  1. Spinning name badge

    MomRN0913 replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    That's nice you have real boobs. OP said BIG boobs, not real or fake. Hey, I have fake boobs and decent sized ones and it still spins, so breast size, nor what they are made of makes a difference....

  2. Fantastic CNA. but...

    MomRN0913 replied to nursetiffany.'s topic in General Nursing

    An ultimatum. Tell her how you value the work she does do when she is there, but if she does this again, she will be fired. She can't say you didn't warn her, and if she doesn't respect you or the...

  3. Another vent.

    MomRN0913 replied to Do-over's topic in General Nursing

    and may I add, it is OK to sit down and have a aide do something that is within their scope of practice. If you were on your butt for a few hours doing it, not so nice. But if you, yourself have...

  4. Another vent.

    MomRN0913 replied to Do-over's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong with delegation. As long as you are not sitting on your butt doing nothing and watching a PCA running around. Delegation is a good thing. There are tasks you and the aide are...

  5. Standard Hospital Scrubs National Standard?

    MomRN0913 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I worked out instituted white tops and blue bottoms. Saying it was better for patient safety as nurses can be easily identified. However, I see no benefit in using only one...

  6. Young ACLS instructor

    MomRN0913 replied to FCMike11's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think that's great. Quite fankly, people just want to pass ACLS. So if you teach the class well, they learn and pass, they will be happy no matter what age you

  7. how do you night nurses do your assessments?

    MomRN0913 replied to redredrose's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of floor is this? On a med-surge floor, where a patient is generally stable...... leave them alone if they are sleeping. Sure, go in, make sure their chest is rising, but do not wake them...

  8. Not hired...because of post intervie thank you note..yes, really

    MomRN0913 replied to Gratefulprn's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I completely agree. I don't think it had anything to do with the thank you note. The former coworker has something fishy going on. I've gotten thank you notes. I always appreciated them....

  9. bad nursing care rant

    MomRN0913 replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Nursing

  10. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    MomRN0913 replied to LookingAhead's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It's a little contradictory when you want to be involved in a protest that basically is about middle-class people unable to get jobs..... then ask if it will keep you from getting a job. Really, think...

    MomRN0913 replied to kaylynnd06's topic in Nursing Career

    sorry to go off on a tangent here, but have you tried dialysis nursing? is it something you are interested in? with hd tech experience, you probably could score an hd position in a hospital, and with...

  14. Diagnostic test results. What do you tell the patient?

    MomRN0913 replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    If the test is clearly negative (CT scan, MRI) for what they are ruling out, I will tell them that. Diagnosis on these other hand, the docs can do

  15. New Grad RN offered Hospital Position & Dr.'s office Position Need Advice :-)

    MomRN0913 replied to kaylynnd06's topic in Nursing Career

    That's about right for Toms River. Wait, is it a Barnabas hospital? I worked at one in Northern NJ (loved the hospital, BTW) but as a new grad in 2006, I started at $26.50/hr. Which is a bit on the...

  17. should nurse managers wear scrubs?

    MomRN0913 replied to rebeccalee83's topic in General Nursing

    It was just the straw that broke the camel's back, sorry to get so upset, I know that wasn't a direct hit on nurse managers. I see it said very often on here, snide comments about how NM's don't work...

    This is a major scam. it has to be. i live in Northern NJ. $10/hr? I made more temping as an administrative assistant in my last semester of nursing school. The CNA's make more than that here. IV...

  20. I've Had Absolutely ENOUGH And I Cannot Believe The Managers I work Under!

    MomRN0913 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    as far as reading "emotion" I am feeling the new nurse arrogance in a certain way. I don't read and humbling emotion. But if it is what you say it is, i respect that. But you did state "well, there...

  21. I've Had Absolutely ENOUGH And I Cannot Believe The Managers I work Under!

    MomRN0913 replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but I agree with RubyVee. I don't think they are out to get you. Those are legitimate write-ups. A verbal warning is a good thing, rather than taking it further. Yes, people forget...

    MomRN0913 replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh speaking of maggots? The hundreds of maggots that started crawling out of the patients nose and trach almost made me vomit. I didn't see it, but i saw the maggots in the cup. The house Dr said...
