  1. Depression is terminal??

    SionainnRN replied to Clementia's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If she hadn't publicly called me out, stating I made horrible rude and insensitive remarks I wouldn't have to defend myself. If the op has been an adult and just started a thread on whether depression...

  2. Depression is terminal??

    SionainnRN replied to Clementia's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Yes, and that's what I was talking about. The group of people who despite meds and therapy will continue to attempt suicide. And that's what I said in my original post that the OP is referencing but...

  3. Depression is terminal??

    SionainnRN replied to Clementia's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This thread has nothing to do with Brittany. It has to do with the OP taking offense to something I said in a different thread and starting this whole thing rather than talking to me

  4. 3 Written Warnings for a Facebook Post

    SionainnRN replied to careo180's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you were terminated or left on bad terms many places will have you on a DNR list, do not rehire. This is one of the things future employers will ask your previous employers, if you're eligible for...

  5. Depression is terminal??

    SionainnRN replied to Clementia's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's one thing if she had started a thread to discuss the issue, but this was specifically about me not the issue. There's a big difference. How would you feel if I started a thread about the things...

  6. Rules for Triage

    SionainnRN replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    What's worse is when we can identify them by the EMS radio call. That's when they are super duper frequent fliers.

  7. We in hospice have a lot of educating to do

    SionainnRN replied to duskyjewel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Wow, the other poster was just trying to point out that there are a lot of different types of tumors and cancers, all with different symptoms, even if they are both terminal. I think you're...

  8. Depression is terminal??

    SionainnRN replied to Clementia's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Wow, if you wanted to talk to me you could have just sent me a PM. You took what I said completely out of context and forgot about half of it. What I said was that in some cases depression can be...

  9. I can't believe this just happened!!!

    SionainnRN replied to stunurse2015's topic in General Students

    I'm assuming blank is a hospital, and if so I think shooting him an email in a few days expressing your thanks and interest would be appropriate. You can also inquire if they have a nurse apprentice...

  10. We in hospice have a lot of educating to do

    SionainnRN replied to duskyjewel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I doubt she just took the diagnosis and ran right to death with dignity. Like I said for all we know she is currently on hospice to help manage the symptoms till Nov 1. I can't imagine having to face...

  11. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

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

    I'm not agreeing with her, but if you did forget to give abx isn't that somewhat write up worthy? I personally wouldn't, just let the nurse know they forgot it, but a write up, especially if it was a...

  12. We in hospice have a lot of educating to do

    SionainnRN replied to duskyjewel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The woman who is choosing to die on nov 1 has nothing to do with your friend, and to make her choice a reflection of your friend seems unfair at the very least. It sounds like your friend met death on...

  13. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

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

    It must be regional. What area are you in? I'm on the west coast and I've worked in 5 different hospitals and I've never seen anyone hired into day shift. And some of the hospitals are magnet. I work...

  14. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

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

    You must have had amazing luck because your experience is not the norm. 9/10 if there's an opening on days it's given to a night shifter. I've never actually seen someone hired right into a day...

  15. Newbies Who Want to Pay ZERO Dues Schedule-Wise

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

    And God forbid they get called on their attitude because they'll immediately cry NETY! Sigh, it's getting old

  16. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    SionainnRN replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I work in the ER so I wouldn't even know for sure till after the fact. But that's life of an ER nurse, can't tell you how many times we find out days later about what our pts have: TB, meningitis,...

  17. Sepsis

    SionainnRN replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    Sounds like my ER sepsis bundle. I'm in a huge level 1 trauma ER and very very rarely do we use CVP

  18. Discovered a possible diversion of meds, now what?

    SionainnRN replied to msnurse123's topic in Patient Medications

    Holy smokes!!! 150!?!?!? I'm always amazed when I hear stories like this because they do seem to have huge numbers attached to them. Good thing you reported what you saw and they followed up.

  19. Level 1 Trauma Center University Hospitals

    SionainnRN replied to NurseMedic28's topic in Nursing Career

    That can easily be found through Google. What research have you done on this? What are you looking for in a hospital? Are you looking for ER or trauma? What state, or even part of the country? Do you...

  20. Compensation for ACLS or BSN

    SionainnRN replied to MvbRn's topic in General Nursing

    ACLS and PALS are required so they pay for the renewal classes and the hours spent in class. One hospital I worked at paid 5% for BSN and then an additional 5% for either CCRN or

  21. We in hospice have a lot of educating to do

    SionainnRN replied to duskyjewel's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Well said

  22. I think I might have blown a vein?

    SionainnRN replied to KG MSN RN CCRN CEN's topic in General Students

    If you're responding to me, I didn't presume. I was giving friendly advice as many students and nurses don't realize that there could be consequences for taking IV start kits

  23. Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    SionainnRN replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    When I was in nursing school I had an instructor ambush our clinical group one afternoon with a Native American religious ceremony. I told her I was uncomfortable with it as it went against my...

  24. Which unit has the most code blues?

    SionainnRN replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    Or the parking lot or

  25. Which unit has the most code blues?

    SionainnRN replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    Neither do ERs usually so that's hard to figure
