  1. why do so many nurses post that they love the med scanners

    canigraduate replied to the nites's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm.... I think the OP is higher than any plane and won't have to worry about scanners on the way down. Where to find some Funyuns,

  2. Walking from school at night with deer and no street lamps?

    canigraduate replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    I can't help it. I must add my two cents! I grew up in rural parts of NC and SC. Lots of deer, raccoons, opossum, rabbits, etc. I know plenty about surviving wild animals in the dark. Never had a...

    canigraduate replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    canigraduate replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

  6. LPN being scheduled to work as CNA....

    canigraduate replied to bebbjo's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    She is being asked to work below the level of her license, which has a lot of pitfalls. This situation is iffy legally and ethically. I can't understand how you don't know

  7. Difficult Orientee

    canigraduate replied to ejnjj143's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Find out what her problem is. Is she overwhelmed by the tech? Is there too much going on around her? Is she not processing the info she is getting? Is she having stress at home that is translating to...

  8. Night shift scheduling!

    canigraduate replied to KBRN15's topic in General Nursing

    My current job sucks so bad that I need time to recover between shifts. I try to schedule in a two on, two off pattern, but I stay on night shift schedule all the time when I have a night shift job....

  10. LPN being scheduled to work as CNA....

    canigraduate replied to bebbjo's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If I were you, I would start looking for another job. If they can't retain CNAs, well... They aren't going to change as long as you and the other LPNs continue to cooperate. I suggest getting the rest...

  11. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    canigraduate replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    1) I get the flu vaccine yearly as it is required by my job and because I deal with immunocompromised and elderly patients. Can't pass on what I don't have. I wouldn't get it otherwise, as I have no...

  12. What do you mean you're sick? How dare you!

    canigraduate replied to Purple_roses's topic in Nursing Humor

    Part of the problem is that people call in sick instead of just calling in. I learned a long time ago not to tell people why I'm not coming to work. I just call and say that I won't be in that day. If...

  13. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    canigraduate replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I like teaching students. I just don't have time for you. It's like having an extra, high-acuity patient. Nothing you do benefits me. You actually put me behind. You can say "but... but... I take...

  14. plagiarism??

    canigraduate replied to wolf9653's topic in General Nursing

    Eh. If it's accurate, then OK. If it isn't, then big NO-NO. I copy other people's charting all the time in the computer and change it to fit the current clinical picture. It saves me hundreds of...

  15. Tough point in my life

    canigraduate replied to BearFeet's topic in General Nursing

    You've gotten a lot of great advice. I don't have anything to add other than do what is right for you. Everything else can wait until you are stabilized. There's a reason risk for suicide is always...

  16. Nursing is becoming stupid

    canigraduate posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have had a horrible week and I have figured something out. The people who make the rules are stupid. Yes, my friends, stupid. I have only been a nurse for four years, but in these four years I have...

    canigraduate replied to nianavaRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I did my psych rotation in school, I had a lot of patients come up and ask me inappropriate personal questions. I guess their filters were on standby. The first couple of times, I stuttered out...
