  1. A Changed Heart

    nurseclm replied to jaelpn's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe counseling would help you. Maybe you are depressed. I think you are too young to be disgusted with yourself. Put a smile on your face, get out there and show whomever that you care! If I take...

  2. Saudi Arabia - Good Idea or Not

    nurseclm replied to 43RN20's topic in General World

    Not a chance in hell! Cannot have Bible or any religious articles. Women also cannot drive! Just yesterday they were given the right to vote but still cannot be elected to an office. Good money but it...

  3. Lies of the ER.....

    nurseclm replied to Cari Turner21's topic in Nursing Humor

  4. Terms we will not admit to using

    nurseclm replied to gwenith's topic in Nursing Humor

    FLK was used to also describe strange looking faces. We often believed there was some medical diagnosis to explain this and often there was such a genetic explanation. But sometimes the parents...

  5. Need advice on how to respond to a manager after interview

    nurseclm replied to Nadz02RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Unfortunately you interviewed with a poor manager who did not even know how to interview you. A good manager would have found a room for just you two. Chalk it up, unfortunately, the world as it is...

  6. Terms we will not admit to using

    nurseclm replied to gwenith's topic in Nursing Humor

    One of the nurses wrote "Has ***** drainage." That was on a male patients chart. Correct is purulent. Also best I ever saw (or saddest) "Patient stopped breathing X 10 minutes. Tolerated well." Lord...

  7. Do you correct your professor?

    nurseclm replied to RN9742's topic in General Students

    I would speak with the instructor after class. Explain why and be as polite as possible. The instructor should take it from there. No one wants to be corrected before their

  9. Still on orientation but got another attractive offer

    nurseclm replied to SjoeRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Grass always looks greener on the other side. Stay for a year and you will know you will have a great record behind you with a boss you like. You may get to another place and even though you think you...

  10. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    nurseclm replied to kimbo9's topic in General Nursing

    If they are truly a GN, most State Boards of Nursing prevent GN's from being in charge. Regardless of setting if the Board prevents that then the hospital is breaching the nurse practice act of that...

  11. Can a hospital legally force you to get your bsn if you are an adn

    nurseclm replied to lv2brn's topic in General Nursing

    Hospital simply needs to make BSN minimum standard for an RN and if you don't have one or obtain one you don't meet the minimum standard so you won't be able to work for them. I worked at a hospital...

    nurseclm replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    It is illegal in most states to hold yourself out to be a nurse if you are not and LPN or RN, in fact, that means it is a crime!! Call the police. Call the employer first. It may look like it is...

    nurseclm replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am not sure what your area of expertise is, but I think you need some other folks to speak up for you. Never give up. Sad so many nurses are so mean to each

    nurseclm replied to fizz2Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    As usual another incident re: the care in our facilities today. Some nurses try but nursing used to be an art, a science, and a spirit. This seems to be gone. Professionally I would be looking for a...

  16. Wacko RN - Write Up vs. Direct Report

    nurseclm replied to antidote's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for 36 years and think the behavior of the nurse borders on criminal. By pulling out the endotrach tube she endangered the life of the patient. This incident should have been...
