    kesr replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I was given a prescription for Darvocet just last month from the periodontist, never need to take one. Mother in law also had a recent script for darvocet after breast biopsy. So they are still in...

  2. VENT- vacation requests

    kesr replied to ProBeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, it sucks - One nonmedical place I worked a senior person took off every Friday and most Mondays in June, July & August. (He had 5 weeks vacation time each year) No one else could get a long...

  3. Weight Watchers at Work

    kesr replied to rn4babies63's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have had it at work; and yes we could get weighed in at local meetings. I never did, but I think the alternate sites gave a voucher or some such for validation. Now it is probably all...

  9. Can a LTC facility do this?

    kesr replied to bckthuzs1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    and remember - fraud is money out of our pockets. Medicare is funded by our taxes - not some mysterious money

  10. the dreaded holidays..... & do you work 'em by choice?

    kesr replied to DayDreamin ER CRNP's topic in General Nursing

    I usually volunteered for Thanksgiving - much easier than long drives, and too much food, trying to please parents and inlaws. My extended family was pretty flexible about Christmas, we could get...

  12. Nursing 3:1 tool update with pictures

    kesr replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Cool tool! But you must have the only ones in existance - go back and buy the last one, you may never see it again. I sure cannot find it anywhere on

  13. Inexperienced nurses in the Big Chair

    kesr replied to PickMePlze's topic in General Nursing

    Probably because they are the full time RNs, and either senior to the others working that day, or being given the experience while there are others around for help. Sometimes "charge" gets rotated...

  15. Rode up on first accident outside of hospital....

    kesr replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a human being I cannot imagine NOT stopping to render basic first aid and comfort. Sometimes just keeping someone company until EMS arrives is all that is needed. I usually do not identify myself...

  16. Confused about which job offer to accept. Advice please

    kesr replied to green nurse lpn's topic in General Nursing

    One more vote for full time, per diem is always dicey. Often they cut your shifts, not add to

  17. Thinking about leaving 1st nursing job after 5 months- any suggestions

    kesr replied to TheEmmyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Unless she signed a contract to stay, she is within her rights to move on. 7 months of a longer than necessary commute - not to be morbid, but accidnets happen. Any employer that judges all new...

  18. Thinking about leaving 1st nursing job after 5 months- any suggestions

    kesr replied to TheEmmyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Go ahead and apply - then if it is offered, you can weigh the jobs against each other. If you get offered the new job and you want it - take it. New grads change jobs, it will not be unexpceted. Do...

  20. What would you do?

    kesr replied to Hystericka RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a legal prescription, and are not impaired, there is no reason you couldn't work even while taking vicodin. Sounds like you are well rid of a toxic

  21. What would you do?

    kesr replied to Hystericka RN's topic in General Nursing

    We'll get "dinged" for any legal advice, so you'll have to decide that one on your own. I'd have quit, too; but you may have been in a better situation to fight if you had stayed. At any rate, they...

  22. Reaching my dream through volunteering?

    kesr replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    WOW - 3 kids, school & work - I'm not sure where you have the time ! But anything that gets you in the door, and making contacts is a good thing. You'll gain experience and insight and maybe...

  23. seeing a patient in the newspaper

    kesr replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I might pass it on, but only say this is the hospital where you did your peds rotation, and it is a great place if anyone wants to help support it. Do NOT mention you know the people in the picture....

  24. Peer Interview tomorrow.....What to expect?

    kesr replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in General Nursing

    You should have some questions for them, too. Peer interviews are more about how you will fit into the team than is a management interview. So what do you want to know about the unit? Topic...

  25. A quick story to share

    kesr replied to Bumashes's topic in Emergency

    I think some of our most meaningful work is with the dying and their families, not the ones we
