  1. Stanford Rape

    nutella replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    It is all around very sad. The young man is an adult who made a bad decision - I am not sure why people are looking towards his parents that much. There is always the question of "did the parents do...

  2. Med error...what to do?

    nutella replied to kh2013's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds that you and your preceptor did all the necessary steps. The MD came to assess the patient. Here comes the real life advice: We all make mistakes, especially when new. You gave a double...

  3. Is withdrawing life support ethical?

    nutella replied to 8130's topic in General Nursing

    First of all ethical questions should be examined within a certain framework and needs to be seen in the context of society the person is living in. Religion can play a huge role in ones understanding...

  4. Refusing a case in home care

    nutella replied to Katesp91's topic in Private Duty

    I think you should be able to decline. Perhaps the coordinator tries to push you into taking a case that nobody else wants. Don't let them push you around. If you know that this case won't work out it...

  5. 6/11 WILTW Unsupervised Chalk Use

    nutella replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Nursing

    Ixchel, I am so sorry. I know how it is to have a chronically sick child and all the worries, dealing with physicians that are failing to be "specialists" and so on and forth. My daughter had febrile...

  6. Refusing a case in home care

    nutella replied to Katesp91's topic in Private Duty

    Is it a home care agency where you stay the full shift with one client? If you are talking about a case manager position in home care - it can be hard to drop a case but I believe that in the other...

  7. I Don't Think He Meant To Hurt Me

    nutella replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Private Duty

    I am sorry that happened! You should report it to management and think about getting checked out with occupational health. This is a situation that can get more serious if that child takes something...

  8. 6/11 WILTW Unsupervised Chalk Use

    nutella replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in General Nursing

    This week was busy like always... Here is something "scary" I read for my graduate studies: http://www.jcrinc.com/assets/1/14/VNM10_Sample_Pages.pdf Also, I was able to actually make a great flowchart...

  9. Going to be fired?

    nutella replied to Meridian2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Given that we have reviewed: - I am a better nurse because I am older - ICU nurses have only one patient - LTC is bullying me -it is all not my fault... I am now just waiting for some vaccination...

  10. Going to be fired?

    nutella replied to Meridian2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To be honest - it does not sound that you are able to perform in LTC. Medication has to be given within a certain time frame and you can not just give 2 times together. After all, it is an "order"....

  11. Can I do this to help me insert a Foley?

    nutella replied to allthesmallthings's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, this is actually a "very old"

  12. Can I do this to help me insert a Foley?

    nutella replied to allthesmallthings's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting... If I was the patient, and a nurse leaves some stuff in my lady parts to point her into the right direction, I would wonder... No, this is not the right way to go about it. It is...

  13. Impaction question

    nutella replied to feelix's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    What you write concerns me on several levels. If a patient signs on to hospice, it means that they want to focus on maximizing comfort and forego treatments. That of course does not mean to let the...

  14. Tips on Constructive Criticism

    nutella replied to sfrw's topic in General Nursing

    It is good when people are ready to receive constructive feedback. But I want to point out that not everybody who gives feedback or criticizes gives constructive feedback or in a tone and setting that...

  15. Best quality care cannot be provided

    nutella replied to uniqueguy34's topic in General Nursing

    Just to let you know - controlling nurse to pat ratio does not automatically translate into less work load, higher quality of care, or less stress. In fact, employers just re-arrange and hire less CNA...

  16. Best quality care cannot be provided

    nutella replied to uniqueguy34's topic in General Nursing

    I think you have a wrong impression of home hospice and home health. Both jobs require huge amount of documentation and not just a quick narrative. Charting is computer driven with software that does...

  17. Nicu to home health. Am I crazy?

    nutella replied to mlang's topic in Home Health

    To be honest - home health is not easy peasy and not a "low stress job". I worked home hospice and palliative care for almost 2 years and a lot of people come and go. It is not only that you see a...

  18. The elephant in the room

    nutella replied to Kssrn404's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is very acceptable to say "I raised my three children and focused on my family - now I am focusing on my career". Just be prepared to mention that you have back up plans in case a child...

  19. Is this discrimination?

    nutella replied to WheresMyPen's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Be glad you are out of the line of fire - why get rotten nerves over something like that? I had family question my competence due to my accent

  20. Possible attendance write-up

    nutella replied to Pedsnurse1026's topic in General Nursing

    Not to be pessimistic but you are on the best way of getting

  21. Dialysis for new grad - pros and cons

    nutella replied to reginalin's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I worked for that specific company but in acute dialysis. Personally, I did not have any problems with the company. I felt supported, the education was very appropriate and my training was great. The...

  22. Working as a LPN/LVN as a German

    nutella replied to MyGray's topic in General World

    Community health is a broader term that also includes home care. No, I do not have a schedule. To be honest, it is best to focus on your education at this point.Just make sure that your clinical...

  23. 2 Months to graduation, I want to quit !!!!

    nutella replied to atthebottom's topic in General Students

    Yes it is worth it. But it sounds that you are having a lot going on from financial problems to feeling targeted, relationship problems and so on and forth. School is a huge commitment. I know how it...

  24. Is Anyone A Highly Sensitive Nurse?

    nutella replied to PrincessNur's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess that being "highly sensitive" must be draining. The general nursing environment is probably not the most accommodating place for highly sensitive individuals with the constant noise,...

  25. Blue hair

    nutella replied to Fireflynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Check with your companies policies. I worked at places that had "no un-natural" hair colors in there and would not tolerate
