    Going bowling with a former pediatric patient who's moved on to the adult world

    Orion81RN replied to oneinfour's topic in General Nursing

    I've over stepped boundaries a few times, and it comes back to bite you. I had an MS pt my age in post acute rehab. She knew I was busy but still got her feelings hurt when I absolutely could not...

    Forced 24 hr shift

    The only person in the home is the patient's spouse who refuses to care for

    Alzheimers mention

    Orion81RN replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems many scientists and researchers disagree. I may have misinterpreted, but it seemed that bc the patent will be running out, that they basically didn't want to put all the money into research...

    What do you do during down time?

    Orion81RN replied to Orion81RN's topic in Private Duty

    I can't believe my initial post was almost 2 years ago! Well that case ended up being so very incredibly boring. The parents wouldn't even bring the child downstairs out of her room let alone take her...

    What do you do during down time?

    Orion81RN posted a topic in Private Duty

    One of my cases is a 10 y/o whom I'm there for 10 hours a day. Trach, GJ tube, stander. That's it other than changing diapers. Suctioning keeps me busy, but not 10 hours of busy. She has a condition...

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, ok. Lol. I'm going to give you a pass on my end. Because I will admit I like some drama every now and then on here. Yep, things have been kinda dull on here. I don't like drama in my real life,...

    How many people made it to the end of the program?

    Orion81RN replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Students

    It wouldn't let me edit, so here's my edited version: There were 80 seats to start in my ADN program. We lost many after the first class. That class was pretty much a CNA class where you were eligible...

    How many people made it to the end of the program?

    Orion81RN replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Students

    There were 80 seats to start in my ADN program. We lost many after the first class. Then held steady til the last class which was Acute care. I'm telling you, it's because people don't fully...

    Nursing Assistants

    Orion81RN replied to Bri1231's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in the hospital as a nursing assistant, aside from ADLs, we took vitals, drew labs, checked blood glucose and performed EKGs. We emptied Foleys, removed Foleys and removed IVs. Emptied...

    Nurses secretive about getting another job

    I'm sorry but I am literally laughing out loud at this. "No one would bat an eye..." Except you posting it on the internet ? I think Karen has the right

    Women's Right to Choose

    Orion81RN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you mean, but let's look at the actual quote. "Of course rape and incest should be exceptions to prohibition of AB's. Whoever doesn't see that is over the...

    Women's Right to Choose

    Orion81RN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    If one is arguing abortion is murder, one must stay consistent. If abortion is murder, (which it isn't, but anyway) then it's still murder if it's from rape/incest. So why the exception to...

    Women's Right to Choose

    Orion81RN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 37. Married, together 15 years. While I actually really do want a child, my husband and I would not be able to make it work with my mental get, my physical health nor my finances. I stopped taking...

    Women's Right to Choose

    Orion81RN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Of for *** sake, I'm not even reading past "you aren't doing the research..." because you clearly didn't read what I wrote. I said I'm not doing it FOR YOU. Take your sanctimonious bs elsewhere and...

    Nurse to Teacher

    Orion81RN replied to Ehlissa1's topic in General Nursing

    Eek. Teachers are leaving the profession in droves. They have their own version of our issues. My all time favorite teacher from high school just announced she is quitting after over 20 years of...

    Women's Right to Choose

    Orion81RN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to do the research for you. But, I will tell you that Planned Parenthood has saved lives by catching cancer that would have gone undiagnosed in uninsured women. So, yes. They are in fact...

    Women's Right to Choose

    Orion81RN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    You are not superior to ANYONE. I simply do not believe an embryo is a "human being." I do not choose to believe this. I just do. I couldn't change that belief if I wanted to. Bc it is a belief system...

    Women's Right to Choose

    Orion81RN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    It goes both ways. That's why this particular anecdote is meaningless as far as convincing anyone to change their minds. Millions of women have had abortions with their own tragic stories, and it was...

    Women's Right to Choose

    Orion81RN replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's your age, but I'm absolutely baffled as to how you can be so incredibly naive. Preaching abstinence CAUSES abortions. Are you really that out of touch?! Inadequate sex education and pure...

    Do you think I have a case? HIPAA

    Orion81RN replied to msoncnurse17's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm glad you seem to be in a much better place. This doesn't have to do with any HIPAA violation, and I can't recall where I heard it from, but it made me really think about what is posted online. It...
