    AIDS during the 80s

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

    Sadly, the hysteria isn't over. I recently had a talk with a co-worker who was upset when the HIV + status of a patient wasn't disclosed to him. My response? 'I didn't tell you because it doesn't...

    NIGHT SHIFT CENTRAL!

    uRNmyway replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked night shift in LTC, but I wasn't some holier than thou nurse who refused to get my hands dirty with ADLs and diapers. A GOOD nurse is just as busy on nights. Or at least one that is...

    NIGHT SHIFT CENTRAL!

    Smokers need not apply?

    uRNmyway replied to RainMom's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It can. I have a colleague who smokes off campus. When she gets on the floor, I know she's there just because of the tobacco smell. She swears no one can tell she's a smoker. Believe me, we can. And I...

    peeves

    uRNmyway replied to duskyjewel's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Infernal Equinox

    uRNmyway replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    uRNmyway replied to Robb1821i's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Although I have no personal experience with this, based on other threads I've read on here, it seems that the problems you encounter might be with perspective employers rather than the BON. New grads...
