  1. 2 cents?

    TakeOne replied to carbaminohemoglobin's topic in General Nursing

    To me, it sounds like you did just fine. I'd have called the pharmacist and the doc too if I had these same events to deal with. The only thing I might have (might have) done differently is check the...

  2. Job Application... I need it to STAND OUT in the croud!!! Help!!!

    TakeOne replied to Katria's topic in General Nursing

    What is the position that you're applying for? It might help us to know. Your experience seems, overall, quite run of the mill and could be on any nurse's resume or job application. I'm not sure that...

  3. Hiring Staff? When Did That Become My Job?

    TakeOne replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    Somewhat off-topic: If the girl was stopped and paid for the juice before she left the store, there should not have been charges pressed. Moreover, if she was twelve at the time, there should have...

  4. As if nursing isn't hard enough, this comment appeared in a local newpaper by "none"

    TakeOne replied to latebloomernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, in most areas the minimum requirement for teachers is the Master's Degree. They can be hired with a Bachelor's but must be actively in a Master's program already, or commit to achieving...

  5. co-worker making me crazy

    TakeOne replied to NamasteNurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's sad commentary on the state of the workplace, but your the "she is friends with the DON" sealed your fate as far as this nudgy coworker is concerned. Unless she does something that compromises...

  7. Ambu bags (inpt)

    TakeOne replied to LouisVRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I've worked in med/surg, we've had them in every room (two in every room for semi-private rooms), plus one on the code cart and another in the supply

  8. So tired of crappy treatment by seasoned nurses!

    TakeOne replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    What I've seen also among the new nurses/new hires (because it's not just new nurses who do these things) who complain that they don't get enough instruction and attention from the other nurses on the...

  11. So tired of crappy treatment by seasoned nurses!

    TakeOne replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe that is so, but the picture of you that I got from your post is that you have a large chip on your shoulder and most of the "crappy" treatment you think your you're getting arises from...

  12. What so you think is the biggest problem in Health Care?

    TakeOne replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe, but I'm with the others who feel that it's the people at the top of each corporate heap who have been sucking the system dry for the last few decades. That's what I've been seeing for more than...

  13. Cherry Ames (Nurse) Stories

    TakeOne replied to Guest717236's topic in General Nursing

    And so sincerely... sincere! That's how it was in those days. Ideally, girls graduated from high school with engagement rings already on their fingers. They would either marry right away, or would...

  14. NYC residents! What are the best Nursing Homes in NYC?

    TakeOne replied to grateful2010's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Uh, that is a good question! It's kind of hard to miss, especially given its rebirth over the last decade. However, I have a friend who lived in and worked in Manhattan for more than twenty years and...

  16. any safety tips on doing blood draw on elderly dementia patient?

    TakeOne replied to pear8's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Also, find out if you really need to draw full-sized tubes or could the same tests be done using pediatric tubes or even capillary samples. Smaller sample size can speed up at least that part of the...

  17. Is it realistic that I'll make 80-100,000 thousand after I graduate with associates.

    TakeOne replied to Awright162's topic in General Nursing

    There are so many employers who don't bother with the BSN differential

  18. Do you work in a Neighborhood/Household LTC model?

    TakeOne replied to withasmilelpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I still can't understand how the model is supposed to work successfully when it flies in the face of survey protocols, food handling and commercial kitchen regulations, environmental and life/safety...

  20. Major career and life crossroads

    TakeOne replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the response. I have an ex coworker who has finally had to pack it in due to the effects of severe COPD. She soldiered on for as long as she could, but it finally became too difficult just...

  21. Major career and life crossroads

    TakeOne replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I'm asking again. I have a good reason to want to know: how long did it take for them to approve your SSD after you submitted your application? I am so sorry that things have gone so badly for...

  23. Major career and life crossroads

    TakeOne replied to dthfytr's topic in General Nursing

    In that case, you are VERY lucky. I've held both of those positions and watched other nurses in the same positions in other facilities, and believe me when I tell you that I and they were pulled to...

  24. Question regarding lack of bed bath in ICU

    TakeOne replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing
