  1. LPN goin beyond scope of practice

    Chin up replied to SweetheartRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Why do you feel the need to report this? I really don't believe this is in your, "scope of business". Also, I am an LPN and that is what I am paid to do every day. It is within my scope of practice...

    Chin up replied to veolai37's topic in General Nursing

  3. Job listing on resume??

    Chin up replied to BrookeeLou_RN's topic in General Nursing

    They don't contact, until after the interview. So you can either do what I used to do, don't put it. But my last position I needed them for the added experience in that particular specialty. ( they...

  4. HR recruiter sending me friend request on FB??

    Chin up replied to Emile's topic in General Nursing

    Just say no. Period. No excuses, no, " I forgot or didn't see it" just no. It is no ones business why you befriend or not. Some people think all people are fools.

    Chin up replied to cherryblossom88's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the individual. But For her sake, if she was hurting that badly. I would have suggested, not demanded, she go home. Not everyone who takes a narcotic is a danger to the workplace. We...

    This is very mature and professional! I am so impressed to see someone admit their mistake and recite a correction! There is nothing more admirable. I salute

  7. improper charting vs backstabbing?

    Chin up replied to ferretface's topic in General Nursing

    Although nothing can be entirely removed, it can be crossed out (one line), dated and initialed as wrongly charted. That is stricken from the record and treated like any other incorrect entry. Yes, it...

  8. Morphine and End Of Life

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

    I gave you kudos and am so glad you wrote this post. I admit, when I read the OP post, I immediately said, I hope she is never my nurse. I then kept reading, and saw more nurses saying, she did the...

  9. improper charting vs backstabbing?

    Chin up replied to ferretface's topic in General Nursing

    Unfreakinbelieveable!!! Besides being mean, the facility won't like it al all. She should not have used your name, but " staff" and that is if it is true. The person just seems vindictive and may...

  10. Night shift and Sleeping

    Chin up replied to jaznia15's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, my sister in law that has worked over 30 years night shift, has fallen asleep at the wheel about 4 or five times. She as been fortunate she was never seriously hurt and never hurt or killed...

    Chin up replied to jaznia15's topic in General Nursing

    I have never, repeat never slept on nights. I am wide awake, if sick, I may drag, but never sleep. There is plenty to do, and I loved the peace, working alone at my pace. Once my downtime came@ 2am,...

  12. Sleeping on the job.

    Chin up replied to swon1223's topic in General Nursing

    Her punishment was being written up. They would have terminated her immediately, but didn't. So relax. But, there really is no excuse for sleeping on the job...unless you are forced to attend 3 hour...

  14. concierge ? Really?

    Chin up replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I am sure these services are "paid for" by the family. No, Medicaid patients or people without insurance won't get these services but they don't have the funds to pay anyway and are probably not used...

  15. concierge ? Really?

    Chin up replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    It is good customer service! I don't see the problem or issue. It is the same service, celebrities, professional athletes, politicians have received for years. Now everyone gets the same opportunity....

  18. do you need to take NCLEX again if you don't work for 2 years

    Chin up replied to beba/rn's topic in General Nursing

    In MA, as long as you pay the 120 dollars every two years and complete your 15 HR CEU requirement, you can be out of work as long as you want. That fee does go up

    Chin up replied to OBnurse3's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's not that the hospital has to do anything. It doesn't. But if said hospital wants to remain competitive, which it does, they will have no choice. Right now, said hospital has no policy, but is...

    Chin up replied to dankimal's topic in General Nursing

    You are brand new, give yourself a chance for it to slow down. Right now everything is a whirl wind. You want to be perfect and are probably comparing yourself to exp. Nurses. Just do the best you...
