  2. doctor's office accessing of scripts

    Old.Timer replied to morte's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The only thing surprising to me is that so many seem genuinely surprised at the accessibility of their info within the healthcare

  3. My co-worker stinks like gin every morning!

    Old.Timer replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    She picked herself up and game on in. I went around the corner to phone the admin on call. I stalled waiting for admin and HR to get there . This was back in the days of narc keys and med carts. We...

    Old.Timer replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    i was in a similar situation years ago. i worked evenings. every so often, i had slight suspicions about the night nurse. however, i was nowhere near confident enough in my suspicions to risk...

  5. Didn't Receive paycheck

    Old.Timer replied to TheOracle's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought also was that it was pressure to do direct deposit. But the previous checks with shortages , wrong pay, no signature etc scream financial trouble or someone is dipping into the pot...

  7. The Mockery of Nursing

    Old.Timer replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I said it was gone, I just assumed it was removed. Am I the only one that had absolutely no idea that there was an entire forum on AN dedicated exclusively to nursing with a criminal history?...

  8. nursing policy on handling infant that is not bathed

    Old.Timer replied to kms6417's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Stick around long enough, it'll go full circle again. Anyone remember Leboyer? Years ago when that was all the rage, some parents were absolutely convinced that their child would not be well adjusted...

    Old.Timer replied to kms6417's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A friend of a friend of a friend said it was a good idea and that they should include it in their birth plan. I posted prior to reading the full thread and seeing that several people have specific...

  10. The Mockery of Nursing

    Old.Timer replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh my gosh, too funny. That's exactly what I thought about

  11. The Mockery of Nursing

    Old.Timer replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's gone now. I didn't initially realize it was OP's first post so more than likely, someone was bored this afternoon. You're right, the willingness of others to jump in and defend is amazing. As...

    Customers

  14. Will I ever get over this? Personally or professionally.

    Old.Timer replied to DoodabuzzRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am absoultely petrified of and for the nurse that does not fully appreciate the ramifications and potential for very severe consequences that can be caused by their action or inaction. You clearly...

  15. Abusive Doctors

    Old.Timer replied to MJB2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I woudl use my old stand-by....... If they are ranting and raving, I simply tell them to please call me back or come find me when they are no longer agitated. Agree with the peer approach.I've seen...

  16. Abusive Doctors

    Old.Timer replied to MJB2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The ALL TIME BEST response I heard to the above scenario was on this board. BUT nursing admin had the staff's back, which doesn't seem to be the case here. The NM put a sign up in the staff lounge...

  17. The Mockery of Nursing

    Old.Timer replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seriously, what a true mockery nursing has become when veterinary techs feel qualified to post and weigh in on the issues, concerns and difficulties facing the professional nurse today. I don't care...

  18. Is this illegal?

    Old.Timer replied to markfish's topic in Nursing Career

    On call means exactly that. If they want or need you to work they will call you. If not, they don't call. There is no legal recourse just because they stop calling. Crappy, but not

  19. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Old.Timer replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is misleading to lump SSRI's, which are the majority of anti-depressants prescribed, and benzos together. Apples and oranges. I believe if someone's anxiety is significant enough to require...

  20. How Do I tell my current job that I need time off for 1 month to work as a camp nurse

    Old.Timer replied to careo180's topic in Nursing Career

    How do I tell my current job that I need time off for a month? Same way that your current job will tell you that you've lost your marbles and need you to be at

  21. Workplace Conflict

    Old.Timer replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I admire you for recognizing that there is a problem and seeking to find a solution. That's huge. I can only share what I have observed in the workplace. Often, when someone is constantly feeling...

  22. Does an obese nurse set a bad example?

    Old.Timer replied to sheyoung's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OP, I don't think your question pertains at all to whether the nurse can pull her fair share at work but that is where the responses and comments are headed. "Bad example" What do you mean by that??...

  23. I'm SN, but I Can't Handle The Other Students

    Old.Timer replied to SirSpyCat's topic in General Nursing

    Not so fast..........we'll first take a vote and let you know if we think you have anything to offer us

  24. HIPAA help

    Old.Timer replied to 2greeneyes's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  25. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    Old.Timer replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I am a proponent of the role of the nurse practitioner and the unique value they can bring to healthcare. I get the point you are trying to make by listing all your skills. I'm not suggesting that...
