  1. Parent Faked Order?

    bugya90 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    When schools call us to confirm a note we just confirm that yes that did come from our office and the excused dates are in fact correct. Our notes are pretty standard and say please excuse Susie for...

  2. Parent Faked Order?

    bugya90 replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I'm not a school nurse however I work in a family practice clinic and can speak to that end of it. I'm not sure why you're not getting through to anyone at the clinic which is unacceptable. Every fall...

  3. Only RN and they want me to do care fore patients and blood transfusions.

    bugya90 replied to midwestvintage's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    What state are you in. There may be something in your nurse practice act, especially regarding the blood. Also look up your facility's official policy regarding the blood process. If you find...

  4. How often did YOU see the school nurse?

    bugya90 replied to SnugglePuggle's topic in School

    I was a frequent flier. At least once a month in elementary. I always had horrible headaches and now that I'm an adult have figured out that I have allergy induced migraines and that's probably what I...

  5. Only RN and they want me to do care fore patients and blood transfusions.

    bugya90 replied to midwestvintage's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    That doesn't sound safe. In my state the two nurse verification can be done with a LVN and RN but the RN is the one who hangs the blood and is ultimately responsible for the patient. It sounds like...

  6. Advising Upwards: How to Advise Nurses as a CNA

    bugya90 replied to packersfan1590's topic in Nursing Career

    I would suggest you speak with your manager regarding your concerns and let them handle it. It's one thing to say "hey don't forget when you go in to give Mrs. Smith her meds she wants you to check...

  7. Diabetes in the elderly

    bugya90 replied to Mandeecookrn's topic in General Students

    Please do an actual interview with someone from your area. You have no way of verifying if we are actually nurses or some 16 yo kid with nothing better to do. You can contact your PCPs office to see...

    bugya90 replied to Libby1987's topic in Nurse Management

    My manager puts it perfectly. "I don't fire people they fire themselves". Everyone is responsible for their own behavior not matter who they try to

  10. Breaking hospital contract

    bugya90 replied to ColletteRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked in a military town for a while. His orders to transfer should be enough to get you out of your contract without a problem. Just like his orders can get you out of any lease agreements. It...

  11. Do you still have to do dosages math by hand as an RN now?

    bugya90 replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    You probably won't be able to use any apps in school as they do want you to learn to do it by hand and/or with a calculator. I work family med and have to do med calculations occasionally for our pedi...

  12. Venting

    bugya90 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Forewarning this is a vent post. My clinic manager (not a nurse) told me to sign an order as a verbal because a Dr didn't do it the way he was supposed. #1 per facility policy we are not supposed to...

  13. Venting

    bugya90 replied to bugya90's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She has a bachelors in healthcare administration so she does not have if the alphabet soup after her name (RN, MD, etc). I'd be willing to lay money nothing actually happens. She might get an email...

  14. Venting

    bugya90 replied to bugya90's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She is actually not my manager she is the clinic manager meaning she is over the business and clerical side of things. Nursing and providers fall under a completely different set of management. My...

  15. Should I leave this racist town?

    bugya90 replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree bigotry can be found in all 50 states and am in no way saying racism is exclusive to one area. Just speaking to my experience. My in laws are from the north and my step father in law is a...

  16. Should I leave this racist town?

    bugya90 replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a white southern female let me first apologize that you have experienced this type of bigot uneducated behavior. Have you mentioned to your coworker that these inappropriate comments are uncalled...

  17. Does Excelsior still accept RT's?

    bugya90 replied to irishgrl1's topic in Excelsior College

    They recently changed some of their admissions requirements and I believe they are no longer accepting RTs. They are also looking at adding other requirements such as entrance tests, work experience,...

  18. Patient privacy and pelvic exams

    bugya90 replied to cphillipslpn's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nurse in a physicians office. There has to be a chaperone during genital exams for both females and males. I normally stand about waist level with the patient. I'm close enough to hand the...

    bugya90 replied to BlueDawnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am with a few. My rule is I am so only friends with coworkers on Facebook that I am friends with in real life and actually talk to outside of work. I also don't post a lot on Facebook anyway, mostly...

  20. Nurses, do you feel respected by NPs

    bugya90 replied to Buckeyeqt's topic in General Nursing

    I work family med. Our NPs are as respectful to us as our MDs are. We are not buddy buddy but do have a good working relationship. I have seen them get frustrated when one of our MAs did not do...

  21. Immunizations

    bugya90 replied to hooliebug's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You doctors office should have access to the database for vaccines. It's called ImmTrac here in Texas, not sure if it's the same in other states. Call and ask them to look you up and order any titers...

  22. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    bugya90 replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    Dump him, he is not worth the three years you will waste on him. Get rid of the best friend that only uses you. She turns out to be the worst maid of honor ever and you won't even speak to her after...

  23. Working with injury

    bugya90 posted a topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    So I'm pretty sure I have a stress fracture in my foot from running. My Dr wants to wait another week before he orders testing and referrals in the hopes that it's just an overuse injury that'll start...

    bugya90 replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nurses Rock

    I have done the shots out of the syringes before. It actually works out pretty good... You can make badge clips out of the vial caps. We have a cup collecting the discarded vial caps at my
