  1. Help , I have 2 jobs offer.

    IMustBeCrazy replied to hanginginthere's topic in General Nursing

    Personally I would choose hemodialysis. Yes you would have a lot to learn, but you would be working (from what I have witnessed anyway) with one patient at a time and the hours are wonderful. I have...

  2. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    IMustBeCrazy replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone that cavalier with a 'friendship' in the first place is...get this....NOT A TRUE FRIEND. Ever hear of that line "he's just not into you"? Well in this case apply it to your friendship. The...

  3. Would you treat someone with Marburg Virus?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Actually Tweety, that brings up an interesting question. I wonder what scientific evidence was actually available during that AIDS scare? Obviously not as much as we now know, but still, it would be...

  4. Would you treat someone with Marburg Virus?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I think it all boils down to using our best scientific judgement of the situation with the facts we have or can research at the time. As of now, and as others in this thread have stated, there is...

  5. Would you treat someone with Marburg Virus?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's great that there are those willing to take care of others in dire circumstances. My point really was simply that until you actually do it, it is a hypothetical, no offense

  6. Soriatane???

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Call the manufacturer and ask them to fax a MSDS sheet (required by law for all chemical compounds) to you for that

  7. Would you treat someone with Marburg Virus?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    It has nothing to do with 'nice' or 'not nice'...it has to to with reality. My JOB is to come home safe to my family, first and foremost. There really isn't even a question about it. My work is not my...

  8. Private medical information shared with your boss!!!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to witnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is a BLATANT HIPAA violation!!! Don't be so quick to dismiss it! I would file a complaint because what happens if you ever have to look for another job and the boss (or underlings) happen to...

  9. Would you treat someone with Marburg Virus?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's easy to say 'yes' when the situation is hypothetical--the world is filled with hypothetical martyrs. Which is why there are so few real ones. I know my reality and the answer is a...

  10. Patients You *Know*

    IMustBeCrazy replied to goodknight's topic in General Nursing

    :roll :roll :roll :roll :roll :roll :roll MJ, I can relate

  11. LPN as Charge??

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Nurse Hatchett's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Tweety. This isn't about "RNitis". It's about you knowing and abiding by the scope of practice mandated by your state. There are some states that mandate that LVN/LPN's are not allowed...

  12. Filing HIPPA Complaint

    IMustBeCrazy replied to nursex20's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    back to the op: i understand why you would be upset. i have a suspicion, however, if you look at the contract language that you agreed to when you accepted the medical insurance, you will find (in...

  13. Please explain this nonsense to me!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    If it's a Medicare/Medicaid facility then they have an ombudsman. One nicely placed anonymous note to them should do the

  14. allnurses mentioned in AJN and it ain't flattering

    IMustBeCrazy replied to actioncat's topic in General Nursing

    On the other hand, what is "nice" is completely subjective and what may be taken at face value by one person may be an affront to another. So should we all stop posting? /stops to

  15. What do nursing unions do?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to pickles98's topic in General Nursing

    i grew up in a union household, so i am familiar with that perspective. i also agree that if management is responsive and respectful to workers, unionization would be a non-issue. some of you are...

  16. Diary of a Snowshoveler...New & Funny!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Florida is always an answer! :rotfl: Good stuff

  17. Nurscee's Freaking Out!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    Saskrn, I don't think anyone here believes you're a horrid nurse. I believe I said you are probably a very good person. But you also have to be open to constructive criticism in order to continually...

  18. Nurscee's Freaking Out!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    Sask, I'm sure you feel as though you are being attacked, I think you are probably a very nice person. However, nice people have lapses in judgement too. There is no room for ego in healthcare. When...

  19. Nurscee's Freaking Out!

    IMustBeCrazy replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    That is a heck of a load for someone new. I agree with the others, look for a better situation starting yesterday. To Sask in response to the 13 pt load, I am guessing that you may have juggled the...

  20. My Hands are a mess in the winter!

    IMustBeCrazy posted a topic in General Nursing

    I need help! Apparently I have inherited my mom's gene for cracking/sore hands in the wintertime. I have tried lots of lotions including Eucerin, Vaseline intensive care, etc. I know this is just...

  21. Quit or be fired?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to javanurse2000's topic in General Nursing

    Contrary to some beliefs, the facility will continue to stand if you have to call out. This isn't some kind of perverse contest to have the best "I walked barefoot to school uphill both ways in a...

  22. Intimidation Tactics as Teaching Tools?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Catys_With_Me's topic in General Students

    Mattsmom, you can be my nurse

  23. Intimidation Tactics as Teaching Tools?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Catys_With_Me's topic in General Students

    since you are a supervisor, and that does infer that you have some amount of departmental authority, it makes sense to advocate for training in your unit the same way you advocate for your patients....

  24. Intimidation Tactics as Teaching Tools?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Catys_With_Me's topic in General Students

    I was agreeing with Marie

  25. Intimidation Tactics as Teaching Tools?

    IMustBeCrazy replied to Catys_With_Me's topic in General Students

    I should add... This being spoken as one who has the experience of having been in employee management for over a decade. The most amazing part? I never had problems with those I was assigned to...
