    HH_RN13 replied to jeastridge's topic in Nursing News

    The world is just a scary place. Not sure if anyone has heard of Kristen Gilbert, RN who is now serving multiple life sentences convicted of 3 murders while working at a VA hospital, but believed to...

    We fail our old people and it's heartbreaking

    HH_RN13 replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    As a home health RN I see these situations way too often and it's so sad! Home health is a great option for those elderly patients who live alone and have no one, but unfortunately it's not enough to...

    What do you think? My mother is told she is a drug addict by her primary care physician

    HH_RN13 replied to lhome's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry your mom has to go through this. I hope you find a doctor who can properly diagnose and treat her condition and make her more comfortable. This new wave of "everyone is a drug seeker" is...

    Is nursing school and the clinicals really that tough?

    HH_RN13 replied to BuriedSet127's topic in General Students

    I have also read many horror stories on here. Nursing school is not easy, especially if you've never been in medical field. It all depends on the school you're attending as previously mentioned and...

    Has anyone bought Jaanuu scrubs? Do you like them in comparison to other brands?

    HH_RN13 replied to TheRuralNurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've ordered them and they are very cute! I am pretty tall and thin, so they didn't quite fit right. I suggest using their size guide to make sure you get the right size. Medium would probably work...

    Accidental Pill Pusher

    HH_RN13 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that opioids pose a big risk to people and we as nurses must educate our patients about every medication they are taking and the risks and benefits of each one. And it shouldn't stop at...

    Home health supervisor visit for Mississippi LPN

    HH_RN13 replied to stephaniefaltus's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I work for a small company in Los Angeles. I think they are sending an RN with you because you are new and they want to make sure you are doing everything right. I've had to do that with new hires...

    Home health supervisor visit for Mississippi LPN

    HH_RN13 replied to stephaniefaltus's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just wondering what the big deal is that RN will be there on first visit instead of in a month? Some companies prefer to have RN make sure you are following the treatment plan beginning first visit....

    HH_RN13 replied to GundeRN's topic in General Nursing

    It actually happened to me, I was pulled over for using my phone and the police officer saw me in scrubs and my badge on and let me go with a warning. He actually asked me what I do and said he was...

    Advice on Microbiology

    HH_RN13 replied to Mchs4735's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My whole entire class in micro thought the teacher was horrible, but the problem wasn't her. It was that students expected it to be an easy class and were proven otherwise. Most people failed and the...

    Major in Fashion Design and then go to Med School?

    HH_RN13 replied to Mell101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Whoa! Look at that attitude. If I were you I'd try to be a bit nicer to the people offering you advice. It is impossible for you to know how hard an rns job is if you are not an RN. As others have...

    "I don't want him as my nurse"

    HH_RN13 replied to libran1984's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Whenever a patient tells me the pain is 15/10, all it means is they are extremely uncomfortable and they want my help to alleviate this pain. I'm not going to sit and discuss that there's nothing...

    HH_RN13 replied to RN_Mommy_2_3's topic in Home Health

    I'm never required to come in to the office. I can have supplies dropped off at my house and paperwork picked up. I choose to go though because since I'm new I sometimes still have questions about...
