    Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    Orion81RN replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I'd eat pasta, mac n cheese and ramen noodles every day to save for, at the very least, good tires. Too many people don't understand sacrifice, then end up broke and in debt from getting off...

    Turn Q2 and patient refuses

    Orion81RN replied to AnLe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think OP meant her employers are looking at pt satisfaction. And if the pt is stating she is being turned "like a bag of meat" without her permission, her employers will hear about it on the...

    Turn Q2 and patient refuses

    Orion81RN replied to AnLe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    "The patient had stated how previous shifts treated them like a bag of meat." This is key. While they have a right to refuse, it is our job to advocate for them the best we can. If you reassured the...

    Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    Orion81RN replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with everyone else's response in regard to your original post. It seems like you just have some growing up to do and lessons to learn. Some learn them later than others, especially when...

    How has nursing changed you?

    Orion81RN replied to thoughtful21's topic in General Nursing

    You think because someone is comatose that no offence can be done to that person??? Wow, there is nothing to say that can get through to that messed up logic. With that messed up logic, no harm is...

    Should nurses post on social media, HIPAA violation?

    Orion81RN replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    She stated that she changed the situation. She could have just as well been talking about church members

    Should nurses post on social media, HIPAA violation?

    Orion81RN replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    She absolutely did not say anything about vaccinations. As an aside, I rather enjoyed her video and shared it to my own

    Anyone had this problem?

    Orion81RN replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't even silence a fellow coworker's alarm, even if they are an RN like me. I am not that patient's nurse, plain and simple. So it isn't just about rank or education level. If she cvontinues...

    Am I smart enough to be a Nurse!

    Orion81RN replied to absorrow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a previous poster stated, if you scored average, you're intellectually "smart" enough. If your nursing program requires a higher score than you obtained, study up and retake it if allowed. I did...

    Would you say anything?

    Orion81RN replied to Ambersmom's topic in General Nursing

    Id personally feel uncomfortable saying something, BUT....I'd rather take the risk of them being offended and possibly helping them get something checked out that ends up being something NEEDED to get...

    Therapeutic Gossip

    Orion81RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I think one needs to go by the, Is it true, Is it relevant, is it necessary, and is it mean-spirited philosophy. Basically evaluate why you are saying something before you say

    Uhhhh, That's Kinda Personal

    Orion81RN replied to evastone's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, female patients think its ok to comment on my very very ample cleavage all the time. And I've gotten the "Is this your first" question a few times. Im like, the first time I've been mistaken for...

    Not every person who cannot ambulate more than a short distance requires care from an acute care setting. We wouldn't have enough hospitals if that were the case. People are discharged with home...

    Orion81RN replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

    THIS!!! Once you've made it clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are not interested, any further action on his part is harrassment. I would even tell him that you don't want him contacting you...

    Orion81RN replied to thatgirl37's topic in General Students

    That's pretty ridiculous of your instructor not to accomodate you or better instruct you. In real life code situations, you get that body as low to the ground as possible. And if thats not possible,...

    Those Who Have Left Nursing

    Orion81RN replied to harumi22's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Also, not everyone goes into a career for altruistic reasons. My husband is a sales manager for ATT, and he's more than important to not only his customers, but more importantly, to me. For...
