  1. Abnormal UA

    JZ_RN replied to iisonu's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not saying that people who do drugs are "dumb" but when you realize you need to pass a drug test, and instead of seeking help you try to do something as crazy as alter a drug test, that's dumb....

  2. Why don't people take LPNs seriously?

    JZ_RN replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I love the LPNs. They do have less education and can do less skills than I was trained, but they are worthwhile team members and can be awesome nurses. Nothing but

  3. Slapped across the face by male patient

    JZ_RN replied to noyesno's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would file assault and battery charges right

  4. Abnormal UA

    JZ_RN replied to iisonu's topic in Nursing Career

    Never thought of that. But then again I've never had to try to pass a drug test 'cause I never do/have done drugs.. I guess people get creative when they're too dumb to not do drugs

  5. Dangerous and Demented: What Usually Happens?

    JZ_RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Where I worked they just let the abuse continue on inspite of the poor staff getting beat to a pulp. I left but eventually the worst abuser died. She was severely demented and very violent. I'm sad...

  6. Overuse of antipsychotics in nursing homes

    JZ_RN replied to hotflashion's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Do you think those alzheimer's and dementia patients want to be kicking and spitting and confused as all get out? How terrifying and miserable it must be. A fate worse than death to

  7. When is my ATT coming?! :(

    JZ_RN replied to Lovemykids125's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ohio BON is waaaaay slow and getting a real person on the phone is a joke. It takes months in my

  8. End of shift blessings

    JZ_RN replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I hate people who think that I should be there "on the dot" like they are the only patient there. I've told those people straight up, I may be busy elsewhere but I will try to come around such and...

  9. Abnormal UA

    JZ_RN replied to iisonu's topic in Nursing Career

    This is just weird. I understand that they test for drugs, but why even test for creatinine if someone observed you give the sample? It does sounds weird. I've never had a urine sample come back...

  10. Stopping patient care for another patient

    JZ_RN replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You think you know it all and are super nurse and insult the rest of us. I feel sorry for the patient who gets the wrong meds or worse from you when you make a mistake. It can happen to anyone. I'd...

  11. Stopping patient care for another patient

    JZ_RN replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Considering that this is LTC I believe she is talking about and the meds for narcs come usually in packs or cards, so if you get them out, 2 pills can look similar or even the same, and be different,...

  12. Stopping patient care for another patient

    JZ_RN replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't care if you've been a nurse for 5 minutes, if you run back and forth between rooms just so someone will be "pleased" they don't have to wait 5 minutes for a pain pill, who's really the naive...

  13. Is it possible for a RN to work five 12 hr days?

    JZ_RN replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in General Nursing

    Possible, yes. Wise, no. I work five 9 hr days a week and it's tiring. But I had to get out of LTC

  14. SO mad...and not sure I should be.

    JZ_RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am 100% pro-choice. Well, make that 150%. I feel a woman should be allowed to terminate a pregnancy for any reason, whatsoever, including inconvenience. It's HER life and HER body and that fetus...

  15. Height/CNA- Any short nurses ?

    JZ_RN replied to SoapFan's topic in General Nursing

    I am small as well and with good body mechanics, you can lift and help move A+O patients who aren't dead weight. If someone is dead weight I just get help, or if they are just huge. And we use lifts...

  16. Stopping patient care for another patient

    JZ_RN replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And as others have stated, short of a code or someone bleeding or something, med pass does not get interrupted and I don't go back and forth. I am not making an error and I am not making 12 trips down...

  17. Stopping patient care for another patient

    JZ_RN replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I stay on top of my prns, so my patients aren't in pain, and yes, going from a room where you're doing a pain med to go do another pain med before you complete the care you've prepared to do on...

  18. Stopping patient care for another patient

    JZ_RN replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And pain control is not the number 1 nursing priority, it never has been, never will be. Number 1 priority is safety, then respiratory, then cardiac,

  19. Stopping patient care for another patient

    JZ_RN replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You were right, I know pain is important, but I am sorry, with the heavy patient load we have, there's not time to make trips back and forth into rooms. I would not have dropped the patient care I was...

  20. Laws in involuntary treatment?

    JZ_RN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Addictions

    But they can't be forced to have/take meds unless they are in danger? Like, say someone was in DT seizures but refused meds? Or someone had OD'ed but was refusing treatment? sooo many grey

  21. Laws in involuntary treatment?

    JZ_RN posted a topic in Addictions

    Can a person who is acutely intoxicated or experiencing withdrawal to the point of hallucinating be involuntarily committed for treatment? Like if someone calls 911 for them but they don't want to go?...

  22. Reportable?

    JZ_RN replied to GonnaBSN's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Neglect, yes. Abuse,

  23. How long was you orientation traing when you started in LTC?

    JZ_RN replied to Mrsearly2009's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    One night with a nurse who never worked that floor for 50 patients I didn't know and who could not tell me their own names for the most part. Asked for more orientation and they said no, do this or be...

  24. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    JZ_RN replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    While I am a nurse and am there to help others, I would probably stay for some time, but I would not sacrifice my life for others. Sorry. if that makes me a bad nurse, I guess I'll be a bad nurse. I...

  25. Hate and bias toward new nurses from "experienced" nurses

    JZ_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Please answer the following questions if you are a new practicing nurse. No bashing from "experienced" nurses is needed, we get enough as it is. Keep your rudeness to yourselves. I want to know, 1)...
