    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Ehhh I guess, would have been better had it been a Mercedes though! Or maybe an Audi, I love

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh you didn't disappoint me. It gave me the perfect opportunity to make the post you quoted, it was meant to be a tongue in cheek post that a few members would get. That's super sweet you shared your...

    Reporting to BON

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I took them as being hesitant more because of their history and friendship (which would make it a hard situation for most), not so much because they were an NP. I would be more on the lines of...

    Law of Attraction in my life.

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

    I keep envisioning my pants falling off, but no such luck yet.

    Drug Discrepency

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to darlingmad1's topic in Patient Medications

    It showed the wrong count when you pulled it. IE: You entered there were 14 Dilauded and it said there should be 15. Or it was correct when you did it but the next nurse showed the count was

    Bullies

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to dream'n's topic in School

    See and this sort of thing is what prompted my post. My son (not the one mentioned in this post, I had a gaggle of kids) but the one that would always try getting out of class, he would do the whole...

    Reporting to BON

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a really really tough situation to be in. I wonder if it should go into the recovery forum because I would like to hear what some of our recovering addicts have to say. I know some feel that...

    Falsely accused of med diversion

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

    So I just read this entire thread and what a roller coaster. I too misread who OC implied wasn't decent. But at one point I wanted to grab OC and Been There and knock their heads together. So I was...

    New job, IV issues

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    IV's are probably one of my favorite skills to do. It's very hard to teach online in a forum. You're better youtubing tips and tricks as far as an online visual aide. But it's going to come down to...

    Can posting about a friend breach HIPAA?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to MOVAN15's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    From my understanding and experience it's more of the individual policies that have specifics in place for these specialized areas. Not that it's from the HIPAA laws themselves. For example, 6 months...

    For the record they didn't say it any better. I just got bored repeating myself so I left them

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Probably at brunch with her best friend who is telling her all about the most unfortunate and sad incident that happened with their other friend that wears a headdress and was fired. They are waiting...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Spidey that's what I was implying, just in more of a sarcastic way. Because the issues the OP spoke of are not caused from this one nurse, it's caused from poor administration and

    Can posting about a friend breach HIPAA?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to MOVAN15's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This situation I talked about actually didn't involve social media. The first scenario did. The first scenario was my neighbor was working on his truck and somehow got his hands stuck in a some...

    More Autonomy?? No more hourly wage grovelling!!

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

    I'm confused about your use of autonomy. You're wanting more autonomy in your personal life (meaning time off work to attend functions and stuff?) This isn't in regards to more autonomy in your...

    Gossiping at the workplace

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to MissNurs2016's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's been that way at every single place I have worked. I refuse to participate in it. I also refuse to just allow it to happen around me without calling it out. People have learned not to put others...

    Bullies

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to dream'n's topic in School

    Believe me, I understand. That wasn't the problem with my son at this point. That was the issue when we had to spend the 2 days in the Peds ER. I work ER so I was well prepared on what to expect and...

    Can posting about a friend breach HIPAA?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to MOVAN15's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What's worse is how mis-informed the hospitals own administration and management seem to be about it. They are so worried about getting sued and even a rumor of a violation they just act. I was...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell this is a situation you obviously seem to have some passionate feelings about, at least it appears that way from this post. I am trying really really hard to understand your rationale here,...

    "Prestige" Nursing Schools

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Students

    Well I will certainly give you that then. I can't speak for how things were in the 70's. I was only speaking currently within the last 10 years. So back then it absolutely might have carried more...

    Do C's get degrees?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to melsothavy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that saying more so applies once you get into nursing school. When it comes to your pre-reqs it would depend on your colleges system and how strict it is vs the number of applicants there are....

    Can posting about a friend breach HIPAA?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to MOVAN15's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Something to keep in mind in situations like these, although you did not violate HIPAA. it can create a mess and a very large headache regardless. In the end you should be found that you weren't in...

    Okay, I have a dumb question.

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

    Not all schools required them. I never took either of them. Upon graduation they had HESI tests for us to take just to see how we did. It didn't count for or against us or anything. Shoot I did better...
