  1. Failed pre-employment drug screen

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

    A real drug addict would have had the Rx filled in no time

  2. How does it make you feel?

  3. Male nurse crying!!!

    Old.Timer replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

    How in the world can you accuse OCN of making a generalized assumption about male nurses claiming that it was based on very limited info? Do you realize that you have just done the exact same thing to...

  4. Ever accepted a position knowing it was a mistake?

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

    That's a good one. Someone should start a thread with stories of new hires leaving the unit or job for a task or errand.....never to return. Those always crack me up.

  5. Why doesn't the NCLEX include skills demos?

    Old.Timer replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well said JenniferSews. I was not merely "trained" in technical skills but rather, as stated above, I was educated in disease process, rationale of interventions, how to think critically and problem...

  6. Oh boy. Let go from job... not sure if this is it. :(

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

    A kudo was not nearly enough. THANK YOU THANK YOU

  7. Oh boy. Let go from job... not sure if this is it. :(

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

    Am I reading that correctly? OP states that she is having a hard time "connecting the dots" in bedside patient care and you're suggesting the solution might be that she needs a more challenging...

  8. Nope, you're not going to die tonight...... says the hospice nurse

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

    Another former hospice nurse here and I think you hit the nail on the head with how it was intended. As others have said, you do become quite skilled in assessing the process and the nurse was letting...

  9. Nope, you're not going to die tonight...... says the hospice nurse

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

    OK...sounds like it may have just been me as much as anything else. Thanks so much for all your

  10. Excessive smoke breaks

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

    LOL !!! I figured it was something along that line but couldn't quite figure it out

  11. What do I do after my clinical instructor told me I will never be a good nurse?

    Old.Timer replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    Bolding is mine. We have no way of knowing if the instructor is off base in her assessment. Regardless, obviously, the delivery was lacking. Based on what you have shared, I will say that I'm...

  12. front desk job at a medical office ?

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

    To me, this is different than working in that role while going to nursing school. Not only do I not think it will benefit you, I'm inclined to believe it may actually unwittingly prejudice some...

  13. What in the heck are private LPN programs?

    Old.Timer replied to BSN32's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    COULD NOT AGREE MORE .....! I was fortunate to work with awesome LPN's. They saved my butt many a time, especially especially when I was new. Thankfully, I was smart enough to know how little I knew...

  14. What in the heck are private LPN programs?

    Old.Timer replied to BSN32's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    the above bolding and increased font size are mine. it needed to be said again and even louder. thank you esme for speaking the truth. this will likely come off as sarcastic but i am totally serious...

  15. scab nursing

    Old.Timer replied to defyinggravity2009's topic in General Nursing

    I always thought that the term scab was used to describe actual members of the striking union who crossed the line to work. Sounds like it is now used more generically to describe anyone filling in...

  16. FaceRecruiters...New Innovative Way to Find a Job

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

    This ought to be a good thread.........

  17. What info should nurses let a PCT/CNA be aware of?

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

    No wonder there are so many threads by nurses c/o poor relationships with CNA's. If I were a CNA, I can promise you that I wouldn't be inclined to go out of my way to assist most of the respondents to...

  18. What info should nurses let a PCT/CNA be aware of?

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

    I am still "walking around"

  19. This Does Not Make Sense - But happens anyway!

    Old.Timer replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    LOL bolded ...kudo wasn't enough ........:) Also, because there are no pillows, there are no blankets; they're all wadded up in pillowcases as makeshift pillows. That little trick has served me well...

  20. This Does Not Make Sense - But happens anyway!

    Old.Timer replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    PepperTheCat- That seriously was the best thread ever. I cannot stop laughing. I used to joke about the exact same thing.....thirty years ago. Amazing.

  21. How much should I get?

    Old.Timer replied to Llam86's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that just about everyone they test will be "deficient" and require very expensive and unnecessary infusion "treatments. LOL Trust me it is a racket ....

  22. Need advise from experienced nurse RN BSN or MSN

  23. Nursing or X ray Tech?

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

    I have my BSN and 30 years of nursing experience. Nursing has provided me with an incredible variety of opportunities. I loved bedside nursing but hated the five 8 hour shifts a week, weekends and...

  24. Duct tape anyone?

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

    I guess they don't understand that beds filled with patients = a bit of security against needing to decrease/call-off staff, ie their paycheck. And no, I'm not talking about bumping up customer...

  25. Tape Reporting... HOH RN

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

    I think right now she is mostly looking for suggestions that would foster collegial collaboration with her peers to solve the problem. We often create that which we expect. My money says OP will work...
