  1. Venting in progess, unjust termination

    Nursebaby23 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's about time for me to unload my problems on those who will listen (or read) . I was dismissed from a job about 3 weeks ago for something incredibly stupid. Something that eveyone else in...

  2. Venting in progess, unjust termination

    Nursebaby23 replied to Nursebaby23's topic in General Nursing

    Even if she had not been a stripper she would still be trash. Character speaks volumes. She would come to work with a "itty bity" tank top on and a mini-skirt and then proceed to change into scrubs....

  3. Venting in progess, unjust termination

    Nursebaby23 replied to Nursebaby23's topic in General Nursing

    Just painting a picture...she's trash! Ivy League brains never lived in this woman. The two are not in any way comparable. After all, this was a vent for me. Opinions are appreciated...but please...

  4. Venting in progess, unjust termination

    Nursebaby23 replied to Nursebaby23's topic in General Nursing

    To Bob: I do understand that what I did was against the rules. I would have accepted the punishment for my actions. I still don't think it was worth getting fired over. Also, just because someone is...

  5. Bullous pemphigoid

    Nursebaby23 replied to Nursebaby23's topic in General Nursing

    Well, this lady now has MRSA in her wounds. CNA's are refusing to work with her because she is in isolation and people must gown, glove, and mask before entering her room. She looks horrible! She...

  6. Bullous pemphigoid

    Nursebaby23 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Have any of you guys taken care of anyone with a disorder named bullous pemphigoid? It is horrible! CNAs are asking if what this person has is contageous and if it is going to kill this resident. This...

  8. MA's Calling themselves Nurses

    Nursebaby23 replied to usmc94201's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand. What difference does it make? I admit nursing school is hard and strenuous to have the letters behind your name. But a nurse is what you always will be. I just have to trust my PCP...

  9. LVN/RN dilemma

    Nursebaby23 replied to dzook's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I became an LPN first to "get my feet wet" and it only took a year. I went to a good program and got a little experience in the process. I work the weekends while in school and make a pretty good...

  10. Most dreaded Dr.'s orders

    Nursebaby23 replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would have to say flatus bag BID and PRN for obstructive bowel. This lady is a TF who gets sorbitol every night so the consistency of her bowels is liquid. However, I am proud of myself...

  11. Does your LTC provide you with work supplies?

    Nursebaby23 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    man, i work weekends and our central supply guy never makes sure we have enough stuff. one weekend we didn't have any o2 concentrators or o2 tanks. i was heated!:angryfire everybody on o2 wanted to...

  12. Bossy CNA's in LTC(long)

    Nursebaby23 replied to jaimemds's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Amen to that! Even though I work in LTC, I think of how wonderful it would be if I could be responsible for the total care of about 5-7 people. No CNA's! The sad thing is they think their job is so...

  13. Don't like myself right now

    Nursebaby23 replied to NewEastCoastRN's topic in General Nursing

    Even though I have not cared for drug seekers in a hospital environment, I can speak from the other side of the fence. I have a mother who is a "frequent flier" to the ER who presents with high BP and...

  14. Who's Zoomin' Who?

    Nursebaby23 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay ya'll, tell me what you think about this. One male nurse at LTC facility, involved with 4 female staff members who all work the same shift. The supervisor (RN), the LPN that assists him on his...

  15. Who's Zoomin' Who?

    Nursebaby23 replied to Nursebaby23's topic in General Nursing

    O.K. guys, I finally spilled the beans about the issue to my ADON. I proposed that the CNA on my hall can't get the job done. She is also communicating threats about the supervisor. I love my job and...

  16. Bullous pemphigoid

    Nursebaby23 replied to Nursebaby23's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing she has for itching is atarax. And like I said, they recently d/c'd the kenalog and started the bleach solution (a can't think of the name of the treatment). She has been takeing...

  19. O2 saturation question

    Nursebaby23 replied to kaseysmom's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yeah, the increased sats were a compensatory mechanism by the labored breathing, but he probably couldn't have continued that way. My rule is 93-96% being normal because I work with the elderly...

  20. Bossy CNA's in LTC(long)

    Nursebaby23 replied to jaimemds's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Man, there are some CNA's employed where I work that do not only think they know more than nurses, but the doctors that make rounds also. I am a new nurse, so I'm still tackling the whole "delegation"...

  21. CNA's passing meds in ALF. What's your opinion?

    Nursebaby23 replied to Marti Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I live in NC, and the ALFs here don't even employ nurses! There is no such thing as a DON of an ALF! There are administrators, and shift supervisors. That's it. The highest rank of any employee is...

  22. Application Fees to Oversubcribed Programs

    Nursebaby23 replied to Fiona59's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting:coollook: . The CC I went to for LPN didn't charge any fees to apply, acceptance is based on PSB scores and prerequisites under the belt. Same way for RN; LPN's had to take the PSB...

  24. suspended for signing an 8pm med on MAR at 5pm in error

    Nursebaby23 replied to VirginiaLPN97's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    People are getting their "panties in a wad" over Reglan? It sounds like you were set up! I hope these people pay more attention to things that are more important, like missing narcs and keeping up...
