    Horseshoe replied to TNNurse95's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  2. How to File a Complaint against BON

    Horseshoe replied to twins2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The OP went AWOL shortly after starting this thread. Maybe she resolved her

  3. Ridiculous NCLEX Wait Times

    Horseshoe replied to terrafermata's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I honestly have no memory of how long it took me to get permission to sit for NCLEX. That's how important this will be to you someday as

  4. Do I have to be an RN to be a Medical Writer?

    Horseshoe replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above post. You need to define what you mean by "medical

  5. Would you tell a coworker they're going to be demoted?

    Horseshoe replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    These links may be helpful to you. You need documented evidence of what this manager is saying about you. What Can Your Employer Legally Say About You? - Hcareers This service (mentioned in the...

  6. Left my job, please Help

    Horseshoe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I take that back. I just read another thread by an OP who would benefit greatly from your link,

  7. Hostile work environment - Violent Doctor

    Horseshoe replied to Summer70's topic in General Nursing

    The tech should file charges. Even if the doc somehow manages to squirrel out of that situation, it may at least be expensive and a huge hassle such that he will refrain from that in the

  8. Left my job, please Help

    Horseshoe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    That article didn't really provide much information imo. Seems more like an advertisement for Allison & Taylor,

    Horseshoe replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    I figured that whole story was complete fiction posted to be deliberately

  11. The sloppy image of nurses today

    Horseshoe replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Or because I'm too sexy for my

  12. The sloppy image of nurses today

    Horseshoe replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My scrubs never need to be pressed and ironed! They come right out of the dryer wrinkle free. I haven't used an iron is so long, I honestly can't remember the last time. Hooray for permanent

  13. Does this make me a liability?

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

    Because you are so young, I'm going to encourage you to get even more education than a BSN. Get some kind of advanced education or certifications. Consider CRNA or other advanced practice so that you...

  14. Passed NCLEX, not sure where I should start my first job.

    Horseshoe replied to JuliusSeizure's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say I love your screen name, lol. Brilliant. I'm biased towards ICU. If it's too late to get into a new grad critical care residency, give med-surg a try and see if you can transition into...

  15. Sabotaging in nursing

    Horseshoe replied to Dexterosa's topic in General Nursing

    That was your first mistake. You didn't have the respect of your coworkers or manager because you allowed them to mistreat you and manipulate you. And now, they had another opportunity to screw you...

  16. Does this make me a liability?

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

    I agree to be careful about revealing private info on your health to others. But you are very young to have such a debilitating condition. As you get older, you may not be able to "push through."...

  17. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Horseshoe replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    No, she didn't. She came back and said though she didn't agree, she wouldn't put it past some lawyers to try to make an issue of

  18. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Horseshoe replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely!

  19. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Horseshoe replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think many nurses would ever give out OTC medication on the job without an order. That would not be very

  20. bored to tears

    Horseshoe replied to KThurmond's topic in General Students

    I understand that a lot of students nowadays take notes on their laptops. One could always catch up on answering emails, post on AN, surf the web, or write the next great American novel. That's making...

  21. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A new study on the measles presents an interesting hypothesis: Scientists Crack A 50-Year-Old Mystery About The Measles Vaccine : Goats and Soda :

  22. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Horseshoe replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    No they wouldn't. There is no law on the books anywhere that a parent, whether a nurse or not, cannot give their child an appropriate dose of an OTC medicine. It doesn't make her attempting to be "a...

  23. The every year Snow thread

    Horseshoe replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, people, this is amazing. I feel for you guys! We can hardly deal here with 6 inches. In fact, 6 inches is so rare, we DON'T deal. Will you give me similar sympathy when it's 110 in July here?...

  24. Feeling guilty about calling in sick.

    Horseshoe replied to Becca, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Some things you can carry on with. Diarrhea and vomiting is not one of them. One time I started feeling horrible right before my shift. It was too late to call in without looking like a major jerk....

  25. Feeling guilty about calling in sick.

    Horseshoe replied to Becca, RN's topic in General Nursing

    It sucks for everyone involved. In my unit, we had facility mandated ratios in the ICU. A last minute call in would be a BIG deal because coverage must be found. Someone on day shift would probably...
