  1. Holy Redeemer Hospital New Hire Smoking Policy

    flyersfan88 replied to Maryannesweeny's topic in General Nursing

    Yes they can and it is not discrimination. Smokers are not a protected class. Not sure about Holy Redeemer, but Penn does not test for nicotine (to my knowledge) despite their anti smoking policy....

  2. DNR and Hospice

    flyersfan88 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how you did....it was the most uh, interesting post I've ever seen here. Comfort care pts are rare in my floor, but I love taking care of them. I always feel so honored to do my part in...

  3. Taking care of DNR patients. The point?

    flyersfan88 replied to cholmes1223's topic in General Nursing

    This doesn't happen often, but this post made me literally dry

  4. Patient Scenario and D/C home

    flyersfan88 replied to alm3RN's topic in Emergency

    I don't work peds or ED but my first thoughts were no fluids/lab recheck after? I'm a little shocked he wasn't admitted for obs at the

  5. Do you need a tb and an x-ray as part of your physical?

    flyersfan88 replied to WE~DO~CARE's topic in General Nursing

    This reply is ridiculous and unnecessary. If she's willing to get blood work done every year, then she can go and do that. And you can stop attempting to insult the intelligence of everyone on here....

  6. Do you need a tb and an x-ray as part of your physical?

    flyersfan88 replied to WE~DO~CARE's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I think that's enough. You and your "friend" seem to only want to hear what you believe. I'm not sure what the point of you coming here asking for advice is if you don't want to hear it. You...

  7. Do you need a tb and an x-ray as part of your physical?

    flyersfan88 replied to WE~DO~CARE's topic in General Nursing

    Just because she doesn't have it now doesn't mean she cannot acquire it/be exposed. And saying testing is unsafe is a gross exaggeration, as has been explained to you and "your friend" repeatedly in...

  8. Do you need a tb and an x-ray as part of your physical?

    flyersfan88 replied to WE~DO~CARE's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not quite understanding why you don't understand that everyone needs this done. You are constantly exposed to many different types of people who are exposed to many things, one of which could be...

  9. Does nursing really suck that badly?

    flyersfan88 replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My god, you're

  10. Do you need a tb and an x-ray as part of your physical?

    flyersfan88 replied to WE~DO~CARE's topic in General Nursing

    If she doesn't understand the benefits to the necessary measures we have to take to protect sick/severely immunocompromised patients, she's probably heading into the wrong field. If she's that opposed...

  11. 500 cc of Vanco/Ns over 2 hours via pump via picc line

    flyersfan88 replied to lumbarpain's topic in Patient Medications

    What was the actual dose? Not the volume of diluting solution. Did anyone reference micromedex/other pharmaceutical

  12. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

    flyersfan88 replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think your last comment proves the original point Red Kryptonite made.... that extensive psychiatric testing needs to be done first. And I see your extremely large sample size of TG individuals you...

  13. Chamberlain Nursing School... Is it worth it?

    flyersfan88 replied to MarquieshaH's topic in Chamberlain College

    New grad nurses in Chicago don't make enough for that to not be an astounding crippling blow. If that's the only con you have, it's the only one you need. Run far, far

  14. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

    flyersfan88 replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really though....how hard is it to just say "she" and shut your mouth? Good grief. If you can't save face for one shift you shouldn't work with people in any capacity. I'd fully support any...

  15. What should I do?

    flyersfan88 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 27 years old and just graduated last year. So.....there's

  16. What should I do?

    flyersfan88 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    The OP needs to understand she is no more deserving of these amazing dreaaaaaammmmm positions than anyone else, and no "less deserving" of the "horrible LTC" positions. As seen in her other posts,...

  17. What should I do?

    flyersfan88 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    This sense of entitlement is why people can't stand new grads these days. My oh my. I have a few friends that would kill for this job

  18. What should I do?

    flyersfan88 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I can't sympathize with you. This is how I felt when I didn't have a job out of school and couldn't put food in my fridge, and wasn't sure how I was going to pay my rent. You live at home...

  19. How far in advance did you apply for your first RN job?

    flyersfan88 replied to ViennaRain's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live, it's pointless to apply until you have a license number. Your geographical area would help give some

  20. Want to be a nurse, just no butt wiping or other yucky stuff please

    flyersfan88 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Can this be made a sticky and stay permanently at the top of every

  21. AWD vehicle for nurses

    flyersfan88 replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Nursing

    Wait until you have a job. With that being said, I have a 2014 Jeep Compass Latitude 4x4. Much better gas mileage than a 2005-2010 Cherokee, has 4WD, and I have it as a relatively affordable lease....

  22. Told a salary is non negotiable. True? or room to wiggle

    flyersfan88 replied to graft's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a non union top 10 university hospital, and we use a clinical ladder pay grade. So yeah, pay here would be non

  23. first RN paycheck?

    flyersfan88 replied to nauticaburt561's topic in General Nursing

    My first paycheck was only for 1 week because of how the pay period fell when I started. I just remember laughing in relief because my loan money I lived on in school was just about gone (someone was...

  24. Do you have to be an adrenaline junkie to work in the ER?

    flyersfan88 replied to Nola009's topic in Emergency
