  1. Fired from longtime job, too much LOA r/t cancer, deaths in family. Not Fair.....

    Mulan replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear that but I'm not surprised, not one bit. I'm not surprised at any of the other stories on here

  2. Fired from longtime job, too much LOA r/t cancer, deaths in family. Not Fair.....

    Mulan replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    What are you doing? Share, share, share!

  3. At a low point- very disillusioned with nursing

    Mulan replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you only need 2 or 3 months to get that magical one year in, then take a med-surg job and as soon as you get past your probation put in for a transfer to ICU or ER in that same hospital. Good...

  4. Florence Nightengale Pledge.

    No.

  5. Walmart flip flops

    Mulan replied to RosesrReder's topic in General Nursing

    I would bet on it being an allergic

  6. Do you have time to cut diabetic toenails?

    Mulan replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    ditto

  7. IV pumps beeping during report,

    Mulan replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

    Well, I would program the pump for 900cc, not 985 and I would hang a new bag before the next shift came on if it only had 100 cc in it. I wouldn't want to be coming on shift and have a pump beeping...

  8. I made her cry?!?

    Mulan replied to one breath at a time's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't nursing ridiculous? It's like being in elementary

  9. Is my employer's cancellation policy draconian...

    Mulan replied to nell's topic in General Nursing

    too bad the nurse can't do the same thing, huh? Call up and say, oh I won't be in from 7 to 11, but I'll come in at 11 and work until 3, just cause I feel like it. Every 2 hours I have never heard...

  10. Bad day yesterday

    Mulan replied to obtech2nurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't work L&D. Years and years ago, when workloads were reasonable, I always charted as I went and that is the best way to do it. However, these days, it's do the patient care and chart when I...

  11. Lidocaine with Rocephin IM?

    Mulan replied to StNeotser's topic in Patient Medications

    Haven't given it in years, but we didn't use lidocaine back

  12. OB nurse home for 13 years, thinking of going back to hospital.

    Mulan replied to dcampbell's topic in General Nursing

    You'll have to take a refresher course, I would think, after being out for so long, and that should help you get up to speed. Some places have only 12 hour shifts, some have 12 and 8 hour shifts and...

  13. OB nurse home for 13 years, thinking of going back to hospital.

    Mulan replied to dcampbell's topic in General Nursing

    but what would you do

  14. Just Dont want to be walked all over!!

    Mulan replied to dmn1012's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was hired once for a day/evening rotation. Guess what that turned out to be? Three months of evenings, a token day shift weekend, and then the same thing all over again, and again, and again....

  15. Drawing blood from a PICC line

    Mulan replied to rnewmanjunkie's topic in General Nursing

    okay, so what if one (or no one) absolutely can not get blood from any other

  16. Question about Harlequin ichthyosis

    Mulan replied to student456's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The one I saw years ago was born to a family from the Phillipines and it had occured previously in their family as

  17. Flip, Turn, Crush & Smear

    Mulan replied to sam027000's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny, but I did that same thing as a new employee at this one hospital almost a year ago, and was told by my preceptor that that's not how it's done, you take it out of the package first. LOL,...

  18. Drawing blood from a PICC line

    Mulan replied to rnewmanjunkie's topic in General Nursing

    right, but if the PICC is the only place to get the blood from, then one has no

  19. Drawing blood from a PICC line

    Mulan replied to rnewmanjunkie's topic in General Nursing

    why can't drug levels be drawn? the reason why a lot of patients have PICC lines in the first place is because they have no veins and can't be drawn otherwise, you can't get blood out of a

  20. Question about Harlequin ichthyosis

    Mulan replied to student456's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I saw one years ago, and wish I had never looked at it. I also wish I had not clicked on the above link. I was not expecting

  22. Flip, Turn, Crush & Smear

    Mulan replied to sam027000's topic in General Nursing

    JCAHO just gets stupider and stupider :rotfl: maybe they just want people to wash it in

  23. Am I incompetent?

    Mulan replied to rnrae's topic in Agency Nurses

    I'd ask for a reason as well. It could be, though, that someone there just didn't like you for some

  24. What to do when on the hit list????

    Mulan replied to brwneyegal's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this and sometimes they try to make things so miserable for you that you'll quit. In that case, I'd stay just out of spite. Good
