  1. What would you have done?

    Are you serious??
  2. Would you marry a Doctor?

    If we loved each other and he asked me to marry him.
  3. Is this a productive management style?

    If I worked there, I would be sorely tempted.....not saying I would actually go thru with it, but that person would sure be making me think about it..... to just come in when I was very sick just like she/he wants....and make sure I do some heavy cou...
  4. Outraged by no more privacy

    I received my first LPN license from California in '75 and had to be fingerprinted then.....so this is not new. Maybe new for some states, but it has been around for awhile. And if they have your social security # they already know practically every...
  5. not what I bargained for

    My graduating year was '75 and I still remember how we were lied to. 5 patients at the most. Yeah....right! All I can say is I hope you have some good comfortable shoes. I'm retired now.....I'm not not sure if I will ever go back to work or not. Al...
  6. Privacy rules don't save patients from exposure

    thanks for your reply, but i never said i wanted to make her lose her job. i was just trying to figure out if it was really something that might need be brought to the hospital administrations attention of a possible privacy breech. my only thought...
  7. Privacy rules don't save patients from exposure

    Here is an incident I observed just very recently, last week in fact. I had to take my mother to a hospital in the capital city of my state, for a CT scan. While I was waiting in the x-ray waiting area for her, a worker....I assumed it was an x-ray ...
  8. Is my supervisor trying to get me to quit?

    I'm only an LPN, not an RN with the supervisory experience most of you have..... but I worked under a supervisor from whom I received some of the same treatment that OP received when she tried to talk to her about her problem. And my opinion is that...
  9. Staff nurses and their bad attitudes

    Oh, ok, sorry for the misspelling. But you get my point! It was very funny. All that eye rolling.....I really hate it when I see people do that eye rolling thing. Such a put down, but it really does reflect upon the one DOING it more than the inten...
  10. Staff nurses and their bad attitudes

    That eye rolling thing gets me, too. I had a nurse manager who did that. She would do it in front of people, behind people's backs, in meetings, etc. Once, a co-worker copied a picture of a guy out of a medical dictionary.....the diagnosis of his p...
  11. is this considered a drug diversion?

    I'm thinking it is obvious then, that the narcotic is still full...obvious that none has been removed? Otherwise how would you know it is still full if the sheet is missing? {Maybe the label had the count on it, also, so it could be counted from ther...
  12. I prefer working with new grads,or non-hospital nurses

    That's a good possibility. It is one thing that can bring down the moral of the unit very quickly. I worked under one and it was horrible.
  13. CE credits online......

    I use this one. I sign up for the year preceding my license renewal and work on it that year. If I time it just right, part of my subscription year goes over on the next calendar year and I could get the CEU's for the next renewal and have it in the ...
  14. so I blush really bad...

    Tell em you're going thru the" change". (I am going thru the change and I get flushed quite often). For a female it sounds like a plausible enough reason. Just laugh it off and say, "Oh another one of those hot flashes! Gee, it's hot as blazes in ...
  15. A legality question about pay

    Several people have given different scenarios of what might be happening with your mother's time and pay of which any one of them could be true. But I have one suggestion.....if I'm reading your original post right...... if your mom is actually work...
  16. ER trys to redirect non-emergency care

    I think it's a great idea, too, but just asking a question.....I thought it was federal law that hospital ED's had to see everyone who came thru the doors seeking treatment, emergency or not, whether they could pay or not. So with the urgent care ce...
  17. Leave me alone when I'm passing meds!!!!!

    This is one of the main reasons I quit my part time job in a LTC. And I do NOT miss it.
  18. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    Very true. You can always tell who the repeat offenders are. I don't call in sick much. I get to take alot of time off, but I don't call in sick, very rarely, I've been blessed. The year is almost half gone now, and I have not even taken one sick da...
  19. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    I had to use the excuse "dog died" because it was true. My dog was old, got sick that weekend, stayed up with him for almost a night and a day, very little sleep for me, and had to have him put to sleep later that weekend. I was not fit in any way to...
  20. Med Errors vs being "slow"?

    20 residents, 3 charts to do, and NO treatments? Wow. She ought to be breezing thru her day. Unbelievable that she can't get her work done and then do her flirting and smoking. I had a supervisor once tell me I was going to have to go give part of ...
  21. Do you agree that Nurses are on the Worst Driver List?

    Dude.........I DID read it. Geeeez.........seems you're the one getting all worked up.
  22. Do you agree that Nurses are on the Worst Driver List?

    That's ridiculous. So if I get a career that is not in the top ten list of worst drivers by profession, that will make me a better driver? Give me a break.
  23. Your Pet Peeves in Nursing..

    Have a co-worker who used to use the term "baby" to talk to me or other co-workers. I have no idea why she did that. It has stopped tho and I'm glad. It just may be one of her weird things she does tho, because she will also answer a question with ...
  24. What was minimum wage when you first started?

    Fresh out of LPN school, Arkansas, 1975, and was going to start in ICU, @ $2.75/hr, @ St. Joseph's Hospital. But we moved to California. and my first job as an LPN, @ Long Beach Community Hospital and I cannot remember what they started me out there...
