  1. What would you make of this?

    laynaER replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

    Okay can we please not go into the whole 'don't call patients honey' discussion because 1) we've already had a long drawn out thread about it (see that thread also started by bluemorningglory) and 2)...

  2. Be extra careful! Posting at internet sites: protect your identity

    laynaER posted a topic in General Nursing

    In light of recent discussions around here regarding privacy, I don't think I can stress enough to keep identifying information (especially here on allnurses) to a minimum!!! I recently discovered and...

  3. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    laynaER replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well I live in city with about 8 million people so that really isn't of any concern to me. Either way, my next post, i think, didn't prove your point. These were uniformed EMTs with services ready to...

    laynaER replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    How? Elaborate

  5. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    laynaER replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know of one case where these EMTs were on duty, in a coffee shop having a break. A pregnant lady passes out, the EMTs do nothing after being frantically asked for help. The EMTs say "Call 911 we're...

  6. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    laynaER replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I still want to know how in the heck can you be sued if you weren't even driving the car? Anybody can say 'oh yea i recognized you it was you in car.' The burden of proof is on them to probe it was...

  7. please help critique my resume!!!

    laynaER replied to SuperStudentNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    CuriousMe, I've always been told that resumes shouldn't date back longer than 10 years so I guess that's how you could keep it to a 1 page minimum. The reason I've been told to keep it to one page is...

  8. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    laynaER replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the poster above me because like I said before. Whoever turned that person in would have to prove it was actually an RN behind the wheel because let other people drive their car all the...

  9. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    laynaER replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    Haha okay okay. p.s. I agree. No way can I do 50 on the highway. People would honk the heck out of me. I do at least 65 to keep up with the pace of traffic, and yea, that's done intentionally but not...

  10. Is Med Surg hard?? New grad. starting soon- not looking forward to 12 hours!

    laynaER replied to Epona's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'd much rather 3 12 hour shifts than 5 8 hour shifts. I don't think I could ever see myself working 5 times a week at one place doing 8 hr shifts. Anyhoo, a lot of the time you don't do 3 in a row...

  11. Our new boss writing everyone up!

    laynaER replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    At what point will she say enough is enough. You give people an inch, they take a yard. Before long it will be, oh I was only two min late...then oh I was only 5 min...then 10, at what point do you...

  12. Nurse shot at Danbury Hospital

    laynaER replied to WondeR.N.'s topic in New York Nursing

    OMG that's scary, lets keep the nurse and his/her family in our prayers. Yikes! This just goes to show that security is a major issue at hospitals. How

  13. Is it possible to work in NY area with an ADN?

    laynaER replied to allthingsbright's topic in New York Nursing

    No prob,

  14. Don't like to say I'm an RN. Long...

    laynaER replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to add that I am appalled by some of the comments being made here by both RNs and LPNs. We're supposed to be sticking together and not degrading each other's positions. If you are an LPN...

  15. Don't like to say I'm an RN. Long...

    laynaER replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing

    to the OP you should never, ever be ashamed to divulge who you are. You an RN and you should be darn proud of it. They are LPNs and they should be darn proud of it as well. Everyone worked hard to get...

  16. Facebook Policy

    laynaER replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing

    In the past when I worked for an industry that was not nursing, I was friends with coworkers on facebook. I didn't bad mouth the company or anything, but they were definitely all up in my business and...

  17. Facebook Policy

    laynaER replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing

    i'm sorry, i still don't get it. maybe i'm just dense, dumb, or slow. if my profile is private, my name is not searchable, and if it is, all anyone can see is a picture, how can the hospital find out...

  18. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    laynaER replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    Who said I was unhappy?

  19. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    laynaER replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    What does that have to do with anything? Unless you're trying to insinuate and generalize that all people from NY use filthy language around their families. Anyway, I'd pick up and tell him once that...

  20. Facebook Policy

    laynaER replied to nkochrn's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the big deal in people knowing where you work. I'm not ashamed, it's not a secret, and that information is public info anyway. You use your name and social for your job so that information...

  21. RN on your facebook name?

    laynaER posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've seen some people on facebook have RN after their name. I personally wouldn't do it, I think it's a bit much. What do you

  22. Is it possible to work in NY area with an ADN?

    laynaER replied to allthingsbright's topic in New York Nursing

    If all of the BSN graduates are having extremely difficult time finding jobs, imagine how hard your job search will be with an ADN. The first thing out of everyone's mouth is "Do you have a BSN?" BSN...

  23. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    laynaER replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think he/she meant that those who broke the law did it intentionally. Sometimes we do break traffic laws unintentionally which is what he/she is trying to say. No one is a perfect driver. I...

  24. ACLS certification

    laynaER replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats to jamesconner! I'm glad you stuck to your guns, don't let people make you feel bad for doing something you feel is beneficiary to yourself. Now you have an advantage over other people. The...

  25. Evolve HESI Book Should I or Shouldn't I?

    laynaER replied to Decemberblues's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought the hesi book and cd. Complete waste of time and money. Did not help me one bit. It's a great reference book, but did not help me on hesi whatsoever. I can say that 2 questions off of the cd...
