  4. Yellow Sashes for Med Passes

    SWM2009 replied to Testa Rosa, RN's topic in General Nursing

  6. 4/16 What I learned this week: POD2 and I want my button back

    SWM2009 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    ixchel, I am sending quick recovery wishes your way. I learned that a friend gave my name to the DON at the facility where she works and now that DON will not stop sending emails asking me to go and...

  7. What offends you (nursing related)?

    SWM2009 replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    The "nobody trained me/showed me how to do this or that" excuse to not doing your job especially when you've been working at the facility a year! Being told in report how a resident is so so sick and...

    SWM2009 replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

  9. What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

    SWM2009 replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    Feet, anything to do with feet. Also respiratory secretions, I am one of the many who hates suctioning. I couldn't even use those bulb syringes to suction the snot out of my babies noses when they...

  10. The film: Vaxxed.

    SWM2009 replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    First world problems for sure. I am an immigrant from one such country and I can not fathom choosing to not vaccinate my children. I just can't. It is truly mind

  12. 4/2 WILTW: Disney Edition

    SWM2009 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry things have been so tough at work. The reason I stay at the LTC where I work, even though I would earn more at other nearby facilities, is because of my DON/ADON. They are amazing. I have...

  13. 4/2 WILTW: Disney Edition

    SWM2009 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    SWM2009 replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that I will be able to swing a part-time schedule this summer financially and my boss has given me the OK. I will also not be taking any summer classes. I have made plans to travel overseas...

    No tell motel

  19. Scheduling nurses to work as CNAs?

    SWM2009 replied to RNfromMN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have worked a CNA in LTC and I have nothing but respect for the CNAs. I prefer to work as a nurse not a CNA so I'd let my feet do the talking if I were in OP's position. For the record, I have gone...

  20. study group or nah?

    SWM2009 replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

  21. LPN or BSN

    SWM2009 replied to ahhlexxx3's topic in General Students

    Are you in any rush to enter the job market? Do you need a solid paycheck to support yourself while in school? If not, then buckle down and do the BSN. If yes, then perhaps the LPN can be a stepping...

  22. The sloppy image of nurses today

    SWM2009 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As a General Hospital fan, this cracks me up. Sure its easy to look beautiful with the flowing hair when you don't have to do actual nursing work and have a makeup department to touch you up between...

  23. Struggling NEW Nurse at LTC with questions

    SWM2009 replied to rlhightower99's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yikes - I definitely would not have found that kind of pressure helpful at all when I was a very new nurse. So sorry that is happening to you. There are many wonderful experienced LTC nurses in these...

    SWM2009 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that one of my favorite co- workers is resigning to deal with a very serious medical diagnosis. I will miss her dearly. Happy 2nd year as a nurse to me. Except I am not exactly happy with...

    SWM2009 replied to FutureRN-GA's topic in LPN, LVN Corner
