    Wearing scrubs to the interview.

    Asystole RN replied to mr cooper's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Unless they demanded you wear scrubs I would default to a suit. I would also bring a new pair of scrubs if needed but always default up to the highest level of acceptable formality. Scrubs may be a...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Attenuate the noise or do not use it, whatever. Better than poisoning someone with a pharmaceutical agent and being arrested for aggravated assault, you know the thing you are advocating because it...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what your point is. Do you understand mine? Proximate cause. You should learn the term for home insurance sake anyways. Kid runs onto your property (trespassing) and slips and falls on...

    Poop and the dirty side of nursing?

    Asystole RN replied to dariannarnold's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seriously though, not all specialties deal with poop and bodily fluids and when you do protective equipment such as gloves is mandatory. I haven't cleaned someone up in years. When I started working...

    Poop and the dirty side of nursing?

    Asystole RN replied to dariannarnold's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't get to wear gloves when cleaning poop, you have to use your bare hands unless they have ebola or something. Don't worry, you get used to it. Its the getting it out from under your nails...

    Asystole RN replied to RiRi4life's topic in General Nursing

    You will get out of nursing what you want out of nursing. There are many burnt-out, angry, bitter nurses with many of them posting here (just kidding!) but there are many very happy and satisfied...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Since everyone is looking for a way to identify and deter theft I will make a suggestion that does not involve poisoning people. Amazon.com: Vinker 433MHz Wireless Alarm Magnetic Contact Sensor with...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You do have home insurance right? You see anything about proximate cause? If you put peanuts in your sandwich, with the expectation that someone would eat it, knowing that it would cause harm you...

    Racist surgeon?

    Asystole RN replied to tech22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Racism is rampant in this country, can't believe organizations that blatantly use racist terms like that

    Racist surgeon?

    Asystole RN replied to tech22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know 4 black Haitians, 2 black Nigerians, and 1 white South African that believe the American use of "African American" is incredibly offensive. Are we describing race, ethnicity, national origin,...

    Racist surgeon?

    Asystole RN replied to tech22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You do realize that you yourself are negatively stereotyping an entire region, could be said a specific culture, of people due to your own ethnocentric beliefs right? You see the irony? I attribute X...

    Should I get a second bachelor's?

    Asystole RN replied to Morena1's topic in General Students

    A second bachelors does nothing for you. A masters at least will further your terminal goal. I would consider the cost of the GRE test and applications an

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. Per the TOS, I do not give legal advice. I find it hilarious though that people think tainting food to prevent workplace theft is somehow a novel idea. You guys seriously think you are the...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. A lawsuit is not the same thing as being arrested for aggravated assault. Shooting a burglar in the act is not the same scenario although it does not mean being legal trouble free, I would say...

    Can a nurse lose license for hospitalization due to mental illness

    Asystole RN replied to flava66's topic in General Nursing

    Lying to a BON is generally ill-advised and may actually be illegal. A Board of Nursing is not an employer, and there are states where they do have access to this information. Certain types of...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    There have been posts about poisoning food with pharmaceutical agents in this thread. You act as though I personally care or I am the police, I think it is hilarious honestly. That being said...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Crazy. It would be interesting to attach one of those bluetooth sensors like the Tile to track when the food is taken and who is taking it. Nothing justifies theft but I would caution against stating...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    One day? Was the food there for multiple days? Places where I have worked they would routinely go through and discard any food items left for longer than X amount of days. Would make sense if...

    Breakroom refrigerator theft

    Asystole RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Is the additive placed there for the consumption of the owner? Is the additive a commonly consumed ingredient in that manner? I can guarantee you that if you added a pharmaceutical ingredient to a...

    I stole a bottle of ibuprofen

    Asystole RN replied to charlalynn's topic in Patient Medications

    Stealing yes, diversion no. Diversion is a concept typically reserved for controlled substances. Theft in nursing is a very serious and troubling issue, it is considered a major moral infraction that...

    Racist surgeon?

    Asystole RN replied to tech22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I read the point of the post to be that when evaluating another's actions or comments we must take into account our own personal ethnocentricity. There is a HUGE difference between racism and...
