  1. Why can't I leave work at work?

    Chin up replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    You must be new. In time, you will forget as soon as you leave the parking lot. I think it took me 5 years, to get to that point.

  2. Terminated 15 mins after state left

    Chin up replied to newtress's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    OMG, I can't take it anymore. Well, for awhile, but what you wrote here, is so true. They simply don't care. I know life doesn't matter much anymore, but in nursing...come on. But it is true. What...

  3. Breach of Confidentiality?

    Chin up replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    In school or not, this is common sense. Kudos!

  4. Breach of Confidentiality?

    Chin up replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I will say, I have pretended to not, see someone while working, or other places if I thought it would embarrass them. Once eye contact made, I always speak and if it us awkward, will try and act dumb,...

  5. Breach of Confidentiality?

    Chin up replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    Bull crap. We are humans, not robots. We are to acknowledge everyone the same.

  6. Can a nurse work with AIN syndrome?

    Chin up replied to inshallamiami's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Have you been diagnosed? Are you under a doctors care? What do they say? You need to take whatever is going on with you seriously and get professional help.

  7. It all comes back tenfold...

    Chin up replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely love this!! I think I just found my new sig line:D. Thanks!

  8. Can a nurse come to work after taking a benzodiazepine?

    Chin up replied to Smackdown's topic in General Nursing

    Ps- the whole point of drug testing is to eliminate illegal drug users and ETOH abuse. They are looking for abuse. Not the random percocet you take for a broken leg, or Xanax used for anxiety...

  9. Can a nurse come to work after taking a benzodiazepine?

    Chin up replied to Smackdown's topic in General Nursing

    HIPAA does protect you. Yes, you sign a ROI form, and yes the lab sends the results to your employer. But, and where you keep getting hung up, the lab, upon finding a banned substance will do a second...

  10. It all comes back tenfold...

    Chin up replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Nursing

    Loved waking up to this!

  11. Before you had ANY type of nursing training/education, did you know anything?

    Chin up replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in General Nursing

    I was a CNA in HS and nursing school was Greek to me. I also had obtained a baccalaureate in Biology, no less. So don't feel badly. It will come. Peace! Edit: was a NA, not CNA. They did not certify...

  12. What to do for this patient simulation????

    Chin up replied to ilovetonurse's topic in General Nursing

    Simple, basic, read your chapter.

  13. Do you think I would be better off starting the ADN program as a generic student?

    Chin up replied to delores4's topic in LPN to RN

    So many people are trying to get into a bridge program. You would not have been accepted, if there was a thought, you could not do it. So, relax and enjoy!

  14. Can a nurse come to work after taking a benzodiazepine?

    Chin up replied to Smackdown's topic in General Nursing

    You should do a search on here. There are threads, that deal with this and go deep into this issue. You will find wise words already spoken. All I will say now, the issue is not black and white. Few...

  15. Nursing doesnt define you

    Chin up replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    How can you say you are Not contributing, when you are a wife, mother and daughter? Everyday, your presence is felt, heard and loved, by your family. Everyday, you contribute to society when you take...

  16. Rn's are better than lpn's???

    Chin up replied to lisa41rn's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    In the seventies, we were the "let's pretend nurse" and RNs were the " Real Nurse". But a joke only. Back then and for me 80's diploma RN's were the rule and absolute bomb. We all worked together and...

  17. Rn's are better than lpn's???

    Chin up replied to lisa41rn's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    No, it is human nature. We see it more in our field, but all fields have this to different degrees.

  18. Rn's are better than lpn's???

    Chin up replied to lisa41rn's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    What is tripping you up is the LPN is under the direct supervision of A RN. Not all RN's. A DON can delegate to her LPN certain duties, the LPN then delegates the same to an RN. You still, are taking...

  19. Rn's are better than lpn's???

    Chin up replied to lisa41rn's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I think you are making the comment of One LPN, larger than what it is. She could just as well have been an RN, NP or doctor. I have heard these same comments out of all disciplines and within the...
