  1. Advice with burnout

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to ajackson's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Not to be discouraging, but, how are you going to pay for school related to interior design? What are your employment prospects? Will your first year of income in interior design balance out with...

  2. Lost med

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to katiebuglpn60's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously, get a lawyer, even though the cost may seem burdensome. The board of nursing's main interest is "protecting the public" not getting to the truth, and you diverting the medication for self...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The procedures done on intersexed individuals are different than male or female circumcisions. For intersexed individuals the genitalia is

  4. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, you're right I don't have a Phd in male reproduction, I didn't know that was required to respond to this post. I have washed and cleaned a lot of male genitalia over the years, and while my...

  5. Positives of Starting Nursing Career during COVID

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Alexandra26's topic in General Nursing

    I echo the poster above. I've had to take on nursing assignments that in normal times I would have never entertained the idea of accepting under normal circumstances. My co-workers and I have pushed...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting, I'll have to look and see what type mine has,

  7. What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Don't feel guilty, if you're sick or overburdened then you need the time. You have to take care of your own needs, It's not the end of the world if they have to work short, if they would hire enough...

  8. I am under investigation by BON. Ethical question: Share or not share with potential employers?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    Davey.... There's no Wrongway? I've been hearing about this facility for years, so many stories of yours I've read about it, if it's not real, is any of this real?

  9. MSN Program

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to bsn3332's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a student of either, though I've done quite a bit of research on both. Walden has a wide range of programs, I've heard from some people that their education was good others who said it wasn't....

  10. Out of My Element Again

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    We must work for the same system. When I was in psych we had a report sheet for each patient that was designed like yours for a medical floor. Labs, IV's, I/O, X-ray, etc. It was so silly, the reason...

  11. What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    DK123, is the issue that you feel guilty for calling out, or do you feel angry when others call

  12. Bipartisan Senate duo crafts censure resolution that seeks to bar Trump from office

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I think this is the best course of action, the most important thing is to make sure he can't run again. It would also allow the senate to focus on more pressing

  13. Trump and Justice Dept. Lawyer Said to Have Plotted to Oust Acting Attorney General --Another Coup Attenpt

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I just want to scour him and the past 4 years from history, throw him in a cage, and forget all about him. I think the most dangerous part of his "legacy" is how he has empowered the alt right in our...

  14. Covid Vaccine

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I admit that in years gone by I was very militantly pro-vaccine for everything, especially measles and flu. I felt like people in healthcare should get them or get out. I don't believe this anymore, I...

  15. I don't know if I can do this...

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to lily8424's topic in General Nursing

    You gotta give yourself time. You're going to feel clueless for about 6months then you'll finally get your groove at around a year. It sounds like you were managing your assignment the best that you...

  17. Out of My Element Again

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Hi silverbells, So, sometimes especially when we are new to a facility or even position whether it's clinical or managerial , we have to prove that they made the right decision in hiring us. A...

  18. Help Ban Genital Cosmetic Surgery on Children

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    My hang up with "cosmetic abortions" is that I just don't grasp it. Cosmetic is physical appearance enhancing, so a metaphor maybe for doing something to make a statement or seems fashionable. Is that...

  20. HELP - Goals for PMHNP preceptor/clinicals

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to NurseKateP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Part of FullGlass's frustrations are how many people are becoming PMHNP's without any experience in psych and that this is being encouraged. Yet to become an acute care NP you have to have acute care...

  21. What is your opinion on "calling in sick" when not really sick?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't judge why people call in because you never know what people are going through. Yes, it sucks working short, but I work short even when there aren't call ins. If our employers wouldn't run...

  22. COVID-19: Cooling vests could alleviate heat strain caused by PPE

    TheMoonisMyLantern posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    PLEASE give me a cooling vest, I burn up every night under all this garb.

  23. Failed orientation, now what?

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to jms01's topic in General Nursing

    Never say never. But not being able to work night shift may very limit your prospects when it comes to acute care. It is really hard especially in competitive settings for a new grad or a nurse with...

  24. Leaving Work / Nurse Duties Incomplete Passing To Night Shift

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to coffeeandvendingmachines's topic in General Nursing

    You'd be surprised. It has happened to me more than one time that a nurse had orders in the AM to transfuse blood and "never got around to it". I also had a patient with an SBO with an NG tube to...

  25. COVID-19: Cooling vests could alleviate heat strain caused by PPE

    TheMoonisMyLantern replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wow Rose it's amazing you guys have those, I really hope they become more readily available and used. Even without PPE I tend to burn up and I would be fine with sporting a cooling vest
