  1. Going to an unaccredited school?

    BabyLady replied to SusGob711's topic in General Nursing

    Find another school...seriously...school is too expensive to attend anything less than an accredited

  2. Arriving early and not clocking in

    BabyLady replied to soxfan80's topic in General Nursing

    My culture of expectation is that I do NO work that I am not getting paid for. None. So if I can't clock in, until, let's say 7:00, then no one had better look for me before 6:55. They cannot require...

  3. IMs and aspirating blood

    BabyLady replied to soxfan80's topic in General Nursing

    First injection I ever gave...I aspirated

  4. Sub. q stick from hep.c positive patient...

    BabyLady replied to Mdean05's topic in General Nursing

    There is less than a 1% chance of transmission...even if the instrument had blood and the stick was less than

  5. Should I get liability insurance?

    BabyLady replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

    You don't need liability insurance if... 1. You think that you will never be unjustly accused. 2. Have tons of cash to pay a lawyer if you are to represent you...b/c the other side will have one. 3....

  6. "That's why I don't like working with women"

    BabyLady replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I have to disgree with this statement...and for the record, I am female. I have worked in another profession that was predominantly male. You did not see, anywhere NEAR the backstabbing,...

  7. Would you cut your hair for your career?

    BabyLady replied to Claritee's topic in General Nursing

    I am not one to get on the discriminatory badwagon, but to me, that is discriminatory. Dreadlocks is not a fashion trend for some that have what would be described as having "ethnic" hair, it's...

  8. How to deal with a rude classmate?

    BabyLady replied to esunada's topic in General Students

    I don't think she is being rude as much as she is ignoring you...what are you going to confront her with? The fact she doesn't want to be friends with you on Facebook and won't speak to you? I would...

  9. HIPAA Compliance- posting patient names on assignment board

    BabyLady replied to ivorybunny's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    At our hospital we have, as part of our consents, if a patient has an issue with their last name being posted outside their door or on a patient board. Only in very rare cases with social issues, do...

  10. any probs with sallie mae private loans

    BabyLady replied to rokbe's topic in General Students

    Notes on loans are legal contracts and they cannot change the terms of repayment as long as you are making the payments...not on student loans or any other loans in the USA. However, you must...

  11. Post Op Patients / Isolation

    BabyLady replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    This would get you fired at our facility. The only exception is a code and when the code team leaves they have to change into fresh hospital scrubs and they grab masks and gloves on the way in. I...

  12. If it wasn't charted it didn't happen

    BabyLady replied to HamsterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously, we have to chart things that happened, but there are tons of aspects of charting that is incredibly subjective. To me, my RN license belongs to me, not the hospital, and I am going to chart...

  13. So what do you do if you cut your finger?

    BabyLady replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    Our facility has a policy that you cannot work with sutures...regardless of where they are on the body. Usually students have to adhere by the same policy...that is for your protection as well as the...

  14. Working "below your license"

    BabyLady replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't vary between states. There is nothing illegal about working below your title...slavery ended the last century and you can take any job for any pay that you want. However, laws in every...

  15. not looking "put together"

    BabyLady replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    Our manager has her office...on the floor where we work. She wears scrubs and a lab coat to work every day, unless she will be in meetings, then it's business attire with a lab coat. She will come in...

  16. Is there conflict of interest here? (A real RN in an ad)

    BabyLady replied to TorsadesDePointesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Every company has conflict of interest policies...hospitals are not, by any means, unique. 9 times out of 10, this is an issue with upper management rather than nurses, thus, why the policy exists. It...

  17. Is there conflict of interest here? (A real RN in an ad)

    BabyLady replied to TorsadesDePointesRN's topic in General Nursing

  18. not looking "put together"

    BabyLady replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    Professional enough not to look like you slept in them and to come to work looking like you are capable of saving someone's life and not looking like you just crawled out of bed and decided to wing...

  19. not looking "put together"

    BabyLady replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I think too many nurses in the profession, especially the ones that work the night shift, let themselves go. I can't stand to see it and feel that it is very unprofessional. We see family members...

  20. Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia

    BabyLady replied to Little Panda RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of this either and just looked it

  21. Is there conflict of interest here? (A real RN in an ad)

    BabyLady replied to TorsadesDePointesRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is why, every infommercial you see, that has a physician in the commercial CLEARLY STATES that the commercial is not to be taken as medical advice. So, I think what you are suggesting wouldn't...

  22. Is there conflict of interest here? (A real RN in an ad)

    BabyLady replied to TorsadesDePointesRN's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't matter if they were portraying you as a nurse or not. No different than the models in scrubs catalogs are most likely not medical professionals. No reason to mention it to your...

  23. Need Advice on BSN or ASN!

    BabyLady replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Nursing

    Another option that would keep you somewhat at bedside is that of the role of Clinical Educator...that is something you might enjoy very much..you are very much in the trenches and are responsible for...

  24. Need Advice on BSN or ASN!

    BabyLady replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Nursing

    There is something that some managers consider... There is nothing wrong with someone wanting to get their ADN and not going any further...some people are content working as a bedside RN, enjoy the...

  25. Need Advice on BSN or ASN!

    BabyLady replied to rileysaunt's topic in General Nursing

    I would disagree with this and it would vary depending on where you live and the facility. At my facility, a BSN vs ADN makes the SAME...all of the ads for jobs say BSN preferred, but I can tell you...
