    Question about Cussing on the job.

    Glycerine82 replied to Roda dendron's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When I was a CNA I probably worked with over 100 different nurses over the years. I never had any of them swear at me. In front of me? Yes, but never at me. Not that I didn't deserve it sometimes,...

    How old is too old to safely practice?

    Glycerine82 replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Ok, so unless you're an airline pilot, age shouldn't be an issue, ever. Biological age differs from chronological age, and there are many 30-somethings who aren't as healthy as 60-somethings, making...

    Lpn to rn curriculum

    Glycerine82 replied to whatwasithinking75's topic in Excelsior College

    She's just being helpful, the reality is that online learning is absolutely not for everyone and this particular program has a very high rate of students who can't pass the cpne. I also intend on...

    What does this mean?

    Glycerine82 replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I first went back to school, after being out of school 10+ years (graduated High School in 2000), I placed into a remedial math class. I was mortified, but it had just been so long. Now Its...

    Glycerine82 replied to Chilled1121's topic in Critical Care

    When I worked as unit secretary I was the go to person for the nurses to find out their sections, and I observed and/or helped the charge nurse make up the assignment, so maybe I can help with...

    Is this common?

    Glycerine82 replied to pepino23's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to say its exceedingly rare. As an aside, you likely won't find the grass to be greener elsewhere, it sounds like you're nursing in NCLEX land,

    The problem with Some new nurses

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

    Some nurses do delegate out of convenience, which shouldn't happen. Other nurses delegate when they can't meet that particular need within a reasonable amount of time. The reason you have a job is...

    Did i pass nclex ?

    Glycerine82 replied to nshah0212's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I feel the need to say that I just took NCLEX last week and suffered the mandated 48 hours while I waited for quick results. I may or may not have done the PVT in my insanity, but I'll never tell....

    Difficult PO Medication Administration

    Glycerine82 replied to gpmedsec's topic in Patient Medications

    Perception is reality, so my advice is to just go with the situation. If you try to sit there and say "Ms. G, it's time for your medicine" it's probably not going to go over very well. On the other...

    Glycerine82 replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I discovered I enjoyed caring for people in 2001 while I was caring for my Nana. I didn't think I was smart enough to be a nurse, at the age of 19 I was still undiagnosed with ADHD and thought...

    Seriously?? Small rant.

    Glycerine82 replied to DelaneyB's topic in General Nursing

    If it's not that hard, why aren't you one? There are NO strictly online schools for nursing. I was a CNA for 7 years and I PROMISE you it was NOT easy to become a nurse. There is a reason it's a...

    10 year old died after I performed CPR

    Glycerine82 replied to MjHudd's topic in General Nursing

    You gave his family a wonderful gift of showing them that you did all you could do. They don't have to live with the "what ifs" and "if onlys" that would come if CPR wasn't initiated. I'm so sorry,...

    Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    Glycerine82 replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    The MRO is supposed to report the screen as negative when they receive proof of RX. It's reported as "non-negative" before then, meaning that it's not + for illicit drugs, but legal with rx ones. I...
