  1. So I went to the Urgent Care to get my 2nd portion of my 2 step ppd step yesterday. My first one was negative. So while she was doing paperwork and before she injected it, we were making small talk and I asked why it made that bubble when it is first...
  2. Credit check along with background? *****??

    We had more free money after filing. We filed and I was still offered my job at a large hospital.
  3. Protocol for HIV partner notification

    Its the responsibility of the HIV+ person to inform the partner before they engage in sexual activity.
  4. E.R Security

    We have a dedicated police staff 24/7 that are stationed in the ER as well as hospital security. The hospital mainly uses hospital security though and we use the officers. Our officers have guns and tazers. They watch the cameras and I have seen the...
  5. Nursing Student Lifetime Lifting Restriction?

    Please do check with your school. We also had to have no lifting restrictions. I hope they can help you. good luck to you!
  6. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

    Some people are probably forgetting that not all ED's are equal. An ED in the rural country will be a completely different world than an ED at a Level 1 trauma center in the downtown of a large city. Gsw's, od's, assaults, rapes, mvc's, police brin...
  7. National Nurse's Week vs. National Hospital Week

    Mine celebrates both. The nurses get a little something extra on top of what is received for hospital week.
  8. lazy preceptor I need help

    Someone always has to assume the new grad is automatically wrong. God forbid the experienced nurse just might be lazy. No.... The new grad must be the lazy one..... Sigh... I hope my preceptor doesn't make assumptions about me based on other experie...
  9. A Nurse CAN be both sexy & smart

    Well, yeah! I've met a few sexy male nurses. To me, "sexy" is a combination of physically attractive and having a great personality. Yes some people ooze sexy but they should never ooze sex object!
  10. Jennie Mccarthy? What does that celebrity have to do with nursing? Totally off track. Life is too short...
  11. I work with families at a hospital in some very emotional situations. When I see someone cry, I find myself holding back tears. Doesn't matter how long I have known them. I don't like to see people in emotional turmoil. There are moments when tears a...
  12. Dealing with frustrating family and supervisor

    Was she on her cell phone? We don't allow cell phone use in patient's rooms. Hospital policy. Even if it's not a cell phone, it's kinda rude of her to be chatting on the phone in her mom's room. Poor mom. Why doesn't she step out to do that? I hate s...
  13. My volunteering is the reason I got a job (not as an RN though, I'm still in school.) It was my way into HR, and it really pushed me through the process. I absolutely do not think I would've gotten a job at this place had I not volunteered there. Of ...
  14. A disgruntled ex calling the bon on me.

    I dont think the BON is interested in your numerous sexual activities. Unless you are sleeping with all yo patients..... I would file a police report. And if he does report you, then get a lawyer .
  15. Questionable privacy violation on public forum?

    No one attacked your intentions. If you are that sensitive, an internet forum is not going to be an enjoyable place for you. Questioning and attacking are two different things. Just as you questioned this nurse, we are questioning you. If you don't ...
  16. Anyone ever heard of anything like this?

    Run as far away and as fast as you can !!!!
  17. Does anyone else feel this way?

    Im blown away by the number of judgmental posts on here that also tell the OP to not be judgmental. Ironic. I 100% agree with heron. We are all ALLOWED to feel as we do. Its whether or not we act on these feelings that determines our level of profes...
  18. Magnet, polarization, ageism, classism

    If you do a search you will see many people going through the same thing when in comes to places preferring Bsns. Btw, my local Bsn program has MORE clinical time than the Adn I am in. I know you are venting, but insulting your Bsn prepared colleagu...
  19. Odor Query

    Is it sweat or just something seeping through your skin. I'll tell you my little embarrassing thing. When I have nasal congestion, I take Mucinex D. Seems to be the only stinkin thing that clears me out. I only take it when my congestion is giving me...
  20. My Patient Died

    I work with the families/visitors in an ICU waiting room. There was one family there that was there every shift I work, since I started working in this ICU. They would stay all day and all night, every day. They were ALL incredibly nice. I connected ...
  21. Hateful, mean nurses

    Good for you for not letting that continue to happen. I just don't understand why people act like this.
  22. About transgendered patients

    GSW = gun shot wound (at least where I am)
  23. Sex offenders/ residents screening?

    Some facilities must do some sort of screening of some sort because there was a facility that denied a person because they had an outstanding warrant. But this guy can't walk and needs care 24/7 so it's not like the jail would even take him.
  24. Being forced to rethink my views on fibromyalgia

    They don't know for sure. It is thought to be caused by overactive nerves or something like that? All I know is that the pain for these people is real(minus the drug seekers- they suffer a different type of pain), and that's what matters.
  25. If all work is done, I don't think it should be an issue.
