  1. New Grad RN volunteer opportunities in CA

    hotflashion replied to luckystarRN's topic in California Nursing

    Take a look at the NeedyMeds website. Click on Free Clinics, then you can search for clinics by zip code or by clicking on your state on a map. I've been mostly unemployed since graduation though at...

  2. Touching blood without gloves

    hotflashion replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I'd rather

  3. Want to get out of here

    hotflashion replied to xandarosa's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to look here for info on Massachusetts health insurance plans: https://www.mahealthconnector.org/portal/site/connector/ It might not be easy to understand. I think insurance is very...

  4. I'm so sorry guys I did not want to create all this mess

    hotflashion replied to mon74's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, do not worry about your English, we native speakers appreciate your effort to speak our language. And are very interested in what you have to

  5. Touching blood without gloves

    hotflashion replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking of all the dirty hands reaching into the glove box... clean gloves are there to protect the wearer, not the person being treated. Clean is not sterile. And they might not be as clean as...

    hotflashion replied to mon74's topic in General Nursing

    Oy, thanks. I get that it's a moderation

  7. Just started my first nursing job last week, is it too early to put it on my resume?

    hotflashion replied to sillywilly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh, even if you're volunteering; that counts

  8. Weekend job wanted

    hotflashion replied to Ginny Rohan's topic in General Nursing

    Um, perhaps the Wisconsin forum? Region > United States > Wisconsin

  9. I'm so sorry guys I did not want to create all this mess

    hotflashion replied to mon74's topic in General Nursing

    This is an English only forum? I can see how it might be best to write only in English as most people here (presumably) do not speak Italian (or some other language), but is it

  10. Touching blood without gloves

    hotflashion replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I don't disagree with you. We don't know enough about the patient; maybe the older nurse did, though it sounds like she was just nursing the way she'd always

  11. Touching blood without gloves

    hotflashion replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, being almost that old, I can understand (in general) where she's coming from. And I do agree it would have been best for her to have worn gloves. I'm not sure I'd categorize it as right vs....

  12. Just started my first nursing job last week, is it too early to put it on my resume?

    hotflashion replied to sillywilly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think I know you. :-) Or someone just like you. Yes, put it on your resume, I've already put it on mine. Anything you do that even points in the direction of nursing, i.e., shows that you have...

  13. Maintaining the license without work, and a general rant

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I do not think I am better than ALL the nurses currently employed, but I know I would be a better nurse than some who are employed and that annoys me. I don't rant in my interviews. FWiW, the PCTs who...

  14. Maintaining the license without work, and a general rant

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have given up thinking I have the remotest chance to work in an acute care setting. I don't really want to work in an acute care setting anyway, I realized this after a year of concentrating my job...

  15. Maintaining the license without work, and a general rant

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah, that is kind of funny. I could work there and then just move in, in a few

  16. Maintaining the license without work, and a general rant

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you for your compassion. I do agree with what you say but find the way you said it quite offensive. At least some of the profs at my alma mater now advise their students to go where the jobs...

  17. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    hotflashion replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Look around Minot. There's an AF base there; it could be one source for diversity in the population of the area. But, if a lot of people from other places are moving into ND, then perhaps some of...

  18. Medication administration, not following the rules

    hotflashion posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm a recent grad with little nursing experience. Graduated in May 2009, worked at a rest home for 4 weeks and a summer camp for 2 weeks. Both places dispensed medications not according to the...

  19. Medication administration, not following the rules

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, then you put the baggies in the cart and deliver them. Or in your pocket while you walk down the hall: wherever. I'm not sure it matters. I'm only asking about pre-packing. In school this was...

  20. Medication administration, not following the rules

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    I'll go with pre-poured. You look at the MAR for Joe Schmoe, pull all his meds for 8a and put them in a little baggy and mark it with his name. Then you go to Steve Schmoe, pull all his meds for 8a...

  21. Medication administration, not following the rules

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. But I'm talking specifically about giving

  22. Medication administration, not following the rules

    hotflashion replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, yes, I wonder that too. On the other hand, my experience at the rest home was such that I believe there can be places that would fire you for such "insubordination" (my word, not hers). (I wasn't...

  23. Standing Orders - URGENT!

    hotflashion replied to campmonkey's topic in Camp

    I saved a copy of the standing orders used at my camp. I'm willing to get these to the original poster. Let me think of how to do it. I can't think of any reason why I should not just type them in...

  24. Nursing Students at Camp

    hotflashion replied to Oojopioo's topic in Camp

    Wow, very proactive of you to attempt this. Where are you in this project? What's the status? I'm thinking about your

  25. New Grad RN's in nursing homes

    hotflashion replied to SunshineRN79's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I thought I wrote about this somewhere, but the end to my particular story is that I worked two weeks and gave my two week notice. The place was dangerous. The DON essentially lived at the facility,...
