  4. Drug seeking patients

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    I really dislike the "drug seeking" label, only because people are often mislabeled and because we are human it affects the way we think about the patient. If someone says theyre in pain, theyre in...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to yikib38's topic in General Nursing

  6. To report or not report?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to clinicRn's topic in General Nursing

  9. Is this the wrong field for me?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to CW1978's topic in General Nursing

  11. How do I get a new job after being fired?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Bkre8iv2's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think you were fired over the argument, but fired over the argument in addition to your tardiness and speaking rude about a patient within ear distance - which is grounds for termination. Being...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

  16. Most competitive fields to get into?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I think Med/Surg, LTC, SNF, Home Health, and the prison facilities (although state jobs/federal jobs can be difficult to obtain - so I guess this can go either way), probably easier to get into than...

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to deemalt's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Pain is considered a vital sign in some facilities, and CNAs usually assess vitals (just not the initial). Check your facilitys protocal and procedure manual to see if a CNA can ask pain level at your...

  24. A Nurse CAN be both sexy & smart

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    Boy if she was a man, this would be looked at as "sexual harrassment," which my opinion it is *especially if its continous behavior, which it sounds like). "You just wanted to see me on my knees..."...
