  1. Relationship problems

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I do the same with my husband when he goes off on a road trip with his buddies. After he drives off, I stop waving goodbye, put both arms up towards the sky, and say "YES!!!" Then I put my jammies on,...

  2. Relationship problems

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but that's complete and utter

  3. My apologies

    Horseshoe replied to YellowMaskrosbarn's topic in General Nursing

    SmilingBlueEyes, I was thinking she said that to CelticGoddess. But in any case, she owes you both an apology. I'm actually surprised that post wasn't removed and a stern warning

  4. My apologies

    Horseshoe replied to YellowMaskrosbarn's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so I had to investigate to figure out to what you are referring, and I found your now closed thread. I'd like to point out that your inflammatory post about ADNs was sure to cause offense....

  5. Beyond Bedside? Advanced Practice? Really?

    Horseshoe replied to EGspirit's topic in General Nursing

    The RN **IS** less educated. That's a fact. Those of us who haven chosen not to further our education (and that would be me, too) have to own our choices. It does NOT mean the bedside RN is...

  6. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Horseshoe replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    This thread has gotten too

  7. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Horseshoe replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell you why they took her seriously. She is a long time poster, has more than 12,000 posts and 97,000 views. That's not the mark of a

  8. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Horseshoe replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I'm in the minority, but if one of your restrooms is in the employee break room (ours was, and there were other restrooms nearby as well) where people are eating, please take your business...

  9. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Horseshoe replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Neutralizing spray is an oxymoron. My hospital used one, and all it did was make the unit smell like someone had crapped on a Christmas

  10. Really, Doctor?!

    Horseshoe replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    The duration of action of some opioids may exceed that of NARCAN (naloxone). It could be that she fell asleep after the narcan's duration of action had been exhausted.Repeated doses of NARCAN...

  11. FNP New Grads - Tell us about your first job!

    Horseshoe replied to ickyvicky's topic in General Students

    My condolences on your loss. Losing people we love is hard, very hard. I see that you have posted two identical threads. Perhaps you could email one of the administrators and have them merge your two...

  12. Cath RN vs EP RN

    Horseshoe replied to Pinkey1202's topic in General Nursing

    At our hospital, EP lab nurses don't take call, but cath lab nurses do. If you are called in at 1 am and are scheduled to come in at 7, you will have to come back. Some nurses love cath lab so much...

  13. RN with medical marijuana card

    Horseshoe replied to youenjoymyself's topic in General Nursing

    Refusing to hire based on race is illegal. However, smokers, marijuana users, and obese people are not a protected class, so theoretically any of the above could be legally discriminated

  14. What's it like in maternity clinicals?

    Horseshoe replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Students

    I was almost 2 weeks overdue with D2 when I went to my OB. He said "sorry, you haven't started dilating at all." I was heartbroken. That night a severe cold front came through and my water broke when...

  15. What would you do

    Horseshoe replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Students

    BTW, why is this thread posted in the student

  16. What's it like in maternity clinicals?

    Horseshoe replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Students

    My main takeaway from OB was that when a woman tells you the baby is coming, believe her, even if the doctor says it couldn't possibly be

  17. Flu - Missing Class

    Horseshoe replied to Phlebotomist21's topic in General Students

    What religions have rules against vaccination? I'm actually curious. Even my Christian Science friend says that their religion doesn't specifically forbid

  18. When do nursing programs do drug tests?

    Horseshoe replied to helloego's topic in General Students

    I wasn't drug tested in nursing school, but while working as a nurse, I hurt my back. I could barely walk to the nurse's station. My boss sent me home, but she was required by policy to send me to...

  19. What would you do

    Horseshoe replied to iwannabeanursee's topic in General Students

    Or maybe because she was *93*, she was shutting down. The drugs may not have helped and may even have had a detrimental effect on her condition, but you have no way of knowing that anyone "killed"...

  20. RN with medical marijuana card

    Horseshoe replied to youenjoymyself's topic in General Nursing

    Many facilities are testing for nicotine, a completely legal substance, and making hiring decisions based on the

  21. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    Horseshoe replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    This person clearly could not care less about exposing patients to potential illnesses. She is far more concerned about exposing herself to vaccines, in spite of the wealth of research testing their...

  22. Service Dogs Allowed in ISO?

    Horseshoe replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that people still aren't getting that emotional support animals (ESAs) are NOT the same thing as Service Dogs. From the ADA web site: With respect to actual service animals, note the...

  23. Service Dogs Allowed in ISO?

    Horseshoe replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    The legal distinction is already pretty clear between the two; many entities just don't understand the difference. No hospital is required to take in an emotional support animal. There is no legal...

  24. Service Dogs Allowed in ISO?

    Horseshoe replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    That's not true. Emotional support animals are different from service dogs, but DO have protections in place. Emotional Support Dog Requirements | Service Dog
