  1. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

    amoLucia replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

    I struggled to wait. Six years of 'waiting' Six years. "Time DOES NOT fly. I suffered an excruciating, abruptly painful, agonizingly slow 6 year journey. Like a prison sentence. I hesitated until I...

  2. Not sure anymore

    amoLucia replied to chirawr's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Immediately I was thinking like PP, Rlien. Was any attempt at pain control attempted??? Unless there are extenuating circumstances, that level of pain was unacceptable! I can think of burn wound...

  3. I went to work with a black eye

    amoLucia replied to Jessie-'s topic in General Nursing

    I fell 2 years ago while using my walker. As I went down, the walker handlebar came up and smacked me in the face. I had periorbital bruising. Not DV, but it was

  4. Integrity vs job security

    amoLucia replied to NurseAnnBo's topic in General Nursing

    Back to my question - how do you know that the family DOESN'T know? Maybe they're just lying low like a lawyer would tell them. I believe there is prob much, much more to the full picture that you're...

  5. Eligibility list

    amoLucia replied to LEM.LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a Civil Service job posting. It's probable that new applicants ranked higher than you for education and/or experience. If you have a union, you might check with

  6. Geriatric bruising and what to do

    amoLucia replied to iamoph's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm guessing that maybe the fact that your facility is so hyper-focused on bruising is that it may have been the subject of a DOH/Ombudsman investigation. Your questions (except #6) all seem to focus...

  7. Integrity vs job security

    amoLucia replied to NurseAnnBo's topic in General Nursing

    amoLucia replied to Ryyback's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you were able to manage. I really couldn't figure out what you needed to know. I had an answer but I wasn't sure it was what you needed. By the way, how did you interpret the question? Just...

  11. Pancreatitis and alcoholism

    amoLucia replied to huntlythe3rd's topic in General Nursing

  13. Integrity vs job security

    amoLucia replied to NurseAnnBo's topic in General Nursing

    This is the kind of things that lawyers just thrive on. And in today's litigious and web-conscious society, I don't think that families are so naieve not to do their own thorough attempt at research....

  15. Integrity vs job security

    amoLucia replied to NurseAnnBo's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure all of the shenanigans of the facility will become common knowledge when the court and LAWYERS get involved. It's NOT your duty or responsibility to become involved as you think you should....

    amoLucia replied to huntlythe3rd's topic in General Nursing

    amoLucia replied to Pride/hardwork17's topic in Nursing Career

    In today's work environment a BSN is pretty much the bottom line requirement for nsg employment. And in as much as you've been a long term employee there is NO GUARANTEE that you will continue on...

  22. I went to work with a black eye

    amoLucia replied to Jessie-'s topic in General Nursing

    I would also like to bring up another point that management could face. Could an irate spouse possibly show up at the employee's workplace and cause trouble??? It wouldn't be the first time some...

    amoLucia replied to Varsityblues's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
