    Voluntary Euthanasia

    I did mean to throw in an IMO, but you're right, I shouldn't assume your intentions. I get what you're getting

    BSN Only? Give me a break!!

    Glycerine82 replied to michaelvgrigsby's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Really, what needs to happen, is they just need to tweak the ADN program a tad and the credit hours alone in conjunction with pre-reqs would be enough to have a

    Nurses Being Made to Tech?

    Glycerine82 replied to westieluv's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Can't see why this would be a problem. All the tasks of a CNA/TECH are also nursing tasks that aren't done as frequently when you're working as a RN. Plus, I think it's good for nurses to work a few...

    How to handle my call out situation?

    Glycerine82 replied to Studentnurse94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My hospital did it by occurrences. You could miss 5 days in a row, and it would be one occurrence. You could have 4 occurrences in a 12 month period before you were written up, 6 occurrences and you...

    CNA challenging info/help

    Glycerine82 replied to kdukarski12's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Are you sure you are able to challenge the exam? I don't know about FL, but that's only a right reserved for Nursing Students here in SC. Best thing to do would be to find out who administers the...

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    Glycerine82 replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I was referring to the placing of feeding tubes for patients who have lost the ability to eat/swallow being much different than placing a feeding tube in someone who is refusing to eat. Obviously,...

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    Glycerine82 replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That may very well be, but since "voluntary euthanasia" is an oxymoron, that's not what I took it to mean. Giving consent ahead of time but not being able to consent at the time of, to me, would be...

    Best order for science prereqs

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

    Taking a chemistry course would have helped me out in AP a bit. Micro is fun, but it's hard to apply what you're learning without a good idea of how the body works. So, I would Do Chem, AP I, AP II...

    advise

    Glycerine82 replied to danlee's topic in General Students

    Based on your history, (I peeked at some of your posts) my advice is that you need to take a very long break from the nursing program and work on you. Something isn't right. Whether it's personal...

    Three sets of vitals in a 12-hour shift?

    Glycerine82 replied to SavingGrace007's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    The way it usually works, is the shift leaving does the vitals for the shift coming on. So, If vitals are q4h, the 0700 vitals would be done by night shift and the 1900 vitals by day shift. Then you...

    Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

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

    She didn't have the right to say that to you, don't get me wrong. What I'm trying to point out, is you just never know what's going on in someones life. That IS a typical scenario for a lot of...

    Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

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

    There are pro's and con's to both. (for days, anyways) With 8's you're out by 3pm and have a reasonable amount of time left in the day/night. You usually get a permanent section, because you're...

    Am I being bullied? Or is this normal?

    Glycerine82 replied to baymar67's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Total hostile work environment. Can you set up a meeting with your director to go over your responsibilities? Even in the non-nursing world, this is my biggest gripe when starting a new job. Too...

    Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

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

    I know you're young, and your outlook is kind of refreshing, but I'll give you some food for thought. That CNA has probably seen 150 or more CNAs come and go in her 13 years. She likely gets to work...

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    Glycerine82 replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Totally. If they refuse to eat, they should be allowed to refuse without having a feeding tube jammed up their nose or a PEG placed. Demented or not, it's their body calling it quits. If they CAN"T...

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    Glycerine82 replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The way that I read the OP, is that we should humanely euthanize suffering patients, such as those bedridden with dementia. To me, euthanasia = no consent obtained. I think some other posters...

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    Glycerine82 replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have no problem with that, my last fur baby died in my arms, I would have given the shot if I was allowed. I'd do it at home if I could get my hands on the meds involved. I have a problem with...

    What do you think of this?

    Glycerine82 posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I just remember this, it happened a few years ago. Now, I'm a CNA, and God knows there is much for me to learn. I was working unit clerk one day, and we had a new admit come in who was HIV +. The...

    Glycerine82 replied to DorothyR's topic in General Students

    Actually, I think its a great idea because you'll already have your foot in the door. A lot of hospitals will pay you as a nurse tech. My hospital pays 5th semester nurse techs only a little less...

    I take adderall, and it works great. Find a specialist and discuss with them. Also, switch
