    Really bad fever blister. Should I call in?

    OrganizedChaos replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    She also called it a fever blister. There's multiple posts on how it's a regional term & nobody has heard it before, I hadn't heard of it before. Instead of using the clinical term, she used a...

    This is CRAZY

    OrganizedChaos replied to peachfuzz's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OP, I don't think it's you. I think your work wants to fire/lay off all of the experienced nurses & hire new grads. It's not a smart decision but they are probably doing it to save money. So that...

    Dog had emergency surgery last night.

    OrganizedChaos replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad to hear your doggy will make it. Don't be hard on yourself, you're only human. I hope your pup has a quick

    Forced Bath's is this taking away a patients rights?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Health-Nut's topic in General Nursing

    Don't come on here bashing people's profession. It's rude & uncalled for. Not every person has issues with aides as you do. Also, take note, that there might not have been a male CNA to be with...

    Desperate idea needed

    OrganizedChaos replied to millal's topic in General Nursing

    I think you will see that it's about the way it was asked. We get a LOT of request for homework assistance. It's one thing to ask but most of the people want the answers without doing any work. This...

    New Grad: How can I get experience if nobody will give me a chance?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I agree. Did the OP apply everywhere? My ex-best friend only applied to hospitals so it took her forever to land a job because she was limiting her options

    Help with my approach to a career in nursing

    OrganizedChaos replied to mgenerous's topic in Canada

    Typically takes. I still don't think it's a good idea to practice under anything but your highest

    Desperate idea needed

    OrganizedChaos replied to millal's topic in General Nursing

    So you were "searching" for ideas on a forum for your homework. Even though you clearly stated you needed help. This isn't Google & we won't help you for

    Asking nurse coworker out on a date on another floor

    OrganizedChaos replied to Sailed3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Same here. There was no PDA, ever. Especially since I worked with teens. I was never counseled or fired from the job I met my DH

    Giving up my dog

    OrganizedChaos replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yeah but those are not good qualities. If she can't handle stress, that's scary. Nursing is all about stress & knowing how to deal with it. You also can't make rash

    OrganizedChaos replied to mgenerous's topic in Canada

    Still seems dangerous to me. I wouldn't work under any license but my highest. It only takes one accident, one irritated patient, one horrible doctor, etc to ruin both

    WILTW 7/18: I'm tired :\ (complaint department and other things)

    OrganizedChaos replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with your use of GoFundMe. But someone who is able bodied & mind just wanting money because they don't want to work, is just lazy. I'm sorry for your loss. But yeah, funerals are...

    OrganizedChaos replied to mgenerous's topic in Canada

    But wouldn't you held to your highest licensure? An RN can work as a CNA but will still be held accountable as an RN should anything go wrong. Just sounds like a bad

    Forced Bath's is this taking away a patients rights?

    OrganizedChaos replied to Health-Nut's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree! Plus what if there are no male CNAs or nurses on the unit? Is the PP gonna request a male nurse or aide come from a different unit to help you? It doesn't work that

    OrganizedChaos replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That's crazy. I can't imagine setting up a Go Fund Me for myself or anyone if they were able to work but choose not to. But then people give their money away for weird reasons. Some people just don't...

    OrganizedChaos replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    That's just crazy to me. I would never talk to my coworkers about my mental health diagnosis or share meds & for the same reason you explained. You might be friend(ly) now, but what happens if you...

    Asking nurse coworker out on a date on another floor

    OrganizedChaos replied to Sailed3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I met my DH at work & in theory it sounds good. But when actually played out it can turn into a mess, FAST! Any drama can be brought to work & if she is friends with any coworkers she will...

    Lol that's so weird. I mean whatever floats their boat, yaknow? I just can't believe they are so open with what meds they take. I never talked to any coworkers about my depression/anxiety meds. Seems...

    I don't work any more due to my Bipolar diagnosis but I don't miss it. I never worked in a hospital & don't feel like I missed out on anything. I don't know how you guys do it, I would lose my...

    If people know that a school is bad it could make it hard finding a job because people assume things about your education. No, bad schools are bad schools, it's generally not the students. A lot of...

    I am pregnant & I forgot how crazy it was. This pregnancy definitely isn't as bad as my first was. If I could go to school I would definitely try to work into L&D. I had some amazing nurses...
