    Hello from the Other Siiide..what I learned about pt discharge when the patient is my dad

    THELIVINGWORST replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like this type of situation is an unfortunate and potentially very dangerous situation. But sadly, I don't see this problem getting any better. Unless there is a discharge nurse available to go...

    How to deal with loneliness as a VERY young RN student...any help or advice?

    THELIVINGWORST replied to createddaisy's topic in General Students

    I just wanted to say that you are in for a rude awakening when you start working. Free your mind. Devoutly religious people are few and far between so unless you want to stay lonely forever you need...

    Constantly anxious

    THELIVINGWORST replied to sallen55's topic in General Students

    From what I gather, she is a caregiver not a nurse. In the ALF setting it is very common for a med tech to pass medications without having any knowledge in regards to what the meds do. She doesn't...

    Med Surg or Tele? How is it decided

    THELIVINGWORST replied to venousr3tuRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    At my hospital there are no LPNs and there is virtually no difference in the assignment of medical vs tele

    I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    THELIVINGWORST replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    Quit then. If it is so beneath you, bite the bullet and become an MD or

    Being depressed

    THELIVINGWORST replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't get it. I have NEVER felt bullied in my life. People are just sensitive. Disagreement and criticism does not equal bullying.

    New Grad off Orientation

    THELIVINGWORST replied to froggy93's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP, I have felt the same way since I came off orientation. I am a quick learner and I have pretty good teaching and leadership qualities so I didn't really struggle much when I started two years ago....

    THELIVINGWORST replied to Momof8CNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Who do you know that has one pt and one pt only?? It's a q4hr prn order! Not scheduled. Now, I pride myself on being on time with meds if I know that person will want it on the dot but if something...

    Please help :(

    THELIVINGWORST replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, if I were in your shoes I might just guilt the crap out of her. It's not anybody's responsibility but the unit managers to find staffing when someone calls out and if she can't find anyone...

    Woman Died After Being Arrested fo Refusing to Leave Hospital

    THELIVINGWORST replied to herring_RN's topic in Nursing News

    Sadly I can totally see that happening, especially if she was the type of patient to make false or exaggerated complaints when discharge planning begins. SMDH Not saying it's right just not so

    Woman Died After Being Arrested fo Refusing to Leave Hospital

    THELIVINGWORST replied to herring_RN's topic in Nursing News

    I'm interested to know the circumstances of her "non-compliance" and why she was being removed from the hospital in the first

    Can this really happen?!?

    THELIVINGWORST replied to AFNurse2b13's topic in General Students

    You do understand that you're going to a crappy school, right? You understand that in every syllabus there is usually a clause that states that class requirements may change at any time without...

    RN pay in Las Vegas

    THELIVINGWORST replied to hospicenurse2008's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Probably not. We aren't exactly starving for nurses
  18. THELIVINGWORST

    Can you specialize and still do other things?

    THELIVINGWORST replied to Lapishsunsmile's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Since you don't specialize until you actually start working in the field, your question is moot. But after working in OB for a while you may indeed have trouble switching

    On probation for being too "anxious"

    THELIVINGWORST replied to fskye's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My advice for anxiety and depression is two-fold; get on some med to help at least temporarily, I'm on elavil for insomnia and anxiety so I take it before bed, and be confident in what you DONT know....

    How much do you really make?

    THELIVINGWORST replied to AnnaK12's topic in General Nursing

    I would do an ADN instead at a CC to save money but still be an RN then move to an area that hires

    Do you tell family members that their loved ones are nasty and combative

    THELIVINGWORST replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I will tell them 100% in a polite way. BUT the other day I almost apologized to the wife of a patient for being married to him. Ugh he was the living

    Report vent turned mega vent

    THELIVINGWORST replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Nursing

    It's not that the off going nurse doesn't know, it's that it's wasting time. I'm not spoon feeding report to anybody. I don't advocate being rude but some nurses will ask the silliest questions...
  25. THELIVINGWORST

    Advice wanted, as an older RN student, what thing should I NOT do?

    THELIVINGWORST replied to hamsterwheel's topic in LPN to RN

    My advice is don't correct anyone unless patient safety is at risk. Also don't offer up that you're an LPN unless asked, people don't like a know it all. Good luck
