  1. Forced to resign, need advise

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Babyluva's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen people fired for less including myself. Trust me, if they want to terminate you they will find a reason. At will employment states an employer can basically terminate for any reason....

  2. Is nursing what you thought it would be?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Lucidity's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with you. However, in my work experience nursing takes the cake for the most toxic work environment. I suppose its the stress of the work

  3. Mistakes we have made

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to LilpoRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I was working on a TCU unit that was always crazy busy. Often, I would start my med pass early so that I wouldn't be behind. One day I gave coumadin a half hour before it was due. After I administered...

  4. Is nursing what you thought it would be?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to Lucidity's topic in General Nursing

    I had my head in the sand before working in nursing. I thought nurses were bright, bubbly, warm and fuzzy people who loved their patients as well as eachother. I was disappointed with the dynamics and...

  5. suspended :(

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to stethoscope21's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yup, that was easy... nurse makes mistakes and is suspected of having ADD. Even if he/she does have ADD does it mean that he/she can not be a competent/safe nurse? To the OP I know exactly how you...

  7. Nurses please try to look a little more polished at work

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is by His grace I got through major trials and tribulations in my life. Has nothing to do with my "condescending, smarmy attitude". Ummmm, okay? Maybe you or the moderators can tell me how to...

  8. Bummed and depressed (another vent :(

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to danarooo's topic in General Nursing

    First, I can't imagine how you most feel right now. I certainly understand why you are depressed. At this point you have to realize that giving up is NOT an option. The great thing about hitting rock...

  9. Is this appropriate behaviour when placing a condom catheter?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to canned_bread's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How come? Just because someone is incontinent doesn't mean they cannot get an erection. I have taken care of patients who were incontinent but still able to get an erection. Sometimes it's a...

  12. Is this appropriate behaviour when placing a condom catheter?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to canned_bread's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No you are not being prude. I can understand your questioning. Personally, I have hard time dealing with erect memberes at work. Internally, I get grossed out. However, sometimes its' necessary for...

  13. Nurses please try to look a little more polished at work

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    No beatings from me. When I was 16, I was stupid enough to get a tatoo. Thank goodness I was atleast smart enough to get it on my upper back so no one ever sees it. I hate tats too. They look a mess...

  14. Nurses please try to look a little more polished at work

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly what I'm talking about. I used to wear tight scrubs just starting out as a CNA at 16. However, I quickly learned that was not professional for work. Besides, I was uncomfortable which...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to canned_bread's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

  17. Cath Lab nurses- mask or no mask?

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to sauconyrunner's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't seen any CDC guidelines on this. Where I work it is recommended you wear face shield and gown when you pull, but most of the nurses have this down to a science and don't wear anything....

  18. nurses with bad breath

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to MarRN2012's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  22. Nurses please try to look a little more polished at work

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I feel bad that people took my OP as that every nurse should wear makeup. I didn't mean that at all. I need to wear make up, when I don't, I look

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see where I bashed anyone. My screen name has nothing to do with my religion or my observation of nurses looking unprofessional. I was venting. I think jews, muslims, christians, and other...

    OnlybyHisgraceRN replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing
