  1. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

    SCRN1 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you're saying and agree to a point. Personally, I wouldn't want to continue to "live" if there was no quality of life left either. But we were always told in nursing school that it...

  2. my DON called today and told me i lost my job

    SCRN1 replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this has happened to you. As far as the DON wanting to see your medical records, I don't think she has that right if you don't want to give them to her. It's personal. All she needs is...

  3. What happens if the patient is someone you know

    SCRN1 replied to Chaya's topic in General Nursing

    I've taken care of people I know personally. Didn't have a

  4. Semi-private

    SCRN1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    How many of you still have semi-private rooms where you are? Does anyone know why it's not a HIPPA violation? Most hospitals where I live have all private rooms, but the one where I currently work...

  5. Hospital vs Hotel

    SCRN1 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like a nice place to be a guest, but I wouldn't want to work

  6. Only been a nurse for 4 months

    SCRN1 replied to ncriverrat's topic in General Nursing

    Hugs! I understand how you're feeling. Each time I've worked in a new area of nursing at a hospital (3 times), I felt overwhelmed for the first 3-6 months until I became more familiar with the...

  7. Families, are they getting more demanding?

    SCRN1 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it that so many can't figure out how to press the call light, so they walk to the nurses station to ask for water, blankets, etc...especially during shift change while we're giving report?...

  8. nursing politics?

    SCRN1 replied to casurfer's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get annoyed or look down upon anyone for asking questions. What I do get annoyed with is someone who wants to be a know-it-all and won't ask for questions when they aren't sure about...

  9. Can I come visit?

    SCRN1 replied to WaynesvilleRN's topic in General Nursing

    You would have to contact the hospital to ask that question. If you need the names of some of the hospitals around Columbia, let me know & I can help with that

  11. Midlands Technical College Nursing Student

    SCRN1 replied to blackberry4eva's topic in General Nursing

    Blackberry4eva gave some great advice. Make sure to stay ahead or at least up to date on your reading. I used to see all kinds of things on the tests that I didn't hear in class and I don't remember...

  12. What about this, inappropriate or teambuilding?

    SCRN1 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Out of place! She should be glad it was you who said something to her instead of the NM or supervisor. One night, one of the nurses on our floor was sitting there plucking hair out of her chin....

  13. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    SCRN1 replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    Just face it, those who don't like the smell of smoke are not going to agree with you and will justify it any way they can. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I've never met anyone anywhere who is...

  14. Does your hospital have an RN "uniform"?

    SCRN1 replied to RebeccaJeanRN's topic in General Nursing

    As of April 1st, all RNs and LPNs will be required to wear white or ceil blue. No prints. No one else is allowed to wear those colors. If anyone wears a color they aren't supposed to, they will be...

  16. Who got 75 Questions

    SCRN1 replied to nursehope2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took mine June of '99. It shut off at 75 & I passed. I know they say you can fail with 75, but I haven't met anyone yet who has failed when it shut off at

  17. Probably a stupid question, but what do you think about this?

    SCRN1 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    We had patients like that and the doctor wrote an order that the patient is not to leave the floor. When the patient decided to leave the floor again, they were told the could but would first have to...

  18. young nurses

    SCRN1 replied to HHNDON's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no! Not another "eat their young" post! I'm sick of hearing this too. It's never happened to me and I've never seen it happen to anyone else. Has anyone who's ever felt like they were being...

  19. difficulty injecting IM medication

    SCRN1 replied to nurselady777's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I was going to say. Also, what size needle did you use? Did you use the same needle

  20. Coworker complained about her husband half the night.

    SCRN1 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Since she's new there and is apparently missing her old place of work and friend and is unhappy at home, she may not feel she has anyone else to talk to and in some way, she felt she was bonding with...

    SCRN1 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in General Nursing

    The places I've been ask for at least 4 weeks notice for any professional and 2 weeks for nonprofessional. Good luck with getting your new

    SCRN1 replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations, gitterbug, on getting yours under control & the weight loss. I was told not to exercise until mine is under 240, so I guess the only exercise I'll get until I can get it down is...

  23. Any night shift nurses with diabetes?

    SCRN1 replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    AuntieRN, how did you manage with eating on the nights you worked? Were you able to eat a little something about every 4 hours? I work 12-hr shifts and am afraid I won't be able to eat often enough...

  24. Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    SCRN1 replied to misstaz25's topic in General Nursing

    If there isn't any policy against smoking at your school OR at the hospital where you were doing your clinical, I don't see how she can do that to you. I think it was unprofessional of her to...

  25. Scrubs with style.

    SCRN1 replied to Thedreamer's topic in General Nursing

    Be glad you aren't a female. I've had patients who thought I was pregnant just because I had on a loose scrub
