    My coworker was high and got away with it

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    First of all no one acted like we just cover this up amongst ourselves. But it really doesn't matter what you were replying too. What matters is what your post said. As far as your last statement,...

    Should I start out on night shift?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to heather.verbs's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly! I have done both. I oriented as a new grad on nights on a pediatric burn/step down and reg. peds unit. Then I switched to the ER and had only been a new grad for 4-5 months but they didn't...

    There was nothing posted that Jon wasn't in his right state of mine. Your whole "even though Jon seemed fine that day, what if one day he isn't." So much wrong to that. You don't go accuse people of...

    Sorry I couldn't read anything past the "I'm not even in nursing school yet"

    Somehow part of my post didn't come through. I had stuff written after the because in the first paragraph.

    Should I start out on night shift?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to heather.verbs's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of places actually won't pay differentials to people on orientation even if on night shift. I was surprised to find that out. Then again I found out some hospitals don't pay their PRN nurses any...

    How would you react? Body odor discussion.

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    Yea the more and more I think about it the more I feel for the OP. I have negotiated with a pt before to shower. Psych patients we were boarding for days in the ER. He smelled so rancid. I agreed to...

    To me, it sounds like the attending is trying to see what and how much you know. For what reasoning I am not sure, but it could be to help teach you which could be invaluable. It could be because One...

    I once had a patient and went to do her IV and I said "you must own a lot of cats" and she laughed and said yes how did I know. I responded "I can smell them" My friend who worked in Transport was...

    My coworker was high and got away with it

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    I think the difference here is there were no concerns for patient safety as the nurse had not exhibited any unsafe behaviors. Quiet the opposite actually. The "concern for safety" came from what could...

    Legit there is this phenomenon that woman think a lady parts is a flippen purse. We had a psych patient that was stripped down yet went in the bathroom and smoked. She hid a pack of smokes and lighter...

    Same here, we had a few FF from the prisons. One would shove anything and everything up his member. It was horrifying. He had to get a suprapubic cath because he caused so much damage to his member....

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    I popped some popcorn and read this whole thread. I laughed a lot (it's ok though because I did forward that post on FB so Jesus loves me) I rolled my eyes a bit, especially about it being the saddest...

    I am pretty good at predicting movies though. Maybe they can put it in movie plot format, then I can solve this

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to heather.verbs's topic in General Nursing

    I personally feel like days is the better choice for the type of learner I am. But you will get just as many conflicting opinions here. With pros and cons for both. Also depends on what kind of unit...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    I actually did mention that maybe there was something wrong causing the order and why nothing was helping it. But so many people just seem so focused on how "out of line and offensive" the nurse was....

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    Oh believe me, just based off the information I have (since it's only one side) I think a suspension is absurd. I am however surprised by a lot of these responses and criticism on the nurse. She was...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Nurse-rachet1's topic in General Nursing

    The family was the one bringing in the personal hygiene products, which is why the nurse went to speak to them about it, to maybe try a different type. The nurse had already tried to remedy it and...
