    Yes, but they also frown on anything that may cause a lawsuit-such as lateral violence like

    Misconduct

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Abbycat's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, was there no second check on the MAR? When I worked briefly in SNF that had paper, a second nurse had to look over each MAR at changeover and compare

    Abandonment?

    Doctors vs NP's?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree but the real world gets in the way sometimes. I work as an RN care manager in a large internal medicine practice, our cohort is predominantly lower income medicare/caid. My providers...

    What's the shortest time you stayed at a job and why did you leave?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Three days, I was just out of school and a much better offer came through. Felt bad, I got along great with the folks there but just couldn't pass the other offer

    Cadaver Labs at Disney Resorts!

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Nursing News

    Shrug. Every year paramedics and ED personnel in the county I used to work in had a cadaver lab that was held in the main conference room of the hospital. Same place the CEOs would meet and other...

    How My Orientation is Going

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    When we are new to the profession, we tend to forget this very basic fact. To the OP, enjoy the slower quiet pace and use this time to hone your

    RVN: Registered Veterinary Nurse, what do you think?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to AllisonLeighLVT's topic in General Nursing

    But neither does "nurse", given the descriptions posted here. Before I was an RN, I was a paramedic and trained in a lot of advanced techniques. Never once did I think of myself as a "mobile nurse"...

    abandonment

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to guest1055037's topic in General Nursing

    The OP might also want to report that situation to the appropriate State regulatory agency as it was an unsafe situation for the poor unfortunate residents of that facility. Might just get that DON...

    Could Not Make It Through The Orientation Of My First Job

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to frenchxtoast's topic in General Nursing

    In my experience, the LTAC is not a slower environment at all as far as learning the ropes and has a far higher patient load with fairly high acuity once you are cut loose on your

    Help! Was job offered at a great hospital as a CNA, so should I postpone nursing school?

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Ptntcrgvr's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    RN School, no question. The way I have answered similar questions when my co-workers CNAs asked is simple. Figure out how much you make as a CNA against how much you will make as an RN. Take that...

    What do you think of this....

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Oumun's topic in General Nursing

    That's a very "soft" approach to discipline for a medication error. It's really refreshing and unusual in an age of Management By Bludgeoning©. You made a medication error. Just because everyone...

    Rn to paramedic in florida

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to Guest957596's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes. Having been all three, RN ≠NREMT-B ≠NREMT-P. Challenging an individual State's test ≠NREMT qualified (one HUGE exception to that blanket statement is I have seen former...

    Nursing School Needs Repair (And Why I Quit)

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

    In nursing, we tend to look for a common thread when we problem solve. The one thing the three nursing programs have in common is the OP. Other have come to the same conclusion that perhaps the OP...

    A real nurse VS. a "fake" nurse

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to okredrobot's topic in General Nursing

    I am going to buck the trend here. As a "not real" nurse working in a non-çlinical job that takes all of my past experience and people skills to pull it off well my advice is to not take the job....

    Scheduling harassment

    CharleeFoxtrot replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    I also negotiated a "no nights, no weekends" schedule at the last place I worked, and didn't feel the least bit guilty about it. They wanted my skills so they met my requirements. That facility used...
