  4. Longest Shift You've Worked

    amoLucia replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

  5. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    amoLucia replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is ever so though gutsy and thought provoking. Personally, I'd like to see a whole new room for those hopeful applicants who seek unvarnished discussion in a centralized source. I mean...

  6. Unlicensed Person giving injections

    amoLucia replied to AnnaRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Does Calif recognize the job title of 'medical assistant'?? Since the doc 'trained' her, she's prob a MA in the office. And then that'd be OK. And welcome to

  8. Having trouble finding a job. Need advice

    amoLucia replied to nurse1045's topic in General Nursing

    Please note, I see you employing a bit of the 'self-fulfilling prophecy' in your post. That is, if you pre-anticipate an outcome, it may most prob occur. Like if you "try med-surg, you know you'll...

    amoLucia replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Prudent Student - make no mistake or think you're something special, but if you were to finish a nsg program, you'll be no more special than any other nsg grad! Please know that I'm not being smarty...

  16. Oncoming Shift Nurses Complaining about Assignments

    amoLucia replied to Joanne15's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I use to threaten dissatisfied staff that I would put everybody's names (pts & staff) in a hat and draw out the assignments. AND LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY! I worked LTC and while the...

  17. Longest Shift You've Worked

    amoLucia replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

  18. Intense grief from losing long term patient

    amoLucia replied to Badnelly31's topic in General Nursing

    Two things - this could have occurred with ANY pt. That alone would surprise and catch anybody off guard. And then, you were hit with the double whammy of the pt being a favorite. That's a double...

    amoLucia replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody will say "amo, it's critical that we're short staffed. Can you come in? Call back". But they will say "amo, we have a serious narc issue. Can you call us back ASAP"? That's the...

  21. Safe harbor

    amoLucia replied to lisieux's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    This post is 11 yrs old & was unanswered. The OP hasn't been back since. There have been some other posts re 'safe harbor' here. Just know it is not some type of 'free pass card'. You notify...

    Hey! Where did his come from? Seriously

  23. Longest Shift You've Worked

    amoLucia replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, when a pt is in acute distress, this is NOT the case! The panic and pleading look in their eyes just begs the staff TO DO SOMETHING, DO ANYTHING.! But nsg homes can only do just so much....

  24. Longest Shift You've Worked

    amoLucia replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing
