    U is For Union

    lifelearningrn replied to king_of_the_hill_fan's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    And good drivers don't need car insurance.. From the endless threads of mistreatment and misconduct that goes on in this field, I'd join a union in a heartbeat. You will be a lot less likely to get...

    Grandparent's medications pose danger to children.

    lifelearningrn replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I'm assuming they came to that conclusion some other way. Like, perhaps, there was a scratch where she had placed the patch? I don't have anything to back up my theory.. just that it's a possible way...

    Grandparent's medications pose danger to children.

    lifelearningrn replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    As is said with every passing generation. If this were true- toddlers would be buying drugs on the street corner at this point. I can't see that kids are getting into drugs and sooner than they were...

    accidental fingerstick

    lifelearningrn replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't learned enough about the HIPA violations to say for sure (if he is your patient, do you have a right to review his chart and within that chart shouldn't it be noted if he is indeed, HIV...

    accidental fingerstick

    lifelearningrn replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

    Something is definitely fishy here.. you need a layer on your side to get things moving. Do you have anyone that can help you pay for those meds? Until you can get an official documentation on that...

    accidental fingerstick

    lifelearningrn replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. Did they do 2 different tests, one that showed HIV+ and one that was inconclusive? Is the western blot more reliable? Why would she go on an inconclusive result and ignore a positive...

    Hire a lawyer, NOW. This is your life here.. Your superior had no right to give you false results and expect you to just accept that and move on. I'm so sorry you're experiencing

    Grandparent's medications pose danger to children.

    lifelearningrn replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Sure- but are you telling me that childhood curiosity never got the best of you? Or any of your kids? There is a reason children can't sign legally binding documents before the age of 18. If we can't...

    Grandparent's medications pose danger to children.

    lifelearningrn replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I think anyone who thinks this kid was looking to get high or knew the dangers of what she was doing and did them anyway has a pretty dim view on young

    Grandparent's medications pose danger to children.

    lifelearningrn replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Well- one would hope a 10 year old would know better.... However, children do stupidly dangerous things ALL THE TIME without fulling understanding the ramifications of their actions. They are still...

    VolState Microbiology class

    lifelearningrn replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    That hasn't been my experience at all. The great teachers I've chosen because of their ratings have been spot on.. I have taken a couple that had ratings all over the place (some loved, some hated)...

    Doing associates in nursing the same time I am doing bachelors in accounting

    lifelearningrn replied to trustabdy's topic in Nursing Career

    So you would be doing full time nursing at one school and full time accounting at another? I'm not saying it can't be done but it'll be hard. This isn't something I'd do, but we probably have very...

    Doing associates in nursing the same time I am doing bachelors in accounting

    lifelearningrn replied to trustabdy's topic in Nursing Career

    I finished my AA degree in May and still needed two full time semesters of additional classes before I can even qualify for actual nursing courses. During your AA/AS degree, did you take Lifespan...

    lifelearningrn replied to NurseJZ's topic in General Nursing

    All I can add is that I'm sorry you're having to deal with this. People make stupid mistakes when they are young and it really sucks that they can sometime shadow you for the rest of your life. I'm...

    New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    lifelearningrn replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was trying to point out that some people are assuming the interviewer didn't notice she was pregnant and therefor she was less than honest. At 30 weeks, if the interviewer didn't notice her...

    New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    lifelearningrn replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why am I not surprised a man would have this attitude. I guess we should go back to the time of the caveman :Woman have babies: :Woman stay home: :Woman take care of man: :Woman not work: What next?...

    New grad 30 weeks pregnant and starting on L&D department

    lifelearningrn replied to dncndva215's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Um- I'm sorry- It's pretty darn hard to hide a pregnancy at 30 weeks. It is unreasonable, imho, to assume the DON did NOT notice she was pregnant. They aren't allowed by law to ask, and she is not...

    For those a BSN or MSN acquired online, did you face discrimination when job hunting

    lifelearningrn replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Nursing

    That was ONE lawsuit document. The settled it, yes, but it was a class action lawsuit which you were saying you didn't believe existed. And I don't know about you, but if a school has highly deceptive...

    Should you admit you made a mistake when it could affect student success

    lifelearningrn replied to vlr1445's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the instructor made a mistake and passed a student that should have failed. But unless the OP is that student, how can she or he truly dictate who passes or fails? There definitely...
