  1. The math doesn't add up

    SleeepyRN replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    Ok so its a business. Is a bank teller going to be the one writing a thank you note? No,thats corporate's

  2. Professionals or "workers"

    SleeepyRN replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Ive recently realized myself that its a touchy subject. My father in law has a bumper sticker that reads union with a circle around it and a line across it (anti union) I dont get it. But Im...

  3. Professionals or "workers"

    SleeepyRN replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Im thinking Im not understanding OP's post then. I admit I was wrong. Im pleading ignorance. I guess I dont get it, so Ill leave the topic alone. In my defense on another note, I did point out that I...

  4. Keeping A Written Record Of The Patients You've Had: Good Or Bad?

    SleeepyRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I think as long as you keep your records in the building its ok. Like in a locker, absolutely nowhere where it could be stumbled upon, though to be viewed by others

  5. Hipaa violation or not? Phone number error...

    SleeepyRN replied to hunagirl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Judgement should be left out,

  6. Hipaa violation or not? Phone number error...

    SleeepyRN replied to hunagirl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I truly do feel for you on this situation. However, I dont feel the staff was careless. The system was flawed, not the staff. If Im the staff member calling, I look up the number in the computer and...

  7. Professionals or "workers"

    SleeepyRN replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    MN Nurse's response to the original poster was uncalled for. There, that is my specific example. The poor OP was just confused and wanted opinions and advice, not to be told that she needed manners....

  8. Professionals or "workers"

    SleeepyRN replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Quite the contrary. I love a healthy debate. Ironically, I was referring to the people who actually ARE incapable of having a different opinion and respond rudely. It only has to go like this "this is...

  9. Dear Nursing Students/Orientees: A Love Note from the Preceptor from Hell

    SleeepyRN replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Students

    It was a potentially great initial post. What I believe to be lacking are examples to really understand where you are coming from. What behaviors have you specifically seen that you are responding to....

  10. What's the weirdest thing management has said to you?

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

    "No lunch"... we all know what would happen. The nurses would continuously have to write no lunch, overtime would have to be paid, then the threats would come about all the overtime so you go back to...

  11. What's the weirdest thing management has said to you?

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

    Chart. That. You. Charted??? Sorry, I had to repeat this slowly hoping it would make sense (sarcasm) Insanity I tell

  12. The math doesn't add up

    SleeepyRN replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    LOL!!! Potty break.

  13. The math doesn't add up

    SleeepyRN replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

    Calling your BS. You weren't just disagreeing, you flat out told people to stay at home and let other people who can handle the work do it. That is not a healthy debate attitude. It was immature and...

  14. Professionals or "workers"

    SleeepyRN replied to blackribbon's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I initially came to this web site for support from my peers. But Im beginning to see all too often rude comments to questions and replies. If you can't be respectful in your comments, either dig that...

  15. where to find classroom certification locations: Chicagoland

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Cardiac

    I know this is a couple months old, but I want an IV class because I dont know how to start them and simply want practice. I did not really get that opportunity in

  16. Help! I'm trying to understand this med test for employment

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

    . Its the other way around. Bronchodilator first, then steroid. The bronchodilator "dilates" the large airways allowing for the following steroid to work at its

  17. Undermined by Nursing Student

    SleeepyRN replied to babysteps25's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're not overreacting. What she is doing is called slander, and she being a nursing student should review her ethics and professional issues in nursing material. She could get sued for this type of...

  18. Why do students get asked to do everything?

    SleeepyRN replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    I didnt feel the OP was complaining about learning opportunities. When I was in nursing school, I also worked as a tech in a hospital. I remember when I was working, I would hear other techs say...

  19. OMG, will i ever stop being tired???

    SleeepyRN replied to dianne777RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Same here OP. Im also in pain. Mainly feet and back, but its so bad that on my days off, I lay in bed ALL day. Ive lost some weight and just hope to god that with more weightloss, my body can handle...

  20. Please, someone tell me how to stay out of trouble and keep my job.

    SleeepyRN replied to NurseCard's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Absolutely agree. On our Alzheimers unit, curse words go flying and unless it gets phtsical, we simply intervene, separate the 2, and di behavioral

  21. Please, someone tell me how to stay out of trouble and keep my job.

    SleeepyRN replied to NurseCard's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would write a progress note in this situation. What your interventions were (separate the two for example) Document that. I would speak with whoever talked to you again and spin a good light on it,...

  22. LTC-I want report and count at beginning of my shift

    SleeepyRN replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In my facility, the oncoming nurses are not even allowed to care for residents until we have received report. Which makes sense. Why should I begin care on a resident if I have not received report....

  24. Being a nurse is hard

    SleeepyRN replied to MomjessB's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Then simply dont recommend anyone. Its her business to decide where she wants to work. Again, you're being too harsh on her. If she KNOWS its not for her, good for her for not wasting her time. And if...

  25. Being a nurse is hard

    SleeepyRN replied to MomjessB's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    just because ltc wasnt for her, that doesnt mean she isnt willing to work her butt off for an area of nursing she likes. it sounds like you're being too harsh on her. I do understand being frustrated...
