  1. LVN "teamate" not doing meds properly-advice wanted

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

    Because it's team nursing are you both held responsible? I'm curious about this because it changes things. When we did team nursing, the team leader ultimately got dinged if someone on the team...

  2. Patient complaint filed

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to ladytopaz56's topic in General Nursing

    Once you've written your side, I don't know if there is more you can do. They have to investigate based on their protocal it seems. Make sure you keep up with what is going on by calling and asking...

  3. Offensive Nursing Behavior

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

    I use to work with someone like this, and it was a unionized place. Many complained about her attitude and how she talked to patients, but nothing happened. I transferred off that floor, but guess...

  4. Patient complaint filed

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to ladytopaz56's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't mind, what was the complaint in relation to? What exactly did she complain

  5. How do I respond to a poorly written request to be a nursing student?

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

    I guess she did not send an attached copy of her unofficial transcript with the email. I agree with canesdukegirl, the letter sample she provided is perfect. If she calls, you can get the...

  6. Compassion required???

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

    My concern was only that you felt obligated to the profession based on your familys preference (from your original post this is what I picked up), therefore possible leaving you in an unhappy career....

  7. How to tell your mom it may be time to stop chemo?

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

    I was gonna suggest talking to her oncologist about your feelings and maybe you could bring it to her with her doctor present. TraumaRus advice is really solid. I'm so sorry you are going through...

  8. Anyone ever bought nursing skills DVD's?

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

    A DVD came with my lab textbook by Potter/Perry, very informative. It was an actual DVD, sometimes we would watch in lab before performing the task, but we could actually watch them at home

  9. pregnant and on a clear liquid diet

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to VANursetobe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You're being a good friend, maybe she will give it (the diet) a try. Once you've done all you can, that's all you can do. She has to take care of herself. Much

  10. pregnant and on a clear liquid diet

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to VANursetobe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I remember being on a clear liquid diet when pregnant it was very hard. I'm sure you're trying your best, but she sounds like she's going to do what she wants to no matter what. Do you know if the...

  11. LPN vs RN

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in LPN to RN

    None of us can predict the future. Who knows, in the future the minimum requirement for nursing may be a BSN in general and ADNs and LPNs may be obsolete. As for now, I take it one day at a time. I...

  12. LPN vs RN

    Mrs. SnowStormRN posted a topic in LPN to RN

    Geez! So many posts seem to turn into a LPN vs RN boxing match:argue:. When I was a CNA I didn't know what exactly a LPN did, when I was a LPN I didn't know exactly what a RN did, and now that I am RN...

  13. Rehab Nursing advice please...not a real nurse?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to leolomb's topic in Rehabilitation

    Unless you're a mannequin with a RN/LPN license than yes you're a "real nurse." I hate when people say that to me because I work in psych (which can be like rehab for the mind, LoL ) anyhow, half of...

  14. 0.9 points kept me from graduating with my ADN. What to do?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Jess1980's topic in General Students

    Sorry this happened. Test taking is difficult. My school was very strict on grades as well and didnt believe in passing students who failed by any points and this happened to a classmate of mine....

  15. So if all nurses are heroes.......

    Mrs. SnowStormRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey there! This is just for fun... Every now and then I like to start a post that's light and refreshing. Some of the posts here can really bring me down, LoL! Soooo with that said: If nurses were a...

  16. What should I do about the patient from hell?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to mountain_biker_88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She's in her right mind and has a psych

  17. Will I be held responsible ?

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I think the supervisor should document being that she seems to be the most aware of the incident and discovered

  18. Compassion required???

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

    It really doesn't sound like you want to do this, sounds like your family wants you to do this. As for job security, nurses are easily replaceable because of the overflood of new nurses. Just like...

  19. LPN vs RN

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in LPN to RN

    You said what I was trying to say but better,

  20. LPN vs RN

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in LPN to RN

    Excellent point!!!

  21. Nurses getting fired left and right...

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

    LoL! I see that now, how the heck did I miss this? No apologies needed, after awhile all of the threads usually end up somewhere else. LMBO!!! Too

  22. LPN vs RN

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in LPN to RN

    LOL! I just thought about that. Lets keep our fingers crossed and hope not. I hope that all nurses will just think about it and say, we are a team and the bickering is really unnecessary. That we...

  23. Nurses getting fired left and right...

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

    Are you responding to one of the posts? The thread is about turnover rate. I'm sorry if I'm a little confused about how you're responding to the

  24. LPN vs RN

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in LPN to RN

    I've seen it get ugly on both ends. I've done both positions and seen both views. As you know LPNs have not worked in a RN position so it goes both ways (those who havent worked the position can only...

  25. RN jobs with high amount of patient/family teaching

    Mrs. SnowStormRN replied to Junebug0710's topic in General Nursing

    Community Health Nursing is a nice broad profession that sounds like a good option for you. Many of the nurses who work in community health centers (aka health departments) do tons of teaching on safe...
