  1. HELLLLLLLOOOOO, Retirement !

    amoLucia replied to Davey Do's topic in Retired Nurses

  3. first job LTC need advice

    amoLucia replied to thecookingnursing's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My boldings. This line gave me shivers. I've been very close to some residents like this. I understand

  5. Union can hold non union position

    amoLucia replied to Afshan's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It may be something SPECIFIC in the contract. But offhandedly, I would think that Union has first dibbs on openings, or at minimum, the opp'ty to apply for any open position in the facility (which by,...

  6. Discouraged

    amoLucia replied to Lookaliveforonce's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse SMS - So well said! You and all the other respondents. Many other nurses have said this. Funny, that there have been many nurses here who've said the same thing about LTC! Oh well. Different...

  10. Bagging ETT

    amoLucia replied to stacylethani's topic in Critical Care

    Regardless of where you post, there's almost always something to learn, even if a teeny-tiny bit. Esp for those of us retired, or as a refresher for some, and for many, just new interesting info in a...

  13. IV infiltration

    amoLucia replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    hherrn - you're right. But IVs help to justify the admission. OP - even with a wonderfully coop pt, the IV can infiltrate. (Been there!) And don't apologize for venting - it's kind of NEEDED in these...

  14. LPN, Phlebotomy, EKG tech???

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

    Noticing that this post is a few months old. And OP has not had any posting activity since then (might just be lurking?). But after re-reading this post, I'm thinking - for an lab/EKG tech, they come...

  15. IV infiltration

    amoLucia replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, the fond memories of etoh withdrawal pts! Looong time ago early in my career. Had our protocol down pat in my memory (then and still now some 40+ years later). I could recite it verbatim - except...

  19. 'Take Me Home, WV, Country Roads' - Covid 19 style

    amoLucia posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    A new but very comforting twist on an old trusty favorite that I think should become the country's national theme song during these C19 times. Kind of like Lee Greenwood's rallying 'God Bless the...

    amoLucia replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    See, MORE incidents of life being turned upside-down --- so altered by C19. To all reading - again I say, I never thought this thread would evoke such a smattering of deeply felt emotions. I think of...

    amoLucia replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    kbrn - my Dad would be at his VFW post (and God forbid if it were closed as non-essential!). Even more sadly, he'd have prob been an EARLY C19 victim. ? I don't know if anyone else has noticed my...

  25. Am sadly just putting this out there - Overwhelming Covid-19 Death Statistics

    amoLucia replied to amoLucia's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Little did I expect this post to be a source of emotional venting - kinda like 'chicken soup for our communal souls'. We all have out own unique responses to this C19 stressor. I find myself...
