    I think you'd be hard pressed to find a teacher who hasn't had chicken pox, but I can see some of the anti-vaxer's kids being

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    Glycerine82 replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    Its really not fair for them to implement a "mandatory weekends" policy and then allow someone to not work half of the mandated time if others aren't given the same opportunity. I don't think its...

    What is the compalint?

    Glycerine82 replied to rtrachelt's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The issue is that you didnt have permission from the NP to call in the meds at the time you were calling them in. You would need to notify the NP each time that a patient requested a refill and with...

    Diversity/Religion In The Workplace

    Glycerine82 replied to RutgersFlower2016's topic in General Nursing

    All she needs to do is state it's for religious reasons, although I can't for the life of me think of a religion other than Islam that requires a head scarf. If she's just trying to make waves she'll...

    Is nursing REALLY that difficult?

    Glycerine82 replied to lilythorburn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a new nurse and I don't hate my job. Actually, I love my job but it's not for everyone. You have to realize that there is a lot more to it than just e 12's a week. I have to be able to think on...

    Loss of son and finding a future

    Glycerine82 replied to bellcollector's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so very, genuinely, terribly sorry. The pain you have endured is more than anyone should have to face in 10 lifetimes. I think you should focus on yourself and getting as healthy as you can. I...

    Questioning a doctors order

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

    I question orders all the time and I hold meds I don't feel comfortable giving until I speak to the MD. I had a patient getting 8 units of novolog at hs scheduled, but his glucose was in the 80's. I...

    Glycerine82 replied to purplegal's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I love my lil' old people AND my rehab people. They are MINE while I'm working and I advocate for them and make sure they get what they need. I make doctors mad with phone calls at 9pm if I have to...

    IV Push med– do you always have to pull back for blood return?

    Charting has to be done no matter what?

    Glycerine82 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They probably want you to chart on the patient because the 7-3 nurse didn't so they've been charted on that day. (Medicare rule) I doubt they are asking you to chart on behalf of the 7-3 nurses, and...

    Math requirement for RNs?

    Glycerine82 replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    I can do it without a calculator, yes. I don't think I've ever been in a situation where I didn't have access to one, though. They are on every computer and cell phone aside from the battery...

    Nursing and the Sabbath

    Glycerine82 replied to kdf6404's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    In my opinion if you choose this career you also need to accept the things that go along with it, including working weekends and holidays. If you simply can't work on Sundays and you aren't willing...

    Glycerine82 replied to willvz's topic in General Students

    Working as a CNA can really give you exposure to all kinds of things you otherwise won't experience until you're a nurse. It also gives you some insight into how difficult of a job being a CNA really...
