  1. "No Complaints Voiced"??

    sweetnurse63 replied to Hooch's topic in General Nursing

    I usually write "no concerns voiced". Think about it without out reading too much into it. If I have an alert and oriented x3 patient and the call light is within reach, then I would assume that if...

  6. If you know someone is going to be fired - do you tell?

    sweetnurse63 replied to Lucky724's topic in General Nursing

    I would not tell him. it would not be my place to tell him and it could create more harm than good; it sounds like he has had plenty of time to change his ways and now sad to say, he has to suffer the...

    sweetnurse63 replied to kyle_99's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After all you have been through to get your nursing degree, why would you consider giving up now? Think positive and study the weak areas that you did not do well on. Mistakes and failures should only...

  11. Is LTC really a kiss of death for new grads?

    sweetnurse63 replied to studentchar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Some experience is better than none. A lot of people get the wrong idea about ltc. In ltc, you use assessment skills, hang antibiotics, give injections, blood glucose monitoring, wound treatments and...

  12. Feeling alone & depressed today

    sweetnurse63 replied to rnbsnmsn's topic in General Nursing

    We have all made mistakes, so don't keep beating yourself up about this. I am pretty sure that other professionals have done worse things. You have changed, you are not a teenager now, you are a man....

  14. Are you looking at me?

    sweetnurse63 replied to Esme12's topic in General Nursing

    I work with the elderly and I always say "age packs a powerful punch". I often look at their pictures when they were young and I am in blown away by how so many of them use to look like movie stars...

  15. Need help..don't know if i should continue nursing

    sweetnurse63 replied to sweetpumpernickel's topic in General Nursing

    You are only 27, why would you give up on being a doctor so young. You could finish medical school and still be young in your late thirties or early forties. Follow your heart:redbeathe but I will...

  16. meeting with manager

    sweetnurse63 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Since you only saw a picc line, I would have talked to the charge nurse or better still, call the physician to let them know there were no peripheral lines only a picc line, then it would have been...

  17. Why hire RN's when other disciplines can do the job

    sweetnurse63 replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

    If this is the case, than every nursing student should be able to legally practice and call themselves nurses right after school is complete. There would be no need to take the NCLEX=PN or RN to be a...

  18. Not hired...because of post intervie thank you note..yes, really

    sweetnurse63 replied to Gratefulprn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I really don't believe that the thank you letter had anything to do with you not getting the job. This job was definitely not for you and count it a blessing that you did not get that job, look at who...

  19. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    sweetnurse63 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I understand that you want to protest for what you believe in but weigh the pro and cons. Is it really worth it to have an arrest record for anything these days. This is completely preventable. What...

  20. Another rant regarding MA's and Nurses

    sweetnurse63 replied to samirish's topic in General Nursing

    The DNP has a doctorate as a Nurse Practitioner as well as a license, but the medical assistant has no license and is not a LPN or RN. It is very misleading to the public and it should be reported to...

  21. ALF 1:85 night shift sounds allright

    sweetnurse63 replied to treeye's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In my opinion, this is not normal for an LPN to have 85 pts in ALF, not to mention only 2 cna's? I work overnight in LTC and can have up to 41 pts and it is not easy. It is enough work to keep me busy...

  24. Fired within 90 days... advice?

    sweetnurse63 replied to blue_belle9's topic in Nursing Career

    I believe when employers do background checks, they know every job you have had even if it was only a month. I have included jobs that I have been terminated from and just told the interviewer that it...
