  1. side rail use in private duty homecare

    Girlafraid13 replied to Nursing.capps's topic in Private Duty

    Didn't even think about reading the 485. Just went through it and there it is side rails up for safety

  2. Interviewing

    Girlafraid13 replied to Crosobien's topic in General Nursing

    Business attire. Slacks/khakis with Oxford and tie sound like a good idea. It's better to be over dressed unless the interviewer specifically tells you no need to dress

  3. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Girlafraid13 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I told her to shove it where the sun don't shine in real life (not fb life) but that's a whole different story. don't even know why they're still on my fb

  4. side rail use in private duty homecare

    Girlafraid13 replied to Nursing.capps's topic in Private Duty

    I agree I think it would make more sense for side rails rather than a chair. I've heard of elderly trying to get out of bed and end up getting stuck between the rails maybe that's why it's not...

  5. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Girlafraid13 replied to murseforever's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    One of my fb friends does that. She calls herself a nurse but is a CNA, it bothers

  6. side rail use in private duty homecare

    Girlafraid13 replied to Nursing.capps's topic in Private Duty

    From what I've been taught is residents technically have the right to leave, even the nonmobile ones. Go figure. I'm curious about the pediatric pt in a crib

  7. side rail use in private duty homecare

    Girlafraid13 replied to Nursing.capps's topic in Private Duty

    When I worked at a residential care facility we were only allowed to have one side of the bed have rails up. We "created"(with a chair) another side rail at bed time so resident wouldn't try to roll...

  9. new grad: cant find a job

    Girlafraid13 replied to 2016New's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My advice to you is to keep applying to hospitals/clinics/snfs/jails/school nurse i sent out about 300 resumes and only received 3 interviews. And the job I was offered was advertised as 1 year...

  11. Is it worth renewing my license?

    Girlafraid13 replied to rayshell626's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It would probably be very hard to get an lvn position in a hospital in socal with no experience. But if you're open to a snf, private duty, home health etc I think you have a

  12. Failed English 101 twice! Need advice!

    Girlafraid13 replied to DorianFrancis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my community college you can't have an F in any pre reqs which include English. I guess it really depends on ur

  14. Would you have called out?

    Girlafraid13 replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and the last time I called out because I was very very sick couldn't even get out of bed so my replacement actually walked out and said this case was too hard. (Pt wouldn't stop having seizures,...

  15. Would you have called out?

    Girlafraid13 replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    No I wouldn't have called out. I rarely even put in requests for time off for family. (Unless it's immediate family). Even then if my request was denied I would not call

  16. accepted a job but finally got an interview from the hospital i really wanted to work at

    Girlafraid13 replied to vincentnurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree and would say something came up and have to either leave early/miss work. Definitely wouldn't say I'm going to another

  17. working during a nursing program?

    Girlafraid13 replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Students

    I worked 60 hours a week for about 4 months during nursing school. I had to quit. I was too miserable and I would fall asleep while driving! I said screw it and took out a loan. Don't regret

  18. Perfume at work?

    Girlafraid13 replied to fawnmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Have you ever tried rubbing coconut oil on yourself? It doesn't smell like coconut at all its more like a neutral smell in my opinion. No one's ever told me I smell like coconut. It's like olive oil...

    Girlafraid13 replied to fawnmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I use coconut oil with a few drops of essential oils. It smells nice and the scent isn't very

  21. New grad looking for a job, but wants a vacation

    Girlafraid13 replied to Jsng11's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it's just a personal choice, I know plenty of nurses who take time off even as new hires. If I could rewind I would have taken a trip before starting my job but would feel too embarrassed to...

  22. Difficult family member

    Girlafraid13 replied to darkbeauty's topic in Private Duty

    Oh no. I would definitely report to supervisor file a formal complaint with them(so they can't say you never told them) and call aps. Some people actually believe medications are given to speed up...

  23. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    Girlafraid13 replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Leveyan satanism is more of an atheist way of life rather than religion. But some argue that atheism is a religion? hmm with the technicalities. I mostly follow the eleven rules because it's natural....

  24. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    Girlafraid13 replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I believe in being a human being that knows right from wrong not based on a book or religion. The seven deadly sins are in the book which is on amazon called the satanic bible. It's interesting, I...

    Girlafraid13 replied to GadgetRN71's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Yea ok. Now I don't think you really care to see my views so I'll leave it at that. It really doesn't matter what I believe. Well to you at least. I don't care if you think greed is OK or not.I was...
