  1. I give in to drug seeking patients

    Raidernurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have to admit it. I am a sucker for a drug seeking patient. It's not that I actually feel sorry for them, or that I am too stupid to see right through their ploys. It's just that I don't feel like...

  2. They're Their and There

    Raidernurse replied to PaperPencil's topic in General Students

    Well I don't "no" what the F this has to "dew" with nursing "butt:" Hear,

  3. why call it diversion?

    Raidernurse replied to cecilsgirl's topic in Addictions

    Just a quick add on to this discussion. Six years ago I was spanked (and rightly so) for showing up to work "impaired." I never diverted or stole medications from my employer. However, I spent three...

  4. Want to specialize - Should RN become substance abuse counselor?

    Raidernurse replied to tuttle13's topic in Addictions

    There are a few ways. Sometimes if work in a community clinic and work a lot with substance abusers, your supervisor can write a letter summarizing how many hours of your time you have spent treating...

  5. What is good example of integrity in nursing?

    Raidernurse replied to suejax's topic in General Nursing

    One time I was working as a house supervisor, and there was a patient in the ED who needed to be admitted. Shift change had occurred between the ED docs, and the outgoing doc had dc'd her without...

  6. Too disabled to do nursing?

    Raidernurse replied to SperoBSN's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Nursing documentation specialists can work from home and make money on a chart per chart basis. Maybe you could look into that. I am sorry for your

  7. bi-polar and terminated

    Raidernurse replied to democrat's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that a lot of the posters are ignoring the heading of the OP's post: Bi-polar is the operative word. Have you been diagnosed by a psychiatrist? If so, are you Type I or II and are you taking...

  8. Samuel Merritt - Oakland, Fall 2011 ELMSN-FNP

    Raidernurse replied to RosePetalss's topic in California Nursing

    Good luck to all of you. I went to SM for my BSN and loved it. It's a great school and very supportive of its students...once they get in that

  9. Please don't tell me I have to work in the ER?!

    Raidernurse replied to **All Heart RN**'s topic in Forensic

    I agree. And, having worked in an ED for 15 years, I will say that I would not want to work anywhere else. As much chaos and stress as there is, there is also the lower acuity populations...sutures,...

  10. Non Nursing B.S-Should I do RN to MSN or BSN to MSN

    Raidernurse replied to dgolden's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Here's my two cents for what they are worth. The BSN will not give you any role flexibility. It's just a nice thing to have on your resume. However, a Masters opens up a lot of doors. I had a BSN...no...

  11. Nurses who steal narcotics....

    Raidernurse replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Poor decisions in addiction is the RESULT of having a genetic and environmental illness. As the result of BEING one of these "heinous" members of society, I have actually become a researcher (PhD...

  12. Nurses who steal narcotics....

    Raidernurse replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    I happen to know a few people who have been penalized and even banned for voicing "strong opinions." I am new to posting here, but have observed from a distance for some time and I have seen many a...

  13. Nurses who steal narcotics....

    Raidernurse replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    I was an impaired nurse 6 years ago. I never stole narcotics from my place of employment, however, had I not had the money and wherewithal to get narcs on my own, I can't honestly say that I wouldn't...
