    Nurse looked at my Facebook-HIPAA violation ?

    Irish_Mist replied to PlainB's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Staff splitting came to my mind as well, Ruby Vee. In addition to proclaiming he was the only nurse who did his job and did it well, it makes me wonder what this nurse in question did or didn't do to...

    You don't need RN experience to get an NP job

    Irish_Mist replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This entire thread is inflammatory and condescending. You came her for an argument and you got one. I sincerely hope you are very supervised in your practice because if your behavior on here is any...

    Driving While Elderly

    Irish_Mist replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    The main issue with driving and seniors is that driving is viewed as part of their independence. That's understandable. The other issue is that people fail to realize that driving is a privilege, not...

    Pain scale

    Irish_Mist replied to nurseequestrian's topic in General Nursing

    Mavrick, I just LOVE reading your posts. You are definitely one of my most favorite posters on All Nurses. I agree with you 1,000%. Critical thinking is taught in nursing school ad nauseum but how...

    Pain scale

    Irish_Mist replied to nurseequestrian's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I hate the pain scale with a passion. Half the time, patients will say 9 or 10 and it factors in with unrealistic expectations of having no pain despite having a painful acute condition or...

    This is one of the funniest threads I've ever seen on this

    past medication error help

    Irish_Mist replied to nurse3847's topic in General Nursing

    Forget contacting an attorney or turning yourself in. Take a deep breath. Do you honestly think you are the only nurse in the history of nursing to have made a med error? You are HUMAN. So you didn't...

    Trouble for taking Doctors candy

    Irish_Mist replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    They wanted to fire you over what sounds like a huge misunderstanding over CANDY? Man, I'd be leaving that place fast. What a bunch of

    What are some of the "easier" NP programs to get accepted to?

    Irish_Mist replied to brinksta's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    And these slackers you speak of will potentially be prescribing medications and making important clinical decisions about patients. Scary and

    Considering going back to telly

    Irish_Mist replied to nugspugsanddrugs's topic in MICU, SICU

    I am so sorry. That is such a mean spirited and ugly way to behave toward a colleague not to mention another human being. If your assistant nurse manager behaves like that, I definitely don't fault...

    Want a puppy, but live alone/working days

    Irish_Mist replied to aubsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Do not get an Australian Shepherd if you don't have the time or means to exercise this dog. They are working breeds and they need plenty of space and activities to be happy. Unless you can find some...

    THIS. THIS.

    No Respect.

    Irish_Mist replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    That's disgusting. A hospital is the LAST place I'd want to bring a baby much less allow one to crawl on the floor.

    Am I a better paper-pusher than floor nurse?

    Irish_Mist replied to PaperPushingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that your assignment was very unreasonable and unrealistic. Surely they could have split the isolation rooms up better than that? In my opinion, you were set up to fail. I'm sure if you had a...

    abandonment

    Irish_Mist replied to guest1055037's topic in General Nursing

    They CANNOT report you to the board of nursing. Well, they can but the Ohio BON will laugh at them. She did that to scare you into accepting an unsafe assignment and keeping your mouth shut. You did...

    What is harder- nursing school or first year working?

    Irish_Mist replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely working. No freaking doubt about it. Just a hair shy of one year in.

    RVN: Registered Veterinary Nurse, what do you think?

    Irish_Mist replied to AllisonLeighLVT's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. Vet Techs that actually have a degree and clinical training are worth their weight in gold. I couldn't do what they do and I really see no issue in them being referred to as...

    No Respect.

    Irish_Mist replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Of course my comment was not about you. I might be a new nurse but I am still a nurse, nonetheless. I am just a year in as a RN and I worked extremely hard to get to that point. I may not have as much...

    No Respect.

    Irish_Mist replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    She's not even a nurse yet. She's a student. I'm all for nursing students contributing to all nurses but some of the comments rub me the wrong way at times. Until one has gone to nursing school, taken...

    Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    Irish_Mist replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    This nurse walked off the floor AFTER accepting report on her patients and never returned? Pretty sure that's abandonment and the BON should be notified ASAP. As far as pumping is concerned, when I...

    No Respect.

    Irish_Mist replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    THANK YOU! I am not sure why there is such a disconnect with the request for water and CardiacDork's desire to actually assess the patient FIRST. If this patient came from cath lab to ICU, then...

    Cannot seem to pass skilled portion of BLS

    Irish_Mist replied to thatgirl37's topic in General Students

    It would be foolish to say nursing is not for you based on this situation! Having said that, your instructor is an idiot. It sounds like he/she takes himself/herself way too seriously. Retake the BLS...

    Not sure how to deal with this future classmate...

    Irish_Mist replied to tulipsupontulips's topic in General Students

    It sounds like this guy is trying to flirt with you. At this point, it sounds harmless. If you don't respond to his texts, he will probably stop bothering you. If he starts threatening you or...

    What Else Can I Do For A Living?

    Irish_Mist replied to RNCM123's topic in Nursing Career

    You could work for an insurance company doing audits, telephone triage, etc. You could work for an attorney, particularly one who does medical malpractice. You sound so beaten down and burnt out. I...
