    Can I be discriminated against for political beliefs?

    Orion81RN replied to helloego's topic in General Nursing

    What was the point of even posting this? For a debate? Not the place. Learn to shut your mouth on social media and be careful. Its easier than you think to be identified on here. I've seen it. Ive...

    Paperless med-surg

    Orion81RN replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with pp's. When you receive an order, what are you suppossed to do? Memorize it until you can enter it? No, we write them down. When lab calls with crital results, we dont just...

    Asking for assistance at work

    Orion81RN replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    A couple years ago, I started working for a post acute rehab center at the same time as another nurse. About a month in, they let her go, and I remember a few nurses talking one shift right after...

    I had to leave work in the middle of the shift.

    Orion81RN replied to Dawnmarie71's topic in General Nursing

    Last time I was threatened with being reported to the BON, I said adios! They clearly didn't respect nor value me. Are you saying that you legally signed the narcs out in the MAR, but not on the...

    scope of practice, the EKG/ECG?

    Orion81RN replied to wtpsych's topic in General Nursing

    In this situation, it seems to have been more than basic EKG interpretation. The NP wanted her to compare EKGs, where scope of practice becomes blurred. There were minor differences. That should be...

    Calling in for no sleep

    Orion81RN replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting to learn to think about my schedule ahead of time before accepting a shift. Sounds simple, but its easy to think, oh, I'll be fine, Ill be able to get sleep. My sleep just did a 180, and...

    Calling in for no sleep

    Orion81RN replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    Studies with drivers and response times have shown that while sleep deprived, we are functioning at a level similar to being under the influence of alcohol. The scariest part is we THINK we are...

    Quitting first LPN job in the first month?

    Orion81RN replied to Vak8811's topic in General Nursing

    Quitting first LPN job in the first month?

    Orion81RN replied to Vak8811's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not advocating borrowing meds, just stating a fact. With Nurse to patient ratios as ridiculously high as they are, the REASON the meds aren't being ordered in a timely manner is bc there is rarely...

    Orion81RN replied to just_jess0907's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Nurses who are on anxiety/depression meds?

    Orion81RN replied to Hooven20's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Ive taken Celexa and Xanax for 10 years. I have been very surprised to hear coworkers say they take meds too. More of us do than you would think. Anxiety greatly affects my career when I don't take my...

    Nursing is a Small World

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, and I basically told an old ADON to shove it before quitting (not literally.) I let them know I was quitting due to poor management. Fast forward a year, I go to interview for a position...Guess...

    Orion81RN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yes indeed. I'm convinced I had a job offer in the bag, as we were duscussing pay and benefits on a 3rd interview/meeting at a job I was SUPER excited about. Then....one of the interviewers asked if I...

    Dumb question...How do you clean up poop?

    Orion81RN replied to NEMurse95's topic in General Nursing

    Not a dumb question at all. With 10 years combined CNA and nursing experience, I recently had my 1st patient with a j-tube who's diaper I had to change. So when I changed her diaper for the 1st time...

    Student loan repayment programs

    Orion81RN replied to ndRNCA's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how that is any of our business. Ive had only 9k of debt for 13 years. And its nobody's business as to why I couldn't pay a pretty low debt over the course of 13
