  3. Wasting Unused Meds

    LilPeonNo1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I would like some other input on this particular situation, because I feel it is an important issue and would like to know if I'm alone in my thinking or if others feel the same. The other night I...

  5. so "the state" is coming, and i dont know how to rectify what i did.

    LilPeonNo1 replied to lorenwithano's topic in General Nursing

    If that's the worst mistake you've made, you're doing good! EVERYONE makes mistakes. Owning up to ii, seeing what you did, knowing what to do and not repeat it is what counts. Go to your NM, or...

  7. Second Class Citizens

    LilPeonNo1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    ...No, it's not just me. Those of us who work the night shift, whether its from 11pm-7a or 7pm-7am, are treated like second class citizens. Its as if we don't matter, or don't exist! Obviously, those...

  8. Is my NM whack or is it just me?

    LilPeonNo1 replied to jomoholono's topic in General Nursing

    ...don't be so sure of yourself. as someone who can't take most pain meds i know that sometimes sleep is my only haven. i am allergic to opiates, i've went into convulsive, projectile vomiting fits...

  9. CNAs We Love and Hate

    LilPeonNo1 replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for sounding abrasive, they tell me here in the south its because i'm a yankee (there's a stereotype!) actually got called onto the carpet for the way i talk. told i should probably add the...

  10. CNAs We Love and Hate

    LilPeonNo1 replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    It did not occur to me that what I said might be construed as demeaning. I really do appreciate CNAs, I was one for 10years before returning to school for my LPN and know how difficult a job it is....

  13. putting urine on burns? has anyone ever heard of this?

    LilPeonNo1 replied to KEVIN88GT's topic in General Nursing

    jellyfish stings ...yes. burns...no! never heard of it. but my cousin was married to an inuit woman (eskimo). who use to wash her face in her baby's urine soaked diapers. she claimed it was an old...

  14. Is my NM whack or is it just me?

    LilPeonNo1 replied to jomoholono's topic in General Nursing

    Patients have the right to be completely free of pain..........the 6th right to medication. Although it may not be board sanctioned in every state, it is being lobbied by many. So, in many facilities...

  15. two residents kissing

    LilPeonNo1 replied to Ms.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This is a double-edged sword! I have worked in some facilities that frown on relationships between residents, and others that tell the staff, it is none of their business and to stay out of it. And...

  16. nursing home injustice? need advice!

    LilPeonNo1 replied to babybumblebee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As probably the majority of resident's in nursing homes have some form of dementia, it is always a good idea to check their mouths for cheeking or pocketing before leaving them, especially when...

  17. Second Class Citizens

    LilPeonNo1 replied to LilPeonNo1's topic in General Nursing

    Not jealous, but very peeved. Your reply suggests as well that night nurse's are not busy...that's just it. We are. And, we have time (all of 3 seconds) to put a date on a bottle. So yes, that is...

  18. Can an LPN train/precept and RN?

    LilPeonNo1 replied to yfloridanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am an LPN in LTC and I absolutely refuse to precept and RN for the position. I don't feel I am qualified to tell someone with more extensive education than mine what, how and why to do

  19. my first job interview experience and shocking work environment

    LilPeonNo1 replied to nurse_dot's topic in General Nursing

    I strongly disagree. As a nurse, your license is put on the line every day. One small infraction could impose serious sanctions on your license. And, the amount of money it costs for an education in...

  20. Mini Rant

    LilPeonNo1 replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    GUILTY! I do it all the time, its just where my fingers hit the keys on the board. It seems more comfortable to hit two p's than it does to hit two a's. And, if that's the most stressful thing in...

  21. Do you form outside relationships with your patients?

    LilPeonNo1 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    With HIPPA regulations being what they are, and many facilities having policies regarding this, I would not think it a good idea to mix personal life with professional. Though you may mean well,...

  22. Afebrile, profuse diaphoresis, pleuritic pain: WHY?

    LilPeonNo1 replied to Sterlink's topic in General Nursing

    TB is a real possibility with no fever, but also could be, at age 64, his/her core temp may be lower and 98 or above could be febrile in this patient. Having worked in geriatrics most of my career, I...

  23. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    LilPeonNo1 replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    ATTITUDE, they all seem to have it. I used to hate having to call a doctor to get orders on patient, especially when I worked nights (they can be sooooo rude!). But older is sometimes wiser, and...

  24. My God, these family members!!

    LilPeonNo1 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel your pain! I left a hospital job that paid well and had the perfect hours for me, because I couldn't deal with being a nursemaid to family members. I am not one to hold my tongue about...

  25. HIPAA violation wanted more responses

    LilPeonNo1 replied to pollyanna83's topic in General Nursing

    There is no HIPPA violation from what you have posted here. It sounds more like the NM wanted to avoid the appearance of a violation, by removing her from the floor to another unit. Whether it is in...
