    Urgent question

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    They say healthcare is broken. LTC isn't just broken, it's a complete disaster and fails both the patient and those who try their best to provide good

    "You made a mistake."

    CharleeFoxtrot posted a topic in General Nursing

    "You made a mistake." whispered my friend and co worker. I wondered what that could have been. She whispered "the gabapentin, you made an error". I mentally went over the list of medications for this...

    Fear-mongering in nursing school?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to nursiee's topic in General Students

    Just so. The tales of "one time this nurse did (insert med error causing a sentinel event)" shouldn't be meant to frighten, only highlight the need for vigilance. Once upon a time Charleefoxtrot was a...

    Sexual harrassment or just an old creep?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to CBlover's topic in General Nursing

    Nods. Or when says "Hello beautiful" I'd reply with something referencing my spouse as in "Oh thank you but even when MY LOVING LAWFULLY WEDDED HUSBAND says that I get a little uncomfy." and then go...

    Health insurance that restricts employees from receiving care outside of employer owned ho

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to floatRN's topic in General Nursing

    I always ask as well, and like you health insurance issues caused me to leave my last job. They went to a plan like the one the OP posted, I would have lost all my specialists, PCP I've had for a...

    about to fail nursing clinical

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to nursinggirligirl's topic in General Students

    Look, you've invested a lot of time, heart and money into getting this far. As someone else posted, my advise is to "roll with this". Meet the instructor as planned, be attentive to the rationale...

    I don't like my unit, what should I do?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to HKRN18's topic in Nursing Career

    Perfect, especially noting there is a honeymoon phase in this career. At two months in my first job as a new nurse I couldn't remember how to get to the parking lot from the unit much less where I...

    Starting in Hospice/Home Care?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to CJisRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    My two cents. IME, Hospice/home care requires a nurse to have skills that college doesn't teach you. It requires excellent assessment skills, having bedside skills/tasks like wound care and foley...

    I just need to vent

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to LPN shots's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seems that way, I'll bet the DON is afraid of an accusation being leveled at her. That way of dealing with things will work really well once this "troubled" CNA figures out that one anonymous call to...

    I want to be a nurse but im not good at math

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to wizardwendy's topic in General Nursing

    Can't like that post enough. Does your school offer tutoring or other help? I'd bet there is some sort of program in place to help students who need some extra attention. Even if you choose another...

    Paramedic to RN bridge program.

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to NYCNative21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's the way I got my RN, I was a paramedic first. It did take a lot longer that way but I didn't start out wanting to be a nurse. I was happy as a medic. But the idea to bridge to RN evolved from...

    Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    As an exercise in thought, substitute out the profession of "nurse" and ask the question again: It should be a resounding "NO". It's the ultimate hubris to suggest that a nurse, a...

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, don't worry that aspect. Plenty of folks have mutiple careers. My RN is my third "career", and I didn't get licensed until I was a ways past 40
