    "Diverting" medications

    KJoRN81 replied to KJoRN81's topic in Patient Medications

    I have seen her sign out dilaudid for a resident that is prescribed it PRN but never takes it for anyone else. He mentioned to me that he does not take it. She would sign it out to him every 3 hours,...

    KJoRN81 replied to KJoRN81's topic in Patient Medications

    Of course I don't know why she was fired. But she was fired from a place that's notoriously difficult to get fired from (a teaching, magnet hospital with a solid union), as well as a pretty bad...

    "Diverting" medications

    KJoRN81 replied to KJoRN81's topic in Patient Medications

    It's a long, quite uninteresting story....I was just wondering what it took for someone to lose their license. Apparently quite a bit. It's just disheartening to say the least. Thanks for the

    How did you guys make the choice to become nurses?

    KJoRN81 replied to planetoi's topic in General Nursing

    You're young so you have lots of time to figure things out! :) You might find you don't enjoy it at all, & then you can do something else. Time is on your side! :) I am a nurse because, quite...

    Surviving ICU/nursing... advice for novice?

    KJoRN81 replied to RNnur's topic in Critical Care

    There's a smaller hospital in a nearby town that has an ICU with a typically 2:1 ratio but sometimes 3:1. At the magnet hospital I used to work at, some of our patients in the SICU were ambulatory....

    A resident is dying and I feel sad.

    KJoRN81 replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    So sorry to hear of this. Two months ago I started my first nursing job at a LTC/rehab facility & I've already started getting attached to some of the residents, so I can only guess at how you...

    How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    KJoRN81 replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    I find that beautiful and encouraging, KariCraw31. Where'd you get it? It's a quote from Picasso :) 'The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give your gift

    How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    KJoRN81 replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    Not to mention, the nurses that were CNAs at one point are probably less likely to be jerks to their CNAs. They know & understand how hard CNAs work. And all the "basic skills" that CNAs learn;...

    KJoRN81 replied to KJoRN81's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did fail, a few months ago. I was curious as to how "far off" or close I was....nerves getting the best of me because I was set to retake....I retook it on June 18th & passed. 'The purpose of...

    What does it take for a nursing program to be nationally accredited?

    KJoRN81 replied to beeskipper1023's topic in General Students

    I went to a school that isn't nationally accredited, & none of us had problems getting (good) jobs after graduating. The problem that I see you facing is the transfering of your ADN credits. If it...
