  1. holidays... sick call...

    Horseshoe replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe one word of this. Just the OP trying to thumb her nose at the universal condemnation of her

  2. Fired, no proof or investigation. Please help

    Horseshoe replied to Fnj9977's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to tell who you are responding to when you don't use the quote button. The quote feature is right next to the reply

  3. Texas Nurse Extern- Academic Credit?

    Horseshoe replied to grit&grace's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, what an awesome

  4. OR nurse vs EP Lab nurse

    Horseshoe replied to Bx25's topic in General Nursing

    I liked pulling arterial line sheaths.

  5. holidays... sick call...

    Horseshoe replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    She's made it very clear that she doesn't CARE about her coworkers, at least during the holidays. She wants what she wants and that is much more important to her than what's fair and what's

  6. Wrong side for amputation(loss of license)

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've had patients who wrote the word "NO" in black marker on the limb that is not supposed to be worked on. :) They've read these horror stories

  7. Is my nursing CYA brain taking it too far?

    Horseshoe replied to Kallie3006's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Agree with above. In the event of gross negligence, you can still sue and win. Those waivers are basically worthless in the face of true

  8. Wrong side for amputation(loss of license)

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    But you might see them if someone else quotes

  9. Can Text Convay Enough

    Horseshoe replied to Reigh7's topic in General Nursing

    Sure you can. I'm convinced you can do

  10. Can Text Convay Enough

    Horseshoe replied to Reigh7's topic in General Nursing

    Really? I find his posts to be grandiloquent, sesquipedalian, verbose, pretentious, bombastic, florid, turgid, orotund, and pedantic. But ironically, they contain errors of syntax, for all their...

  11. Wrong side for amputation(loss of license)

    Horseshoe replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In my OR, the surgeon is the one who marks the site. NEVER EVER is the nurse the one doing that. There are also those handy little things called the pre-op checklist and the time out, which should...

  12. There's hope!

    Horseshoe replied to DaisyRN2003's topic in General Nursing

    Will do. But the OP should have provided links to her other threads as a courtesy to readers who don't have her story burned into their brains.

  13. There's hope!

    Horseshoe replied to DaisyRN2003's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea who you are or what situation you are describing. Could you please give a brief summary of your

  14. Can Text Convay Enough

    Horseshoe replied to Reigh7's topic in General Nursing

    Your example using the words "to effect change" is a correct use of the word "effect." In the example above, the use of the word "effect" (to "effect jobs") is

  15. Can Text Convay Enough

    Horseshoe replied to Reigh7's topic in General Nursing

    Based on this post, I'd say you failed on the whole "concise"

  16. holidays... sick call...

    Horseshoe replied to imsickagain's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, now I understand. Why didn't you just say so from the beginning? You are ever so much more special than your coworkers. You are deserving of being off on Christmas two years in a row because, as...

  17. Domestic Violence: Why Should SHE Leave?

    Horseshoe replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    True, comingling is very common. But if it's important to someone to keep their separate property, they will do so. Just being married to someone doesn't entitle a person to his spouse's separate...

  18. Im so angry and bitter!

    Horseshoe replied to UCFAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would being re-assigned be a possibility at the next school as well? If so, you should consider getting an ASN degree rather than the BSN (don't know what you are currently trying to do). That way,...

  19. no dosage test

    Horseshoe replied to yellowleaf's topic in General Students

    You should welcome the opportunity to become proficient at dosage calculations. You wouldn't want to make a medication error, right? In the real world, anything less than perfect math when...

  20. no dosage test

    Horseshoe replied to yellowleaf's topic in General Students

    You should welcome the opportunity to become proficient at calculating dosages. After all, you wouldn't want to make a medication error, right? In the real world, making mistakes in your math when...

  21. Do grades mean much?

    Horseshoe replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    My critical care new grad residency most certainly looked at GPA. So many people applied that year that a 3.8 was the minimum GPA required in order to be offered a spot. Only one in my residency...

  22. what next after job termination

    Horseshoe replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    That is NOT

  23. Non-disciplinary LPN license and future employment and misdemeanor

    Horseshoe replied to Manofconviction's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Whatever you do, do not state that you "didn't know consequences for actions." At your age, that just sounds like an excuse. It sounds like the charge was reduced to something relatively minor. If...

  24. Clean stick needle change

    Horseshoe replied to Emergencyhotdog's topic in General Nursing

    The OP has asked for official sources which address this issue, not opinions; I assume he wants this in order to address this with providers in the future. I spent five minutes looking for it, but...

  25. Math question!

    Horseshoe replied to Bunny92's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We have a few NOT new posters who will jump in to answer student questions simply because they enjoy going contrary to forum custom. I've noticed this happening more
