  1. This Does Not Make Sense - But happens anyway!

    Fixit replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    This Does Not Make Sense - But happens anyway!..... In my state NO LPN can't cut a diabetics nails! If you're the only RN working in a large nursing home you have to cut all the diabetics' nails. I...

  2. New Grad RN offered Hospital Position & Dr.'s office Position Need Advice :-)

    Fixit replied to kaylynnd06's topic in Nursing Career

    I'd go with the hospital job for the reasons you listed. Plus it doesn't seem like a doctors office would have a career ladder for a BSN to

  3. BSN programs for RN with a BSBA

    Fixit replied to kellogs5's topic in General Students

    thomas edison online takes most gen ed transfer credits.

  4. Should I get my ADN or BSN based on my life goals?

    Fixit replied to Maria2694's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Be sure you really want to be an RN for love of the work. The work is not as simple as you think and jobs aren't as plentiful as you have been told. You are very young so you have time to decide what...

  5. Can this put MY license at risk?

    Fixit replied to missladyrn's topic in General Nursing

    As charge you do have some responsibility to supervise and see that meds were given, not tossed into the shaprs bin. I'd report her to the BON in a New York minute! She is lazy, dishonest and VERY...

  6. Nurses protest at HCA Largo Medical Center

    Fixit replied to VU RN BSN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Good. HCA must have the worst reputation for nurse abuse and unsafe pt conditions yet they keep buying more hospitals. I'll never work for

  7. To those who want to leave nursing

    Fixit replied to PunkBenRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Exactly. The 25 yr old newbie nurse is an Epic fail on therapeutic communications. Clueless as to what some of us are going through at

  8. Proposition for a Nursing Revolt

    Fixit replied to PintheD's topic in General Nursing

    Lady Jane, Thanks for bringing this serious threat to our livelihoods back from the dead. Every SINGLE US RN currently employed as a nurse or hoping to work as an RN should be aware of this

  9. Diversity.. at what price?

    Fixit replied to Been there,done that's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dude. If you're so good with computers why can't you show who you were quoting in your post? And why do you have to scream your post? I'm not really middle age but I'm old enough to respect that...

  10. Diversity.. at what price?

    Fixit replied to Been there,done that's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly. The newbies haven't 'been there' or haven't been nurses long enough to have worked in a large city where you are the only native English speaking person around. Also if someone posts a...

  11. Effect of Public Reprimand on Current Job?

    Fixit replied to com4table's topic in General Nursing

    To my knowledge, hospitals and nursing homes do a check of their currently employed nurses every 2 years. They check for criminal background (arrests), BON actions, nursys, OIG, and the 2 national...

  12. Unsafe Staffing

    Fixit replied to **LaurelRN's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree. This "Hospital Corporation" has set you up to be the perfect fall guy when something horrible happens. I went through a similar situation when my old hospital was bought out by HCA....

  13. Missing meds & I'm getting the blame

    Fixit replied to ForeverMoving's topic in General Nursing

    btw Sorry for typos I'm using an old computer with missing

  14. Missing meds & I'm getting the blame

    Fixit replied to ForeverMoving's topic in General Nursing

    NO NO NO. This is ABSOLUTELY verbotin and will get you discipline in BOTH states. When you apply for the new license in the new state the new BON will always ask if you have a pending investigation....

  15. failed pre-employment drug screen

    Fixit replied to chk888's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if I'm not "helpful" or as much of a bleeding heart as some would like but I do not buy it. Seriously, be honest. You have a clean license and no previous sanctions, failed a pre-employment...

  16. from AN it looks like the job market is much better!

    Fixit replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in an area with a lot of nursing programs too. Even experienced nurses are having trouble finding

  17. No burn out....enough is enough!

    Fixit replied to joanna73's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos. I'm glad you are thinking of yourself and saying no to the guilt trips/extra shifts. Nursing is very hard work and you need your days off. Agree that the hospitals short staff to make more...

  18. Back Stabbing

    Fixit replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I think it's because nurses are told that we are 'mandated to report' violations of our practice act. If you don't report something (with appropriate documentation) your license could be...

  19. NCSBN commercial

    Fixit replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Looks just like my unit. All pretty high school aged nurses with long hair and hoop ear rings. Where are the male

  20. NCSBN commercial

    Fixit replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Haha. We need shorter term-limits on these entitled witch hunters/members of the Board of Nazis. Then then can get back on the units to see what the real problems are-(intentional short staffing,...

  21. NCSBN commercial

    Fixit replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    I feel the same as VanillaNut. This ad is a waste of money that could have been spent on much better things...like designing good courses ncsbn could then market to nurses who make med errors and...

  22. NCSBN commercial

    Fixit replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    This ad is ridiculous and a waste of money. Employers already background check, finger print us and look us up in all national databases. And patients know the how to lodge a complaint against a...

  23. I'm thinking about dropping out of nursing school...?

    Fixit replied to tatempole's topic in General Nursing

    There is no shortage of nurses. Many graduate and can't find jobs yet schools are still cranking out nurses like puppy

  24. Jobs scarce for nurses

    Fixit replied to GLB_68's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help but think some jobs for new RNs would open up if all states would implement safe nurse/pt ratios. But I don't think that will ever happen as hospital corporations are too

  25. is this within my scope?

    Fixit replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    As an RN friend sadly found out, elkpark is correct. Nurses are highly regulated and held to a much higher standard whether you are on the clock or off. As soon as an RN has a complaint of any sort...
