    OldNurseEducator replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    What about taking a med term course and becoming a Unit

  2. Morphine and End Of Life

    OldNurseEducator replied to MelissaLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have done hospice nursing and would have held the medication. Hospice nurses do not hasten a patient death. I truly question the integrity of the hospice nurse that made that comment to you...it was...

  5. Call light response time policy and procedure

    OldNurseEducator replied to MYRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever been a post op patient in pain who has been waiting 45 minutes for a pain pill? I think those other nurses not on their breaks but ignoring call lights out to be ashamed of themselves....

  6. Do CNAs make for better nursing students?

    OldNurseEducator replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I find that CNA's make much better students, but only if they learn to do things the "book' way (there's time after you graduate to learn to do things quicker but using the same nursing rationale!)...

  7. Older mature nurses: How can I encourage my mom to pursue her RN with me?& should I?

    OldNurseEducator replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    At almost 59, I could be your grandmother! LOL But seriously, I have found older people (over say 30-35) make better nursing students because of their life experience. NOT TO SAY THAT YOUNG PEOPLE...

  8. Dream Job!

    OldNurseEducator replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    congratulations on your upcoming graduation! enjoy it...you worked hard for it i'm sure! if i were wanting to hire a new grad, i'd want someone with your kind of experience (working with a patient...

  9. Lost my dream job

    OldNurseEducator replied to shippoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the OP said she HAD ALL but 6 classes. I don't THINK she meant she only had to do 6 classes for a BSN. Just

  10. Lost my dream job

    OldNurseEducator replied to shippoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Quit kicking yourself in the butt for something over which you have little control, at this point in time. Do whatever works for

  11. HIPAA privacy question

    OldNurseEducator replied to nurseandre34's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Then I think it's her job to tell you everything medically, or she should find another source for her medical insurance herself. If you must know, the she probably has no choice. I see your

  12. question: 1 on one what to do?

    OldNurseEducator replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    I thin it's a caregiver in the home (like an assisted living situation). Not a hospital. Some patients need that instead of leaving their homes for a nursing

    OldNurseEducator replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    "Canes" I wish you and I were friends! Awesome post!

  14. How do you tell when being an RN is not for your?

    OldNurseEducator replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    I don't envy you. Home health is very difficult to do without computerized charting!

  15. HIPAA privacy question

    OldNurseEducator replied to nurseandre34's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I don't think the fact that she lives under your roof and you pay her medical insurance makes her any less of an adult with adult privileges, like right to privacy. I say that in all honesty and...

  16. New Nurse Needs Advice

    OldNurseEducator replied to Beedge's topic in General Nursing

    I may be wrong here (someone please correct me if I am) but in Ohio you don't need to be an RN to be a Diabetes Educator or a Lactation Consultant. You just need extra education and oodles of...

  18. Why aren't there better incentives for obtaining a BSN degree?

    OldNurseEducator replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    I do teach in a college program and I hold a MSN. I agree with you. I would love to see studies by non-nurses. Thesis

  19. Did you get their bath done? Seriously?

    OldNurseEducator replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    This thread has lost its original thought. Time to start a new thread about the good ole' days...but let's not forget about the original post here. Just

  20. How Do You Separate Home Life From Work When They Bleed Together?

    OldNurseEducator replied to CMALynzer's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot call yourself a nurse unless you have LPN or RN behind your name. In Ohio, it is against the law and could get you in a whole lotta' trouble! Jusy sayin'.

  21. Why aren't there better incentives for obtaining a BSN degree?

    OldNurseEducator replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    this may be a good argument for different nclex exams for different levels of rn's. just sayin'...we all take the same nclex-rn at the present time. maybe the nclex-rn isn't measuring what it should...

  25. Placebo's & Trust

    OldNurseEducator replied to DJ-Adia's topic in General Nursing

    I stopped and read this post again, more carefully...this nurse, Allison, told you she did this? Do you think she may have been embellishing to make herself look "like she took no prisoners"? I think...
