  1. What's it like in the VIP wing of a hospital?

    amoLucia replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Slippery slope

  2. What's it like in the VIP wing of a hospital?

    amoLucia replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmmm. I wonder if they get special visiting privileges with

  3. When Nurses Dream...and Have Nightmares!

    amoLucia replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    A vivid dream I MIGHT remember for about 1/2 hour, then it's forgotten. But I do have 2 recurring dream themes. First is a dream that takes place in my grandparents house that was just a half...

  4. What's it like in the VIP wing of a hospital?

    amoLucia replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    And the bed???

  5. Can an LVN to BSN negotiate higher starting pay?

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

    OP's LVN says licensure in Texas or California. To my knowledge, I believe many Cali facilities are union. Union contracts dictate salary ranges, so there is most likely NO wiggle room

  6. What's it like in the VIP wing of a hospital?

    amoLucia replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think we've all seen some special amenities at places we've worked. Yeah, somethings ritzy. But to publish it !?!?!?! Had a co-student from school 1970s. Worked in VERY elite area as an LPN and...

  7. What to do when Nurse is attacked and employer doesn't file police report?

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

    I'm most appalled at the deliberate refusal of security and the other male staff to assist in a crisis. That should also be addressed as they ARE facility employees, and thus the facility holds blame...

  8. What's it like in the VIP wing of a hospital?

    amoLucia replied to marienm, RN, CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    What! No chocolates on the pillows and bouquets of roses! I don't know how any of you others feel about those U of P Signature Services, but I find them rather offensive. It just rubs me the...

  9. Please help me with this new job overseeing group homes

    amoLucia replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there! You may have to give a little to get a little. You're working for the betterment of the clients, so that's something positive to come about. Good luck to you and keep us in the...

  10. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    amoLucia replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    0.5 - I get what you're saying! But it weird to think that some jobs really are critical and essential (in its own odd way). Even as UNglamorous as they sound! About 3 months ago during one of...

  11. Vague Absence Notes of illness

    amoLucia replied to CrazySchoolNurse's topic in School

    Common sense, this.

  12. HELP! Prioritizing nursing intervention

    amoLucia replied to Chaeryeong Pak's topic in General Students

    OP - it would have been most helpful to you and your learning process if you had given us your thoughts FIRST before PP helped out to start you in the right direction. That's how you'll learn! I'd...

  13. New Grad LTAC

    amoLucia replied to tori24's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    Tall order question there. Just know that what I, personally, may consider as a good facility with good support and good training, etc may SIGNIFICANTLY differ from your opinion and/or needs. You may...

  14. You Can’t Have This Job

    amoLucia replied to Bluebird2020's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just to ask - why do you feel that you're MORE entitled to this position than the other applicant??? You WEREN'T actually denied the position were you? It is admin/mgt right to review ALL...

  15. Being written up

    amoLucia replied to Springdaisy04's topic in General Nursing

    Desi & london - You guys are right. That's what is most distressing about this post. It appears OP's biggest concern is that she was unable to pull off her 'cover her butt' attempt, and for that...

  16. Long term care vs rehab

    amoLucia replied to PrettyInPink98's topic in Nursing Career

    I see this is an older post just visited - OP may have made her job decision. Rehab can be considered as a half-way step between hospitalization and home for pts. It is temporary as determined by...

  17. What would a C- section dressing be?

    amoLucia replied to Ellr17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's refreshing to see when someone takes the initiative to independently research/investigate a problem. Esp when so many come on post just expecting to be supplied an answer. This is meant as...

    amoLucia replied to NurseRH20's topic in Nurses Recovery

  20. CNA vs Phlebotomy

    amoLucia replied to CobraFan89's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Based on your expressed future RN goal, obtaining your CNA will provide a broader experience base. Better still, and MOST importantly, it can open up doors for future employment and networking...

  23. Antacid tabs in school

    amoLucia replied to k1p1ssk's topic in School

    Mild ginger snap cookies can also help N/V, GI distress. Personal experience to nibble just a couple little cookies. Ginger can be rather strong, though. But then you'd prob have your FFs who'd...

  24. Being written up

    amoLucia replied to Springdaisy04's topic in General Nursing

    Let me get this right - you lied. You admit you lied. And all you're worried about is why it took admin/mgt some time to write you up!?!? No remorse. No apology to the CNA to whose character...
