    RegisteredNuisance posted a topic in General Specialties

    Wisdom Teeth Removal

    RegisteredNuisance replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had mine out when I was about 25 or 26. They were all growing in at a severe angle and it was causing me a decent bit of pain in my lower jaw. As with all testimonies, I preface mine by saying your...

    Former Med Surg RN to LTC

    RegisteredNuisance replied to RegisteredNuisance's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    favthing, as well as the other commenters: thanks for the feedback. The one thing that will keep me from doing well in this new position is self doubt and feeling overwhelmed and out of control (of...

    Former Med Surg RN to LTC

    RegisteredNuisance posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hi all, a question for you. I'm an RN with about a year and a half med surg experience, 3 years home health (as a caregiver) and a few years each in wellness coaching and assisted living. I received a...

    Former Med Surg RN to LTC

    RegisteredNuisance replied to RegisteredNuisance's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Also, the CNAs that just got hired were told they were critically needed by the DON and I agree. When I worked on the floors my CNAs were the only thing keeping me from being buried in work and I've...

    Former Med Surg RN to LTC

    RegisteredNuisance replied to RegisteredNuisance's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Of course you can. I didn't leave M/S and go straight to LTC. I'm returning after a break of about two years. This seems like a lot, but I had to take some time off after a rough couple of years. Upon...

    Please Help, I'm new & made a huge med error, I'm devastated.

    RegisteredNuisance replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    +1 there. While that's kind of what it is, you can look at it as the "OK" for you to utilize to allow yourself to slow down and really get the five rights down. Really however you look at it, best to...

    WHAT TO DO...Nurse is refusing to give PRN medication

    RegisteredNuisance replied to purplenurse1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Another agreement for the scheduled vs PRN option here. Pain, nausea and other symptoms are NEVER the nurse's prerogative to judge. If the patient says they're in pain/nauseous, we have to assume they...

    RegisteredNuisance replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I will NEVER complain about snow in Flagstaff again! I live 10 miles out of town which is 13 miles from my house but my neighborhood is county, not city. We still get the plows and gravel out and...

    Please Help, I'm new & made a huge med error, I'm devastated.

    RegisteredNuisance replied to MasonDixieChic's topic in Patient Medications

    This is one of the reasons there has been so much talk and effort to make nurses more willing to report mistakes and med errors. Your charge nurse should have responded more calmly. My first question...

    The sloppy image of nurses today

    RegisteredNuisance replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Reading these kinds of posts really is an interesting human personality study. I personally can't relate to OP's opinion at all. Also, the language and sentence structure have the tone of someone...
