  1. Will I get kicked out of nursing school?

    cyc0sys replied to Happymango's topic in General Students

    There are two kinds of nurses: 1. Those who have made med errors. 2. Those who will make med errors. If anyone tells you otherwise, they're a

  2. Today's grossest lunch award goes to...

    cyc0sys replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I grew up poor so processed meat products were a luxury items second only to home made deer bologna. My Grammy, who raised me, was from the depression era so she often got creative with my lunches. I...

  3. Suboxone

    cyc0sys replied to Maybe123456's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The meds you purchase, through your company insurance health benefits, cannot be disclosed to anyone other than the provider or someone you release the information to. It would be a violation of HIPAA...

  6. Suboxone

    cyc0sys replied to Maybe123456's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Check the Nurse Practice Act in your state before proceeding any further. Most Peer Assistance Program are 'cold turkey' but I don't know your situation and have never been in it myself. I know that...

  7. Denied entracne into ASN program...story with questions

    cyc0sys replied to bullery1986's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I feel your pain OP. I was denied acceptance into an ASN program for a vandalism charge that was 25 years old. Despite the fact that I'm a combat veteran, held a TS clearance, previously worked at the...

  8. Confused

    cyc0sys replied to jenal77's topic in Emergency

    Sounds like you just took the first job they offered without considering whether it's something you really wanted to do. "My preceptor was never with me, always sat at the nurses station and if I...

  9. Ever experience violence at work???

    cyc0sys replied to aoguagha's topic in General Nursing

    I believe most people are reactive, instead of proactive, when a violence situation occurs. Then it's only a matter of time before things escalate. I'd recommend taking a self defense course based on...

  10. Nasty ....

    cyc0sys replied to DiplomaNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    The mouth is the first front line barrier against disease without a doubt. The foot is what gets you from A to B. I learned this long before nursing. I'll sacrifice my time to provide this care in the...

  11. Irony regarding cellphone use at work

    cyc0sys replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have the exact opposite problem. My DON and UM both call and text about stuff that is work related since they are too cheap to pay for staff email accounts. Only a few doctors will answer phone...

  12. Palliative Care + Hospice = A+

    cyc0sys replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for writing this article. It helped shed some light on a situation which I'm still trying to process. Recently, I experienced a situation that I'm not completely comfortable with regarding End...

  13. I got fired while being on orientation at a hospital for just 1 week. Why did this happen?

    cyc0sys replied to Strugaaa4eva's topic in General Nursing

    They canned you for no call, no show because you blew off the last 1/2 hr of class which contained the clinical report time/date. Sound like you didn't win any hearts and minds with the instructor or...

  14. Charting as a Nursing Student/Graduate Nurse

    cyc0sys replied to ITNurse1977's topic in General Students

    I feel like this should be a paid questionnaire. But since I was an IT guy in my previous career I'm stupid, I'll play. In school we used LippincotDocucare which is a total POS. One of the hospital...

  15. How do you feel about being a nurse?

    cyc0sys replied to Grier's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is the most thankless, demanding, overworked and underpaid vocation I've ever had. But it's one of the only jobs you can truly make a difference for someone who is having the worst or best...

  16. I want to quit first RN job after a few weeks.

    cyc0sys replied to newgradrn2016's topic in General Nursing

    @Angry LPN, I think you won the internet. This should be required

  17. Being Managed By Someone Younger

    cyc0sys replied to Apple-Core's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The question is a bit ironic for me as I left my second career as a project manager partly because I was done with managing employees. This is my third career and I'm completely new to nursing....

  18. To tell or not to tell?

    cyc0sys replied to nursingRN123's topic in General Students

    Justice means minding one's own business and not meddling with other men's concerns. ~

  19. Any perspective from other Military Vets

    cyc0sys replied to ScreamingEagle's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Buy the coloring books, cruise the net for mneumonics and games for A&P. Pick up a book on medical terminology if you get a chance. Also check out quizlet, it will be your new best friend once you...

  20. Public Urination! License Renew

    cyc0sys replied to male_murse's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    This just sounds like a hot mess of bad life decisions. Time to put the brakes, do some self reflections, and life prioritization. I know this is an anonymous forum but I'd keep the legal details of...

  21. Any perspective from other Military Vets

    cyc0sys replied to ScreamingEagle's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm a Vet. I was a Airborne Sapper and later worked Intel before I separated. I've had several careers since and only recently finished nursing school. Nursing school was probably one of the toughest...

  22. Regret becoming a nurse....

    cyc0sys replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand how you feel. Although I'm at a different end of the spectrum, I do feel like it's Front Line Infantry of some Human Health Care Factory Farm. The only thing nursing school...

  23. Hating Hospital work. What next?

    cyc0sys replied to MJPN2012's topic in General Nursing

    Try Long Term Care/ Rehab. You may be able to transition into a Risk Manager, Training Coordinator, or an MDS position doing chart review. You may also end up running back to the hospital before it's...

  24. Holding "Ordered Meds"..... What are the rules?

    cyc0sys replied to jk2185's topic in Patient Medications

    Drug parameters are something I struggle with at work. Some of the parameters seem vague or lacking in proper definition. For example, my manager ******* me out for holding Xanax and not notifying the...

  25. Patient education in subacute/snf

    cyc0sys replied to canter1221's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Govt regs and oversight is what got us into this health care debacle, I seriously doubt if it will get us
