  1. Problem with therapist

    exp626 replied to PavementRN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    How frustrating! Having a key restriction is a game-changer in the job search. And it ties your hands in an interview, because if you have a key restriction you need to tell them during the...

  2. My HIPAA dilemma

    exp626 replied to wizski's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm sorry for your loss, and for the mental anguish you're going through r/t guilt. You did your best within the limits that you had to work within. Whatever you would have/could have done is now a...

  3. Denied a job, what would you do?

    exp626 replied to jpdlii's topic in Nursing Career

    That must sting. You've asked for input, and that's all you can do. You can't force it, which I'm sure you know. Maybe this is the push out of the nest you need for something bigger and better. I...

  4. Nasty nurses II

    exp626 replied to Sabr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't want to pick on or rant on a population or age group. We're all a mixed bag of good and bad, and I'm no exception. I was just feeling a bit snarky after reading a lot of rants against older...

  5. Nasty nurses II

    exp626 replied to Sabr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    On the other hand, there are also younger nurses who don't pull their weight, refuse admissions, and over-delegate to the PCT's, when they have plenty of time to sit around and talk and text. They'll...

  6. "It's Not That Special --

    exp626 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm with you, Ruby Vee! If something pops up on the "what's new" thread and I think I have something to contribute, I'm on it! I don't always notice if it's in a specialty thread, especially if it's...

  7. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    exp626 replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    A few years ago there was a patient on my unit on C-Diff isolation. I walked by the room to see her adult son, wearing gloves and gown, and blowing up the donut she'd been sitting on for

  8. Not just another NETY thread....

    exp626 replied to AmyRN303's topic in First Year After Licensure

    By the way...what does "NETY"

  9. Not just another NETY thread....

    exp626 replied to AmyRN303's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I work on a unit with several newer nurses. I think part of the unwelcoming feeling newer nurses get is that people forget/don't realize when a new nurse is off orientation and is working on their...

  10. Forgetting to waste meds

    exp626 replied to NewGirl24's topic in Patient Medications

    My hospital has an auditing computer program. This sort of activity would very likely result in termination. You must waste narcs immediately (forthwith!). Do not wait until the end of your shift....

  11. How to tell manager you are seeking internal transfer

    exp626 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The previous posters are correct. I think it's still a good idea to talk with your manager, and go into the conversation as though you had no idea they'd know about the interview. You can go into...

  12. Gratitude corner

    exp626 replied to Twoyearnurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I recall in earlier recovery having feelings of overwhelming well-being. These experiences didn't occur often and they weren't reproducible, but they were profound. I hadn't experienced this feeling...

  13. Blacklisted by your Nursing School?

    exp626 replied to PolishGirlRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    School's over, you graduated and passed your NCLEX. Their refusal to return your calls/emails is their answer to you, so just move on. If they feel harassed, continuing to call and dropping by will...

  14. Getting investigated for "diversion"

    exp626 replied to Liric's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm truly sorry for the trials you're going through. You sound confused and frustrated, and I hope you find some help in these posts. You must drop your focus on the ER, charting, and the doctors....

  15. how to deal with an evil boss...

    exp626 replied to jlynn167's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, she sounds awful. You took her on when you confronted her...don't think I'm not saying you shouldn't have, I think it was pretty awesome! If you let her chase you away it just rewards and...

  16. Feminism, Nursing, and Gender

    exp626 replied to fakenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    My mom once gave me a "Mothers Day" gift "from all the patients I take care of, because I mother them". Her intention was sweet, but I was offended on a visceral level. I tried to explain to her that...

  17. Assignment of breaks and lunches

    exp626 replied to D.R.A.'s topic in Nurse Management

    From a budgetary standpoint, a few employees are costing your institution more than face value. You have to overstaff just to meet your matrix, and then you pay sick time to habitual callers-in,...

  18. aaaaand I'm done!

    exp626 replied to Vehn's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Congratulations! And here's a celebration song for you: you are done, la la la la, done, done, done, so happy for you! I can't wait til I'm done too! (Chorus). Seriously though, I'm so very happy...

  19. Float Team or Ortho???

    exp626 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I really could use the insight from other nurses. I've been a cardiac nurse for 18 years, and I need to make a change. It's just not as fulfilling any more, and I'd like to work for a different...

  20. Float Team or Ortho???

    exp626 replied to exp626's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for all of your input, it really does help me to make a tough choice. Floating is scary just because I'd be so out of my comfort zone knowledge-wise. I'm also nervous about getting the...

  21. Difficulties with Florida IPN

    exp626 replied to Sm1986's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Also, you​'re much better off if you can just work with IPN and avoid getting the BON

  22. Difficulties with Florida IPN

    exp626 replied to Sm1986's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow, you have a big decision to make. Of course no one can comment on most of the content of your OP because not information was given. I know many nurses who have dealt with license suspensions,...

  23. I got a job offer!!!

    exp626 replied to RNMSN51's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What wonderful news!

  24. Vent: suspended for not charting on time

    exp626 replied to hopesgramcracker's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm so sorry that you're going through this. Going forward, I suggest that you always, always, chart meds as you go. A nurse can't be held responsible for looking back in Pyxis records before giving...

  25. Who does that?!

    exp626 posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was reading a thread in another area, about napping at work. Someone wrote that she heard that there are nurses who even divert meds, and then asked "Who does that?!". Ouch. I wanted to respond,...
