  1. Three months to kill before Nursing School... what to do

    butterfliesrus replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

    If you want to invest in making your first semester easier- go ahead and make flashcards as you want for the drugs you are about to learn. That is probably my weakest part of my academic career as a...

  2. Should nurses perform outside scope of practice during emergency situations?

    butterfliesrus replied to chels0641's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think you will find a lot of information specifically with intubation though it is a true legal and ethical problem. I recommend looking at nurses performing outside of scope in general during...

  5. What to do about refusing Dr. orders?

    butterfliesrus replied to nancynurse0828's topic in General Nursing

    I am still a nursing student but even I know that the doctor's first degree means very little in their scope of practice so that's not really a good arguement in their favor. I've taken pre-med...

  6. Did I just get thrown under the bus? Or I'm a bad nurse?

    butterfliesrus replied to proudauntie415's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh goodness. I am still a nursing student but I worked at a LTC facility for a good hard while with plenty of experience in watching the new nurses get "thrown under the bus" by nurses who "eat" their...

  7. Is your workplace haunted?

    butterfliesrus replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    Ha! I am not a big believer in ghost stories, but that doesn't mean I'll say that they don't happen. I haven't been haunted or anything like that, but the LTC facility I used to work at was famous for...

  8. I love you boss ... BUT!!...

    butterfliesrus replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    Personal vent: A friend was working a double and asked to stay for a triple so that another worker wouldn't be paid overtime. Ridiculous! She said no and I covered the shift; I got paid the over-time....

  9. Did I deserve this?

    butterfliesrus replied to jaelpn's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty sure that if you are "trained" to be the urine-collecting nurse who is in charge of deciding whether or not the co-worker is going to get compensation for an incident, then you are liable for...

  10. Death- your experiences

    butterfliesrus replied to Darkfield's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say I am comfortable with death. I work in a nursing home and we have hospice patients who pass every few weeks because our company is very close partners with a hospice company. The nurses...

  11. does anyone regret this career?

    butterfliesrus replied to cantdoit's topic in General Nursing

    Highly recommend home health care. I worked in a nursing home for almost 2 years and was dying, not because of the patients or even my fellow nurses/cna/co-workers. It was the ridculous management! I...

  12. Nursing Mandatory Continuing Education Research Survey

    butterfliesrus replied to fer1220's topic in General Nursing

    I would recommend putting this in the Nurses tab then since most of the "students" on this area of allnurses are going to be those going for their BSN. Just a

  13. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    butterfliesrus replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I had the same problem with the CNA job I worked at for a full year. I stuck it through primarily so my resume wouldn't look as if I had no loyalty; and the job loved me for it because I actually...

  14. Can someone "dumb down" what Obamacare really means?

    butterfliesrus replied to EarthwormRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't usually post on political areas of nursing but I did want to give you the website where the Affordable Care Act is pretty striaght-forward, just in case you weren't aware of it. Read the Law...
