    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    OrganizedChaos replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    So you can't multitask now? In all of the "10 seconds" (which I'm sure took longer) you couldn't wrap it yourself? I'm not arguing which one is more important. You were already there, why track down...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    OrganizedChaos replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not gonna reiterate how threatening blocking the CNA in was. As far as wrapping the IV, I would've just done it. I'm willing to bet it took you more than 10 seconds. In that amount of time you...

    Rasmussen University, Here I come!

    OrganizedChaos replied to BlueBoxSearcher's topic in School, College Programs

    It is not worth it to take on that much debt. Think long term, how long will it take you to pay off that big of a loan? What is the pay for a new grad nurse in your area? Do the math. I wouldn't want...

    NEED HELP! PLEASE

    OrganizedChaos replied to nurse2bmom67's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Please change your screen name since you are not a nurse. It seems the only thing you can do is start over. The pre reqs *might* transfer (you have a slim chance at that) but the nursing courses...

    The Adkins Academy

    OrganizedChaos replied to Abishop0811's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I was looking into the Adkins Academy but for $1,000?! No thank you! I'll have my mom tutor me in the sciences & my MIL tutor me in math. I can't imagine spending

    Big Trouble

    OrganizedChaos replied to Bentlysnurse's topic in MICU, SICU

    Exactly! It happened to *the OP* 5 (FIVE) separate times!!! No one else, just the OP, & the OP has *no idea* how it happened. What??? I only worked with a Pyxis during nursing school but I know...

    Inappropriate nurses?

    OrganizedChaos replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If she can't get along with coworkers then I doubt she will be able to get along with family members. If she can't do that she will be quickly out of a job because family rules in PDN & the family...

    Inappropriate nurses?

    OrganizedChaos replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As SmilingBluEyes said all the OP had to do was tell her coworker that she didn't feel comfortable talking while she was pouring meds & talk to him after but *she didn't*! She snapped at her...

    Big Trouble

    OrganizedChaos replied to Bentlysnurse's topic in MICU, SICU

    I agree. In the OP & her follow up post she never once takes the blame. She places the blame on her preceptor/manager/whoever. They didn't teach her to make the mistake nor were they they when she...

    Big Trouble

    OrganizedChaos replied to Bentlysnurse's topic in MICU, SICU

    How was it scanned first, the Pyxis then said it was pulled & why is it the same medication??? I've never worked in a hospital or with a Pyxis but something feels off/left

    Inappropriate nurses?

    OrganizedChaos replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What the what??? It's none of the OP's business????? It actually *is* the coworker's business. The coworker needs to know how many patients the OP has & if she or anyone else is getting...

    Are you happy being an LPN?

    OrganizedChaos replied to MelissaLPN2RN's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have been an LVN for 7 years & when my first son is in pre-k or kinder my second son will go to daycare & I will start applying to the bridge program in my town. I can't wait! I love being a...

    Inappropriate nurses?

    OrganizedChaos replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How do you know the OP is a young/new nurse? Obviously the OP has to be somewhat experienced to be a float nurse. I don't know of many brand new nurses, straight out of nursing school that are allowed...

    Inappropriate nurses?

    OrganizedChaos replied to hgraves64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She did everything necessary?! In what world?! It was necessary to snap at her coworker & then report him to every entity going up the chain of command???! I doubt the OP will see said coworker...

    Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

    OrganizedChaos replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    Who is being mean or belittling the OP? It is silly to make a thread on the internet & on a forum telling people you don't want a response. Then getting irritated when you get responses &...

    Nursing is not what it is made out to be..

    OrganizedChaos replied to ModernRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so confused. You say being a nurse "sucks" but "Np for the win!!!" What is the first word in NP? Isn't it nurse? So doesn't that make you a nurse? So you completely contradicted

    Pt assignment in trash

    OrganizedChaos replied to Mama Nurse 7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    But what the charge did/didn't do wasn't patient abandonment. Further more where did the OP state she found the piece of paper on the top? Also, when the OP confront her coworker on tossing papers...

    Pt assignment in trash

    OrganizedChaos replied to Mama Nurse 7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    A) Why were you looking in the trash? B) Why didn't you just shred it? C) Why didn't you confront the person to whom the paper belonged to (maybe it ended in the public trash by accident)? D) Why did...

    Pt assignment in trash

    OrganizedChaos replied to Mama Nurse 7's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with you. I didn't understand why the OP reported that nurse for patient abandonment in the first place. The charge nurse of the OP didn't walk off the job, the nurse was still on the clock...
