    RNlove17 replied to RNlove17's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for responses! I don't mind the floating down to a CNA (although I will admit that don't want to do it all the time, because the main reason i work per diem is to keep up my nursing skills...

  3. The angry parent

    RNlove17 posted a topic in School

    It's the last day of school here, and just had an angry dad come in. Yelling at us because his daughter (an 18 yo senior) was in the other day for chest pains. She had seen the nurse at the (school...

  4. "No One Respects My Religious Beliefs"

    RNlove17 replied to Mikey31079's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it's pretty rude (and not according to US law anyway) to suggest someone find a different line of work because of their religion. Sounds like she's rude about it though and never tried to make...

  8. Should I join a teachers's union?

    RNlove17 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

    I'm in the teacher union, dues paying. If you don't join the district will assess you a fee which is basically the same amt as paying dues. I like being in in though, it's a strong union (NYSUT). I...

    RNlove17 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in School

  11. Accused of withholding pain medication

    RNlove17 replied to trucol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can't believe pt's can still smoke... all hospital campuses in my area are smoke free. Anyway, yes it was technically withheld. PRNs are for breakthrough pain. Did I miss something? Why could he...

  14. Lifestyle Discrimination

    RNlove17 replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The problem is employers are expected to pay the majority for employees health insurance in the US. That system is what is fueling the discrimination. Is it right, no? But I understand it from a...

  15. Anal retentive Nurses UNITE.

    RNlove17 replied to lumbarpain's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Don't forget you are new and learning everything at this particular facility, so things are going to take you longer. After awhile you learn the routine and go quicker. Doesn't mean they're not giving...

  16. Hearing screening

    RNlove17 posted a topic in School

    I have a question for hearing screenings...hopefully it's not too confusing. I currently test students at 1000, 2000, and 4000 hz at 20db (and then go up, obviously, if they can't hear at that). Most...

  19. Nurses who believe in herbal nonsense, alternative medicine, anti vaccine etc

    RNlove17 replied to mhy12784's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well aren't you pleasant? There truly is medicinal value to some "herbs" and alternative treatments. Why is it okay to push a synthetic drug on a patient but mention an herb and that's wrong? One...

  20. TB Protocol

    RNlove17 posted a topic in Infectious Disease

    Trying to find out what is it, not sure where to look. I work per diem (used to be full time, got a new job and only work 1x/month there now) at a rehab facility and when a patient tests positive upon...

    Just wondering, what is the age cap for CPS reporting? 18? Is it 21 for disabled children? I am looking and cannot find anything. I feel like an idiot for not being able to find

  23. Shingles precautions

    RNlove17 replied to LightMyFire's topic in Infectious Disease

    At my old rehab unit, we'd only put them on contact precautions. Which was only gown and gloves, altho I'd choose to wear a mask. This was also a place that left Tb patients in regular rooms too so......

  24. Taking dying patient home with children - what are your thoughts?

    RNlove17 replied to tokebi's topic in Pediatric

    You really cannot judge the situation as there are way too many factors. I get the response in theory (that shielding kids from death is a bit much) but in actuality there are just so many more...

  25. CPS age cap?

    RNlove17 replied to RNlove17's topic in School

    Ok just found some fine print saying it's less than 18 years old in my state. But what about developmentally disabled students? (this is hypothetical, i don't have this situation occurring, just...
