  1. Why so nasty?

    Lovely_RN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's a hospital setting. We are around the same age and are actually of the same race and ethnic background. So that's not it. She also knew way in advance that she would be precepting me because a...

  2. Need a new job, STAT, but depressed at the thought of another SNF

    Lovely_RN replied to rainbowsandsunshine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Do you have any co-workers you can trust? A lot of nurses have per diem jobs at different facilities. Ask around discreetly and a co-worker might give you a heads up about a good

  3. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    Lovely_RN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for clarifying

  4. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    Lovely_RN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how we're supposed to get the message out to the general public that the highlighted duties take precedence over fetching a box of tissues or a fresh pitcher of ice water if your own...

  5. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    Lovely_RN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was once a CNA too and I'm curious about this mentality that the nurse should only ask a CNA to do something if they are absolutely swamped. So if both nurse and CNA are available to answer a call...

  6. Patient's addicted to narcotics

    Lovely_RN replied to rn undisclosed name's topic in General Nursing

    Are your really a nurse? Four posts so far and you've done nothing but attack people. Something smells fishy...anyway welcome to

  7. Patient's addicted to narcotics

    Lovely_RN replied to rn undisclosed name's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I've learned a lot about opiate tolerance during my time in the methadone clinic. I would be doing dose verifications for hospitalized patients and the nurse or MD on the other end would be...

  8. As basic decency slips away....We watch them die and do nothing.........

    Lovely_RN replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    The epitaph: He/she died a hero on their tombstone will feed their surviving family. Exactly, just because you've seen something done or know what needs to be done doesn't mean that you're capable...

  9. As basic decency slips away....We watch them die and do nothing.........

    Lovely_RN replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    Your very life is required for the job? They should put "non-martyrs need not apply" some place on the application. There were 75 people on that shore. I'm sure the responders told people to not jump...

  10. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    Lovely_RN replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ah please, some folks want blood out of a turnip. If you get your self-esteem from this job then you're in big trouble because there are many people who will NEVER be satisfied with the "service."...

  11. Patient's addicted to narcotics

    Lovely_RN replied to rn undisclosed name's topic in General Nursing

    It's unfortunate that yet another law is needed to control deviant human behavior but it really is a huge problem. I used to work in methadone maintenance and many patients on methadone had a racket...

  12. HELP!! Cardio III or Classic II SE??

    Lovely_RN replied to tnt714's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm happy with my Classic II but maybe you should do a search? There are a lot of threads weighing the pros and cons of various Littman's as well as other brands of

  13. HELP!! Cardio III or Classic II SE??

    Lovely_RN replied to tnt714's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I had the Littmann Liteweight when I was in school and for my first nursing job. I felt that the tubing was a little short but it got the job done and cost about $50. Unfortunately I floated to...

  14. Alegria Clogs

    Lovely_RN posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Are these good shoes for a person with a wide flat feet? My width is a D and I also need shoes with a wide toe box that won't rub on my baby toes. Anyone wear this brand? If yes which style? Is there...

  15. Is making friends in school important?

    Lovely_RN replied to CourtneyLR's topic in General Students

    I wasn't seeking friends but I made a few and still speak to some of my classmates. It's been nice for networking purposes; we trade information about job openings or educational opportunities for the...

  16. Accelerated BSN - Will it help you get a job?

    Lovely_RN replied to jam752's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Did I tell the OP to not go to nursing school? Nursing has been pretty good to me but I did come up against the attitude that only nursing degrees and nursing experience count in nursing. At this...

  17. Accelerated BSN - Will it help you get a job?

    Lovely_RN replied to jam752's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Welcome to nursing! You're about to find out that the average nursing recruiter/manager/ADON/DON has zero respect for any accomplishments, experiences, or degrees obtained outside of the nursing...

  23. In your opinion, how many pts is too many in SNF/rehab?

    Lovely_RN replied to ComeClarity's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nope, all LTC/SNF are not like that one. There are some good ones but the majority are the same or worse than what you're describing. You're right, life is too short to be miserable so I can't blame...

  24. In your opinion, how many pts is too many in SNF/rehab?

    Lovely_RN replied to ComeClarity's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's understandable that you feel confused and upset by your "baptism by fire" into the nurse home business. Being a new grad and getting thrown into a situation that is nothing like what they told...

  25. Do hospital patients get better care if they're nice

    Lovely_RN replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    That's unacceptable. The only thing I can think of is that you didn't have an order and the nurse was scared to call the MD at night for a tylenol order (which is WRONG). The next thing, did you ask...
