  1. Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    SionainnRN replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Yep it's much easier to sit on your computer or smart phone begging for money than going out there and busting your butt working for it. Now natural disaster, act of God type thing that's a different...

  2. Can a Experienced Nurse without a BSN....

    SionainnRN replied to RunawayN's topic in California Nursing

    I'm in SoCal, 5 years experience in ER and ICU, have my BSN trying to get a full time gig, so far no luck. Going on three months so far. It's a brutal brutal

  3. Are there too many nursing programs out there?

    SionainnRN replied to johndough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dude, seriously? You really don't get it. And we still haven't had anyone else of a different major blame their school for not being able to get a

  4. Seasoned Nurses Looking To Tattle?

    SionainnRN replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It sounds like you were already biased against this nurse before this incident. But honestly if I'm taking over a pt it's well within my right to go through the charting as I see fit, not as you see...

  5. Mandatory flu shots????

    SionainnRN replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No no no that causes breast cancer

  6. Seasoned Nurses Looking To Tattle?

    SionainnRN replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    But if she was taking over the pt why wouldn't she be allowed to look through your

  7. Are there too many nursing programs out there?

    SionainnRN replied to johndough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Except YOU don't blame your school for the over saturation! That is the whole argument. How do you not understand that? And since all of your comments have been directed at me and my posts do you...

  8. Are there too many nursing programs out there?

    SionainnRN replied to johndough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You point out that rad techs are over saturated and are blaming their schools, citing my post (after the fact) then state you don't blame your school? That argument makes zero sense. But whatever....

  9. Are there too many nursing programs out there?

    SionainnRN replied to johndough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay so you're blaming your school instead of yourself like you should be. And now you're going from one over saturated field to another over saturated field and expecting a different outcome?...

  10. Are there too many nursing programs out there?

    SionainnRN replied to johndough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What does that have to do with my post? I think the onus is on the student to make sure their major has job opportunities for when they graduate. It's not the colleges fault if graduates can't find...

  11. Are there too many nursing programs out there?

    SionainnRN replied to johndough's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think blaming anything on the nursing programs is ridiculous. You don't see any other major blaming their lack of job prospects on the schools do you? I think nursing students need to take personal...

  12. Big bad bullies

    SionainnRN replied to ljrn135's topic in Emergency

    I think just addressing the problem straight on with examples and ways things could have been handled better is much more effective than rhyming slogans. We are adults, treat us like

  13. Big bad bullies

    SionainnRN replied to ljrn135's topic in Emergency

    I personally find the idea of a cutesy phrase juvenile and disrespectful. Talk and treat me like an adult, not a kindergartner. Just my two

  14. Student Nurse

    SionainnRN replied to schroe35's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Same places female nurses are

  15. Seasoned Nurses Looking To Tattle?

    SionainnRN replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You are correct, I guessed I missed the second post. If the nurse was taking over the pt they absolutely had a right to look through the chart and ask for

  16. Conscious Sedation in ED

    SionainnRN replied to foragreatergood's topic in Emergency

    Usually procedural sedation is one to one with cardiac monitoring along with everything else. As far as the drugs they use that can be doctor preference. In my experience the docs I've worked with...

  17. Patient's rights dilemma

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

    Same with an IV but when known drug users elope from the ER with an IV in place we still send the cops to their house to do a welfare check on them and have it

  18. Seasoned Nurses Looking To Tattle?

    SionainnRN replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If a nurse had no business being in the chart, as in the OPs example, that is a HIPAA violation. Looking at the charting on a pt you're taking over in is standard nursing protocol. Charge nurse...

  19. I/O in ER

    SionainnRN replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Emergency

    When I was in the ICU I was the same way. But it's completely different beast in the ER. And honestly I&Os isn't high on my priority

  20. Incompatible drips

    SionainnRN replied to cablefree's topic in MICU, SICU

    If micromedics and the pharmacy tell me they aren't compatible, there's no way in hell I'm dumb enough to ignore them and mix them just for fun. If you do that in your practice then you are putting...

  21. Seasoned Nurses Looking To Tattle?

    SionainnRN replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It's one thing for the charge nurse to check your charting, it's another for a staff nurse to go through your charting looking for excuses to pick on you. They are night and day. There are lots of...

  22. Incompatible drips

    SionainnRN replied to cablefree's topic in MICU, SICU

    Please tell me this is sarcasm? You absolutely should listen to pharmacy, your coworkers and of course

  23. Patient's rights dilemma

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

    How is it an EMTALA violation? That is for

  24. What will my future employers consider me as?

    SionainnRN replied to Dressagern's topic in General Students

    You do not have a BSN. You will be an ADN

  25. Seasoned Nurses Looking To Tattle?

    SionainnRN replied to PCnurse88's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My only thought, other than it being completely inappropriate, is that it's a HIPAA violation. They have no business being in all those charts and if someone were to do an electronic audit they would...
