  1. Entrepreneurial Ideas for LPNs

    Chin up replied to MYRN2016's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I am a make artist. I do special occasions, weddings and proms. I make as much during the spring and summer months as I do in my full time administrative position. I am in law school and my make up...

  2. Worried about a new job

    Chin up replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    I smell a kindred

  3. Worried about a new job

    Chin up replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you had not done this. I realize you relocated and had to work, but until nurses stop going along with these deceptive practices, they will continue. I am very sorry for you and hope it works...

  4. To ask or not to ask: Approach manager about a possible poor reference?

    Chin up replied to kimbalotz's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with you. A good manager wants to see you improve yourself, not hold you back. One of their functions is to mentor. A good mentor is thrilled and happy to see all their effort come to fruition...

  5. Night shift and mom RN's...will it be ok???

    Chin up replied to kimbalotz's topic in General Nursing

    I did it for years and years and years! Hubby did not like sleeping alone, but my kids always had one us at all times. I got to drop off, pick them out. Go to all their activities, volunteer as room...

  6. Have you ever had to lawyer up?

    Chin up replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    Go for it! This is what is needed in nursing, nurses speaking up and making noise.

  7. pt abandonment question

    Chin up replied to sunshineyday's topic in General Nursing

    Kooky, You are correct, the board response was lacking in that particular area. However, that was a position statement. Basically a guideline but not pertinent in all cases. In the boards wisdom,...

  8. pt abandonment question

    Chin up replied to sunshineyday's topic in General Nursing

    Continuation of patient care...that is the key phrase. You never started, relax.

  9. pt abandonment question

    Chin up replied to sunshineyday's topic in General Nursing

    According to your linked document, you did nothing wrong with the board, the facility probably won't call you back though. I was surprised to learn, sleeping on the job was abandonment. Wow. Anyway,...

  10. what are my chances?

    Chin up replied to kmj25's topic in General Nursing

    You guys are too funny...we used to have to wait 1-2 months for our results...Good

  11. Why everyone wants to become anesthetist? Is it because of the salary?

    Chin up replied to Datu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So what if it is hard to earn. Most things worth having

    Way to go! My new

  13. How do You Treat PRN/Agency Nurses and Why?

    Chin up replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    Jmo, I don't think agency should work in union hospitals unless staff is supportive. In the eighties, I worked as an agency nurse at a large union hospital for about a year. When they were about to...

  14. New Grad Co-worker driving me NUTS!!!!

    Chin up replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, now you are putting the blame elsewhere. The thread started with issues against the new grad. Now six other nurses are involved with an overage of a narc. I honestly believe the bottle came that...

  15. New Grad Co-worker driving me NUTS!!!!

    Chin up replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    You are almost there! I am sooo jealous.

  16. Discouraged, downtroddened and ready to find something other than nursing...

    Chin up replied to Marshall1's topic in General Nursing

    This is so true, good nurses leaving and only those willing to cut corners stay. Terrible state of affairs, but it really is corporate greed, forcing these things to happen. Management is doing what...

  17. Coming to work after taking a narcotic?!

    Chin up replied to cherryblossom88's topic in General Nursing

    This is simply not true. You can't drink and drive, but you can take meds and drive if you are not impaired. People with chronic pain, drive and work every day. I bet some of you pop Xanax all day...

  18. How do You Treat PRN/Agency Nurses and Why?

    Chin up replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    The agency nurse can help herself, tremendously by being on time, introducing herself to staff, making friends with the CNA's and working like this is her facility. I did it for years, and never had...

  19. New Grad Co-worker driving me NUTS!!!!

    Chin up replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    I would leave her be. She did have a right to question the high narcotic count, and she also had the right to question unsigned meds. You don't have the right to make excuses for unsigned meds....

  20. Trouble in Paradise

    Chin up replied to Tina**RN's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    It does not matter how long, the ADON has been there. You are responsible for the facility. She is your assistant, you are her boss, what do you think should be

  21. Call schedule

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

    Since you are on call 24/7, you should not be on a weekend rotating schedule. You are a backup if needed.

  22. DON passing trays in dining room

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

    Which is why I believe this is a nursing function. Nurses should know, and make sure residents are getting their proper diet, at the proper temperature, with the proper consistency. Nursing...

  23. DON passing trays in dining room

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

    I truly believe you need to grow some....I am not being sarcastic, but serious. Your ED is being unrealistic and professional curtesy requires her to respect your status and judgement. Otherwise, how...

  24. Toughen up, or quit?

    Chin up replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    The greatest thing about agency is you never have to go back. Do you really want to put yourself through this for a few bucks?? Since I have matured, (yanno, got old) I have realized the importance...

  25. Terminated over the phone.

    Chin up replied to hellokitty9's topic in General Nursing

    This is true...however, being that this forum has young nurses reading and learning from it...I am glad, she did write. Everyone makes mistakes, but how you respond to them is what makes you a better...
