   neuron replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

   I don't consider these places good places to work. If they have shady, unresponsive human resources departments (that the facility allows) what else is the place like. My experience is they are cold,...

3. Need Your Opinion About Medical Emergency

   neuron replied to intellica's topic in General Nursing

   I would brush it off, because someone has to take charge over the code. If it is a medical emergency, people have to move out of the way, get the equipment without thought to their own feelings. I...

4. What's the most you're willing to pay for an ADN-BSN program? What is the average decent price?

   neuron replied to Vee D's topic in Online Distance Learning

   Did you sign a contract? If so how many years? Besides the baked in contract of having the BSN paid for, you have to sign a contract. Is this

5. Animal abuse and neglect in patient's home . Any advice on what I should do about this situation?

   neuron replied to Vee D's topic in General Specialties

   It must be very distressing to hear that. It's wrong all the way around. You have every right to let your employer know that this is not acceptable. He smokes MJ and abuses animals. Imagine what this...

6. 2 Weeks Notice?

   neuron replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

   You're entitled to your PTO. Call in, only the amount where you don't need a doctors note if that matters, whatever your policy is, get your paid time off. It's their responsibility to get the shift...

8. APS reporting and then termination

   neuron replied to Heart_nursing's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

   Somebody should have addressed the wound. Whichever nurse was assigned for wound care. It sounds like a practice issue and not an abuse

9. Guns at the Bedside

   neuron replied to rnrazzil's topic in Patient Safety Issues

   In Texas I've seen in home health, guns just laying on the table when you go to a patients house. But in hospitals or any health facility that I'm aware of, there is a very clear sign outside the...

10. APS reporting and then termination

    neuron replied to Heart_nursing's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This doesn't sound like the appropriate action to take, to take this patient to the nurse station, and undress a wound. Maybe the administrator or DON was unhappy because you didn't follow the chain...

12. Advice Please! Skilled Nursing to Assisted Living

    neuron replied to Jesshayesatx's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

15. Arguing Over a Patient Assignment

    neuron replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You HAVE to know this is wrong. You are a nurse and they don't teach this in your nursing curriculum. You selected everything but this statement on nursing exams I'm sure just so you could 'pass'....
