  1. Time off for Funerals???

    BabyLady replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand not giving bereavement for every relative or friend...think about it...some people have families that are so large that they would never work if they were allowed off for every...

  2. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    BabyLady replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Look at how little nurses get paid compared to a CRNA. Nurses have a ton of responsibility because some nurses kill people every day. CRNA's know the pay before they take the job. If they want the...

  3. failed pre-employment drug screen

    BabyLady replied to chk888's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, lesson learned. If MJ is that important to you then I would probably consider another career option. No sympathy here. PS: Does anyone find it odd that this would be reportable on a...

  4. Why are Nursing Programs so Cruel to Students

    BabyLady replied to soon_2Bnurse's topic in LPN to RN

  5. we cannot have acrylic fingernails

    BabyLady replied to jh56031's topic in General Students

    Nail polish is not unprofessional (if a neutral color) and I will disagree with infection control all day long that chipped polish is a breeding ground for anything, as the polish that remains on the...

  6. we cannot have acrylic fingernails

    BabyLady replied to jh56031's topic in General Students

    Every facility is different, but most facilities will not permit you to wear acrylic nails IF YOU ARE INVOLVED in direct patient care. I understand how she feels, trust me. People that have nails that...

  7. Problems with verifying my past employment

    BabyLady replied to kerussll's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I would probably elect to work for a facility that exercises a little bit of intellegence. A restaurant FOUR years ago is about as irrelevant as it gets as far as an employment history. God...

  8. Going to fill out paperwork for new job-Do i dress like im going to an interview?

    BabyLady replied to wookieRN11's topic in General Nursing

    If you have already been HIRED...then business casual is

  9. PICC removal

    BabyLady replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    you don't have to over-analyze it and you are not responsible for supervising the physician in any way. this is what i would chart: picc removed by dr. jones. then chart how the site was dressed. i...

  10. 2015 DNP

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I understand what you are asking, but think about it. Very rarely do I see, even on Allnurses, post that they "just" graduated from nursing school and are going to immediately apply to an NP program....

  11. pt complaint/called to office

    BabyLady replied to AggieNurse99's topic in General Nursing

    Usually the rule of thumb is that if you are fired for breaking company policy, stealing, failing a drug test, SERIOUS things like that, I can tell you with virtual certainty that you will not get...

  12. Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    BabyLady replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    School nurse was right...no question about

  13. 2015 DNP

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Alcohol used to be illegal during the prohibition also....this is physicians making this call, thus, confusing the public even more instead of educating them. AMA forks out big $$$ for lobbyists...or...

  14. 2015 DNP

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Someone with a new grad MSN from a direct-entry program, I am assuming, wouldn't be on a transport them, etc..unless properly trained,

  15. pt complaint/called to office

    BabyLady replied to AggieNurse99's topic in General Nursing

    ....here is some advice. I would NEVER be "required" by my employer to turn in a letter of resignation. Why? Because first, they cannot require you to quit. They can fire you, but they cannot...

  16. PICC removal

    BabyLady replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    So how many times have you been sued over a tip? Just sayin'. I only have to be responsible for the PICC's used in MY unit that I remove....not every PICC manufactured on the market. All of the ones...

  17. Ethical discussion about blood donation.

    BabyLady replied to Flare's topic in General Nursing

    I guess you forgot about the 70's when the worse thing people thought you could "catch" could be cured by a 10 day course of antibiotics. It is VERY

  18. PICC removal

    BabyLady replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    The next time you pull one out...look CLOSELY at the tip...you will see that it is slightly rounded...that is how you know the tip is intact. If it is not it will look similar to the tip of an IV...

  19. Ethical discussion about blood donation.

    BabyLady replied to Flare's topic in General Nursing

    MY POINT

  20. Ethical discussion about blood donation.

    BabyLady replied to Flare's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest...I agree with your gay friend that he SHOULD like on the application. You know why? They don't ask on the application if you are sexually promiscious! They don't ask if you are a...

  21. PICC removal

    BabyLady replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    what kind of picc's are you usings? we don't measure ours either because the measurements appear directly on the catheter and we simply check to make sure the tip is intact. there is no reason to...

  22. Not immune to mmr

    BabyLady replied to Band's topic in General Students

    I don't think you are understanding what people are saying. IF your titers are negative, you SHOULD revaccinate. However, if you do not show immunity after a vaccination, they CANNOT DENY you a spot...

  23. 2015 DNP

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    There is a finite difference between confusing the patient and EDUCATING THE PUBLIC. It is time to educate the public. The last time I had surgery, I had no less than 4 MD's enter my room and here is...

  24. 2015 DNP

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I would have to disagree with you on that. The major difference between nurses and physicians is that physicians come and review the chart, talk to the patient for 5 minutes, write an order and...

  25. 2015 DNP

    BabyLady replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    This wouldn't happen anyway, nor is it even mentioned in the PROPOSAL. I have no idea why people think that "grandfathering" is even part of the equation...it never has been and never will be. Even...
