  1. Massive changes to 2011 healthcare benefits??

    TakeOne replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    It's not actually called "Obamacare," you know. That moniker was actually assigned as a derogation by factors against both Obama and health care reform who attempted to indelibly link the debacle that...

  2. Nursing is a 24 hour job, right?

    TakeOne replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't have solved the whole thing "until wound care or whom ever could come and fix it." My experience with VADs is that there is a company name and phone number on it or its case somewhere, and...

  3. Just Had To Share :)

    TakeOne replied to lpn-ny's topic in General Nursing

    Like you said, who did the doctor think was going to answer the phone? The butler?

  4. Help!!

    TakeOne replied to Brunette90's topic in General Nursing

    It is alright to ask your instructor about these things. Honest. Beyond that, still entrenched in the nursing education thread: words fail me. "Runned"... really? As a group, we MUST do better than...

  5. I think I might have done something stupid.

    TakeOne replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in General Nursing

    Don't keep e-mailing your NM. Talk to

  6. Someone please let me know what my rights are for following orders

    TakeOne replied to declappy's topic in General Nursing

    How much experience do you have? I would not have "yelled" at you nor had you in the office for disciplinary action, but we two would definitely have had a discussion about procedure and protocol. It...

  7. Someone please let me know what my rights are for following orders

    TakeOne replied to declappy's topic in General Nursing

    Um, yeah. What was the kid admitted

  8. Do i still need CES CGFNS for Michigan, if i already passed NCLEX in California?

    TakeOne replied to willowRN's topic in International Nursing

    Ask the Michigan BON. I'm sure you'll get the answers to all of your questions if you take them to the right people from the

  9. Failed NCLEX, School dropped me from program!!!! HELP!!!

    TakeOne replied to medeiros808's topic in General Students

    I didn't say her program is a fraud. I said that in my state there has been a lot of fraud committed by sketchily-accredited or outright unaccredited "nursing programs" in for-profit training schools...

  10. Failed NCLEX, School dropped me from program!!!! HELP!!!

    TakeOne replied to medeiros808's topic in General Students

    Oh, okay. So the first year of the program is ACTUALLY practical nursing school, is that right? My state has had a lot of problems with programs like this. Lots of fraud. I'm surprised they still...

  11. Failed NCLEX, School dropped me from program!!!! HELP!!!

    TakeOne replied to medeiros808's topic in General Students

    I still don't understand why you must get your license as a practical nurse to continue in an RN program, no matter that it is transitioning from a two-year to a four-year program. I have never heard...

  12. Your work environment

    TakeOne replied to KarmaComesAround's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Alas, if I had known then what I know now... sniper training must have been an elective I didn't have time to take when I went to nursing school, and they seem to have added spy school to the...

  13. Anesthesia machine vs cart

    TakeOne replied to heathersue's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    In my experience, an anesthesia machine contains mechanical respiratory support (ventilator) and O2 support as well as being a means for administering anesthetic gases which may be used for sedation...

  14. Failed NCLEX, School dropped me from program!!!! HELP!!!

    TakeOne replied to medeiros808's topic in General Students

    I'm confused. Why is your school prohibiting you from continuing an RN program because you didn't get an LPN license? What school are you attending? Is this a for profit or not for profit

  15. New Grad!! Still no Job

    TakeOne replied to Mandy1105's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I hope you hear back about this job soon too. There are so many factors in play during job hunting in times like these that it's impossible to say just what is happening with your application and...

  16. Help finding examples of soap notes

    TakeOne replied to NURSESrMEAN's topic in General Nursing

    Who'd have thought the day would come when we couldn't find a SOAP note

  17. Sabotaged at work

    TakeOne replied to soon2begrad2010's topic in General Nursing

    You were the sitter. You were not the nurse. The nurse made the decision to call security and place the patient in restraints. The family is going after you because you were the caregiver they saw...

  18. AEDs and SNFs

    TakeOne replied to badphish's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As nurses, we don't have medical degrees. And we are far from being the highest degree in healthcare provision there. All of these places have medical directors, and each resident has a physician. To...

  19. AEDs and SNFs

    TakeOne replied to badphish's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    These are people trained in business administration, and most have no medical or nursing

  20. AEDs and SNFs

    TakeOne replied to badphish's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    SNF = Skilled Nursing Facility. There is no reason to copy the AHA recommendations and leave them around for our supervisors to see. AHA BLS training is the only training recognized for health care...

  21. AEDs and SNFs

    TakeOne replied to badphish's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It's not nursing as a profession that's having problems with possible liability issues. It's the administrators and the empty corporate skulls that run these facilities who are afraid of law suits and...

  22. interview tomorrow...swollen face due to periodontitis

    TakeOne replied to VRN-RN's topic in General Nursing

    As other posters have mentioned, managers are very impressed by employees who get themselves to work no matter what. They extend the same sentiment to applicants who come in for interviews even if...

  23. I need two people to respond to this question about nurses and attire.

    TakeOne replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I never wore a "starched white uniform," ever. I wore white uniforms, comfortable pants and tops made of soft fabrics. I liked them and regret that they are nearly impossible to find now. I also wore...

  24. Students in Delivery Room

    TakeOne replied to cali_rusk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You probably are overthinking it, but now you have an idea of how patients feel when students are around. The choice is always yours, though. Any patient can decide that they don't want students in at...

  25. Will Traffic ticket warrant prevent me from being hired?

    TakeOne replied to spider woman's topic in General Nursing

    I read over and over the responses to your post, and I didn't find a single one that was condescending. I did find some in which you were snarky and condescending to responders, however, including...
