    It's Finally Happened!

    netglow replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh Ruby. If you do, your boss will think you are crazy. Who knows what you do when you are at work with sensitive information? Basically, I'd react by surveillance on you immediately, as well as...

    Problems at the SNF

    netglow replied to richnurse828's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think that the duress the facility put him under, caused his outburst which is a perfectly normal reaction. Good luck to you OP. I'm all about "weeding" out bad facilities. And, a lot needs

    Foreign Transplants

    netglow replied to KittyLovinRN's topic in General Nursing

    Kitty when ever you talk transplant you will see that you meet resistance. The industry is very protective of its share. So, someone will notice this thread and say that you don't know what you are...

    Burned out and hate nursing

    netglow replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If you've never done a thing outside healthcare, it's hard to understand the difference. It's even to the level of basic human rights. I have owned my own business, and let me tell you, 80 hour weeks...

    Burned out and hate nursing

    netglow replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's corporate that makes the decisions now that EMR has been in place for several years in my area. No longer need for nursing go-betweens as everybody is literate, and nursing really has no power...

    Do you tell people where you work?

    netglow replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    I don't even tell people I'm a nurse. I just tell them I'm in marketing - I used to be! No questions with that one, but always there are questions if I answer that I am a nurse. Nursing is pretty...

    Losing respect for nursing students

    Off topic, but when OCNRN63 and I talk - we take over.... Why can you NOT pull a football player's hair. If he's got hair down to his butt, well, to me you should be able to pull it. When I was in...

    netglow replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I know of two new grads in my area - friend families, who are in Finance and Accounting who instantly were hired by big firms in the City (Chicago) near me with absolutely no effort on their part -...

    Burned out and hate nursing

    netglow replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Totally get this, RN1023. After all, more nursing education, gets you what? More nursing, and nothing else for your money. So you go through BSN or higher and you are where you started, unhappy. Maybe...

    Do you tell people where you work?

    netglow replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes. I don't like to. It never leads to anything good. Too many questions usually, and not a one I want to

    netglow replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Hey good you have a bachelors, because there are so many IT guys out there even, you know? The ads I see want "build" ability - no mention of RN. I met a Healthcare Administration degreed person the...

    netglow replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Yeah informatics is kinda old. Never see ads wanting RNs for that anymore, they just use regular IT folks now. You know it's all corporate now. A friend of the family taught IT related stuff at a CC...

    You could try telephonic case manager work eg United Health Care, but I have heard that EVERYBODY is trying to be a case manager now since nursing really sux. So, they get flooded with applications....

    Health Insurance rates...

    netglow replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Bolded part: This is not true at all. False that anyone will have "free" healthcare if employed, under Obama's plan. You will have an automatic deduction taken as payment for your plan, I believe, as...

    Charting...what to say?

    netglow replied to chrisrn24's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all those who think this whole thing is kinda silly. You are signing whether in writing or e-signing when you chart, so you don't need to identify yourself because you are already...

    Coworker having access to my password and charting

    netglow replied to CorinneRN's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you document this interaction! Certified letter or email cc back to you for a date and time stamp. You don't want them to decide to turn guilt around and make you the fall guy. Save all...

    Afraid to quit job after 2.5 weeks

    netglow replied to kjan's topic in General Nursing

    You know, many HH and Hospices will hire anyone who carries a license to manage them. All it takes is a financial partner and a dirty RN. I get people contacting me and begging me to DON. "Name your...

    Losing respect for nursing students

    netglow replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I think it's generational. It's almost as if the entrance age for nursing edu. needs to be say mid 20s at lowest acceptance age. Look at Medicine. You've got to have your undergrad first,...

    Importance of good grades!!!

    netglow replied to BerryHappy's topic in Excelsior College

    Hmmm. Been thinking back. My ADN didn't have a means to bring your grade up either. Strict point system on tests. And for end of semester skills performance test it was pass/fail. If you failed the...

    What drug reference do you use?

    netglow replied to jinny2009's topic in General Nursing

    I have not re-upped my Skyscape for several years. I just use what's there. It's good for admin detail because it's of a nursing sort of understanding. Other than that I have Micromedex and Medscape...

    Afraid to quit job after 2.5 weeks

    netglow replied to kjan's topic in General Nursing

    I'd go so far as to say that we are quickly getting to past 50% of Home Health and Hospice not being legit. And yeah, pretty much nobody is regulating these, until someone blows the whistle or...

    Oral Surgeons doing surgery and providing anesthesia

    netglow replied to wtbcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree. It's scary. If you talk to some of these guys, they'll say how they've fully trained their assistants. Remember most (not all) dental assistants have been trained on the job and those that...
