  1. Have you ever worked with someone who had such a nasty attitude that it was almost hostile

    ShaneTeam replied to 1Jessie86's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Can I get a love button for this??? And, OP, if you ACTUALLY felt this was bullying, you should have brought it up to the House Sup (I give you a guess what I would have

  2. Parents who can't/won't pick up kids

    ShaneTeam replied to mc3's topic in School

    I, too, am not a school nurse. However, reading the posts, I see nothing wrong. I could actually feel the OP's concern for the child coming through the vent. If she didn't care, I doubt this thread...

  3. Parents who can't/won't pick up kids

    ShaneTeam replied to mc3's topic in School

    But now I want to ride

  4. Really?!? That's what you think is important?

    ShaneTeam replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Umm CCM? I just happened to be looking through your profile, and noticed some alphabet behind your name that made me think of a hat I have had in my closet for years. Does this look

  5. Sending res to hospital- did I make the right call?

    ShaneTeam replied to suzw's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    We definitely need something stronger than "like" in some

  6. Am I Cut Out For This?

    ShaneTeam replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in Emergency

    Congrats on your decision! The wonderful part is you will see both specialties during clinicals. Keep your mind open, and you might even find another area you enjoy more. I envy you of where you are...

  7. Sending res to hospital- did I make the right call?

    ShaneTeam replied to suzw's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I disagree in part. What I was referring to is it wasn't the DON's call to make that this is an emergency or not, since she did not assess the resident. Having spent about 10 years as a DON, I do...

  8. Really?!? That's what you think is important?

    ShaneTeam replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Hi Cape, Sorry to hear you are going through that. Yes, you DO need consents for the immunization, even though in our state, admin can kick the resident out if they (or DPOA) don't sign the consent....

  9. Sending res to hospital- did I make the right call?

    ShaneTeam replied to suzw's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It was the right call. You were the nurse there, you assessed him, not the DON. I understand what she was talking about, but unless she laid eyes on the resident, it was not her call to

  10. Am I Cut Out For This?

    ShaneTeam replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in Emergency

    Hello, Are you going to be a RN or a

  11. What to expect as a new nurse in critical care (any tips)

    ShaneTeam replied to Cannary22's topic in Critical Care

    Hello. When I first started in MICU many years ago, you were with someone for 6 months. I don't know if this is still the case, but know that you will not be thrown to the wolves. Make sure to ask...

  12. Do you disclose AN to coworkers

    ShaneTeam replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I kinda get what she is talking about. I'm sorry you have had that type of experience, and I do realize you are talking from your experiences from where you have worked for many years. But as a...

  13. Confused!

    ShaneTeam replied to pct913's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear you feel that way. I'm wondering what type of support you expect from the RN's? Hopefully, you realize you are there to support them, right? That might be where some of the comments are...

  14. How in this world do you ever get 1 year experience?

    ShaneTeam replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Something else you might try is finding out if any of the local hospitals have a SNU, apply for it, then transfer to another floor after a

  15. 8 or 12 hour shifts

    ShaneTeam replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in General Nursing

    Have worked both, and am working 8's now, but really prefer

  16. Do you disclose AN to coworkers

    ShaneTeam replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    LOL. Oh, and it is against company policy to hand out likes not earned missy (at least in MY warped mind). It actually made me laugh, and made a difficult night that much better. Oh, and this would...

  17. Bouncing Back/Navigating SNF Politics

    ShaneTeam replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    OK, so I have a couple of questions. First, are STNA's nurse aides? Second, how many of the 90% are not

  18. Do you disclose AN to coworkers

    ShaneTeam replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I have told a couple about AN, but I really don't hide anywhere. I have always been blunt, and if they ask me the stuff that is asked here, I have no problem responding like I do here. I understand...

  19. Unsafe Staffing/Mandated Time

    ShaneTeam replied to RATMLPN's topic in General Nursing

    OK. I think I get a couple of things now. Let me start by saying I don't know anything about MA regs, but I do know Federal regs. Also, and I know I will be flamed for this, most if not all states...

  20. Unsafe Staffing/Mandated Time

    ShaneTeam replied to RATMLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Ratm, I now have some questions. The week before, when you were paid T 1/2, that was a double, which left you under 40 hrs (I am assuming these are 8 Hr shifts)? Was the change in management between...

  21. Tattoos and Nursing

    ShaneTeam replied to Yadisanchez's topic in General Nursing

    Far? You do realize you just made a good argument for the other point of

  22. Unsafe Staffing/Mandated Time

    ShaneTeam replied to RATMLPN's topic in General Nursing

    No, no, no. BAD employer! I assume you are paid hourly (since it sounds like you are not in management), which means they are required to pay for all time worked. Regrettably, they can write you up...

  23. Dealing with a burnt out seasoned nurse

    ShaneTeam replied to Mkl92's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed.

  24. Oh, you quirky night shifter you!

    ShaneTeam replied to dannibeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. I had to do that,

  25. Anyone else have a second job?

    ShaneTeam replied to pediRNjen's topic in General Nursing

    I have a second job with a hospital. I work 2 12's on the weekend, and get paid for 36. It means 5 12's per week, but what can I say, I am a glutton for
