  1. Is legal to replace medication drawn up in a syringe back in the multi-vial

    SleeepyRN replied to mdavisRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm a new grad, still constantly learning. So this question is purely for my learning purposes, not meant to question the practice of your facility. You stated that your work place places unused...

  2. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    SleeepyRN replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I actually have a good example of how charting early screwed me. I was working 3-11. It was a particularly bad day (my last day before I quit actually.) I was majorly behind on my med pass. At 1900...

  3. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    SleeepyRN replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Best of luck to you. I love hearing that you're taking full responsibility and not making excuses. People are way more likely to be a little lenient when you own up to it and offer on your own ways in...

  4. What is your favorite nursing scrub design? Do you have one?

    SleeepyRN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    We had to wear all white in my first LTC job. We had uniforms that they gave us that to me, just looked sloppy. They looked like cook's uniforms. The collar was lined yellow for CNAs and blue for...

  5. I've wasted my spring break!

    SleeepyRN replied to rubato's topic in General Students

    I had to laugh when I read this. Ahhh. Only in nursing school do we look at breaks as extra time to study. "A week off of school! I'm gonna get so much studying done!" Lol. Oh the memories. Hopefully...

  6. What other books do you use

    SleeepyRN replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    When I was behind, there were times I ONLY used the reviews and rationales books. You don't have to scan through paragraphs to find what you're looking for. Its very concise. I always tell everyone...

  7. First clinical day was a nightmare

    SleeepyRN replied to freckles23's topic in General Students

    I don't know if OP believes in God, but I can see God having sent this student to her to be with her through the whole process. (Since patients get extra attention when they have a student nurse in...

  8. I dropped out. Please console me

    SleeepyRN replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    Straight A overachiever? Heck, give yourself the break. Enjoy your life right now, I say

  9. define break...lol

    SleeepyRN replied to lkulmann's topic in General Nursing

    In LTC my "break" was when I got 10 minutes to chart during my

  10. Just curious.....

    SleeepyRN replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I completely agree. I've just talked about it so much without support that I had finally given up trying to convince others that I have the same knowledge as a BSN because my ADN program made sure of...

  11. Just curious.....

    SleeepyRN replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Even though I will have to repeat certain topics, in my initial post I admitted its a fact of life (dumb as it is) but I'm still doing

  12. EMS hitch this one takes the Cake!!

    SleeepyRN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have no issue with EMTs. I have issue with the ones who have recently come to this site putting down LTC nurses. Specifically the one that asked if they should question the competence of the nurses...

    SleeepyRN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll reply as I damn well

  14. Regarding nursing students- was this too much to ask?

    SleeepyRN replied to blondy2061h's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If I were the student, I would have been very appreciative

  15. Stop complaining about your job - It could be worse.

    SleeepyRN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    While I like the cartoon, and as much as other people's problems can help put ours into perspective, I'm a staunch believer that just because other people have their own issues, that it doesn't make...

  16. Are nurses really respected???

    SleeepyRN replied to Nolander's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think its appropriate in ICU or oncology, but on med-surg floors I've heard grown adult patients say how much they like the nurse's scrubs. I've heard this many many times. It can also be an...

  17. Just curious.....

    SleeepyRN replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We did this in my ADN program in our management

  18. Nurses who have done the flu shot clinics...

    SleeepyRN replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nursing Career

    It starts in fall, but when I spoke with the person who handled setting up interviews, she told me I was too late to apply and that its best to apply either in march or may, I don't remember. The...

  19. What other books do you use

    SleeepyRN replied to Kimynurse's topic in General Students

    I can't emphasize this book enough Prentice Halls Reviews and Rationales (the med-surge one) Prentice Halls Reviews and Rationales (the med-surge one) Prentice Halls Reviews and Rationales...

  20. Just curious.....

    SleeepyRN replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Oh, and as to your question: My ADN program required numerous papers in APA format all throughout the program. And they were TOUGH on grading. Im proud to say that I did very well on my papers. One of...

  21. Just curious.....

    SleeepyRN replied to Student Mom to Three's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Lol, you sound like me. I've written about this many times. UNFORTUNATELY, it's becoming a fact of life and when I can, although resentfully, I'll finish my

  22. "Loosing" my license

    SleeepyRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    In reference to defaulting on student loans, I recall reading (sorry, can't recall the source) that it was if your loan was a federal loan. Is this true? I've tried googling my lender and can't answer...

  23. EMS hitch this one takes the Cake!!

    SleeepyRN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Someone just isn't using their common sense when they come to a nursing website and complain as an EMT, with a whole whopping year of CNA experience, about a nurse.

  24. Left position that stunk, feeling bad...

    SleeepyRN replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in Nursing Career

    As far as reporting all jobs, would this include working as a tech in a Hosp before I was a

  25. EMS hitch this one takes the Cake!!

    SleeepyRN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If your account is accurate, then the LPN wasn't prioritizing and using her resources (the RN). But really? Again, the point if this post is???? OK, I need to sign off now. Forgive my crankiness. I've...
