    Patient is a sex offender with a tracker on his ankle

    Julius Seizure replied to Alex_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Lets put aside whether or not it was wrong for the nosy nurse to have googled the patient. Why on earth would the results of her google detective work have any place in the legal record of the...

    Julius Seizure replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like its a sucky deal for the one RN on nights who now has the responsibilities of 2

    Vanderbilt vs Georgetown Acute Care NP--How are things now?

    Julius Seizure replied to Katyvent7's topic in School, College Programs

    I went to Vanderbilt. It is a good school, although I can't speak to the ENP specialty specifically. It was 10 hours away for me, which was a killer after a while, but I liked the accelerated...

    Nurse tech working as RN

    Julius Seizure replied to esrun77's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, so I can't quite tell what the scenario at your facility is. It sounds like on night shift, there is "usually" two RNs, but sometimes they will staff with one RN and one aide instead. Is that...

    What does it mean to have "Lack of Good Moral Character"? when you're license is revoked

    Julius Seizure replied to SentinelTruth's topic in General Nursing

    Sticky thing about Michigan...I don't believe that it specifically has a "Nurse Practice

    IVDU pt kept asking for pain meds. Managment kept saying to just give it to her.

    Julius Seizure replied to ella2990's topic in General Nursing

    You appear to have gotten a lot of constructive criticism and good advise here in this thread. Hopefully it has contributed to your learning and will be able to grow as a nurse from this

    Why are some nurses so petty?

    Julius Seizure replied to bleafcna's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was about 30 seconds from posting a response that said, "I've noticed that where I work too - everyone is beautiful! I figured that it must just be Texas." Glad I saw your comment

    How can I increase my salary?

    Julius Seizure replied to SpiritReborn's topic in Canada

    In my experience, changing jobs can get you a salary bump sometimes. But you don't want to do it too often, or your work history will look like you are unreliable. However, once you are somewhere...

    Julius Seizure replied to tami2017's topic in Home Health

    Oh dear! Well maybe now we know why they have to recruit to find people to work for them....hmm. Well good luck - don't let them put your license at risk. Kids are great once you are used to...

    Is LVN licensure possible (or probable) for an unmedicated schizoaffective? (California)

    Julius Seizure replied to Seagull01's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Just to add to your consideration, LVNs and RNs are regulated by a state board of nursing, and they are not friendly to people with mental health issues - medicated, controlled, or otherwise. If you...

    pediatric HH, please help

    Julius Seizure replied to tami2017's topic in Home Health

    I don't mean this to be rude, but....then why did you accept the job? I'm just a little concerned because you seem to agree that you are likely to be unprepared for the job. If something bad...

    I need to vent please....

    Julius Seizure replied to Justwanttonurse's topic in General Nursing

    If you are down to dollars in your bank account, then I would recommend getting a job somewhere, even if its as a barista or a grocery store employee now, while you search for a nursing job. You...

    Memory on the job

    Julius Seizure replied to RugerNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes this takes time! There is so much information - it takes a while for your brain to get used to prioritizing the most important parts and filtering out the background noise. After getting some...

    How to eat during clinicals

    Julius Seizure replied to sarahamelia's topic in General Students

    I think it gets counteracted by the ever-present donuts and junk food in the break
  16. Julius Seizure

    Are you required to do nights when you do your practicum?

    Julius Seizure replied to sarahamelia's topic in General Students

    When I went to nursing school, most of our clinicals were during the daytime. You didn't get to pick where, because you had to go where the school had a clinical agreement. We had clinicals in a...

    Personal leave of absence?

    Julius Seizure replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    This is accurate. FMLA will not help you, because you will have already used it. You could try applying for short-term disability, but usually they will say you have to exhaust your FMLA first...and...

    How to deal with a bully patient?

    Julius Seizure replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    We had a patient once in the ICU whose parent was a surgeon (different specialty). He acted so entitled...and they just let him. He would demand to know what the consulted physicians said - sorry, I...

    If you became CRNA for the money did you end up......

    Julius Seizure replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I assume you are referring to the anecdote I told about my friend. The money wasn't the source of her depression - in fact, her entire schooling was paid for by her company. She was miserable because...

    Which field of nursing is the most technically hard?

    Julius Seizure replied to Guest878640's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is what you must have meant, OP. There are certifications like ACLS that are required in several fields of nursing. And different places will differ in the requirements - for instance,...

    Did I harm the patient??

    Julius Seizure replied to RN3468's topic in General Nursing

    I've always wondered about this...because its not supposed to be particularly painful, according to the youtube videos of them demonstrating it on healthy awake

    When will everyone understand things are different in the ER

    Julius Seizure replied to ClayH's topic in Emergency

    I think that many people (ER, ICU, and floor), seem to have frustration over the kinks in the system, which is totally fair. Hopefully most of us don't turn that frustration into thinking our fellow...

    When will everyone understand things are different in the ER

    Julius Seizure replied to ClayH's topic in Emergency

    I don't know about other places, but in the unit I worked in, that was (sadly) sometimes an actual problem. If there wasn't already a bed in a room (for whatever reason), we couldn't just go get one...

    Julius Seizure replied to paramedic-RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A friend of mine went to CRNA school, mostly just for bigger opportunities/salary, not because of a burning love for anesthesia. Shes told me that she regrets doing it. By the end of the program,...
