  2. What's your favorite nursing/nurses' prayer?

    Chin up replied to learning&yearning's topic in General Nursing

    There is so much wisdom in this. It would behoove us all, to heed!

    Ruthfarmer: this is excellent advice and encouragement! I hope the OP listens to your wise words. Thanks for writing

  4. Fired from my med/surg job after almost 3 years

    Chin up replied to gettingbsn2msn's topic in General Nursing

    It is sad, nursing is dangerous when on vacation. I have worked in places, that fire nurses, when they return from vacation. At one place, I was told soon after orientation by the staff, never take a...

  5. Is this professional?

    Chin up replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    You are making so many assumptions, your credibility has been lost. You really have no idea, why these glasses are on her head. You talk about price, you talk about never seeing her wear them, you...

  6. What's your favorite nursing/nurses' prayer?

    Chin up replied to learning&yearning's topic in General Nursing

    Lord, help me to do for them, what they can't do for themselves, as well as they would, if they

  7. male in nursing

    Chin up replied to ALHANOON's topic in Men in Nursing

    A male? A certain male? A reluctant male? Why do you want to know...more information

  8. Would you give Lantus without BG check?

    Chin up replied to Prettybrowngirl's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I would, for obvious reasons.

  9. Just a quick question regarding applications..

    Chin up replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Also, should I go in with letters of reference in hand or wait? I haven't told my boss I am thinking of leaving yet.Absolutely and why in person is so important. You will then be able to state how...

  10. HIPPA violation?

    Chin up replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would never forget...I think it was my third or fourth post, when you schooled me. I still did not get it, but roser13 spelled it out clearly...... I redid my resume the other day and guess what I...

  11. Just a quick question regarding applications..

    Chin up replied to Cat_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You are a 1.5 year LPN with no acute care experience. That does not look well on paper. Say the other resumes are LPNs with 5 year LTC or 2 year acute, who would you pick? If I were you, I would go...

  12. pre enployment drug test hospital

    Chin up replied to cas5anova's topic in General Nursing

    No, they don't watch you, but they don't need to. The test are so sophisticated, it knows the tiniest funny business. When I first started to get tested 4 years ago, they would give the cup, send you...

  13. New ADON/ Survey Imminent!

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

    Care plans, care plans, care plans. Make sure you have updated care plans. Appointments, if any were missed, make sure it is documented. Your MDS must match all documentation. Falls and incidents,...

  14. Brain of a Nurse

    Chin up replied to ttpurtee's topic in General Nursing

    I would certainly hope so.

  15. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    Chin up replied to laurasc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would send it as an open letter to your local newspaper. There is no excuse for rudeness and sadly the only way it will get addressed, is through bad press. I would remove all identifying markers,...

  16. Ironic:No Healthcare for Nsg Homes

    Chin up replied to achot chavi's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Doll, it is not about crying for management. I despise abusive corporations with their wimpy managers. But in this instance, the contribution was fair and the home was contributing over 500 of the...

  17. Advice for changing specialities?

    Chin up replied to PrisonPsychRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the first poster. Much of what you feel is coming from lack of appreciation and fear of being replaced. Managers need to know, that acknowledgment, a kind word, a pat on the back, goes so...

  18. Nurses stand up for themselves

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

    Brava! A baby step has been taken! If I hear the words," but we need to be able to compete, to get the best talent," by a broken business, planning on giving the out going CEO millions, one more...

  19. Hourly Rate for an LPN in Florida

    Chin up replied to ANNG7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thus makes me sick and it makes me sad. Our pay is not determined by the cost of our rent. You are not making professional wages and are letting them get away with this. How can you even afford school...

  20. Desired Salary Question

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

    There is usually a new grad scale. They pretty much give everyone, the same starting rate. They may say, 25 dollars an hour is our new grad start rate, with increases annually etc. You can take that...

  21. Assisted living as a visitor/Sunday School teacher not a nurse.

    Chin up replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would do it. That is for the residents and with clear understanding, that you are there as a volunteer, not a working professional. You are there to teach, entertain, enjoy the residents only. If...

    Chin up replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    You are too much! LOL! You are gonna be a kick azz nurse one day, I know it! Peace lil

  23. LTC Emergencies - Not prepared!

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

    It is not right. You should have at least 12 weeks and longer if requested. They are going to try and get away with whatever they can. You have to let them know you are not ready and need more...

  24. LTC Emergencies - Not prepared!

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

    Speak with your staff development coordinator immediately. She is the one to go over this with you. In fact, they usually do mock codes throughout the year, if you do not have a SDC, see the DNS. You...

  25. Ironic:No Healthcare for Nsg Homes

    Chin up replied to achot chavi's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The nursing home first referenced, asked for a 25 dollar a month contribution, which I think is more than fair. In this particular instance, I don't see a fault with the nursing home, but the...
