  1. What on Earth?

  2. New LVN grad, 3 days of orientation with no pay.

    minnymi replied to Nurse1005's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I wouldn't pursue any of it any further. I would move on and act like it never happened. I would take it as a lesson learned, and an expensive one. I would not fight to be paid for an orientation...

  3. Patient abadonement?

    minnymi replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Is there a charge nurse who exchanges report on ALL the patients with another charge nurse when changing

  4. Had my first grievance, not very happy...

    minnymi replied to mjs2118's topic in General Nursing

    i would hate to be the nurse for another nurse who worked in the same facility. i wonder if she had a choice to be a patient elsewhere. i definitely wouldn't want to be a patient where i work

  5. What on Earth?

    minnymi replied to xoemmylouox's topic in Indiana Nursing

    i would definitely only provide my work email address. from the looks of the link she has an interest in medical information being available online. maybe she's doing some type of research study and...

  6. What on Earth?

    minnymi replied to xoemmylouox's topic in Indiana Nursing

    i think it was denied at first, but then the law office took it to the superior court which said they had to comply with the request. i could be wrong, but that's what i got from

  7. New Grad Needing Advice

    minnymi replied to MeaganRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I guess it depends how badly you need the job. In my opinion, if you let her know you don't intend to stay then she'll treat you as disposable because well....you are to her. Managers want to hear and...

  8. It's sort of a bummer with some of these aids

    minnymi replied to ldiva0808's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i just noticed you're the same one who posted about "your aide" grabbing your hand. it seems to me that YOU might be the one who has an issue with the aides. authority trip, maybe? i don't know. it's...

  9. What on Earth?

    minnymi replied to xoemmylouox's topic in Indiana Nursing

    i can just see a lawyer in court going after someone who impersonated a nurse. slapping down a fat stack of papers with the name of every nurse in indiana listed on it and shouting, "is your name on...

    minnymi replied to NBMom1225's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think the compliance hotline is a good idea. I've always been skeptical of using it even though it's supposed to be anonymous. I always figured they probably record the conversations and break out...

  11. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    minnymi replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    The school I attended used to have the students re-use needles to practice....until they noticed that when the students got into the clinical setting they were recapping needles. It had become a habit...

  12. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "more educated" is a proper term. i'm more educated than someone with a high school diploma. someone with a doctorate is more educated than i

  14. Motivating the Nurse in All of Us

    minnymi replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    I loved this quote when I was a single mom trying to go to college the FIRST time around (LOL)....it seemed like I was NEVER going to get finished...and I've heard so many people say, "id have to go...

    minnymi replied to NBMom1225's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    what about the ED doctors? can they not make sure the pts are sent to the correct

  16. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    everyone may not agree with me, but at least my stance is clear. not, "oh it's harmless...look at dr. greg who isn't a doctor who does it," but "nurse is a protected title...and why would she use it...

  17. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    you said you had read all the posts. if that were the case, you would know that she doesn't need to gain stature. hence, the i've said why i think this highly educated, multiple credentialed...

  18. The gross side of nursing..

    minnymi replied to Ashley94's topic in General Nursing

    if this is a concern, have you considered doing a CNA course before you put all the time and effort into nursing school? i was worried that i may not be able to handle all the "gross stuff" so before...

  19. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    that is NOT what she is doing. why would someone with all the education and certifications she has need to "gain stature." what's the difference in this woman going by "nurse" and Dr. Greg who isn't...

  20. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    the word "nurse" isn't protected. it's "registered nurse" and the woman isn't using that. i assume "licensed teacher" is probably protected too, but not merely "teacher." that's why anyone on the...

  21. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    this might work in a situation where it was a CNA calling themselves a nurse and a RN was correcting them. but i would worry in this particular case if the OP who is a LPN took that approach the...

  22. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    they can....and they do. it's just that in this case...she's kind of right. if it weren't that she was calling herself a "nurse" it would be "this woman i work with who is certified in everything...

  23. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually....she could do that. Then they'd both look silly!

  24. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i'm sure there are people who are/will be equally upset about this person going by "nurse." the issue for ME personally with people using the term nurse is that they usually have little or NO...

  25. Ultrasound Tech Telling Patients She is a Nurse

    minnymi replied to BrewerLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So, she's a registered vascular tech, registered sonographer in multiple capacities, and has a bachelor's degree in healthcare. Hmm. That changes my opinion a little. She probably says she's a "nurse"...
