  2. The consequences of religious belief..

    MN-Nurse replied to collins anyiam's topic in General Students

  3. Anyone made to actually work two more weeks when resigning during orientation?

    MN-Nurse replied to luvapug's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot tell if you are being purposefully evasive or not. Just to be clear, if someone is working as a regular employee and is making a decision about when to put in their two weeks' notice, your...

    MN-Nurse replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wow. This post may hold the world record for false analogy. Rather

  5. Mandated Flu vaccine?

    MN-Nurse replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It reeks of preventing the spread of disease. You have the right to refuse to wash your hands before patient contact if you want. But if you exercise it you need to find something else to do for a...

  7. Anyone made to actually work two more weeks when resigning during orientation?

    MN-Nurse replied to luvapug's topic in General Nursing

    "Considering the implications" is clealy not the part anyone has a problem with. Of course you consider. My hospital put a lot of resources toward my orientation. I greatly appreciate their investment...

    MN-Nurse replied to luvapug's topic in General Nursing

    I took it as a playful joke about the fact that no one lets you clock in, then change

  9. Ativan...ETOH History...7mg IV last night? Too much?

    MN-Nurse replied to Jomo1994z71's topic in Patient Medications

    I had a preceptorship in the ICU during school. My first patient was a relapsed ETOHer with pancreatitis on a vent. He was on precedex, versed, insulin, and heparin drips and had SL and IV ativan....

  10. Vaccination Waiver Please Help Quick!!

    MN-Nurse replied to HHagedorn's topic in General Students

    Thankfully, the OP's stance is becoming increasingly rare and justifiably marginalized. However, there are still some holdouts. I started attending nursing school in 2009 and the "anti-vaccine" craze...

  11. Clinical Hair

    MN-Nurse replied to VampsGal2009's topic in General Students

    Hmm..I'm not sure. Is your hair

  13. Advantages/Disadvantages being a male in nursing

    MN-Nurse replied to wannabFNP's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Nope. Not even a little

  14. Nursing School while still working?

    MN-Nurse replied to djdietz's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Your estimate and approach to the academic challenge seems spot on. Working 20 hours a week is definitely doable during Nursing School. What job do you plan on working at? If you want to position...

  15. Gasp! An uninsured Nurse (rant)

    MN-Nurse replied to optimist's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it is a tragedy that you, like so many other Americans, don't have access to affordable health

  16. Just started my first nursing job last week, is it too early to put it on my resume?

    MN-Nurse replied to sillywilly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, today is definitely too soon to put your new job on your resume. First thing tomorrow morning would be just fine

  17. ADN or BSN (suggestions please):)

    MN-Nurse replied to Ready-Set-Go's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you can afford it, get a BSN. If you cannot, get an ADN. Either way, do VERY well in school and get at least two years healthcare experience before you

  18. How do you deal with feces???

    MN-Nurse replied to JLWilliams11's topic in General Students

    I assume that you, like everybody, poop. You are quite used to dealing with your own feces. In time, you will become quite accustomed to dealing with

  20. How do you deal with suspected addicts?

    MN-Nurse replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I document the pertinent info in a progress note and put in order requests for chemical dependency and psych consults. Gives them more targets to abuse besides just me. (Oh, and it might even get them...

  21. Petition to forgive student loan debt!

    MN-Nurse replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

    You know who would REALLY love this? For-profit colleges. I'd be in favor of occupational programs that would have debt forgiveness upon completion, but to just wipe it out completely is a bad idea....

  22. Verbal abuse at work

    MN-Nurse replied to mimi1jb's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry that happened and it is unacceptable. I'm very thankful to work on a unit where, if any nurse tried this (especially a male one) the other RNs would hand his ass to him verbally,...

  23. NEW Hospice RN Case Manager Question!!

    MN-Nurse replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in Home Health

    Sometimes they are hard to catch during a visit. If the dressing doesn't look super fresh, I'd take a peek too. Especially given the horrors of how hospice pts were treated at the LTC my first CNA...

  24. Why is it that LTC experience doesnt matter when applying for a hospital based job?

    MN-Nurse replied to KarriRN's topic in General Nursing

    I saw at least 3 RNs from LTC TCUs hired for the float pool during my last CNA job and there were a few LTC nurses in orientation with me at my current
