  1. Almost 4 years, no luck finding nursing job, life destroyed?!

    sofla98 replied to GotoGirlRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    You need a good attorney girl, one who will fight for what is right. If everything you posted is true and you were fired for those reasons, then it sounds like a lawsuit to me. Gotta love the BON. I...

  2. Angry Nurse here!

    sofla98 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Someone on the first pages put that adding a laxitive could be illegal. HOW EXACTLY? IT IS YOUR FOOD, YOUR INGREDIENTS, RIGHT? This happened all the time when I worked in the adult hospital down the...

  3. Ohio University Online FNP.. can they legally do this?

    sofla98 replied to BowHunterRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you checked into Miami U? I was going to check their website to see what they offer... Haha on the taking us serious part. My original email to them about the grade issues was almost a month ago....

  4. Ohio University Online FNP.. can they legally do this?

    sofla98 replied to BowHunterRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Britt, were you in the program as well? So far this is what has happened over the last week:______________. NOTHING!!! I was informed this evening that the grade was changed...But to what, I have no...

  5. Ohio University Online FNP.. can they legally do this?

    sofla98 replied to BowHunterRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sounds fishy to me. I am (was?) enrolled in the program. I started last summer. I had a 3.0 GPA until this last semester. I got a D- in my last class and cannot move on (the class was a total joke,...

  6. Tell me about your unit's general attitude & morale...

    sofla98 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am interested in hearing about the attitude and morale on your unit... Please include the type of unit, types you work with (women/men, noobs/seasoned vets).

  7. Nurse in Recovery in Ohio

    sofla98 replied to been2hell&back's topic in Nurses Recovery

    http://www.nursing-jurisprudence.com/home.html Check out this website/attorney. She specializes in cases involving the Ohio BON. I came across her site while writing a paper. Good Luck with your...

  8. Useless manager or have I misplaced my backbone?

    sofla98 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So a while ago, I was pulled into THE office by my manager. She stated that another nurse came to her and said that I did not respond to a patient emergency because I was too busy "spending time" with...

  9. Useless manager or have I misplaced my backbone?

    sofla98 replied to sofla98's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am going to. the thing is, my manager really really needs some help with her ADHD problem. I am being serious. She is a hot mess and I have no idea how they pick these people to be managers. They...

  10. the young eating the old??

    sofla98 replied to nursecat64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally get where you are coming from, in a way anyhow. I have been a nurse (non-stop) for 13 years. I worked on an extremely busy tele/surgical unit for 8 years, did ortho/surgical for a bit,...

  11. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

    sofla98 replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So, in other words, you're probably one of those nurses this SIX year old thread is about. Or, you are a new nurse who doesn't understand what she is talking about but used big words to try and sound...

  12. Info Please. Anyone know of online schools to become an RN

    sofla98 replied to Trina71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check out your local large teaching hospitals...most of them have a nursing school. I think you can probably take some of your academic classes online, just depends on the curriculum of the...

  13. Ok..vent..advise...dunno

    sofla98 replied to Sparrowhawk's topic in General Nursing

    I'd refuse to work it as it is putting both you and the facility at risk due to the fatigue you're sure to experience trying to work like that. If they don't value your hard work and dedication, then...

  14. How do you cope with work and co-workers:(

    sofla98 replied to lifein08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I keep busy. Honestly, I can work my entire shift and not sit down in the nurses station if I want to. The fact of the matter is, we have to be professional. I work with quite a few people that drive...

  15. Accepted to Frontier Nursing University....WHOOO HOOO

    sofla98 replied to TonieRN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am on the fence about applying to Frontier. I work with a couple of people who go there and I have heard some good things, but I heard (just a couple) not so good things, too. Can I ask when you...

  16. Clarification. :) My Manager is Gossiping about me. What do I do?

    sofla98 replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Honey, YOU are digging your own grave. If I had a break down like this every time someone said something nasty about me, I'd be locked up in the mental ward by now. I am a very good nurse. I work my...

  17. Supervising a coworker with the same amount of experience

    sofla98 replied to luckynurse_1234's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Having had almost 15 years experience, I've worn many different hats being a nurse. Being in charge literally means, being in charge. If the nurse was swamped (I know I would be w/six patients ) then...

  18. I did a stupid, stupid thing...Need Advise!!

    sofla98 replied to New_LPN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sorry you have had such a hard time lately...when it rains it pours, right? You are not stupid, and what you did is not stupid. Stupid would be downing bottle after bottle of wine (beer, vodka, etc)...

  19. Slow nurse response time is a danger to pt health

    sofla98 replied to SoCalCrafter's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Now it is "violently vomiting"? She was admitted to a unit bed for belly pain, a CCU bed at that? I am really questioning this entire thread. Just doesn't seem right to me. IF she was in the CCU,...

  20. Change is scary!

    sofla98 replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd keep the job you have and look for another position in-house that would fit your needs. But, that's what I would do in your situation. If you are financially secure enough to take a pay cut and...

  21. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    sofla98 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ummm...if you read the OP this is for F-U-N. So, Jeez, relax your crack a bit hon. I love *most* of my co-workers. I have been a nurse for many many years, the things I wrote about are not only about...

  22. Things you'd LOVE to tell coworkers...and get away with it!

    sofla98 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You failed the NCLEX four times? There really is a God! You always get here early? That's great! Read the patient worksheets, yes those clipped together with with your name on it, instead of stuffing...

  24. Work Experience for getting RN job

    sofla98 replied to NSGstudent12's topic in General Nursing

    I second this advice Being a pharmacy tech in the hospital would provide you many more opportunities than being a pharmacy tech in a chain pharmacy. The pharm techs where I work do many different...

  25. New Grad: two ICU job offers. Which one to choose?

    sofla98 replied to newgradinicu's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would pick job # 2. You've already spent time on the unit and with the staff. It is a guaranteed job, unlike job # 1, and you'll definitely be enrolled in the CrCare classes. Six weeks of...
