Sure sounds spooky, but is it really? I've heard all kinds of stuff, mostly that you pass meds, and a guard is at your side throughout- but some places have armed guards, some don't? I've also never heard of a prison nurse being attacked/killed/etc.,...

Not legal advice. A summary of what I have found, is all: In theory, it means you no longer have a conviction. It's meant to help people clear their past, start afresh. If your application asks if you've been arrested or convicted of a crime, in theo...

SNF. RN supervisor summoned (overhead, at about 0300) me to one of her rooms. She was attempting to insert an NG tube in an alert man, about 40, alcoholic, with varices. Told me she felt a 'blockage'. She was holding the tube as though it were a fork...

My case is misdemeanor DUI. No action against my nursing license after the BON investigated- meaning it's clear, as is my DL. It's not a barred offense from the OIG/CMS standpoint. If I applied and you saw this, would you dismiss my aplication? Consi...

RN or LPN City or State $ per visit $ per other $ to be on call mileage Y/N other comments? Thanks

Are most of the patients classified as disabled, and therefore on Medicare? Do they use an MDS to determine reimbursement? Thanks

Mine was a C-section, in the Army. Wsn't in nursing school, and at the time didn't know I would be 'ordered' into later by the Army? Slice, slice, slice- hand in, out comes a baby, in like a minute? The woman was awake, and little did I know what 'ep...

3-11 shift 22 beds, census 21 Start report 3:05 patient falls, bleeds, 911. IR, transfer paper, copies of chart, etc. 3:10 patient left alone on toilet by 7-3 falls, hits head, 911. IR, transfer paper, copies of chart, etc. 7-3 not only took no respo...

From all I read, none provide benefits. With ACA, and 50+ employees, businesses will have to provide coverage or pay the fine. Any talk of what they all plan to do? Pay the fine? Offer coverage that is simply not affordable, in efect- not provide cov...

Any insight on the weight given to them, versus a telephone reference? I can't locate my former bosses, but I have letters from several of them. I'd cringe to have anyone think, for a second, I'd present letters that were not genuine, factual, and et...

Is it because nursing is female dominated* ? *Female dominated field would also mean that nurses have a lot of coping issues- single mothers, child care, financial pressures, etc. Is it an anger issue- do people with anger issues gravitate towards b...

RN drank a bottle of codeine at night, passed out. I called 911. RN emptied a vila of MS (RED), replaced it with NS (CLEAR). I sent it to be tested. LPN wrote oders for oxcodone, over the course of a year. Made sure to be there to receive from pharm...

DISCLAIMER: Only partly intended as sarcastic dark humor! Reading about all the petty, tyrannical, nasty and miserable LTC types (management or vanilla staff) that 'live' to treat others badly, gave me an idea. It will save you countless hours, give ...

Or other personally identifiable information? I'm leery. Anway- if they are looking for history and education, can't my name and specifcs come afer they have shown some interest? Also- beware those fillable online resume templates- they are up to som...

During Army Reserve weekend warrior days we went to the children's hospital burn unit. It was a regional center. One lady 'Lois', fell asleep smoking on her wedding night (her new husband burned to death). Burns over 90% of her body. Finger tips and ...

You have anger issues, you have control issues, and you have just ... issues. Your posts speak for themselves.

Fan on= better than s*x?/////

Nasty. I am so far only the second (known) advocate for CNAs, that are treated like hell. If others might consider a pause in their 'holier than thouness'? I ask you: what is the real reason that aides rebel? Same as the slaves. Sad. There's a reason...

When the vent comes off- is that patient now going to get OOB, walk around, be independent with ADLs, or be able improve with them, maybe with skilled therapy? Is the trach itself permament? What is the total picture? Was the trach/vent a temporary t...

Do I understand you correctly?: Dingbat day nurse always arrives a half hour late. Then she has to do her make up. By then, I've missed the window to get on the road before rush hour, which adds another 30 minutes to my drive, when I'm already about ...

You don't really sleep when you work nights, you pass out as someone said. It's never a refreshing sleep. You always crave sleep- is justnever goes away, that tearning to sleep. Ever think of cutting back to 4 days? Maybe you can get 3 days off in a...

You started out c/o that you have no life. You ended by saying you don't need a life. And with depression, if you are on meds, nights will make you ill. Also, you won't be sleeping with your husband. It sounds alluring- to have the daytime off, but n...

Check my new post in this section, about 'writing people up'. You'll get a laugh, at the same time being aware of the seriousness of what you have posted, in here.

I am blown away by so many people that have no problem at all with the continued loss of privacy. The thing is= you have 'no' idea, NONE, what may happen in thre future due to anyone having your medical record. Being ashamed is 'not even' relevant to...
