    JSlovex2 replied to EliseM's topic in General Nursing

  2. Where are the candy stripers?

    JSlovex2 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    candystripers would be so nice to have, but as with most things, i think have been pushed out due to liability issues. it's

  3. Urine drug test too dilute??!!

    JSlovex2 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    i would've called the employer, explained what happened, and asked to retest the following day. if you were trying to hide drugs, they wouldn't be out of your system in one day so it wouldn't seem...

  4. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    JSlovex2 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I never really use this terminology at all, but if saying "up as desired" is correct - what would be wrong with saying "up with desire"? just

  5. Failed Physical Test For CNA Today!!Now What??

    JSlovex2 replied to mammaoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    JSlovex2 replied to frost99's topic in General Nursing

  7. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    JSlovex2 replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    i agree. nurses are notorious for telling on each other any and every time there's a chance. also, i can't tell you how many times i've heard in report that a patient who was involved in a MVC was...

  8. Nursing shifts: Is this fact or fiction?

    JSlovex2 replied to magichospital's topic in General Nursing

    all depends on where you work. my entire facility is based on 12 hour shifts. my UNIT has a manager who allows us to fill out a calendar where we request the days we would LIKE to work for the whole...

  9. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    JSlovex2 replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    i'm not afraid to report illegal behaviors. i just don't like getting people in trouble based on a complete and utter ASSUMPTION of illegal behaviors. do you think if this nurse was illegally taking...

  10. Is it okay for a CNA to call herself a nurse?

    JSlovex2 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    when i was a NA patients would always refer to me as nurse no matter how many times i introduced myself as assistant. there was one time this particular patient (who hit his call light every five...

  11. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    JSlovex2 replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    we have no idea i she was "snowed" or if the OP had a "clearer head." just two nights ago i had a patient point out that i looked really tired even though i wasn't aware that i looked tired. i had...

  12. Do you do venipunctures as a nurse?

    JSlovex2 replied to CassB's topic in General Nursing

    i've said this before in another thread - i personally think nurses should know how to do and be able to do any and everything that they are able to delegate. we have a lab where i work, but if the...

  13. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    JSlovex2 replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    i def. would not have told my supervisor assuming she is "well respected" and that this was a one time thing where no harm was done. was patient care compromised? has she done this before? had it...

  14. Breach of Confidentiality?

    JSlovex2 replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    i can see this being a breach of confidentiality. what if i went to the hospital and was accompanied by my husband. what if two weeks beforehand i had gone out with my girlfriend to a bar without my...

  15. Denied from nursing schools

    JSlovex2 replied to buckeye47's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    there's a community college in my area that takes applications through july for the upcoming fall. i think you need to look into more community colleges and ADN options. in the end, nobody cares where...

  16. night workers- how do you keep a normal routine/life?

    JSlovex2 replied to arnie1234's topic in General Nursing

    exercise after working 12 hours and commuting for 2? no way, jose. i'm dead tired when i get off. i guess it depends on where you work, but i get enough exercise AT work. seriously, i think if you eat...

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

    JSlovex2 replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in General Nursing

    i started out as a CNA so that i could learn some things before becoming a nurse. as a new CNA i knew NOTHING! i don't think i was expected to know anything either - how could i? i had an education...

  18. As a nurse, how do you perceive that physicians feel toward you?

    JSlovex2 replied to jaimeandjules's topic in General Nursing

    but then you'll always see the infamous debate about how a nurse is a nurse. it doesn't matter if they're a LPN, an ADN RN, or a BSN/MSN for that matter bc "they all take the same test." but when...

  19. no job after two years

    JSlovex2 replied to icedtea's topic in General Nursing

    i agree. many marriage counselors have never been married (or divorced). many rape victim advocates have never been raped. many surgeons have never had surgery. you don't have to be a RN (yet) to give...

  20. Male nurses hired faster?

    JSlovex2 replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    men typically do have more upper body strength. i don't see why it would annoy you anyway. if a 20 something female could do it then you wouldn't be exempt when it comes time to rally the troops. that...

  21. Male nurses hired faster?

    JSlovex2 replied to Chemistry Sux's topic in General Nursing

    my answer is YES - men have an advantage when it comes to being hired. like most professions - there are quotas to meet whether it be for black employees, hispanic employees, or in a female dominated...

    JSlovex2 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    there has been one patient who i responded "me too" when she said she was hungry! she was/is a frequent flyer and even though her sugar will be through the ROOF she's always begging for food! i swear...

  23. Are you serious?

    JSlovex2 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    sounds like the patient i mentioned in another thread who asked if we were going to wake him up in the middle of the night to "do this again." i was in there as the CNA was getting his vitals and...

  24. Are LPN's being phased out?

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    yup! there was a RN who was complaining the other night bc she couldn't go down to the cafeteria and get lunch because there had to be a RN on the floor and the other nurses were LPN's. there was...

  25. Looking for job - past job reference iffy - how can I check before using?

    JSlovex2 replied to tralalaRN's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with this also. i have gotten a written reference in writing from a previous employer (whom i received unemployment from and was worried about them being retalitory bc of that) and i have also...
