So, first let's take a moment to clarify your claim of being an RN. Just because you change your username does not cancel out your previous posts. Just in 2012 you were struggling to pass the TEAS test in order to enter LPN school. You failed that at...

Yes, you can use the quote back on the mobile website-I'm doing now and always have...

Maybe you wouldn't be so worried if you had truly worked hard and studied for your grades rather than, in your own words, "begged for sympathy points" from your professors. Can't wait to see your posts when NCLEX time nears!

OP I'm sorry for what you are going through. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Ever heard of compassion? OP is experiencing something extremely devastating right now. Also why criticize her for presenting the facts of the story. She didn't call him a name or anything. She simply stated a fact. No need to jump down her throat.

Blaming the victim is a terrible terrible thing. Her father did not cause it. He was enjoying a walk. Even if the kid felt threatened-that is no justification for him to punch an elderly man. And no he might not have known he was a cancer patient but...

Exactly!!

It seems as though you were looking for better/more creative ways to document her refusal rather than explore how to actually help her as evidenced by whose comment you liked. Maybe you should actually take the others' comments into consideration in...

You need to spend some time in an ER and then come back and post. The patients that are being vented about are usually in the large part of the ER population that do NOT pay for their ER services.

Please tell me this doctor is not practicing anymore. How horrible!

Could not agree more! Well said.

She stated she is a CNA and secretary not a nurse therefore my guess is she paid the same for both positions. In that case, no they aren't paying a nurse for secretarial work and the employer cannot claim that.

How terrible! You should definitely fight all this unfairness!

Exactly! I seriously thought maybe I had gone crazy because of my thoughts as everyone seemed to support and agree with OP. Glad to see someone agreed with my thoughts exactly!

I use a sterile dropper to suck up the urine and then add one drop to each square on the multistix. And when theres only a little bit from say a pediatric cath specimen I use a syringe and needle to draw up just a teeny amount which is usually plenty...

I'm sorry you got fired however, I do see this a little differently. You state quite a few times that the resident has dementia and "doesn't even know what meal she's going to or what time of day it is". Then my question would be first of all is she ...

And thank you for you concern but my children know that I have faith in them and I believe my parenting is just fine.

It's not my children's competencies that I'm worried about. I do not doubt that they would do just fine getting themselves up and ready. My concern lies in the idea of them being alone for an hour. This world has turned into a scary, scary place. Eve...

What a terrible environment you have to work in! So sorry that you have to deal with someone like that!

In the pediatric ER I work at we do have many different types of O2 probes based on weight much like the previous posters' link. However, we never really use them by weight. I usually use the neonatal or infant probe on everyone, newborn to teenager,...

This sounds pretty childish to me and makes me wonder if you really belong in nursing. All you are concerned about is if you will get in trouble?? What you both did was extremely wrong. Did you ever bother to question if the resident that may have go...

I'm not exactly sure but I believe in a known diabetic the ketones in the urine are more important to pay attention to over the glucose in the UA.
