    Physician Orders: How to stay organized?

    netglow replied to whisperinrain's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You need a DON. You cannot carry the liability of all of this on your shoulders. Look for a new place to work and make it your priority before you get in

    Lonely and stressed

    netglow replied to Stella197's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is what you do to pay your bills. It matters not where you work as a nurse to pay your bills. If a clinic has more "perks" for you and the life you want, work at the clinic. Remember the...

    netglow replied to NM nurse to be's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, as any online app these days asks, "have you ever left a job without giving 2 weeks notice?" I just left, gave my notice and did the harrowing 2 weeks, if you gotta shoot yourself in the head...

    What would you do about this...

    netglow replied to Miller86's topic in General Nursing

    I "might" tip off said nurse on where she needs to improve. Take her aside, explain calmly give her a wink and say, "This is news you should use, FYI." And then offer to coach on that

    MDS nursing as a new graduate????

    netglow replied to TealScrubies09's topic in General Nursing

    But... you might not get another offer for months (for real). MDS is kinda different if it's LTC. I was once considering a $21 dollar, part time RN hospital job (clinical) an hour away (65 mph), as I...

    netglow replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    netglow posted a topic in General Nursing

    A new RN employee bundle of paperwork includes a form that you are supposed to mark "Yes" or "No" as to whether you have ever had any of over 50 conditions/illness. The list is exhaustive and covers...

    Is this legal?

    netglow replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah... well, maybe... (j/k) I'm healthy, but I fear for the nurse with the knee replacement, or, who had previous bc or used to be 15 pounds heaver last year (actual question). I just feel that the...

    Is this legal?

    netglow replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I understand having a physical, but the questionaire is a bit over the top. I mean, if it's illegal to ask if a person is pregnant or if they are married/kids... how is this OK additionally, it reeks...

    Is this legal?

    netglow replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Flu shot controversy

    netglow replied to JeniRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just got mine, I don't over think it. I don't do it for my patients really, I do it so I don't have to get really sick hopefully and need to call off. Calling in sick is very much frowned upon. For...

    Letting Go. What should medicine do when it can't save your life?

    netglow replied to HickoryTree's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I so agree with this. Someone I've known for years recently died. Found out about repeated procedures from specialties (you all know who the guilty parties are here). Can't go into detail, but I found...

    Current co-workers asking where your new job is.

    netglow replied to NurseFrustrated's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I do this. And, probably they are more than just curious as they all want out of "the prison" too!!! Their next question would be, "are they hiring any more nurses now?" But, I'd still not discuss

    Does nursing require this stuff???

    netglow replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most importantly, you need to find out which nursing programs you might want to apply to, then, go meet with someone to advise you on what you MUST take for consideration for those programs. Each may...

    RN's asking Dr.'s for medical advice

    netglow replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    IDK, sometimes if they have worked with e/o for years -- professional courtesy... If something needs a little more investigation they'll say so... at least in my experience. ONLY to be done on the...
