  1. Resigned - New Job Help

    Cat365 replied to salpal2127's topic in General Nursing

    I am looking for a change/new challenges. This works especially well if you are applying to a different type of unit. If the new job has different hours say it was the old hours. You wanted an...

  3. Hi Can Someone Tell Me if I Have This Concept Correct Please?

    Cat365 replied to Plumrose15153's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't decrease permeability. As the previous poster stated its gravity at work. When people are sitting the leg is in a dependent position and fluid can accumulate. It happens less when walking...

  4. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Cat365 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Second day of my first clinical I was helping an elderly man in LTC walk to breakfast. As we were passing his bed. Him "I don't suppose I could convince you to crawl in there with me." Me "No, I...

  5. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Cat365 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Some members of a minority culture in my area actually injest the

  6. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Cat365 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think their estrangement matters unless they were legally separated. Or if he had appointed a different person as POA. Legally she would be his

  7. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Cat365 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I once smuggled six pickle slices on for my grandmothers burger. I knew they were against her hospital diet, but I also knew she was declining anyway. She refused to eat three quarters of the time she...

  8. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Cat365 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    One of the hospitals I was at you were not allowed to exit the bathroom if the patient was using it and was classified as a fall risk. I understand they disliked falls but this applied to an alert...

  9. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Cat365 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    You should never be surprised by the stupidity of people. Who was it that said something like "look at someone with average intelligence and realize that half the world is dumber than that"? I know...

  10. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Cat365 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    The request alone means he was not mentally

  11. Chances of being accepted into the Air Force with prior Afib???

    Cat365 replied to Justme23's topic in Government, Military

    I would ask an Air Force recruitment person. It can depend somewhat on how badly they need recruits at the time. I was good friends with a marine who did recruitment a few years back. He said that if...

  12. As a Indian Nurse

    Cat365 replied to chandragiriseenu's topic in Nurse Registration

    No license issued in the USA is valid in

  13. Is not answering the phone for work bad?

    Cat365 replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Nursing

    I would have either loved or hated this boss. I can't believe she thought to do that. Or had the formula on hand to do

  14. Placed on nurse aide abuse registry...please no judgement...need advice

    Cat365 replied to NeedSeriousInput's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I have no idea. I would ask someone in a position of authority at your school or consult an attorney that is familiar with the BON in your current state. I wasn't even aware there was a list of this...

  15. Excited!

    Cat365 replied to TravelRNdreaming's topic in General Nursing

    It may just be me but from my observations the long term night staff nurses have less of a "joining" attitude. I think many of them like the fact that there are less people-doctors, visitors,...

  16. Is This Legal?

    Cat365 replied to MiracleMommy35's topic in General Nursing

    You would have to ask an employment expert. Personally the only way I could see them getting around it is if you are considered an independent contractor. However, I am not an expert in employment...

  17. Superstitious

    Cat365 replied to fcp4life's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital has rooms that end in thirteen but it is fairly new. Maybe that's

  18. For The Love Of All That Is Holy . . . .

    Cat365 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    This one made me laugh. I had the image of a Matt on the floor waiting for someone to fall on him. Will he catch them or be

  19. Is not answering the phone for work bad?

    Cat365 replied to CedarGirl10's topic in General Nursing

    I answer or I don't depending on my mood. I also have no trouble saying no if I do answer. My job is not the center of my life. I resolved last year to have a better work/life balance. It is not...

  20. Potty Training Schedule and Night Shift

    Cat365 replied to jmikayla's topic in General Nursing

    It can be done, but it's not easy. I woke up every 2 hours for awhile. At least until the puppy was older. I would consider a daycare or a friend/relative/puppy walker that could stop by mid-sleep...

  21. Nursing career? Advice.

    Cat365 replied to sparkles226's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking that a CNA course would be a less stressful way of learning basic skills where it won't matter as much. If you fail too many basic skills in nursing school you won't pass a class. If...

  22. Nursing career? Advice.

    Cat365 replied to sparkles226's topic in General Nursing

    First I would find a conselor. It sounds as if you need someone to talk with. If you are truly interested in becoming a nurse and bored with your current life have you considered becoming a tech or a...

  23. What's In A Name Badge?

    Cat365 replied to TruvyNurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I really have no issue either way. Personally I leave off degree level except on professional documents and then I choose the ones most relevant. (Nursing was a second career so I can claim initials...

  24. "Observed" urine drug screen

    Cat365 replied to thisgirldrums's topic in General Nursing

    I would have had a huge issue with this. I would have allowed a "pat down" to ensure that I was not hiding a bag of urine but to drop my pants? No

  25. What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Cat365 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing
