    Don't listen to the nurse

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So I was on Facebook & came across a question on a pregnancy board. It wasn't the question that had me confused & upset, as much as the replies. The OP asked if it was safe to put her twins in...

    Don't listen to the nurse

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I go to Yahoo Answers when I need a good laugh. I think once I read a question that said "Why don't they ever do a maternity test to see if they baby is the mother's?". I was hoping the person was...

    Recently terminated

    OrganizedChaos replied to beausilk74's topic in Patient Medications

    Yeah it's bs she was fired but there are cliques in every job. She can't sue then for that nor would she be able to prove it. Especially since she shouldn't have left the meds at the bedside (everyone...

    what age did you decide to become a nurse

    OrganizedChaos replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Nursing

    21 Didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life. I was a nursing major at a big university & I hated it (I came from a small school). So when I moved with my boyfriend at the time & was...

    Is it legal to have RN's use full name on badge?

    OrganizedChaos replied to nitrorocket's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I've worked in corrections. When I worked in the prison I went by my last name then when I worked in the jail I don't know why, I went by my first name. Those are some people who have nothing better...

    OrganizedChaos replied to beausilk74's topic in Patient Medications

    As others have stated, you can never leave the medications in the room with the patient. You have no way of truly knowing if the patient took his meds. It would have been one things to have handed the...

    Practical Nursing - salary raise?

    OrganizedChaos replied to sallyk's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My pay as an LVN ranged between $18-$22/hr. You need to find a different career because unless you plan to bridge (I made more than my best friend when she worked in a hospital as an RN) you won't...

    Home Health or Corrections

    OrganizedChaos replied to IndecisiveNurse's topic in Correctional

    I got use to it & learned to stick up for myself. Corrections is not for everyone, if you can't stand your ground then the inmates will take advantage of

    Hahah. Yeah. People can talk a big talk on the internet & I wasn't about to start a flame war with these people. I was just so shocked at what these people

    Home Health or Corrections

    OrganizedChaos replied to IndecisiveNurse's topic in Correctional

    I was young when I started (in my early twenties) & a lot of inmates hit on me. You have to be strong, stick up for yourself sometimes & not be afraid to go to rank if an inmate really steps...

    Home Health or Corrections

    OrganizedChaos replied to IndecisiveNurse's topic in Correctional

    I have worked in corrections. I love it! You have so much autonomy & never know what will happen. I never wanted to do home health just because I didn't like driving

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    OrganizedChaos replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I know if this was my child I would have to come to terms with this & just let him go. I couldn't keep his body hooked up to machines for my selfish reasons. Not to mention she has other children...

    Rejected..No Facebook?!!

    OrganizedChaos replied to cosmos2007's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    That's ridiculous! I have a Facebook but I keep it very private. People have tried to search to add & can't find me. I have never added my boss & never would. But at this point all people see...

    I applied & got Medicaid for pregnant women. I don't know what I would've done without it. It was great, especially since I had to see a specialist for my

    pregnant and thinking about resignation

    OrganizedChaos replied to praise god's topic in General Nursing

    Can you afford to resign? Will you have health insurance? Why don't you talk to human resources & see what your best option is (& to make sure you can get your job back) before you just...

    OrganizedChaos replied to praise god's topic in General Nursing

    My boss was AMAZING & I told him what was going on. I was having issues & missing a lot of work. So I told him for me & my baby's health it would be best if I just resigned. If I wanted to...

    pregnant and thinking about resignation

    OrganizedChaos replied to praise god's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on your health issues & how bad it is. I know I resigned from my job in my first trimester. My morning sickness (ha, yeah right "morning") was so bad that I couldn't get out of bed some...

    OrganizedChaos replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    RN vs. PN exam

    OrganizedChaos replied to TheAverageMan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ugh. It really irritates me that people think LVN school or NCLEX is easier than RN. Does that mean our job is easier
