  1. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Absolutely without a second of hesitation. In my short time in nursing I've withdrawn care on more people than I can count, always knowing it what was they and their family wanted. The chance to be...

  2. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No because in the case of euthanasia they would be able to make their wishes known and have them carried out before they get to the point where they would be unable to make the decision for...

  3. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That you're not allowed to sleep on the job. Don't know of any job where it's okay to sleep while

  4. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Depends on hospital policy, many nurses have been fired for sleeping on

  5. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So when asked a direct question the union rep was supposed to lie? I wouldn't trust a dishonest rep. And as far as what was said on the phone, the OP was only able to hear one side of the conversation...

  6. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sadly the families don't have to do what the patient wishes. I've personally seen a pt extubated, he told his wife he wished to be a DNR/DNI because he couldn't deal with the pain and was terminal....

  7. How soon for new grad to apply for jobs?

    SionainnRN replied to Summers3's topic in California Nursing

    I stated in NV for four years and recently moved back to Cali where I grew up. I want to say the hospitals policy was if you didn't pass nclex they had you tech/cna until you were able to retake and...

  8. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's one thing to have a coworker who runs to management to tattle. No one likes that. But it seems in the OP that the manager asked and coworker answered. Completely different scenario in my opinion....

  9. How soon for new grad to apply for jobs?

    SionainnRN replied to Summers3's topic in California Nursing

    I graduated in 09 in Nevada and I had a job offer before I graduated. Depending on when you were able to take nclex you just worked under your temp license. Luckily I was able to take nclex before I...

  10. Confront or do a slow burn!

    SionainnRN replied to rich5clark's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't see how it's "playing both sides". If my manager asked me if I saw someone napping I would give an honest answer. Was your coworker supposed to lie to cover for someone? This is why I try to...

  11. How to remember everything, when giving report?

    SionainnRN replied to SeaH20RN's topic in Emergency

    I rarely use scrap or brains to get report. The turn over is so high that I tend to remember the high points and the rest is readily available by

  12. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am a huge believer in euthanasia. If a pt is of sound mind and doesn't want to live their life in what they consider suffering, then they should be able to die with dignity. I've seen too many pts...

  13. Yearly Bonus Ripped Off?

    SionainnRN replied to cd365c's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny, I wonder how long a thread with the ***** word in the title would last. I'm beyond offended that not only is it still up but the most common response to it had been "didn't know, lol"....

  14. Yearly Bonus Ripped Off?

    SionainnRN replied to cd365c's topic in General Nursing

    You need to change your title, ****** is a racist and offensive

  15. missed class

    SionainnRN replied to smmctowelie69's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    She can't get him to leave the house on time, do you really think she'll be able to get gas money out of

  16. missed class

    SionainnRN replied to smmctowelie69's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    No that's not how men are raised. Part of it is you letting him get away with behavior you don't find

  17. How Would You Take This Comment?

    SionainnRN replied to laKrugRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Sounds like she liked you but didn't know if you were going to get hired. There are so many variables with hiring, things that have nothing to do with you, that she wants you for the job but it just...

  18. missed class

    SionainnRN replied to smmctowelie69's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    15 min early is being on time. I don't know your age or life experiences but showing up at 9 for a 9 am anything doesn't equal being on time. Always aim for being 10-15 min early to everything and...

  19. If any of you are willing to answer my questions

    SionainnRN replied to m.wivine4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What does your school or language have to do with it? What the PP are saying is that the purpose of this assignment is to get you to talk, in person, with a nurse. Not to just have a stranger fill out...

  20. No emergency options! Alternate Preceptorship???

    SionainnRN replied to MrsLucky3's topic in Emergency

    That seems ridiculous since you haven't seen anything yet! Good luck in choosing and remember it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with where you'll work as a new

  21. No emergency options! Alternate Preceptorship???

    SionainnRN replied to MrsLucky3's topic in Emergency

    It's your first semester, you need to focus on the basics not on specialty areas. In my program we didn't have ICU options till our fourth and final semester, and no ER options at all. Now this didn't...

  22. Completely heartbroken over unethical instructor

    SionainnRN replied to feelinglost's topic in General Students

    Not only that but your preceptor didn't think you were ready to be a RN, is that being blamed on the professor also? I don't see anything in your OP where the professor did anything wrong, let alone...

  23. 265 q's = pass??

    SionainnRN replied to hellomello's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I personally had 265 and passed. Just try to keep busy till you can officially check. Good

  24. Advice on Essay Q: Why did you choose nursing as a career?

    SionainnRN replied to MsDanielle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is beyond disturbing on so many levels. Not only because of your actions taken as a child, but more so by the fact that you as an adult see nothing wrong with those actions and seek to use them...

  25. missed class

    SionainnRN replied to smmctowelie69's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It is up to you, and you alone, to get to class on time. Did you not know this would make you miss class? Why didn't you drop him off early? How does he normally get to work? Teachers can be a little...
