  1. Tell me why an LVN/LPN is a "real nurse"

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

    LVN's have a LICENSE to practice and can take orders from an MD. In LTC, LVN's do initial assessments and do a full on admission. But not in an acute care setting. But they are real lives with real...

  2. Unfair Clinical Evaluations

    neuron replied to guest723's topic in General Students

    I agree with others, try to stay silent, and if it stays the same, file a complaint for abuse against your instructor (if it comes down to that) or the school. You are not at school to be abused or...

  3. Question regarding minimum staffing

    neuron replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    There are very little consequences for an administrator/CEO. They can simply hide behind the curtain and push buttons and throw staff under the bus. This is all the norm now for

  4. Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

    neuron replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Get over it, I'm not

  5. Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

    neuron replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    During Hurricane Harvey, our facility had staff spend the night the whole week, the DON and administrator were readily available as they spent the night in their offices. Staff brought their dogs or...

  6. Everyone is white?

    neuron replied to eacue's topic in General Nursing

    There is not much you can do about the hierarchy, but they hired you to do a job. They liked you for some reason. It is uncomfortable being the only minority, especially on the social scene when...

  7. Using medical terminology as a nurse

    neuron replied to RCHCLVN's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient is on a medication such as Rifampin, and no blood, then the urine would be clear with a red tinge, but if there is blood present then there may be

  8. Rude nurses

    neuron replied to rnbsn2md's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mountains of responsibility, understaffed, and left hung to

  9. Manager Retaliatiin

    neuron replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    She said she worked night shift, administration is usually available during the day. If she needed a 1 to 1, it may have been an immediate need and 'waiting for the boss' may not have been an option....

  10. Manager Retaliatiin

    neuron replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    Just some comments. 1) Not sure if all states do this, but Texas BON has a 'Safe Harbor' form that a nurse can give to the supervisor before their shift starts. It is paper informing your employer...

  11. Short male nurses

    neuron replied to BlueWolfStitch's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I always welcome a manly presence, whether short or tall. Try being a woman who always has to ask a man to help lift a patient, etc. They will appreciate your help, shorter or tall, trust

  12. Exhausted; I want a way out.

    neuron replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    can you leave this part

  13. Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

    neuron replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Men are far more associated with pedophilia and violence than women. The drug reduces the amount of testosterone, I say go for it. So there are 100 sex offenders, and 7 of them are women. This is why...

  14. I have made a complaint against an NP

    neuron replied to Oldmahubbard's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That is a little more than what I would have liked to have

  15. Permanently Kicked out of Practicum

    neuron replied to FrustratedExStudent's topic in General Students

    I can't imagine being kicked out a month before graduation. That seems harsh. I would go to your handbook for disciplinary action. Most schools would write a student up first or repeat the clinical. I...

  16. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    neuron replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, like booking a hotel to full

  17. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    neuron replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    Patients can only get what is paid for, not by them but by the CEO's and MBA's who run the hospital/facility. Workloads are already set before we arrive for our shifts. I.V.'s and blood sugars have to...

  18. Another Tragedy at Vanderbilt

    neuron replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry if I've repeated anyones post, but from what I understand this resident is still employed at the hospital. The nurse was terminated. Wow. I don't believe the nurse should be among criminal...

  19. Lost job over HIPAA violation

    neuron replied to MInurse19's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The hospital is responsible for the patient. The nurse is just the worker. I couldn't care less about people's charts. But I need information so I can complete my job. They admitted the patient. If...

  20. Lost job over HIPAA violation

    neuron replied to MInurse19's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Patient information is important, but I believe the hospital should be liable for any nurse who access anyone's chart and that *they* be held responsible for allowing anyone access to patients chart....

  21. My First Enema, PANICKING?

    neuron replied to XoThatGirlLeX's topic in General Nursing

    You may have to remove or disimpact stool first or else it may not go in far enough to produce results, I believe this can make it come back splashing at you within seconds. An enema can produce a...

  22. RaDonda Vaught's Arraignment - Guilty or Not of Reckless Homicide and Patient Abuse?

    neuron replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    She was not involved in a violent crime, she simply overrode safety features. And not monitoring the patient after giving the medication. She should lose her license and possibly be sued for...

  23. Would you File a Complaint?

    neuron replied to everchangingRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nope.

  24. Would you File a Complaint?

    neuron replied to everchangingRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wouldn't even ask if I should file I complaint, I probably would have already. A nurse cursing at me, not let me see my family, being rude. I wouldn't discuss it. To the board of nursing I

  25. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    neuron replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No one will ever see the MBA/CEO or know their name - staffing for safe ratios and patient safety is not their concern. The responsibility will fall on the nurse. These jobs are like wolves in...
