  1. Can a RN legally supervise BSN's and MSN's?

    payitforward replied to cosmicjustice's topic in General Nursing

    The comments I have seen in this thread have been ones I have heard throughout the 30 plus years I have been in nursing. A few years ago, a similar thread was posted. I was ostracized for my answer...

  2. G-Tube fed and oral feeding

    payitforward replied to beachynurse's topic in School

    This sounds like a law suit waiting to happen, especially when you say the mother is difficult with every one. I would make sure that there are ORDERS by an MD stating that the child can have both...

  3. How can I word this to my manager when she asks me to pick up extra?

    payitforward replied to Nurse4lifewithparrots's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it does appear that she is being quite petty giving all your OT shifts to an agency nurse. The issue I have is the fact that she ASSUMED you got your hair done! So what if you did? What you do...

  4. Can a RN legally supervise BSN's and MSN's?

    payitforward replied to cosmicjustice's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry if I get any backlash from this comment but as long as she is QUALIFIED for the position who cares? This is one of the reasons why I am out of nursing. There is ALWAYS someone who feels that...

  5. Going to work when you should of called out. What's your thoughts on this?

    payitforward replied to RUNNER87RCC's topic in General Nursing

    I don't go to work when I'm sick. That's it. You put yourself and the people around you in jeopardy of being sick as well. If I get written up because I called out sick, so be it. I have always...

  6. Lazy Coworkers?

    payitforward replied to thenursebabe25's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I think we ALL have had that co-worker we don't like working behind but this is ridiculous! First off, if she is signing off on treatments that were not done you have a responsibility to report...

  7. South Carolina LPNs Arrested For Not Changing Wound Dressings

    payitforward replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Seems a little harsh, but it appears we don't know the whole story. BUT! Why would they be documenting they did it when it wasn't done? That is an offense right there. I'm going with a disgruntled...

  8. Entitled Nurses

    payitforward replied to Kate_Peds's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree 1000%!!! Unfortunately in the career field some think that we deserve NOTHING. That every thing is " part of the job ". Everyone deserves common courtesy and

  9. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    payitforward replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, which is the point I'm trying to

  10. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    payitforward replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    " Even though technically I was senior to them" therein lies the problem. Most of what I have read isn't really welcoming . Guess you all Forgot that Lpn/LVNS must study, sit boards and do clinicals....

  11. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    payitforward replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly believe that one of the first things that NEEDS to happen is that LPN/LVNs need to be acknowledged as NURSES. We had to study, do clinical and sit boards just as our counterparts

  12. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    payitforward replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You know what? I read this article and I am really slightly bothered at the tone of the article. Why is there ALWAYS the connotation that LPNs/LVNs are " less than"? I know many an LPN/LVN that have...

  13. Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

    payitforward replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Whether she did violate HIPPA is suspect. There are some medical conditions that will appear to be alcohol intoxication. I think she should have just told the sherif about the odor of alcohol and let...

  14. New Nurse: Discouraged and Wanting to Quit

    payitforward replied to newgrad_13019's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I so totally understand how you feel! The culture of nursing is definitely a strange one, and is VERY clique oriented. Why I will never know, the CONSTANT arguing who is better- RN OR LPN, trainers...

  15. New Job Not Working Out

    payitforward replied to Gma24's topic in General Nursing

    After your training, will you have to see them again? Will they be a part of your day to day activities? If not, leave them where they are, rise above what they have and haven’t taught you and do...

  16. Anyone encountered this before?

    payitforward replied to Della4's topic in General Nursing

    Just an FYI on a few things 1. When you write something in quotes, it means you are repeating something someone said. It’s not used to “mock” someone at all! 2. WHENEVER you see a...

  17. I Left hospital nursing. What are you doing now?

    payitforward replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I am pretty much at the end of my steer. I did long term care for a few years but I’ve had enough. I took a gig with a nursing agency doing COVID screenings in the school system. BEST gig I...

  18. Got An Offer For Dayshift But Was Asked To Work Nightshift

    payitforward replied to yoon519's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with every comment! It’s a bait and switch and if you don’t stick to your guns, they will bounce you around to suit their needs. Soooo, no preceptors for day shift but they have one...

  19. Said No Nurse Ever

    payitforward replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Right! In fact they really don’t have. REMOTE

  21. Best Remote Nurse Jobs?

    payitforward replied to TheRn's topic in Nursing Career

    I have a question, what exactly were your expectations when you became a nurse? At some point in time I feel we all have been stressed beyond belief and have cried many a night wondering if we were in...

  22. When You Realize You Are Replaceable

    payitforward replied to Guest1189140's topic in Nursing Career

    While I respect your decision not to get vaccinated, you must understand that this is the world we currently live. As health care providers we all are required to take some type of immunizations. TB...

  23. How to deal with rude & demanding patients/residents?

    payitforward replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I have residents like these CONSTANTLY. One thing I will not/ do not tolerate is ANYONE being rude, crass, intimidating, to me or the staff, because it isn’t necessary. Most of the time it’s sort...

  24. Patient Yelled At Me And I Feel Stupid

    payitforward replied to RowRN_8855's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to be embarrassed about! Hey you adapted to the situation and considering the alternative ( her urinating on herself) I think you did good. Remember, no one can make you...

  25. Nursing Is No Longer Worth It

    payitforward replied to AnonymousSuper's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree with 1000%. I have been in the medical field since age 14 when I was a “ candy striper “ volunteering at a local hospital. I am not in my late 50’s. I pretty much have been there and...
