  1. Silly rant, but people keep steeling my tissues

    amoLucia replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    .TY for the info. My computer was out of commission - just fixed

  2. Wrongfully fired

    amoLucia replied to Tiffani3116's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sorry that you were pulled into such a sucky situation. Oh, to have been a fly on the wall when the dietary aide talked about his/her side of the story to admin. Seems like it was a bit lopsided....

  3. Why nurses don't want to talk to a ward psychologist?

    amoLucia replied to manjar's topic in General Nursing

    There are times when I have been among the many posters here to suggest to some OP that a talk with EAP or another counselor might be helpful to get over some distressing occurrence. Perhaps I should...

  4. Why study the history of nursings

    amoLucia replied to Prince Nsoh's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think we're on the same

  5. New Grad RN- Night Shifts Killing Me

    amoLucia replied to lfolou's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm curious re chiro. Maybe a spa/massage might be more restful and relaxing. Less expensive and easier to sched? I'm not knocking chiro - I used chiro service some years ago. I thought I was dying...

  6. New Grad RN- Night Shifts Killing Me

    amoLucia replied to lfolou's topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe an appt with a sleep therapist might help? If after all that and your health is still so negatively affected, you may have to go the HR route and medical disability so you could go to a day...

  7. Wrongfully fired

    amoLucia replied to Tiffani3116's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Agreeing with others. You became upset at the situation and became 'threatening' in a way altho you don't see it that way. As an experienced CNA, you should have known to call your charge nurse and...

  8. Is this okay?

    amoLucia replied to NewcallRN's topic in General Nursing

    VERY MUCH what PP blondy says. Be gracious - it prob has something to do with staffing around

  9. Is spending $80,000 on a private ABSN school a waste

    amoLucia replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    This is something that has not been brought up here, but I have read numerous entries from students and grads (but not yet NCLEXed) and newbies. Are you approaching schooling with any type of LEGAL...

  10. Why study the history of nursings

    amoLucia replied to Prince Nsoh's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    History of Nsg is something that has begun to interest me again. I mean I'm talking about the history of pioneers like Florence Nightingale and others. Nsg theorists is something different, altho as a...

  11. How to transfer units within the same facility

    amoLucia replied to shelw067's topic in General Nursing

    klone - my comment was meant for the future pretending OP DID apply and was denied. She would NOT have followed P&P required. Sorry if I was

  12. age 21

    amoLucia replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    Thank y'all for the comments. For those 'law breakers' who have been nabbed for some infraction (myself included for my no seatbelt drive one afternoon), I believe those citations will be so 'small...

  13. age 21

    amoLucia posted a topic in General Nursing

    Official law takes effect today for Sate of NJ. It enforces the age of 21 for smoking (and includes those vaping cigs). It was age 19. New Jersey joins Cali, Hawaii and Maine for age 21 now. A wise...

  14. Why nurses don't want to talk to a ward psychologist?

    amoLucia replied to manjar's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't this post such a sad commentary on the reality of the employer/employee relationship? NOTE: I am agreeing 110% regarding the lack of trust in the confidential nature of employee information...

  15. How to transfer units within the same facility

    amoLucia replied to shelw067's topic in General Nursing

    But you would not have followed the specific designated protocol for transfer AS REQUIRED. That's your first step. They would have EVERY RIGHT to deny you your request even if you had the best-est...

  16. How to put on TED hose over foot with toe deformities?

    amoLucia replied to Ioreth's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Could you let the charge nurse know and maybe a Therapy consult could evaluate and recommend some type of assistive device. Also, they do make open-toe stockings. Could she need a podiatrist for toe...

  17. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    amoLucia replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    To Autumn - I agree. And I esp like your post's last paragraph. It's funny but as I was reading posts, it spurred me to do some research on nsg pioneers. I was stumped on the name of one of my favs,...

  18. Everyday Nurse problems

    amoLucia replied to babarfirasat's topic in General Nursing

    beekee - it was something like that. Don't remember all the details. Guy was NOT a nurse; had NO healthcare experience; was doing some research thesis type project that his hosp admin? thought would...

  19. Teenager with seizures kept from school?

    amoLucia replied to Emergent's topic in School

    I'm betting the 'seizure' was just a handy made-up excuse for the renter, who prob didn't know that OP was a nurse. Those 'teens' are also old enough to be considered adults. So there might just be...

  20. Help with prioritizing nursing diagnoses?

    amoLucia replied to laurim45's topic in General Students

    Think - what would most likely kill him first? I'm thinking the infections. The immobility would most surely take a much longer time (assuming NO life threatening incident occurs). It is true that the...

  21. Teenager with seizures kept from school?

    amoLucia replied to Emergent's topic in School

    Good for

  22. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    amoLucia replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    NSIME - Holding my breath until the next exciting chapter. Tell me, sister. Were you ever a fan of the old vampire soap "Dark Shadows" with Barnabas Collins? There's been a weekend DS-thon. How campy...

  23. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    amoLucia replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    To Autumn - I think I basically agree with you. So many images conveyed seem to profess a noble, exalted, self-sacrificing attitude that even Saint Mother Theresa would find difficult to uphold (NOTE...

  24. Teenager with seizures kept from school?

    amoLucia replied to Emergent's topic in School

    What I was thinking too! Wonder how old that "teen"ager

  25. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    amoLucia replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    Mi Hermana - YES! "Genetics bind us as distance keeps us
