    Would you be concerned about this potential exposure?

    TriciaJ replied to Lottieda's topic in General Nursing

    If you didn't feel anything land on you it's unlikely anything did. If you know you have a habit of biting your lip and didn't taste anything but saliva, that's the likeliest possibility. Did you...

    I was found out!

    TriciaJ replied to cwilliams032's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure anyone who's worked with me could identify me by my username, work history and the way I say things. I just keep that in mind when I post anything. I have posted things about previous...

    Personal support workers calling themselves nurses?

    TriciaJ replied to guest1048932's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This has been going on since the dawn of time. You might point out to your coworkers that misrepresenting themselves is fraudulent, just like passing a bad cheque and the BON can impose civil...

    Responsible for 132 clients and Working during breaks

    TriciaJ replied to Nroh's topic in General Nursing

    No, it is not legal to be required to clock out for your break and also be required to skip your break. And previous posters are right: If you happen to be clocked out when something bad happens,...

    Tubex carpuject holder

    TriciaJ replied to Chevy2783's topic in General Nursing

    I have a clear one with the white plunger and teal-coloured finger flange. The barrel has "Carpuject" embossed on it. Is that what you're looking

    Why Do We Continue to Harm Patients?

    TriciaJ replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I can't "like" and agree with this more. Here is my experience with "staffing" committees: our unit manager chaired the committee. The same one who kept us lean so she could win brownie points with...

    Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    TriciaJ replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    You probably mean nuances. Administration likes to add the nuisances.

    Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    TriciaJ replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    That's where your preceptor comes in. S/he's the person who's been doing it all these years. Sometimes the school way actually is new and improved. And sometimes it isn't. When I was a student, my...

    Nurse Bullying. Have you experienced it?

    TriciaJ replied to Alexx_xox's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Are you planning to give the survey to the guy you don't like? If so, that is a very indirect approach. Give us some specific examples of his behaviour and we may be able to help you address it...

    Fired for Falsifying Documents. What to expect

    TriciaJ replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you're right about this, LadysSolo. Newbie, I read through your previous threads and 2 things jumped out: You struggle with anxiety and you have a track record of med errors. I really hope...

    Resume Feedback PLEASE

    TriciaJ replied to blessedNhopeful's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Please be careful to avoid Schoolgirlspeak. "Really cool hospital" - take that out. You might also skip describing yourself as motivated and compassionate. I have no doubt you are those things, but...

    Nursing nightmares.

    TriciaJ replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I, too, just retired two months ago, and it's been ten years since I worked med-surg. But right up until a couple of years ago, I would frequently have the forgotten patient dream. I'd dream that I...

    My children made the choice for me

    TriciaJ replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I think you will not regret being home more for your kids. You are right; your kids are only young once and they need you now. You will cross the necessary career hurdles when it's time. Wishing...

    Evaluation scaries

    TriciaJ replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    15% is pretty dismal. Could that be part of the rationale for over-treating? People who don't have a severe disorder would have a better track record with or without treatment. Are they brought in...

    Did I break HIPAA?

    TriciaJ replied to brunette2296's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If I had seen that post I would know that: 1. The hospital is riddled with C-diff. 2. The MDs are incompetent and have to be taught by nurses. 3. It's a good day when someone is placed in...

    Nurses replaced by robots

    TriciaJ replied to Grobyc82's topic in Nursing News

    Not need breaks and food? The powers that be already think we don't need breaks and food. Then there is the robotic scripting. They don't need robots. They already have us. But I'd love to see a...

    Evaluation scaries

    TriciaJ replied to Nursebry91's topic in Nurses Recovery

    But wouldn't that be the whole point of an "evaluation"? So people aren't railroaded into a one-size-fits-nobody? I, too, had no idea the whole thing was such a racket till I started reading about...
