  1. Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    canigraduate replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    There's a Darwin award winner right there. I'm getting to the point where if people are too stupid to live, I'm not as worried about saving them. **Dons flame proof

  3. 7:30 meds? Who is responsible for giving?

    canigraduate replied to Manda92's topic in Patient Medications

    That's stupid. If your manager is being a jerk about it, get some EBP together and go over her head. Especially for the insulin. That's just not safe. Or call pharmacy and have them reschedule stuff...

  4. Arrogant "know it all" RN

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

    You just now read that? "Embasil" is spelled imbecile, by the

  5. Hunting for first job...

    canigraduate replied to liltiger427's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with HouTx. It's probably the perceived falsification of your application that got you. Call the recruiter back and ask if you can re-apply with the misdemeanor added. Be prepared, though,...

  7. Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    canigraduate replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it when patients lie to me. Drives me nuts. I want to believe you have abdominal pain. I really do. I want to believe you have nausea, honestly. But, I know you came in because you ran out of...

  8. Your worst nightmare (Part deux)

    canigraduate posted a topic in General Nursing

    Nursingaround1's thread got me to thinking about the worst nursing related nightmares I've ever had. I have a recurring one where I find out I've had a patient for several hours that I didn't know...

  10. Leaving job off resume

    canigraduate replied to adpiRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I have multiple short term jobs on my resume and have no problem getting hired. As long as you have a valid reason for leaving after a short period, and you do, you may as well go ahead and put it on...

  11. Manager Woes

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

    I'm sorry that's happening to you. That's rough. I would straight up tell your manager that it doesn't matter if you get the job or not that you aren't comfortable where you are and if she wants you...

  12. Your worst nightmare (Part deux)

    canigraduate replied to canigraduate's topic in General Nursing

    I had one yesterday about being stuck at the desk and not being able to run to a falls patient whose alarm was going off. I was literally stuck to the desk.

  14. HELP! PlEASE! Drug Test False Positive

    canigraduate replied to abarry011's topic in General Students

    Your employers do not know, just the drug test people and employee health. They are bound by HIPAA also and are forbidden to disclose your medications. How do I know? I asked them because I was going...

  15. More Nursing Student financial woes

    canigraduate replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I've got two jobs and I freelance. And I have a husband who pays most of the bills. I also set up on the corner twice a month. (LOL! Just seeing if you were paying

  16. HELP! PlEASE! Drug Test False Positive

    canigraduate replied to abarry011's topic in General Students

    Wow, you are overreacting. I test positive for adderall or whatever I'm taking at the time. It's not a big deal. You list your medications on the screening form and wait for them to call you. You just...

  17. Withheld meds

    canigraduate replied to demo24's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't follow this advice. Sorry, amzyRN. Follow your facilities policy and procedure. If they have a standard for declogging, use that. It is best to use manufacturer suggestions. It is a bad...

  21. Doctors Don't Always Listen: Bridging the Communication Gap

    canigraduate replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    But you are understandably cautious when approaching, and make sure they are friendly now, don't you? I don't believe all docs are bad. Many of them are just bad at their jobs. I approach them...

  22. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    You scientists are such nitpickers, LOL! Although, coddling is a matter of "in the eye of the beholder." From my point of view, there is some champion coddling going on here. I listen to what people...

  24. Lost CNA Hospital job

    canigraduate replied to altolover's topic in General Students

    OP, I rarely say this, but you are flat out, 100%, no BS, plain WRONG. You absolutely deserved to get fired, and unless you learn from your mistakes, you will be fired again. And again. Assuming...
