...

  21. Nurse Imposters

    Accolay replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    I'm willing to wager that these statutes only come up when something bad happens i.e. someone gets sued or in cases such as these: Nurse Imposter At UMPC Responded To More Than One Call Police: Nurse...

  22. Nurse Imposters

    Accolay replied to Nursemccaleb's topic in General Nursing

    The internet is a wonderful tool. "Nurse" is a protected term in Mississippi and it's a misdemeanor to claim otherwise with a whole load of possible punishment if convicted. However, who knows how...

  23. withholding medications ethical dilemma

    Accolay replied to WILLTHEMURSE's topic in General Nursing

    OP, it's not that I don't believe what you think you saw or didn't see, or that RN wasn't a big meany, but I have to defer to the RN's license and experience against a nursing student/experienced...

  24. Health insurance that restricts employees from receiving care outside of employer owned ho

    Accolay replied to floatRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think this has been covered before, ad nauseum. They got rid of those plans because they didn't cover up to the standard before the ACA, despite the low payments. **Accolay Steps onto Soapbox**...

  25. Best car for home visiting nurse in New England?

    Accolay replied to PHNinNE's topic in General Nursing

    +++1 on the winter tires, and also buy those cheap steel rims for winter if you can get them at a reasonable price. I'll give a big "Meh" for Subaru- I have a neutral opinion about the company but...
