  1. "Mature" graduates finding employment

    BabyLady replied to zbb13's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Because of age discrimination, they are not going to advertise that they are hiring older new graduates. I was over 35 when I graduated from nursing school and my class was across the age spectrum and...

  2. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    BabyLady replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    again, pretty hard to look for something if you do not know it exists. seriously folks, everyone here is talking about instances that have chances and a set of circumstances that are so incredibly...

  3. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    BabyLady replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    i would. because the judge, jury, no attorney, no hospital administrator, is going to care more about protecting the nursing license more than me. period. so, bad advice? depends on which end you are...

  4. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    BabyLady replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously doubt if someone who robbed your house will go through a journal and say, "Oh my God, this person violated HIPAA!!! We need to report them immediately to the authorities...uh...now how do...

  5. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    BabyLady replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    ...which again, is why you would never tell anyone that you kept one to start with. Yup...I am 100% advocating lying to a court you know why? 1. No way can they prove otherwise...if you told no one...

  6. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    BabyLady replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    Again, that would have to include... 1. Someone would have to know you had something, in order to steal it. 2. They would also have to know where you hide

  7. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    BabyLady replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but that would have to include the nurse admitting he/she kept notes to start with. That is why, again, I say if you keep a journal, it is for you, your own protection and you tell no one about...

  8. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    BabyLady replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    ...and who are the mysterious people that are going to sneak into your house and steal it and read

  9. The ethics and laws associated with keeping a personal diary

    BabyLady replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    This is something else that people overthink. If you keep a journal at home WHY WOULD YOU TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT?????? No one, no one, not anyone, can know you keep a diary, journal, notes, papers,...

  10. Prescription narcotics or benzodiazepines while working?

    BabyLady replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Unless I saw evidence of impairment, I would mind my own business. People with TRUE levels of pain process pain medications differently than abusers that have no pain....they do not have the swimmy,...

  11. Help! How do I stop blowing very good veins?

    BabyLady replied to bagbaje26's topic in General Nursing

    What type of flushes are you using? Our facility has prefilled saline flushes, but you have to make sure that you push some of the saline out, because the force behind it will cause you to blow a vein...

  12. "Fired for NO Reason"

    BabyLady replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Amen! I was in my late 30's when I changed careers and started nursing and I went into nursing with an open mind. I wanted to learn and took total responsibility for any and all mistakes and...

  13. Frustrated with the image of nursing

    BabyLady replied to Missa's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest...I think you are blowing this out of proportion. Look at where you were...a "sensual" party for adult gifts/toys. Many profesions have been sexualized on some level...nursing is not...

  14. Qoute "If you quit, I will report you to the state B.O.N.!!!!!!"

    BabyLady replied to bobs201's topic in General Nursing

    What is the purpose of getting a letter notarized? Notarizing a letter does NOT make a document legal. All notarization does is prove that it is your signature, as the signature is written in front of...

  15. code on a baby

    BabyLady replied to adpiRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    At our hospital, NICU is called on ALL c-sections and any other delivery where there is a 1% chance they might be needed. The goal is to have them there before the delivery....especially with...

  16. is this considered a fraud?

    BabyLady replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    This depends on the state. I live in a state where a social worker can have a Bachelor or Masters degree. However, unless you have PERSONALLY seen the transcripts that she submitted to her employer,...

  17. Infection control overkill?

    BabyLady posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    My NICU has banned the practice of wearing simple wedding rings...even though we already have the practice in place of wearing gloves anytime we practice infant care as well as a 3-minute hand scrub...

  18. Concerned...allnurses store product

    BabyLady replied to AwayWeGo's topic in General Nursing

    OMG...I CANNOT believe that a single nurse on here would agree that the candy in a very realistic looking prescription pill bottle would be acceptable. Seriously...have those of you that see no...

  19. Incorporating as a nurse

    BabyLady replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    Costs associated with getting paid 1099, are tax deductable whether you are incorporated or not. You deduct them under "unreimbursed business expenses" and should keep a log of what your expenses are...

  20. Pt choking and DNR....

    BabyLady replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Side point and then I will be quiet on this subject: This is EXACTLY why I would never, ever sign a blanket DNR in a hospital....ever. Too many healthcare professions, both physicians and nurses, have...

  21. Pt choking and DNR....

    BabyLady replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    ...and that is when I would answer: "Mr. Smith signed a DNR because he had terminal liver cancer but was alert and oriented x 3 until he swallowed a piece of bread that was lodged in his trachea and...

  22. Pt choking and DNR....

    BabyLady replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    GOOD LORD! I was answering a question regarding CHOKING ON FOOD! Hospice was not even part of the

  23. Pt choking and DNR....

    BabyLady replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you follow that, then expect to lose your nursing license. ......and call the Saunders publishers and tell them they are wrong while you are at

  24. Told a doctor about how I thought he felt I had no common sense

    BabyLady replied to ratherbe's topic in General Nursing

    1. I call troll. 2. Anytime O2 sats are low, common sense says you increase some to see if that fixes the sat levels. 3. A temporary swing from 81% to 95% is not earth shattering. 4. Physician had...

  25. Pt choking and DNR....

    BabyLady replied to Beachbum2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Full Code. The choking is unrelated to the illness that the DNR was issued for. This very question was not only a test question in an ethics chapter but it was also in Saunders when I studied for my...
