  3. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    workinmomRN2012 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    workinmomRN2012 replied to O.Nato's topic in General Nursing

    workinmomRN2012 replied to connecticut23's topic in First Year After Licensure

  6. New nurse staying way past 9:30 pm on day shift

    workinmomRN2012 replied to connecticut23's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My floor has cut back recently RN's/CNA's alike, we now go up to 6 pts each and that is not safe in my opinion. Like it or not, corners will be cut to get everything done...some people may not admit...

    workinmomRN2012 replied to Breycn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a bad experience with another RN who just happened to work nights and she has been a nurse for a very long time, so she should know better. This nurse decided that she could critisize me in...

    I too, love Med/Surg!!! I love the variety of patients and if you love to learn new and exciting diseases, its the perfect place for you. Its never boring and very often comical. Most patients are...

  16. Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    workinmomRN2012 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Again, people should really educate themselves. I bet your sister does not go to AA on a daily or weekly basis... because if she did, she would not be the same person 25 years later. It is so much...

  17. Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    workinmomRN2012 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    These posts are actually scaring me.. to think that a good portion of the nurses that are posting here agree with giving a patient in the hospital alcohol, just so they don't go thru dt's?? or so they...

  18. Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    workinmomRN2012 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

  20. Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    workinmomRN2012 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    Now hospitals use Marinal as an appetite stimulant, it works wonders. There is a reason that alcohol is not allowed in hospitals..because thats where most of the alcoholics and addicts end up after a...

  21. Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    workinmomRN2012 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in an STR and a Dr did order a glass of wine with dinner for a patient who normally did this at home but not because he didnt want her to go into withdrawal. If this patient is in a hospital...

  22. From LTACH to Med Surg

    workinmomRN2012 replied to dadweeb's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I actually think that since you came from LTC that you probably have a better handle on time management than most new RN's. I worked in a SNF doing sub acute rehab and that is what I found when I...
