Norovirus - Help me calm my fears!!

OCNRN63 replied to justanurse95's topic in Geriatric, LTC

I can't help you either, other than to d the basic infection control measures. I had it once and wound up hospitalized. I wouldn't want that

Another reason unions suck!

OCNRN63 replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

Unfortunately, many people are selfish, caring only about themselves. It's an "I've got mine, nuts to you"
Medical Assistant as school nurse

OCNRN63 replied to smileitout's topic in School

You are not working as a school nurse because you are not a nurse. You should not be presenting yourself as something you are not.
Outpatient Clinic vs. Floor- What's the Difference?

OCNRN63 replied to littlenewnurse's topic in General Nursing

A lot depends on what you're going to be doing there. Will you be giving chemo/biologics? That takes a lot of knowledge; you're not just dealing with cancer, but every body system as well. I'm...
Another reason unions suck!

OCNRN63 replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

If you stay at that job, eventually you will be in the position to get more out of being a union member. I see no problem with giving staff who have seniority more opportunities regarding benefits....

Thanks. I'm surprised at how many people confuse diffuse with
CNA's ARE NOT MAIDS!!!!!!!!!

OCNRN63 replied to tushka61's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

What exactly do you expect to do if you are there for several hours? Once you help the patient with bathing/personal care, dressing and meals you've still got quite a bit of time left over. When I...

Hey REDDICKD, would you please use the quote function so we know which poster you're responding to? There are several of us here who have power
Difficulty Accessing A Port

OCNRN63 replied to REDDICKD's topic in General Nursing

My port has been in for almost 5 years. I have had 2 different oncologists; neither one has said I had to have my port removed because it was nearly 5 years old. I have very little pain when it's...
Unhappy Speech Pathologist

OCNRN63 replied to SLPrnTobe's topic in General Nursing

I had the same thought: if you're unhappy now, nursing isn't going to be a good career switch. If you go the AMSN route, when you graduate you will still be considered a new nurse. Having two MSNs...

The every year Snow thread

OCNRN63 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

Kind of hard to time your driving with when a tractor trailer is going to be going the same direction you are, and at the same time. Also, it won't do you any good when you get the kind of snow some...
The sloppy image of nurses today

OCNRN63 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

It doesn't matter how long they last. If you're willing to use one recreational drug, odds are you'll be willing to try another, "just this once," then again and again. Focus more on yourself rather...
Buying a new car for a new nurse ??

OCNRN63 replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

If you're going to get another car, don't waste your money on a brand new car. Get one that was either leased or traded in after a few years. I would take a look at Consumer Reports; they have an...
Hospital that bans family members

OCNRN63 replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

I remember working at one hospital that would announce at 2000: "Visiting hours are now over. Thank you for visiting our patients. Please have a safe journey home." I thought that was a polite way...
could get fired!

OCNRN63 replied to RNmoms's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
