    Help! Is my nursing career done?

    uRNmyway replied to NSY,LPN's topic in Nursing Career

    Hmm, I hate to say it, but you might have a hard time finding work. There are experienced nurses with no marks on their record having a difficult time with job searches. I really wish you the best of...

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

    Ok, so after coming across several of your posts, generally I agree with you on opinions you have. This however, is honestly driving me nuts. I really feel like your personal experience with your...

    Where is the Respiratory Therapist?

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

    Where I used to work, our RTs would come for the regularly scheduled treatments, and were usually on time. They would have 2 RTs around for night shift, one to provide regular treatments, one for stat...

    are you for real??

    uRNmyway replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, yeah, I guess they don't realize that as nurses, we can't just CHOOSE to give them medication if we feel like it. "Oh, you want some Morphine for your sore thumb, and some Xanax because the pain...

    Funniest Things Doctors say!

    uRNmyway replied to RNdiva505's topic in Nursing Humor

    We had a frequent flyer in for COPD exacerbation on our med-surg floor. Doctors orders charted something along the lines of 'Unless she quits smoking, I have nothing more to say to her". Had a patient...

    Stopping patient care for another patient

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

    Can I ask why you wouldn't be allowed to say you were with someone else? Seems to me there is nothing wrong with that! You aren't disclosing personal information, you aren't saying 'I was with Mr....

    Should a gay male LPN reveal his sexual orientation...

    uRNmyway replied to LPNTO's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    All I have to say about that is that your orientation is NONE of ANYONE'S business. It doesn't affect your abilities, your intelligence, your skills, your communications, or anything else that has...

    Broken spirit....

    uRNmyway replied to RNsuperstar's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I hear ya on that, but you have to buck up and get a tougher skin. It is awesome that you owned up to your mistake, I've known much more experienced nurses try to slide it under the carpet, and...

    Not even a word of English

    uRNmyway replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know, if you look at research, something like 2% of the population had slaves. And that is of the US population. Im Canadian, where slaves went to escape. So I have even less to do with all of it,...

    Unhappy and Depressed

    uRNmyway replied to PraiseMariahCarey's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, maybe my opinion is different than some. If you have done what others suggested, and found that you really dont enjoy what you do...I would say..YOU ARE ALMOST DONE!! Finish what you started and...

    Not even a word of English

    uRNmyway replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This post makes me laugh for a few reasons. 1) I just read another thread about supposedly non-empathetic nurses and others giving them that kind of extremely offensive and judgmental comment, which...

    Not even a word of English

    uRNmyway replied to MomRN0913's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    IMO there is quite a difference between receiving medical care on vacation and not knowing the language, or LIVING in a country, having been there for years, and not being able to communicate. And...

    Canadian Nurses in Florida

    uRNmyway replied to Mcsteli's topic in Immigration Advice

    Hi! I am also from Quebec and recently went through all this to come work in Georgia. Your course of action depends on what kind of Visa you want to get. There is the H1B visa, which most people know...

    New to USA and HIPAA..I know this is a violation, why did my NM not back me up?!

    uRNmyway posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I am new working in America. While we are obviously bound by confidentiality rules in Canada, we do not have actual HIPAA rules. To give a little explanation, I work for a home health agency. Some of...

    LAZY CNA's!!

    uRNmyway replied to RNBeauty23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well something I have observed where I work is that most of the CNAs dont even have a high school diploma. They got the CNA job because it was a 3 week training program with more job stability than...

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    uRNmyway posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just needed to share this HILARIOUS phone call we received at my new job. I work in a home care agency, and we also have a CNA/MA school associated with the company. Our marketing girls have been...

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    Well theres a pretty significant difference between getting a diploma or having 8th grade education, which is the requirement here in Georgia. And yes, you are right, diploma doesnt equal good work...

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with you, it is extremely commendable to anyone who does go get a GED. I have said that in previous posts. I think, like I also said, that it was simply concern for our very...

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    ok, so people attacking me for being judgmental, racist, ignorant, or basically saying i wasnt a compassionate nurse for this is ok, and i shouldnt react to it? the two of us who spoke to her thought...

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    I think some people need to get off their high horses, take a deep breath and count to ten, and please stop taking yourselves and everything around you so darn

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I agree with you about doing my own assessments. Actually, CNAs taking vitals is completely new to me. They are NOT allowed to do that in Canada. But even without that, I work as a team with the...

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my God, some people have no sense of humor. I didnt mean to imply that a GED was any source of shame. In fact, props to those who get one if theyve dropped out! In fact, when I wanted to transfer...

    Oh boy, what was she thinking?!

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and just to clarify before people get upset, I am in no way implying that people who dont finish high school or 16yr olds are all high, but I guess I was just struck by the low standards to become...
