  2. How long do I have to wait to drug test?

    Agnus replied to cocco's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure it is different for what you have takin and the total amount you took. Different medications have different half lives. And it is different for each individual how long your body hangs on...

    Agnus replied to RNSue's topic in General Nursing

  4. Dealing with a patient who verbally threatens you

    Agnus replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in General Nursing

    I back off as well. A threat should be taken seriously. Yes indeed this was abusive behavior on the part of the patient. Being ill, injured, in pain does not give anyone the right to abuse the...

  5. Help with job application!!

    Agnus replied to givingheart's topic in General Nursing

    If it is not nursing related I do not list it. Not trying to hide anything but gee wiz. It hardly relates. As a new grad there was even a Nursing Job I did not list. And still do not. Only stayed...

  6. RN to MD anyone? Feeling unsupported.

    Agnus replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    First off Congratualtions on your decision to go to Med school! I admire your ambition, and courage to persue it. It is indeed a lofty goal. You CAN do this. As for the naysayers, there will...

  7. "I Come Into Work Sick! Why Can't You?"

    Agnus replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    Uh, 'cause I am inconsiderate and only care about myself. I am about as terrible a person as you could meet. I am really terrible. I really only wanted free vacation time at your expense. Really...

    Agnus replied to ADNgrad2006's topic in General Nursing

    Start where you want. You might or migt not stay there just as you might or might not change majors when starting college. Chances are your instincts are the very best thing to follow on thils....

  10. I don't understand this profession..

    Agnus replied to smg's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it comes from a profound sense of powerlessness. It is all some of us have left. When you feel unapreciated, overwhelmed, etc. and don't seem to be able to do anything about it you begin...

  11. Allowing more than RN on name badge?

    Agnus replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    I am amused as many people are, that nursing is the only profession that feels it necessary to let others know that they have a bachelor degree. In most professions and even non professions a bachelor...

  12. Strange question, but I need to ask

    Agnus replied to Lisky90's topic in General Nursing

    Pseudomonas does not smell like gauze. You have come to associate that smell with gauze because pseudomonas is commonly found on gauze dressings that cover wounds. With freshly washed hands remove a...

  13. **Alert**Our Right to Privacy as nurses???

    Agnus replied to bchboy's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the state says you loose that right when you assume the license. Again the BON is not concerned with nurses' rights or welfare. They are only concerned with protecting the public. That...

  14. Career Opportunities for Holistic Nurses

    Agnus replied to CaliAlli's topic in Holistic

    It is difficult because I do not have anyway of knowing you're nor the original poster's knowledge base. I do not know if you are nurses, for example. It seems like you are asking for specific job...

  15. Over 20 years at the hospital, left and not even a "thank you"????????

    Agnus replied to 27YearRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is sad. What is more sad I bet in thier exit interview these nurses said they were treated well. These nurses and you have recourse. They can write a letter to the hospitals senior administrator...

  16. I don't know how to feel about this

    Agnus replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

  17. I don't know how to feel about this

    Agnus replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

  18. Is there any nursing job that'll make $30,000+/yr for the FIRST job?

    Agnus replied to Matt000's topic in General Nursing

    Well yes if that is your goal to be a tech support person. And if it is your goal start your own company. Get your head out of the box it is in. My son-in-law is a programer. Trust me he works in...

  19. Is there any nursing job that'll make $30,000+/yr for the FIRST job?

    Agnus replied to Matt000's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing IS the major. By the way do you not want computers because of the outsourcing? Why couldn't you work for the company that provides the outsourcing? You seem a little confussed and easily...

  20. **Alert**Our Right to Privacy as nurses???

    Agnus replied to bchboy's topic in General Nursing

    When was the last time you googled yourself? You might be surprised. Just as an aside. I found someone who did a product review on Amazon. I had a question to ask them. I googled them and found...

  21. **Alert**Our Right to Privacy as nurses???

    Agnus replied to bchboy's topic in General Nursing

    Recall the purpose of the BON is to protect the public. IT acts in the public's interest not the nurse's. Some states feel therefore that it is necessary and in the public interest to post this....

  22. My wife's birthday help!

    Agnus replied to slingamabob's topic in General Nursing

    My thought exactly. Really you should ask her on this one. Stetoscopes are very personal and what one person likes another hates. If she is in cardiac and has a light weight AND she is moving out of...

  23. Best way to deal with rudeness?

    Agnus replied to Gods child's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree what one person preceves as rude may not be rude if taken in contex. Obviously this CNA took your remark out of the contex that you were currently busy and this was not an immediate priority....

  24. What exactly ARE the wrong reasons?

    Agnus replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing

    I have to chuckel about money and "seady job" being the "wrong reason>" I wonder how many people who say that would be working if they did not get paid to do this. If it were a low paying...

  25. Never post replies or start new threads at your hospital's computer

    Agnus replied to Captain America's topic in General Nursing

    Boy I'd love just a little occasional slow time. You may feel it is a burden to be so slow. But where I work we barely have time to do the basics that need to be done at work and often not even...
