  1. Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    nutella replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    As somebody else wrote - nursing is a safety sensitive job. And some medications can be excluded. I understand that there is bias and prejudice - but to be honest, if I was hiring, I would rather take...

  2. Calling All Nurses for Help or Advice??:(

    nutella replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    Are all nursing jobs like that? Your current job is a medication tech job/ CNA job. In my experience, those jobs are stressful in long term care. Nursing is not as it used to be. Right now, every...

  3. Amber Does the Unthinkable

    nutella replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    While Amber's reaction shows concern for patient safety and she takes action, this is a too late reaction in my opinion. Hospitals have to have plans in place to manage fluctuating census without...

  4. TPN in hospice?

    nutella replied to Stcroix's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am not per se against TPN in hospice. But I think it has to clear what the expectations are and if it is of any benefit at that time. Commonly those larger amount of iv lead to congestion and...

  5. Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    nutella replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    There are processes in place when it comes to hiring and drug tests. Having said that - it does not matter much now because your offer got rescinded. To be honest though - if I was hiring and got a...

  6. Dashing a patient's hope or just being honest?

    nutella replied to xanderfan's topic in General Nursing

    This is very difficult on many levels and I am glad that you were able to stay truthful while pointing out that the supplement will support overall health. It is not uncommon for the patient and /or...

  7. Overhiring?

    nutella replied to Double Dunker's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if they are just using that floor as a float pool of a sorts to float people to plug a staffing

  8. Help for an up coming interview

    nutella replied to sugargrovefarm's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    That is so cool! I am glad that you were able to get your "dream" job!!! The core curriculum is really great because it literally tells you the most important things to know plus has a bunch of tables...

  9. Is there a way to speed up Hep B series?

    nutella replied to dbabz's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is the usual. Make sure you put a reminder into your calendar about when to get the second and third shot and when to get the titer

  10. It's a Stressed Out Job

    nutella replied to janemulligan's topic in General Nursing

    I have come to the realization that the way nurses are being treated and burned out is driven by financial interests in organizations who do not care that nurses are human beings. In addition, nurses...

  11. 6/26 WILTW: Littlefinger's smirk makes me feel violated

    nutella replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is just part of PTSD to know that it can flare up at any time and to have a strategy in place. It is unrealistic to expect 100% cure or such but it is realistic to develop strategies to...

  12. Early Morning Nurses (and Nursing Students)

    nutella replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah - that is how adult life is ... getting up and planning your life in a way you can do it. I used to start at 6 am when I was in school because our clinicals started 6 and later first shift...

  13. Germany or UK? Which country offers a better nursing opportunity?

    nutella replied to Joyceph's topic in International Nursing

    As far as I know there is a special agreement between Germany and the Philippines because of the nursing shortage in Germany. Perhaps check out this page, also in English available Als Pflegekraft in...

  14. 6/26 WILTW: Littlefinger's smirk makes me feel violated

    nutella replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience - it does get better. I had some rough 10 years with PTSD that did not impact me too much at work back at that time. I worked critical care and felt very in control though emotionally...

  15. Concept Analysis topic?

    nutella replied to msnstrn6713's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You might have seen this here http://www.aacn.org/wd/practice/docs/practicealerts/family-visitation-in-the-adult-icu-pa-2015.pdf on the last page it talks about patient-centered care. There are some...

  16. 6/26 WILTW: Littlefinger's smirk makes me feel violated

    nutella replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you get better

  17. 6/26 WILTW: Littlefinger's smirk makes me feel violated

    nutella replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry Ixchel - I hope that your son recovers quickly and that you make progress after surgery .... Most of my knowledge from the last week is related to palliative care. Since palliative care is my...

  18. Concept Analysis topic?

    nutella replied to msnstrn6713's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Could you write about the conclusion or what you found out? That would make it easier to think about the concept. Why did you chose visitation effects and what happened? Did they become more calm as...

  19. Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    nutella replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I was a clinical manager and had a administrator above me who did not understand any clinical decisions. And a lot of decisions are based on acuity and needs - both of the patients and the nurses. The...

  20. Possible adult admit with minor child in tow

    nutella replied to Monkey Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    There were few cases when a patient had a child or more than one and no one to come and pick up the child. In those cases I have called the social worker and they call child protection. If a parent...

  21. Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    nutella replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I really believe that it is the dehumanization by management that looks at healthcare 100% with a financially driven

  22. Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    nutella replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps you are referring to the nurses that liked the idea of managers going to a boot camp??? I do not think that any nurse would like that boot

  23. Nurses Humilated - Illinois

    nutella replied to SuburbsGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I like your idea ... Some of the issues that are related to errors in healthcare is "dehumanization of healthcare providers." That includes how leaders manage healthcare workers including nurses -...

  24. Legal analysis of race-based staffing at patient request

    nutella replied to RiskManager's topic in General Nursing

    Riskmanager - thank you for this interesting article... This organization dedicates themselves to modesty in healthcare - from looking at their information it is hard for me to figure out if they are...

  25. Interviewing an R.N.

    nutella replied to DACMEDINA's topic in General Nursing

    LOL - yes, I am a nurse - but, as already pointed out - I can say whatever I want and where is the
