    Unfair Grading

    Glycerine82 replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    You have to get out of this mindset. It's not about what other people did or didn't do, or what they do or don't get. Its about you and what need to do. Now, while you're in school and...

    Was I in the Right Here?

    Glycerine82 replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

    Mr. So and So, It seems your pain is not able to be controlled. I'm going to phone the MD and get you sent to the ER to be evaluated just to be sure nothing more serious is

    Using Your Nursing Credentials to Validate Anti-Vaxxer Theories

    Glycerine82 replied to Helen Crump's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I wish they would. I'm embarrassed on a daily basis by "nurses" who are spouting misinformation and making this political. We have a duty to know

    Termination From Employer For Refusing EUV

    Glycerine82 replied to RaineyRN7's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Its not possible for the MRNA vaccines to cause long term effects, as the only thing in them is MRNA and organic ingredients. Our bodies destroy the MRNA shortly after it speaks to our DNA, leaving...

    Glycerine82 posted a topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I've recently accepted a position as Unit Manager for a 38 bed sub-acute unit. I don't have management experience in nursing, and honestly - I have no idea what I'm doing, but they know that....

    New DON

    Glycerine82 replied to bbrown74's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The problem is the CNA to patient ratio. If they have a lot of total care patients they aren't going to do oral care on everyone. They'll probably only do it on those who request it - its awful....

    Glycerine82 replied to Green-eyedNurse's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    I'm 99% sure ADONs have to be RNs. Its in the ballpark of 80-90k/year up to 120k depending on area and experience from what I've

    Accredited?

    Glycerine82 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Excelsior College

    I looked it up but I'm still confused as to what it means. From what I can gather I can still sit for the NCLEX in MA, which is all I really care about. I just don't want to pay the tuition and end...

    Well, after two different people (with experience) didn’t work out - I’ve now been offered the job. I need guidance from those who have done this. One of my barriers is that I...

    Critical Thinking - Need Help!

    Glycerine82 replied to jennsrn's topic in General Nursing

    True, but I know in my line of work, notifying the MD multiple times in a night would cause me to be late with my other patients in addition to pissing the MD off - which for me is reason to try to...

    Glycerine82 replied to jennsrn's topic in General Nursing

    For me, I think about what the doctor might do If I called immediately versus if I try xyz intervention and then call with all of the info. Sure, I can call with a high BP but what Is the MD...

    What Color Scrubs Are Appropriate?

    Glycerine82 replied to spikedorchid's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    They're probably talking about the super tight scrubs with the low-cut v-neck type. I would think any scrubs that fit well and allow you to move freely would be fine. I personally have a...

    Suspicion About Med Error
