  1. Can an RN be fired for being immunocompromised?

    TDCHIM replied to lexy3227's topic in General Nursing

    So is your friend part time or PRN? Or has she not worked at the facility long enough to qualify for

  2. Does the hospital have to give us these records?

    TDCHIM replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    You'll have to present proof that you are in fact entitled to those records in order to obtain them (i.e., paperwork showing you are the executor/-trix of her estate). Contact the hospital's health...

  3. Do you think the CDC is biased?

    TDCHIM replied to Tait's topic in Patient Education

    Before I'll buy that, I'd like some hard proof from creditable sources. I have my doubts about the FDA where Big Biz is concerned, but I've never read anything about a genuinely and consistently...

  4. Going to an unaccredited school?

    TDCHIM replied to SusGob711's topic in General Nursing

    Let me guess...Owens Community

  5. How come people portray nursing so negatively on here?

    TDCHIM replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious about the latter part of your statement. Where exactly can you find a manual labor job or a job that just requires a HS diploma that will allow you to be paid on the same scale as a...

  6. "That's why I don't like working with women"

    TDCHIM replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked in a female-dominated work setting and a male-dominated profession. Both had horrid backstabbing coworkers (in varying numbers) and examples of egregious behavior from both genders. No,...

  7. Electronic Charting Question

    TDCHIM replied to mikeworksRN's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of system will you be using? Or hasn't that been decided

  8. Is it normal that being a nurse makes me worry about my kids?

    TDCHIM replied to Guest393655's topic in General Nursing

    JoPACURN, you're my kind of

  9. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    TDCHIM replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    Given that I technically am "anyone," (i.e., not a nurse nor a nursing student, but rather a health information management student), I understand your point. :) I guess I meant that it is a site with...

  10. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    TDCHIM replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I have a different opinion, but that's the great thing about a discussion site - everyone can civilly debate topics from their different perspectives. :) At least no one's throwing personal insults...

  11. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    TDCHIM replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I definitely understand the frustration over the "I have to turn this in tomorrow!" appeal. I doubt that people are really being given one day to do one or more interviews. However, I have to...

  12. Experienced Nurses, I Could Use Your Help

    TDCHIM posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, experienced nurses, I could really use your help with this one. I'm interested in improving my clinical knowledge background. Full disclosure: I'm not a nurse, nor am I training to become one;...

  13. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    TDCHIM replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    That's a buyer beware matter to me. If the student is willing to take the interview subject's credential's on faith, that's his or her lookout. He or she could also PM the interview subjects for...

  14. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    TDCHIM replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if the occasion calls for it, perhaps. Other situations might simply call for an interview with an experienced nurse - LPN, RN, NP, etc. - or for interviews with nurses from a variety of...

  15. Experienced Nurses, I Could Use Your Help

    TDCHIM replied to TDCHIM's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your replies, everyone! :) Okay, I'll invest in a copy of Lippincott's Manual of Nursing Practice - I looked it up on Amazon and it sounds like a great idea. I bought a Mosby's earlier this...

  16. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    TDCHIM replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I'm definitely with you on the homework issue, OP. The approach of going onto a professional site and saying "Can someone tell me how to do x in y situation?" drives me insane, no matter what the...

  17. Going back for BSN and wondering if I should pick up a minor along the way

    TDCHIM replied to Ambitiouz's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing informatics or health information management - either one would be a good option given your stated

  18. A Nurse I work with is faking their CCRN credentials

    TDCHIM replied to Gr8Murse's topic in General Nursing

    How do you know she failed the test? Did she actually say so, or are you simply going by the little "congratulations" update you

  19. Gotta Wear Shades

    TDCHIM replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    That's wonderful! I always enjoyed a 30-45 min drive (except in awful weather) because it gave me time to wake up in the morning and decompress or scream to loud music if I needed to do get rid of...

  20. New Grad with no experience feels like being discriminated

    TDCHIM replied to strawberrypie's topic in General Nursing

    Look, we all know that being told "We'll keep your resume on file" in an economy like this means "Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya" (to borrow a phrase of my grandmother's,)...

  21. A real concern or not?

    TDCHIM replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    Most people may be stupid about a lot of things, but they're smart enough to notice the holes in your current argument. They see health care practitioners using PDAs and smartphones in all kinds of...

  22. Should I take bagels first day of work?

    TDCHIM replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    NanikRN, I personally think it would be a kind gesture, but given the disparity in the opinions expressed here, I believe you're wise to take the cautious route. I also want to thank you for posting...

  23. Dreams

    TDCHIM replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh sure, everybody in a stressful job has those nightmares about work, no matter what the field. Here's a non-nursing example: when I worked as a journalist, I had a recurring dream that someone had...

  24. Total procrastination mode

    TDCHIM replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

    For those interested in reading analysis/philosophizing about procrastination (it could be especially interesting and/or useful to those currently procrastinating), here's a link to a piece by James...

  25. Total procrastination mode

    TDCHIM replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

    Tell you what, iNurseUK: I'll trade you! I'll do your essay (I like writing essays - what can I say, I'm odd) if you'll do my assignment analyzing how web services can help health management...
