    Glycerine82 replied to old&improved's topic in General Nursing

    WOW, it sounds like you're talking about my facility. I have noticed this as well and it saddens me because I've recently realized that none of them care, It's all about a paycheck. To get that...

    "Allow LPNs to challenge the Board of Nursing to obtain RN licensure" viral post

    Glycerine82 replied to TheRuralNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I like to think I am a pretty good nurse. I do the best I can on a 60 bed memory care unit with only one other nurse and 5 CNAS. I actually have 3 years of education if you put it all together (took...

    Nurses and bullies...

    Glycerine82 replied to nightingale4me's topic in General Nursing

    I see a lot of posts and comments on this topic, and it's rarely bullying. Not getting along with someone, being rude or dismissive to them, refusing to talk to them... all those things are super...

    Abstinence Programs

    Glycerine82 replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    For what its worth, I think kids need to have sex education, the details and the rationale for why they should practice safe sex. Abstinence programs do nothing but rob them of much needed...

    The Men in OB Debate: Help!

    Glycerine82 replied to jay_prn's topic in General Nursing

    It's going to depend on the individual patient. No one person can speak for the entire specialty and there is absolutely a place for men in OB, of course. I can't understand anyone having a...

    Ethical issue?

    Glycerine82 replied to nursesmatter's topic in General Nursing

    Did she have a dementia dx? Depending on her cognitive status it could have been the right or the wrong call. If she is confused and asks for her husband all the time regardless of recent events, no,...

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    Glycerine82 replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you struggle with math? 3% of PP services are r/t abortion and NOT funded by the gvmt. Thus - 97% of the services provided by PP have zero to do with abortion. This means that 100% of the payment...

    Glycerine82 replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Because they aren't doing research. They are just running with the latest facebook posts without knowing what they're talking about.

    THIS! I had to take my sister to get an abortion after she was raped and was so afraid that if she had the baby and her then bf found out, he would kill her. It was $700, up front and we had to...

    Are you supposed to check a boy's foreskin during a physical?

    Don't touch it, it isn't meant to be retracted until puberty or later. Its attached, or it should be until it becomes separated later in

    ER Nurse to Lunch Break Before Medicating Patient for Pain

    Glycerine82 replied to wondern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the nurse wasn't clear in that the med was not yet ordered/available to give when he/she went to lunch and became available while he/she was gone. It sounds like this was a great nurse and I...

    Verbal order-Denied by resident

    Glycerine82 replied to Traumamama02's topic in Emergency

    When the attending "shot down" your idea of hanging the propofol at a lower rate and said she'd rather use versed and fentanyl, she was saying d/c propofol and start versed and fentanyl. I am...

    Ethical issue regarding antipsychotic

    Glycerine82 replied to ksusn's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's just me and the fact that I work in LTC but I can't really think of any scenario where saying "anti-psychotic" would be helpful. Yes, we know that's what it is, but sometimes...

    Where can I get male only patients?

    Glycerine82 replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    I find it ridiculous only because this is healthcare, and I don't find "I can't care for females" to be even slightly reasonable. I think if someone's religion is that stringent, choosing a career...

    Where can I get male only patients?

    Glycerine82 replied to Firas5's topic in General Nursing

    The explanation is that it is care that is needed to be given and there is absolutely nothing sexual or inappropriate about it. If you can't care for females you have chosen the wrong field. I...

    Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    Glycerine82 replied to StaffNurseMcS's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    No. I am looking out for my patients, first and foremost. I may well not report an error to anyone but the person who made it, but my concern is never about whether or not someone needs their job, or...

    Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    Diphenhydramine

    Glycerine82 replied to RestingNurseFace's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I believe what they do is submit it for further testing to identify the metabolites and/or Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, which identifies the substance with 100% accuracy. In random...

    LVN Charge nurse with no LTC Exp is it worth it?

    Glycerine82 replied to Life22feb's topic in General Nursing

    I can really only comment on what LTC is like in my experience, as I've not been a charge nurse. We have 60 pts with 5 CNAs and two LPNs on 3-11, (6 cnas on days). Here's the dirty truth The only...
