  1. license was suspended - documentation errors

    markjrn replied to lisa bear rn's topic in General Nursing

    Good point! I learn from my own mistakes as well as others' mistakes. I'm also interested in finding out if this phone call was legitimate or some weirdo. If it's fraud, we all need to be aware of...

  2. license was suspended - documentation errors

    markjrn replied to lisa bear rn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I don't really see what's wrong with it. So far I think she has received good advice

  3. Peter Jennings' Death, and pt teachings

    markjrn replied to Fun2's topic in General Nursing

    I know, it really is. Don't get me wrong, in defense of smokers, I still have the odd craving, but I feel so much better since I quit! I wish everyone

  4. Peter Jennings' Death, and pt teachings

    markjrn replied to Fun2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone famous dying from lung cancer is going to help convince someone to quit. I quit quite a while ago, and if you don't want to do it on your own, you aren't going to be successful,...

  5. Tell me about your "brain" or "cheat sheet"

    markjrn replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I totally believe it, of course! I have seen many CNA's take report better than nurses. You've got responsibilities

  6. Tell me about your "brain" or "cheat sheet"

    markjrn replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Well nowadays, my brain only has one patient on it so it is very different from the past. But in the past, I developed my own brain - very generic with open "blocks" for rooms/patients on one side,...

  7. Get it in Writing! (vent)

    markjrn replied to NorthER,RN's topic in International Nursing

    I feel for you. But think positive - at least you learned that lesson the first time. It took me twice. I miss a position terribly that I had years back, and it just doesn't exist anymore. I've...

  8. Looking like a Nurse

    markjrn replied to loserboy's topic in Men in Nursing

    My DW who is also an RN says that (in her opinion) it has nothing to do with the letters behind your name and that if you're a good guy, nature will take its course. Seriously, she's sitting right...

  9. Looking like a Nurse

    markjrn replied to loserboy's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm the same height and weight as you and have worn the "skinhead" look for years. It can look pretty harsh. At times I have a goatee also, it just depends on my mood. I have never had any real...

  10. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    markjrn replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well that's good news! Have a good sleep.

  11. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    markjrn replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I can relate to that life. :) It's my favorite, for some reason. I remember driving through central and northern Idaho and western Montana a few years back. The thought of it burning saddens

  12. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    markjrn replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the state (I was hoping I knew someone there who could help you). I wasn't aware that you guys were in the midst of flames. Hopefully it's quickly contained and...

  13. Please say a prayer for my dad...

    markjrn replied to DustinRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry. You're in my

  15. Which stethoscope?

    markjrn replied to kelnich's topic in General Nursing

    I have had a Master for years and think it's the best I've used. The wife likes hers as well. Good luck on the test!

    Oops, sorry! I didn't realize this was in the LTC forum. My

  17. Byetta

    markjrn replied to markjrn's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    If it's ok with her, please let us know how she does.

  18. Handling Admissions in Your Facility

    markjrn replied to donmomofnine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've worked in alot of facilities (when I was a traveler), and have never seen an admission nurse. So I guess it's safe to say that I am an admission nurse. :) In my mind, they should admit the...

  19. Interested in used nursing books

    markjrn replied to Goodyear's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, the DW is going to be listing some on ebay soon. Some are old med/surg books and some beginner and basic stuff, others are for specialties - dialysis, neonatal, etc. I don't know if I'll be...

  20. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    markjrn replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    "The Chip" is what you put in the glucometer so it is in synch with your teststrips. For example, you open a new box of teststrips that are #502 so you have to put the #502 chip in the glucometer....

  21. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    markjrn replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not good with confrontation either, so I know how you feel. On the other hand, my perimenopausal (sp?) wife makes up for it. :) I noticed that you're in MT. I used to live there. What part?...

  22. Nurse Not Doing Her Job

    markjrn replied to TreetopAngel_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't blame you for being concerned, medicating diabetics without numbers can be a sure way to kill them. I guess you could have brought up your concerns with the nurse in question. But you did...

  23. To tattle tale or not tattle tale... that is the question.

    markjrn replied to bluesky's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me that if this job is causing you to react in this way, then it's time to

  24. Athabasca info

    markjrn replied to markjrn's topic in International Nursing

    Oh, I see what you're saying. We're already licensed in the US and have spent 8 years down there. We're just heading back down for a while, maybe longer (who knows), but will likely return to Canada...

  25. Athabasca info
