  1. Ready to toss in the towel

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

    After 21 years of nursing sounds like you need a nice vacation on a sunny beach. You know a place where you can forget about work. Maybe a cruise or something. Much luck to

  2. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

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

    Wow! She wouldve been blocked and deleted. Odd that she decided to call someone rude, when her behavior was rude.

  3. I have your meds, please take them:)

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    Of course we know we do not leave pills at the bedside, but I still can't get pass the fact that she continued to do this after being warned and told she was being watched. Now that was

  4. Patient's addicted to narcotics

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to rn undisclosed name's topic in General Nursing

    If he is getting Rxs from multiple doctors than maybe he gets them filled at different

  5. As basic decency slips away....We watch them die and do nothing.........

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

    Beautifully

  6. As basic decency slips away....We watch them die and do nothing.........

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

    I repeat, I was NOT commenting on the rescuing. I just wanted to clarify mental illness and generally what happens. In regards to the rescuing, I was not there, I don't live in San Francisco, and I...

  7. As basic decency slips away....We watch them die and do nothing.........

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

    We can go back and forth on this, but I wouldn't compare a mentally ill person with a obese person who chooses to over eat or a Cancer patient that chooses to smoke. Depending on his mental illness,...

  8. As basic decency slips away....We watch them die and do nothing.........

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

    This is totally off subject (sorry OP) I just wanted to say that many mentally ill people do not seek treatment especially if there is no support system in place, in which majority of the time this is...

  9. As basic decency slips away....We watch them die and do nothing.........

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

    Sounds like something needs to happen with the budget so these rescuers can actually do some rescuing. Who wants to watch someone die, suicidal or not? These men need gear, what if it had been an...

  10. What do you do about MA, GNA, etc calling themselves nurses?

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

    LoL! A friend of mine was just ranting today about Rachel Ray referring to herself as a chef. My friend graduated from Johnson & Wales and is a stickler for "cooks" who call themselves "chefs."...

  11. Spouses/Visitors In Patient's Beds

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to jpmrt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It doesn't bother me. I remember when my daughter was 2 she had surgery, I couldn't imagine being anywhere but right next to her in the bed holding her. I think it was a healing process for her (and...

  12. Just let me go!

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

    WoW! GOOD POINT! I never even thought about

  13. does anyone out there copy charts to save time?

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

    The OP works in Psych not LTC. Different

  14. Just let me go!

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

    Yes I agree with Diane. I've had a patient in her 90s, full code, and when she coded you could feel her fragile ribs breaking beneath your hands. Although, we may not choose it for ourselves, I do...

  15. What does an RN supervisor do?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to MelissaLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Could it possible that you just don't see all she is doing when she is in her office? Could be tons of paperwork. I imagine you're extremely busy in LTC. She is probably loaded with complaints,...

  16. Research and placing "RN" after name when not an RN

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

    WoW! You really don't like her huh? GEEZ! Research Assistants where I work actually make more than the RNs, and it is a well respected position. If she is signing her name RN and has no license why...

  17. Nurses with nose piercings?

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

    So as many threads do, this one kind of got thrown off track by turning into a "professionalism" debate. To answer the original thread, there are nurses with nose piercings. I had one back in the...

  18. Nurses with nose piercings?

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

  19. So i'm a Nurse right????

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just be careful and remember CNAs and MAs usually do not have a license they are risking/losing. It says that the OH BON does not permit this (calling yourself a nurse or graduate nurse and...

  20. It stinks when you are on the other side!

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    Hi VTachy, I'm sorry you're in this situation. I wanted to know if this hospital has patient advocate services? I worked in a hospital that provided this service to patients, and usually spoke on...

  21. Applying for jobs?

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

    Oh my! I see why you're asking this, you have 19 years of experience. Why in the world would they want your school transcripts? Someone with your extensive experience shouldn't need

  22. Nurses with nose piercings?

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

    OUCH! Practice your culture at home? If a jewish man wears his cap to work (which I have seen, can't think of the name Kippa, or Yamikah) that would be wrong also? We practice our culture in...

  23. So i'm a Nurse right????

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my state they would call you a RNA (Registered Nurse Applicant). Some people never pass the NCLEX and therefore never become an actual nurse (not saying this is you, I'm sure you'll pass the 1st...

  24. does anyone out there copy charts to save time?

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

    Really? I've worked in psych for 8 years, sometimes nights - and I still assessed them by walking into each room to do my checks (and yes the psych techs do these checks as well on my unit, we also...

  25. does anyone out there copy charts to save time?

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

    Doesn't work like that in the U.S.A. There is always something to be charted. Documentation is vital here. You're looking at it from a UK point of view which is actually not helpful to the OP at all...
