  1. Unlicensed personnel calling in prescriptions?!

    wizeone7 replied to bassbird's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think it is a shame that non nurses are allowed to do this. I did it before I was a nurse and thought I knew what I was doing. The problem is that I didn't even know what I didn't know! I have...

  2. Unlicensed personnel calling in prescriptions?!

    wizeone7 replied to bassbird's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think the doctor didn't have a leg to stand on because HE signed it even if you wrote it. It is the signature that is in question. He just scapegoated you. I used to do the same things as you...

  3. concise relevant lab value chart?

    wizeone7 replied to normj's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It looks like you didn't get an answer either and now it is a year later. Every university medical bookstore has a little "cheat sheet" laminated card with all the most common labs values on it....

  4. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    wizeone7 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Good for you! Go right for the MSN. That is where it is all

  5. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    wizeone7 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think the handwriting is on the wall, most nurses will need at least a BSN. The same think is going on in the area where I live. Now is the time to get that

  6. Anyone else feeling frustrated with their job?

    wizeone7 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    In response to Daytonite. I know they lied because in one case the manager told a version of a story in my presence and then, not even 2 minutes later, she came into the office I share with the other...

  7. my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    wizeone7 replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with DaFreak71 about them only wanting a warm body. Who puts a new grad or ANY nurse in charge of 52 patients? The malpractice insurance is a must no matter where you work. It only cost...

    wizeone7 replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    I can only hope that roadrunner-in-icu was joking. Sleeping on the job is grounds for loss of license!! Do NOT take this advice. Patients are NOT always

  9. Where is the job for an experienced RN?

    wizeone7 replied to niceone's topic in General Nursing

    I think Redhairded Nurse is correct. You have to get on the phone and stay one the phone. Call the hospital's switchboard and ask to be transferred to the manager's office for the unit you applied...

  10. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    wizeone7 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You can't do small print b/c it is an online application. Even if you go to the facility to apply, you must do it on a computer. I guess my main point was that I have friends with MSNs who don't...

  11. my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    wizeone7 replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    First, I want to say I believe you made the right decision. You were wise to go to the site and see that what they said didn't even make sense about house time a nurse spends with a patient. This is...

  12. Will BSN get jobs over ASN in this recession?

    wizeone7 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In my area where the hospitals are either getting or have gotten magnet status, they need BSN & MSN nurses to do it. The biggest frustration for me is that the way the applications are set up....

  13. my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    wizeone7 replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    What State do you live in? Here in Raleigh, NC there is NOTHING! I hear Texas has jobs. Any chance you can move? I would NOT move without a firm job offer on the

    wizeone7 replied to niceone's topic in General Nursing

    I have been told the same thing by a nurse who lives in

  15. Where is the job for an experienced RN?

    wizeone7 replied to niceone's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that the Raleigh, NC area does NOT have jobs.

  16. my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    wizeone7 replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    Yes the times are tough but what if you end up losing your license due to this job? Then it will be REALLY tough! I am sorry to be so hard nosed. I just don't want you to get in over your head and...

  17. my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    wizeone7 replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way that a ratio of 1:52 is safe! How can you learn when there will be no one to teach you and you are overwhelmed the entire time? What happens to the other 51 patients if one goes bad...

  18. How to find NANDA diagnosis without buying a book

    wizeone7 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How do I post a question? This is my first time to try and I don't know where to start. It has nothing to do with a specialty. I want to know how to find NANDA diagnosis without buying a book....

  20. Help Need Advice!

    wizeone7 replied to Kristy111's topic in General Nursing

    The big money right now is being an oral hygienist. In N.C. it pays about $40/hr. You might want to wait until your child is in kindergarten so you can finish faster. I agree with the advise...

  21. Anyone else feeling frustrated with their job?

    wizeone7 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    In my area you can't even get a job in a hospital now because of the economy. They post jobs but only b/c it is required by law. Even if you get an interview, you have NO chance of being hired b/c...

  22. Using butterflies with metal needles

    wizeone7 posted a topic in Oncology

    Is there a standard that says you cannot do a short (+/- 2 hour) infusion with a Butterfly that has a metal needle rather than a catheter? Another nurse told me this is an OSHA breach. Does anyone...
