    amoLucia replied to love_of_sunflowers's topic in General Nursing

  2. Do you think it is a mistake going into nursing for me?

    amoLucia replied to nursetobeat33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Be careful - there's such a thing as OVER-RESEARCHING a topic. Over-researching until your eyeballs pop out! And OVER-THINKING things! All you can do is work to do well on your studies while keeping...

  9. getting bodily fluids on scrubs

    amoLucia replied to sami rognlie's topic in General Nursing

    You can always have spare uniform pieces in your car/locker. Just remember if you change early in the shift and then have another splash, you're out of replacements. Best to carry

  13. How to assert yourself?

    amoLucia replied to Mavnurse17's topic in School

    Not the school nurse here. My concern is how these teachers are so knowledgeable about student health care issues. Like where's their pipeline? With your FERPA regs, I guess all you should...

  14. Unfairness at work

    amoLucia replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I'd just call in sick for something. But I was curious as it sounds like PP Aniche4u can really call in and call it 'mental health day' and take 3 PTO days! Never heard such a

  15. Not sure what to do

    amoLucia replied to love_of_sunflowers's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be curious how long the DON has been DON there. Maybe DON is struggling to fix the facility. A question for OP if she

    amoLucia replied to love_of_sunflowers's topic in General Nursing

    I've googled past employing facilities. Very weird to

  17. Unfairness at work

    amoLucia replied to Loveishope1970's topic in General Nursing

    Where is this followed????? Jokingly, we've all called it a 'mental health' day when we just need a day off to unwind/crash/recoup etc. NEVER heard of anyone providing PTO for it, much less 3

  18. Not sure what to do

    amoLucia replied to love_of_sunflowers's topic in General Nursing

    Hoosier - I'm posting here AFTER I saw that you did so. I too, am a bit concerned about the rapidity of the job offer, esp if OP HAS NOT visited the place. But again, we don't have a lot of...

  19. Not sure what to do

    amoLucia replied to love_of_sunflowers's topic in General Nursing

    BTDT - I think you may have OVER-negated the possibility of LTC employment for OP. A LOT of variables could affect the facility's ability to attract new staff. OP - have you visited the facility?...

    amoLucia replied to Nurse162's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry, but I feel like I've just read about some teenage angst straight out of junior high-school mean girls clique. This is exactly why I pretty much chose to stick to myself when I worked...

  22. Need advice

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

  23. Married or in a committed relationship students

    amoLucia replied to TwinDaddy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Not a psych specialist here, but sounds like your wife may be more into a serious depression than you may know. Usually the tell-tale signs are the decline in personal grooming and the extreme social...

  24. What should I do in this situation? (Very afraid)

    amoLucia replied to LvlupNurse's topic in Nursing Career

    Personally, I don't like the sounds of it. Just my paranoia. PIPs need to be specific so things can be measured. Also there needs to be a time frame. The facts that your areas of 'need for...
