    Health office software

    KelRN215 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    We used SNAP when I worked per diem in the boarding school. I remember it being fairly straightforward/user

    Do you ever get concerned about certain users on here?

    KelRN215 replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    Specific posters were named in the lawsuit. The information is all easily accessible through Google since court documents are a matter of public

    Nursing compact licensure

    KelRN215 replied to Chrish87's topic in General Nursing

    As I understand it, you can only work as a nurse in George with your Wisconsin license if your permanent residence is in Wisconsin. If you're moving to Georgia, you must obtain a Georgia license. Also...

    She called my MOTHER!!!

    KelRN215 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is a really good argument for keeping your work life and your personal life completely separate. I will never work in my hometown for this reason. I did for a summer in nursing school and had to...

    2 full-time jobs?

    KelRN215 replied to anna225's topic in General Nursing

    Working 2 full-time jobs would be logistically challenging because of things like weekend, holiday and (possibly) rotation requirements. In my area of the country, all the large teaching hospitals...

    Do you ever get concerned about certain users on here?

    KelRN215 replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly the poster I thought of when I saw the title of this thread (if we're thinking about the same person and I'm pretty sure we are). I get concerned about students who make posts like...

    If your manager falsely accused you of something

    KelRN215 replied to Ad515's topic in General Nursing

    Honest question- what do you think the CEO is going to do? The CEO doesn't have time to concern himself with a he said/she said situation between a former employee and a manager. I doubt the CEO would...

    new staffing laws in mass? CA nurses

    KelRN215 replied to lorie101's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think this? And why do you think not filling such a position if someone leaves wouldn't count as "reducing ancillary staff", which the law specifically prohibits? The No on 1 commercial...

    new staffing laws in mass? CA nurses

    KelRN215 replied to lorie101's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you only be able to work 8 hr shifts instead of 12 hrs? That makes no sense. You need more nurses to staff 8 hour shifts since you have to staff 3 shifts/day instead of 2. The people who are...

    Documentation Error

    This is a good example of why verbal orders are not best practice. Despite Technology, Verbal Orders Persist, Read Back is Not Widespread, and Errors Continue | Institute For Safe Medication Practices...

    Question About References

    KelRN215 replied to PartyTheNightAway's topic in General Nursing

    Usually references are called after your interview when the facility is pretty sure they want to extend you an offer. They're not going to waste time calling references before an interview, they might...

    KelRN215 replied to mi_dreamin's topic in Pediatric

    If you have professional experience working with children it will be an easier transition. If and when you get an interview just tell them that you worked in med surg for 2 years because it was a good...

    Infant vs. school-aged unit

    KelRN215 replied to woodnymph's topic in Pediatric

    Infant unit will probably be a lot of congenital malformations, school aged unit could be anything. Honestly I worked in a pediatric hospital and the floors were separated by specialty, not age, so...

    Uh, what?

    KelRN215 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    This is a good argument for not being friends with coworkers on facebook. I am not friends with anyone I currently work with and only added people from my last job after I'd given my notice. There is...

    Question re: bed bugs, etc

    Not neglect and I doubt such a report would even make it past the screener if anyone tried to call CPS to make such a claim in my state. Bed bugs can happen to

    Facility that will crush chemo drug

    KelRN215 replied to ashleycancerfighter's topic in Oncology

    I agree SNFs don't have chemo hoods or chemo pharmacists. What's to stop your family from stopping in and giving her the medication though? Is your aunt competent? You could also look into a chemo...

    Please Give ME any Good Reason to Stay in the Nursing Field

    KelRN215 replied to ToNurseOrNot's topic in General Nursing

    I actually have a former colleague who did just that. I think she earned 6 figures from her business though. She designs high end events, she won some award for designing a wedding that had a budget...

    Switching to night shift sleep schedule

    KelRN215 replied to eric3148's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked nights, I typically was up for 24 hours on the day of my first night. Woke up like normal at 8am, went into work at 7pm, worked 12 hrs, came home, fell asleep and slept until 12-1pm....

    KelRN215 replied to lorie101's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, was going to reply this to the OP but I see someone beat me to it. Many of the people I went to college with have posted being vehemently against the law- they all work for MGH and I suspect MGH...

    Working as RN for the state vs hospital

    KelRN215 replied to NewNurse1997's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. As a new grad, I started with 240 hrs/year of PTO. That's actually more than 6 weeks when you only work 36 hrs/week. Everyone who worked 30+ hours/week got that much. Salaried people had to use...
