    tyvin replied to ally6's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in the hospital after my back surgery the doctor took out my Foley but I had to be helped to the bathroom and people were busy. BSC was out as it took staff just as much time as helping me...

    tyvin replied to knowledgeseeker4's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ouhh I feel for both of you. I cut my teeth in a place such as the one you describe and it was a pure nightmare every second I was alive and employed at that place. It's physically impossible to do...

    question about job reference

    tyvin replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Now this is true. There is a place on the application for this and you don't have to say why. Also I think that it depends on which state you live in. Where I am they can disclose the dates of hire...

    Orillia nurse found responsible in $10million suit

    tyvin replied to nic900's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is it because it happened in Canada that the nurse would be allowed the decision to actually institute action for the epidural on the verbal orders of the doc? If so then it was argued that the doc...

    CNA issue

    tyvin replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    She has appointed you as her working preceptor type buddy. Oh this can get annoying but don't be too hard on her; she probably doesn't realize what a pain she is being. I mean do you think she gets up...

    HRC Medical Center

    tyvin replied to SweettartRN's topic in General Nursing

    Do you believe that their treatments help people? I believe it's a personal question you should ask yourself. Do a further search and read the studies touting these treatments as successful. I don't...

    Bed Bugs

    tyvin replied to Prissilla1484's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I take a whole different aproach to this; instead of worrying about yourself what about this poor women? Call your local health department. If your client is unable to get rid of them they may be able...

    Waiting to hear if I get a second interview

    tyvin replied to rn2b46's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Did you send a thank-you for the interview card? Anyway; 2 weeks isn't all that long. Call or email them and ask what's up. I'm sure they are use to people calling to find out if the position has been...

    Unbelievably Discouraged..Please help!!!

    tyvin replied to *Butterfly8*'s topic in General Nursing

    Don't everyone jump up and scream but have you been evaluated by mental health and got a real name for what you have and if so perhaps a PRN med that can take the edge off. Or maybe you could get...

    Pet Peeve

    tyvin replied to MadNursePa's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you; where I am it's considered rude. Learn their name. The look of joy when you call an older patient by their name is priceless; especially when everyone else has been calling them sweetie....

    switching to night shift

    tyvin replied to bdbrdb's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    When I worked nights in LTC of course I pre-poured and started my med pass at 5am and then when that's done you do the sugars because if your facility is anything like the ones I worked in there are...

    Should I go back for the 2nd interview?

    tyvin replied to rshenry's topic in General Nursing

    So it conflicts with your non nursing job. Well what do you want to end up doing; that job or nursing? The only way to start sometimes is by going in slowly. But I bet once you start you will find...

    Eligible for rehire - legal question?

    tyvin replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Do you know why the union wouldn't legally assist them because of being a first year member? In my union it doesn't matter how long you've been a member; they still back you with legal assistance....

    Cancelled repeatedly - is this normal?

    tyvin replied to CranberryMuffin's topic in General Nursing

    It appears that the unions protect the nurses except for one example on this thread. Where I work (which is unionized) we do the same as 86toronado; start with seniority and if no one wants to go home...

    Patients as customers????

    tyvin replied to MJAJKJ's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Moons ago when I was in school we were taught to refer to patients as clients. I do many times depending upon the situation. But I wouldn't refer to them as customers. Yes they are but the terminology...

    Unions anyone?

    tyvin replied to Vonique's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Either you like the unions or not. I myself have been fortunate enough to have been protected by nursing unions at all jobs I've had in my life except for one. In my experience I find the unions that...

    Are advisors suppose to rip you up if you fail the Nclex?

    tyvin replied to julesandjewels's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your referral to suicide was extremely unsettling. You weren't prepared and not all the questions on the test are slated to deceive in order to ruin peoples lives. Your post has several red flags...

    Subcutaneous SQ Injection in Buttocks?

    tyvin replied to jdsp87's topic in General Nursing

    Are her values diminished somehow recently since receiving the med in the Buttocks? What is the physiology behind "not" giving it there? I really can't see why not if her values are the same as they...
