  1. How to resign from a job..here is what you do!

    BabyLady posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I am posting this because it has become a weekly topic of discussion on the board. To me, so many people overthink this task and make it much more difficult than what it really is. I decided to post...

  2. 2015 DNP

    BabyLady posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I am wondering if anyone has heard any updates. Everything I keep seeing online from the AACN is "recommendation", "strongly encouraged", "highly suggested". I have yet to see anything, that says,...

  3. Impaired mothers at the bedside.

    BabyLady posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am curious as to how other facilities handles situations where the mother comes in or desires to room-in with a baby and has come in obviously impaired or if they are already rooming in, an...

  4. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    BabyLady replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    It is a lack of practice. Seriously....this is probably the #1 mistake that people make in math...they rush through their homework, don't do enough of it, etc. I am not a strong math student, however,...

  5. Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    BabyLady replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    We had one that was charged with a violent crime and she wasn't allowed to come back to clinical (she could attend class) until it was resolved. She was ultimately convicted, dropped out of the...

  6. Lab Values on NCLEX

    BabyLady replied to deemarys's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you get a copy of an NCLEX study guide, they should be in there. Don't obsess with minute measurements of start and end values...these will always vary slightly by text. We were told that on the...

  7. Biopsy and Ablation the week before school starts???

    BabyLady replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    I had this same procedure done under general anesthesia and I was shocked at how fast the recovery was. I never even took a

  8. Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    BabyLady replied to Kateoh82's topic in General Students

    Why are you concerned about what someone else posts on their OWN Facebook account? Would you want someone monitoring the information you post on yours? Sounds like the only people that find it...

  9. HIPPA question

    BabyLady replied to sherry79007's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Court order overrules HIPAA...all day long. Think about it....a biological mother loses custody of her child due to a COURT ORDER...does that STILL entitle her to medical information? Absolutely not....

  10. pt. called in narcotics under MY name...now what

    BabyLady replied to Yulie's topic in General Nursing

    But seriously folks...is this situation even that unusual that the OP described? I would think that pharmacies would very savvy at picking up these fake call-ins and to me, it wouldn't take but...

  11. has anyone used a "clicker" device for tests?

    BabyLady replied to BacktotheBeach's topic in General Students

  12. pt. called in narcotics under MY name...now what

    BabyLady replied to Yulie's topic in General Nursing

    It's not that simple...I wasn't contradicting myself at all...in fact I said that the only crime that MAY have been committed was identity theft with regards to the OP...but that isn't for me to...

  13. pt. called in narcotics under MY name...now what

    BabyLady replied to Yulie's topic in General Nursing

    As a person that has been a victim of identy theft MULTIPLE times, I can tell you now that identity theft does NOT automatically go through the FBI...it depends on WHAT part of your identity that was...

  14. pt. called in narcotics under MY name...now what

    BabyLady replied to Yulie's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest..you have been watching too much CSI. 1. What is she going to report to the narcotics officer and what PROOF is she going to be able to provide? Nothing...absolutely nothing...because...

  15. Attn: Frontier Graduates..

    BabyLady posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    How many of you got your CNM and then went back to get your WHNP? How long did it take? Just

  16. Why are Nursing Programs so Cruel to Students

    BabyLady replied to soon_2Bnurse's topic in LPN to RN

    I agree they need to be more understanding and more professional. That is one of the reasons why I aspire to be a nursing educator. Because there are too many in the profession that have ZERO business...

  17. MORAL DILEMA

    BabyLady replied to TonyaM73's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that isn't the series of events you mentioned in your original post (please go back and read). Also, considering you agreed with a co-worker regarding confusing assisted suicide with a patient's...

  18. Why are Nursing Programs so Cruel to Students

    BabyLady replied to soon_2Bnurse's topic in LPN to RN

    I'll be honest, I am not a fan of nursing instructors. 80% of them have chips on their shoulder and it is only in the BSN program that I am currently in that I actually realized that there was a such...

  19. has anyone used a "clicker" device for tests?

    BabyLady replied to BacktotheBeach's topic in General Students

    I would disagree with you on that...it is NOT how the NCLEX is structured. When you miss a question on an actual exam, you automatically lose points...period. The NCLEX requires you to get 50% of the...

  20. MORAL DILEMA

    BabyLady replied to TonyaM73's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are confusing the right to refuse treatment with assisted suicide and I cannot believe that educated healthcare professionals are confusing the two. You cannot LEGALLY not provide...

  21. MORAL DILEMA

    BabyLady replied to TonyaM73's topic in General Nursing

    What is the moral issue? The patient WAS NOT on a DNR at the time you got an order to help get their O2 sats back up. THEN they signed a DNR. THEN they refused additional treatment. To me, that is a...

  22. More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

    BabyLady replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    LOL...yeah. She

  23. More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

    BabyLady replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This isn't new...but an established fact. I have a cousin that was recruited by TWO internationally known modeling agencies and turned them both down because she had no interest in modeling. She is...

  24. pt. called in narcotics under MY name...now what

    BabyLady replied to Yulie's topic in General Nursing

    Good Lord, you have NO CONTROL if someone uses your name in the commission of ANY CRIME. Somebody could get arrested tomorrow and use my name. I don't worry about things like that. You can report...

  25. Time off for Funerals???

    BabyLady replied to ChristineN's topic in General Nursing

    ..on a side note..this is why it is a good idea to have a life insurance policy, even a small one, on your children. I never thought about it either until someone said, "If something happens to your...
