    amoLucia replied to phoebebrat's topic in General Nursing

    Admin knows that trick as a tit-for-tat, beat 'em at their own game employee revenge activity. If OP starts doing that, she'll soon be counseled and there starts a paper trail. Could another...

    amoLucia replied to arlingtonnurse's topic in School

    I just had a terrible repressed flashback to Catholic grammar school circa 1958 for some screening at the time. I was a chubbbbby kid, and we has to strip down to our undies. It was with all...

  6. Thursday March 17th 2022 St Patrick's Day

    amoLucia replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Daily Diary's Entries

    Ado - we had cats last house until NOT. I would just love to have a cat now for the companionship. But I use a walker, totally dependent on its use. So I decline the cat for safety - I wouldn't want...

    amoLucia replied to Amy White FNP MSN BSN RN's topic in Patient Education

    Hppy - now I have to check out fresh pineapple enzymes with statins! It just kills me that I have to restrict grapefruit. Amy - I find it very interesting (and at times confusing) that certain...

  9. Constipation Matters, Cause and Treatment

    amoLucia replied to Amy White FNP MSN BSN RN's topic in Patient Education

    I too appreciate the easiness of reading some articles. Not interested in reading some EB references awaiting doctoral defense and presentation for thesis publication. Not for this

    Would they have even been admitted in the first place?!? And then make it

  11. How some kids are being raised...

    amoLucia replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    In her defense - could that have just been an odd 'choice of words'? Do you know what activities constitute a 'playdate' for her? It could be an age-appropriate activity for her & friends. Just...

  14. Should I finish my MSN?

    amoLucia replied to Anw2020's topic in General Students

    P L E A S E - for the love of all that is good in the universe, FINISH your MSN! School time is only a blip of time in the BIG scheme of life. It's not like a completed MSN will ever go bad like...

  15. Penicillin Reconstitution Help

    amoLucia replied to Amander's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Re reconstitution - think about it. But don't OVERthink it. NOT rocket science! INFANT and IM injection. You want the SMALLEST volume to use to mix your soln. You then give a small volume...

  16. Constipation Matters, Cause and Treatment

    amoLucia replied to Amy White FNP MSN BSN RN's topic in Patient Education

    Enjoying this article also, but I think I need to question your diagnostic definition of "stool frequency of less than 3 BMs per week that can involve having to strain and pass hard stools". For some...

    amoLucia replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Nursing

    FashionablyL8 - was rereading your post. DD population. Any possibility that the job is Civil Service? That could make a difference in any decision I'd make for

  18. Nervous About Resigning From Private Duty Case

    amoLucia replied to Jusdoingnursingthings's topic in Private Duty

    You'll have to give your employer the mandatory/obligatory resignation that will cover your remaining time. At that point, you can discuss it with your employer WHO will tell the Mom. I'm old...

  19. Nervous About Resigning From Private Duty Case

    amoLucia replied to Jusdoingnursingthings's topic in Private Duty

    Get another position, first, then resign. And do it QUIETLY! DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT, bring up the topic with that Mom. Most likely, she will just continue to 'guilt trip' you. So will your...

    amoLucia replied to meljam's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

  21. Saturday March 12 2022

    amoLucia replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in Daily Diary's Entries

  23. New Job

    amoLucia replied to tide22's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you have any LTC background?? Very helpful. Your DON should be able to direct you where/who to contact. (Things have long changed since my retirement.) I do caution any new mgt member to...
