  1. Time to read the chart, MD notes?

    Chin up replied to stellaRN1983's topic in General Nursing

    Instead of rushing to work, or having to read, Md notes, maybe the bar needs to be raised on giving report. You used the word sketchy, the nurse giving report should have an expectation, maybe an...

  2. Nurses who come from abusive/addicted families

    Chin up replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    Why not interview nurses who fit this criteria, instead of reading a paper or study? Your presentation will most likely be more inspiring, and you will feel more connected to not only the...

  3. Staff and artificial nails

    Chin up replied to txdon's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Those nurses have an increased chance of infection, wearing artificial nails. For that reason alone, I would have them removed from the facility. I don't feel as strongly about the polish. Just don't...

  4. Has anyone ever been accused of elderly abuse

    Chin up replied to cnabeginner's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    He*ll to the NO! And pray I am never around, if you do! It will not be pretty. Elders deserve the best treatment possible. They are vulnerable, they have fought in wars, raised kids and grandkids,...

  5. Starting night shift - need advice/tips from night shifters!

    Chin up replied to Irock's topic in General Nursing

    Before you take Tylenol PM, ( which I think is dangerous, and personally don't keep it in my home) see how you feel naturally. It is important to get 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, some do it...

  6. DON passing trays in dining room

    Chin up replied to americanTrain's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    The ED would flip you One, before dipping into the budget for this. In other words, oh h*ll

  7. Holes in MARS

    Chin up replied to txdon's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    You could go the severe route...by that, I mean, say for the next six months. The unit managers, Don, SDC and yourself do daily walking rounds, checking MAR for wholes. As you go through the MAR, one...

  8. so.... what would YOU say?

    Chin up replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I thought when you wrote, you were bored, that this was a fun thread. I tried to show her point of view, made light and laughed out loud. I had no idea you would take this so seriously. Sorry if my...

  9. Would YOU recommend to a friend/family member, etc..

    Chin up replied to digoe74's topic in Nursing Career

    Absolutely not, unless you have guts of steel and ice water in your veins. My position and I'm sticking to

  10. Gender/Wal-Mart Case/Ginsburg/Nursing

    Chin up replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, yes, yes. They have a responsibility to back up what they say! Or words are meaningless...But, that is where the debate begins and where the justices parted. This is a heated, evenly divided...

  11. Why are so many nursing related things childish?

    Chin up replied to DeeAngel's topic in General Nursing

    Holla!!

  12. so.... what would YOU say?

    Chin up replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Reread what you wrote and how she may have perceived

  13. Gender/Wal-Mart Case/Ginsburg/Nursing

    Chin up replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, the AT&T case was about women, or was it? The Walmart case is about women in this instance, but could easily be about race, faith, gays...her premise is wider than gender and this has been...

  14. so.... what would YOU say?

    Chin up replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you took her meaning, intentions..as belittling your career, when in fact, that was her comeback, to your put- down of what she did. She won....you did shut up.

  15. Gender/Wal-Mart Case/Ginsburg/Nursing

    Chin up replied to Cul2's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree with her. Where is your disagreement? Is it her logic regarding the AT&T whole person rule, or in general? I only ask so I can explain further, why I am in agreement. Edit-...

  16. PA Senate Bill 802

    Chin up replied to LegzRN's topic in School

    I think using, "Health Techs" is dangerous and would much rather they stop this practice. These are our children, and they should be cared for by professional nurses only. I don't know how they get...

  17. Just lost my hearing in one ear- now what?

    Chin up replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have 80 percent hearing loss, in my left ear, due to an accident 25 years ago. I became a nurse, 26 years ago and apart from talking very loud on occasion and having some balance issues, only when I...

  18. Enjoys the technical side of nursing, now what?

    Chin up replied to datajunkette's topic in General Nursing

    You are making excuses. This is not a negative, it is just how you feel. Thinking so far down the road, on could have and should have's are excuses to help you justify why you do or don't want to do...

  19. Using BSN when you have not earned it

    Chin up replied to sportsmom84's topic in General Nursing

    In this case, it may not be wrong. I remember a similar situation at our hospital, this was like 1988. Anyway, the nurses were in a tizzy because one said, she is still in school taking classes and...

  20. can I lose my license...

    Chin up replied to mRpeNa's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am glad you told the truth, but you should have done it the day it happened. This looks like you tried to cover for a fall, to avoid doing an incident report, call Md, family, and all the other...

  21. I got a job! :-)

    Chin up replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    You obviously are a great worker! You earned it! What a great feeling! I am both proud and happy for you!

  22. Why do we do this?

  24. I have a few things to say to some of the LTC staff I worked with yesterday!

    Chin up replied to juzme's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Relax, it was satire. I am MDS.

  25. Will agencies hire new grad if I worked for them as a CNA?

    Chin up replied to Devie06's topic in Agency Nurses

    I did the LPN to agency, 25 years ago. I would not recommend it to anyone. I was too young to realize how foolish it was. It worked out for me, but now I shudder whenever I think about it. I only got...
