  1. Very nervous.. can I lose my license for this?

    mediatix8 replied to glitterness's topic in General Nursing

    The DON couldn't let you chart without getting paid because that's illegal. We were told to never clock out and then continue to chart or work because then they could be sued for having us work off...

  4. are jobs on craigslist legitimate?

    mediatix8 replied to sallyjane's topic in General Nursing

    I just got low census so I had the time to actually go on craigslist for your state. I found the company you're talking about. I think because they "don't turn anyone away" they most likely are...

  5. Profound hypoglycemia after d/c sodium bicarb gtt

    mediatix8 replied to WWRN's topic in General Nursing

    250cc/hr is pretty fast. So Dw5 with bicarb was d/c'd and then the blood sugars started dropping. I don't know about the bicarb, but if a patient has been getting dw5 continuously @ 250cc/hr, the body...

  6. Pet Nurse?!

    mediatix8 replied to Mashira's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's ok because it's all one word "petnurse" not "pet nurse." So, they aren't really using the word "nurse". I really don't care though, either

    mediatix8 replied to AZRN2112's topic in General Nursing

  10. Do give up your seat for a doctor?

    mediatix8 replied to Pmkn10RN's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital is a business and not only are the patients our customers, but so are the doctors. It's not about who is busiest at that particular moment; it's about the fact that the doctors are who...

  14. Your thoughts?

    mediatix8 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    You may not even qualify for this "new grad" job if you are working as an RN. I think it'll look bad on your part for lying on your resume and not including your current job. That would be red flags...

  15. CNA issue

    mediatix8 replied to Schmoo1022's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OK I know what to say. Next time she asks stuff that is beyond her business for the scope of practice as a CNA kindly inform her that it would be a HIPAA violation for you to disclose personal health...

  16. Should I take bagels first day of work?

    mediatix8 replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have NEVER heard of anyone made fun out of because they brought food to share. I think it would be a good ice breaker. They're only bagels, for crying out loud. It's bread and some cream cheese, not...

    mediatix8 replied to chiuli's topic in First Year After Licensure

  22. 2010 jobless grad needs advice!

    mediatix8 replied to frisco96's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard that nursing homes also get 100+ applications now and are also not hiring. I would work in LTC if you are able to get hired, but otherwise any hospital job/volunteer work is a foot in the...

  23. Which nursing programs is cheaper Rush, Depaul or UIC for a Master-Entry Program?

    mediatix8 replied to Xavier2010's topic in General Nursing

    Rush used to offer a free ride for the BSN if you maintained a 3.0 and promised to work in their hospital for 2 years after graduation. I don't know if they still do this or if they do for the...
