  1. Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    schroeders_piano replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    Going about with frivolous lawsuits is really going to make someone want to hire

  2. Please is anyone willing to critique my resume!!!

    schroeders_piano replied to tlc2u's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Having been in nursing management in the past, I reviewed numerous resumes. I would have thrown yours in the trash immediately. I'm sorry. Not trying to be harsh, but your resume just doesn't say...

  3. Memorial Hermann is planning on unpaid GN intersnship

    schroeders_piano replied to RNQueen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Many professionals in other fields complete unpaid interships in order to gain experience or to get their foot in the door. Personally, I think this could be a good option for some new grads who are...

  4. Mandatory White Uniforms for RN's- your experience

    schroeders_piano replied to lauramae18's topic in General Nursing

    Just another thought on this subject of wearing all white, doesn't some asian countries view the color white as being associated with death? Would patients that come from those countries or have ties...

  5. What's your favorite computer charting program?

    schroeders_piano replied to TDCHIM's topic in General Nursing

    Meditech Magic is horrible. However, Meditech 6.0 is extremely easy to use and is based upon using a mouse instead of F keys. I have used numerous EMRs and I actually think EPIC was the worst one that...

  6. Comfort Food After a L o n g Shift

    schroeders_piano replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    After a bad night shift, I crave the heart attack on a plate- hashbrowns, biscuits, bacon, and sausage patties all covered in gravy. Maybe I'm just subconsciously trying to give myself a MI so I don't...

  8. hotel stays

    schroeders_piano replied to L&DRNJenn's topic in Travel

    I stayed in a hotel when I traveled. I was about 2 hours from home and worked 7p-7a. I talked with the hotel manager about the situation and he worked it out to where I checked in at 730am after I got...

  9. HELP: quit LTC without 2 wk notice and ED treatened to report me to BON

    schroeders_piano replied to hgal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They can not do anything about it. It's not abandonment if you were not on the clock. You have the right to quit at anytime for any reason. They were just using a scare tactic to keep a nurse from...

  10. The retro nurse's outfit has returned

    schroeders_piano replied to cicatrixx15's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't they just go really retro and at night turn off all the lights and have the "angels of mercy" make their rounds with

  11. Are swans going "out of style?"

    schroeders_piano replied to TemperStripe's topic in MICU, SICU

    There is actually 2 really neat pieces of equipment that you can get cardiac outputs with. One is a monitor that connects to an art line. The other is an esophageal(sp) doppler. It looks like an NG...

  12. Nurse Fired For Refusing To Get a H1N1 Vaccine or Wear Mask

    schroeders_piano replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As far as Ukraine registering 1000 deaths in just 80 days, the Ukraine cannot be compared to the US. The health system in the Ukraine, in many places, lacks the necessary treatment needed for sevre...

  13. These orders are received from a doctor what is the order of completion to begin.

    schroeders_piano replied to nsrs2005's topic in General Students

    since i think this is the op homework, i won't answer the question. i just wanted to point out that you would draw bc before you hung an abx and that bc are a requirement for core measures for...

  14. Feeling bad because I didn't "go with my gut"

    schroeders_piano replied to LuVnLpN08's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP-I know you feel bad for not going with your gut. I would lay odds, that after having this experience you will never let it happen again. I applaud you for researching lovenox and it's uses...

  15. New national nurses union forms

    schroeders_piano replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The auto industry had asked the UAW to be more flexible on some issues years before the industry was crying the blues. The major rollbacks agreed to came after the auto plants and part manufacturing...

  16. New national nurses union forms

    schroeders_piano replied to herring_RN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I've read all the posts on here and I find it funny that some who are in support of unions have decried the fact that CEOs are making thousands of dollars at the worker's expense. Yet, these same...

  17. Why is nursing such a horrible job?

    schroeders_piano replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

  19. House passes landmark health care bill

    schroeders_piano replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I know that the house bill means nothing right now, but it does show how out of touch some of the congressmen are. There is a provision in the house bill that would require employers to provide...

  20. Do you think this was unfair?

    schroeders_piano replied to SNLou84's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry that your aunt passed away. With that being said, I agree with the other posters it was your responsibility to turn ithe careplan in on time and your responsibility to find a babysitter....

  21. TNS or CEN?

    schroeders_piano replied to TZRNER's topic in Emergency

    Acually you do put Jane Smith, RN TNS. TNS is a state of Illinois credential. You get a nice little card from the state when you complete it. TNS is going out of style. TNCC is the gold standard for...

  22. Does anyone NOT use a PIXYS?

    schroeders_piano replied to LMTRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I haven't worked hospice, but I worked in an ICU that still had a nacr cabinet that had to be counted each shift. We had every possible narc you could imagine in that cabinet and every RN had access...

  24. Pushing Dilaudid?

    schroeders_piano replied to chacmool's topic in Patient Medications

    Maybe you are the one that needs to get more experience when it comes to dealing with handling narcs. You might not lose your license, but you might lose your job for not following facility policy and...

  25. Pushing Dilaudid?

    schroeders_piano replied to chacmool's topic in Patient Medications

    Actually that is a big deal. You are leaving a narc out in the open. What if they empty the bag into a cup and keep it until they have a larger quanity. They can sell this or drink it in order to get...
