  1. Toxic relationship with nursing

    amoLucia replied to Stella_Blue's topic in General Nursing

    (((Stella)))

  2. Two Nursing jobs

    amoLucia replied to Cabana's topic in General Nursing

    Other posters bring up some serious points to consider. I would add that might you be expected to float, not just being on your old unit??? One last thing - don't 'feel bad for the floor nurses...

  3. LTC or home health?

    amoLucia replied to MeganStar's topic in General Nursing

    New employee jitters are common, but I'll wager you will do fine. You have years of approp experience which should really help you along. Good luck looking

  4. The paragraph is your friend, really!

    amoLucia replied to Jedrnurse's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    If I recall correctly, she kinda gave a 'farewell', 'I'll be leaving for a while' type of post. I think ... (ellipse)

  5. Why be a floor nurse when they don't care?

    amoLucia replied to NursesDontNeedChairstoChart12hrShift's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As I recall not so long ago, there was a very similar post re Admin removing chairs from the nsg station. It also forced nurses to do their charting standing up. The process did NOT go over WELL,...

  6. The paragraph is your friend, really!

    amoLucia replied to Jedrnurse's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I remember

  7. Long term care medical director is a jerk!

    amoLucia replied to missourinurse2b's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I have NEVER charted such negative comments by another provider. Although I may feel like it WAS warranted! I just don't think 2 wrongs make it right to point out what a dipstick the person was....

  8. Obtaining Car Stock

    amoLucia replied to starmickey03's topic in Home Health

    For what purpose??? Do you think the employer really will care? One less nurse ... assignments will just be shuffled around to remaining staff. Also, I'd be concerned that OP would now be...

  9. The paragraph is your friend, really!

    amoLucia replied to Jedrnurse's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Semi-colon.

  10. Possible Typos Found in Textbook

    amoLucia replied to BigDaddy007's topic in General Students

    Typos occur anywhere & everywhere. I taught keyboarding in a business program. Actually found one in our textbook! A TYPING TEXT that emphasized the absolute necessity for

  11. Having A Nurse As A Patient

    amoLucia replied to SkyDancer77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So true. This is also a typical ploy that many pts use that tries to pit one staff against another. Like some kind of 'game' that pts enjoy for the 'fun'. Or

  12. Nursing and Direct Action

    amoLucia replied to guest1054874's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hiddencat - you're right; I am 'white bread' thru & thru. My approach to protest would follow a much more sedate & roundabout route. OP's choice, is not exactly terribly distasteful to me. In...

  13. Having A Nurse As A Patient

    amoLucia replied to SkyDancer77's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In the past 2 yrs, I've had 3 hospitalizations with 1 rehab/snf stay. I was BAD SICK the first time, so I know I wasn't the best pt. But what made the difference for me the last 2 times, was...

  14. case study

    amoLucia replied to micheleles32's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OP hasn't been back since joining & posting the one time

  15. Wound Cart

    amoLucia replied to MargieGirasol's topic in General Nursing

    Op, for your cart in an AL facility, your cart is prob quite small so space should be limited. Firstly, check out any and all supplies for EXPIRATION DATES. Toss out the old stuff (use your...

  16. Pt chokes and turns blue, nurse ignores and calls 911

    amoLucia replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This was prob a LTC/NH facility. They don't have RRT teams. Usually an intercom page goes out for "Nsg supervisor to East Wing STAT". Or "code blue East Wing". That usually gets everybody who can...

  17. What the heck? (fat-shaming at work)

    amoLucia replied to HopefulRN4ever's topic in Home Health

    To sam - GOOD response! VERY GOOD! I say this to all new members, please consider changing your screen name. Anonymity is preferable on social media. Everybody & anybody reads posts here,...

  18. Nursing and Direct Action

    amoLucia replied to guest1054874's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hiddencat -TY for your comeback. Only thing is, OP never disclosed what her protests were all about. Then of course, that would have influenced our pro or con decision. Her direct quote leads...

  19. Lawsuit question

    amoLucia replied to PsychRN_CA's topic in Advanced Practice

    (((Goodmom2)))

  20. Nursing and Direct Action

    amoLucia replied to guest1054874's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For sake of conversation, I'm going to pretend that I'm a BON member. And this applicant's situation has come to my attn. Now I think ... this OP is doing some activity and it's legally wrong....

  21. Complaint against me to BVNPT

    amoLucia replied to dvd123's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    dvd123 - all I can say is "WOW"!!! I'm flabbergasted that she put up such a stink!! ! This is one time that I think the BON will recognize the complaint for what it really was - retaliatory SOUR...

  22. This is why we can't have nice things

    amoLucia replied to guest464345's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ((((laflaca)))) - you said this so well. I think of all those French manicures. As always, my greatest respects to all you SNs out there. And

  23. Let it rain! Let it rain

    amoLucia replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Gardening and Preserving Food's Let's Talk

    Hppy - figuring something like that too! And turf wars

    amoLucia replied to Tinybutmighty's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    It's been a year since OP last

  25. Let it rain! Let it rain

    amoLucia replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Gardening and Preserving Food's Let's Talk

    TY - I'm glad for y'all out there! Just to say, it's nice to know IN GENERAL, from where someone hails. I did read a comment that now western residents may have to fear mudslides & flooding...
