    What makes you want to vomit?

    uRNmyway replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Feet. Anything more than a 12 year old's feet lol. But specifically old people feet, how they are so dry, smelly, crusty, toenails yellow and thick and crumbly...*shiver* Trach sputum. I think I was...

    uRNmyway replied to pedsonc_nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well then, maybe use the offer! I would get it in writing from them first before you go above the NM though. I have known people to offer support, then when a move was made the supposed supporters are...

    HELP! False Accusations at work!

    uRNmyway replied to mamaRNof3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Um, well first I would agree with the above poster about getting an attorney ASAP, possibly speak to your malpractice insurance (they might have an attorney to refer you to), and document. Here are a...

    Whats your record??

    uRNmyway replied to Rhi007's topic in General Nursing

    But that's the thing. It is singled out because of the stigma that we as a society give it. If we just see it like any other medical diagnosis requiring treatment, then the whole reason to take...

    Whats your record??

    uRNmyway replied to Rhi007's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, what?! This just makes me shake my head. People are so quick to get butt hurt and take offense at EVERYTHING nowadays. Why is psychiatry offensive? It is a medical area, just like cardiology,...

    CES report- insufficient number of hours in nsg. theories

    uRNmyway replied to maia718's topic in Nurse Registration

    Good luck with all that. CGFNS are pretty incompetent as far as getting things done in a timely manner in my experience. It took them almost 2 years to get my paperwork completed. And this is with the...

    What are the nurse's rights regarding difficult family members?

    uRNmyway replied to Brekka's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would recommend that you document, document, document. Everything she says and does, objectively. Time, place, detailed description of event, who was present/witness, etc. Sounds like this is...

    Denied employment at agency due to ordered prescriptions

    uRNmyway replied to RNwithHonors's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Coming from someone who suffers from panic attacks and anxiety in general, believe me, I function much better with a low dose of a benzo than in the grips of debilitating anxiety. I took my nursing...

    New to night shift

    uRNmyway replied to Emilynn09's topic in General Nursing

    I'll agree with the other posters. Melatonin works very well to help you unwind. Blackout shades/curtains. Some kind of white noise. I've had colleagues who purchased a portable UV lamp to keep at...

    Move to Cali and be a nurse in the USA

    uRNmyway replied to B-Dreamer's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi, as far as getting your credentials transferred, I would suggest you call the state board of nursing of whatever state you are interested in as they seem to all have different requirements from...

    When Nurses Cry

    uRNmyway replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think there is nothing wrong with shedding a few tears with our patients. It shows we are human, and it shows we care. Now, there is a different from a complete breakdown where the family/patient...

    Denied employment at agency due to ordered prescriptions

    uRNmyway replied to RNwithHonors's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My understanding is that if the UDS is outsourced, you only need to provide the list of your RX to the testing facility. They verify what you take compared to your results, and if anything matches,...

    Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    uRNmyway replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well as far as salary restrictions go, its been my understanding that cost of living is much lower in the South compared to the North. Please correct me if I am wrong

    Read this email my NM sent to all the nurses.

    uRNmyway replied to GummibearsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Right, I wouldn't expect that kind of email from my nurse manager. But if I had a work environment like the one described in the email, I would hope my NM would say something about

    Top 10 Reasons Against Unions

    uRNmyway replied to PICUPNP's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Ok, well clearly your american unions work differently than those in Quebec. In Quebec, all hospitals are unionized and we still regularly got mandated and had crap benefits, although I have to admit...

    Interesting Physician Perspective On NPs

    uRNmyway replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't get what everyone has against the South. There are ignorant, bigoted people everywhere, although it seems to be a stereotype mostly associated with the

    New Nurse with hepatitis C

    uRNmyway replied to nurse1015's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to agree with some other posters. Isn't it illegal to discriminate for employment against someone because of their health/diseases? I mean, we are all supposed to use standard precautions...

    Visa Screen Work permit/ Green card

    uRNmyway replied to Miru's topic in International Nursing

    Also, if you are wanting to get H1b, you might want to rethink it. Hospitals right now are doing very little if not NO sponsorships. Speak to a recruiter and they will pretty much hang up on you....

    Is there something wrong with me?

    uRNmyway replied to nursedanny614's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The only things I can suggest are to try volunteer work to puff up your resume. Try to do something similar to positions you are applying for. I.E. Trying for Peds, volunteer with Boy/Girl Scouts, or...

    Work ethic, what's your take on it all

    uRNmyway replied to cardiacrocks's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was taught to call in sick if feverish and contagious, nothing else. Although once I had to call in because I got into a car accident on my way to work. I was not injured, luckily, but my car was...

    The new person is a germaphobe.

    uRNmyway replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I think it is BECAUSE of the OCD rituals that germaphobes get sick first. Their body has not been exposed to healthy doses of germs so their immune system is

    So I get a call from the lab.....

    uRNmyway replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    We had one lab tech at my previous job who would just leave us shaking our heads in amazement. During 5am rounds, one patient had a blood glucose of 25. Our protocol was to do a stat blood glucose by...

    Energy drinks and teens coming to ER with chest pain

    uRNmyway replied to mt3's topic in Emergency

    I get what you are saying, and I agree that kids should not be consuming it. Like others have said though, I do think people need to take more responsibility for themselves and their own health....
