  1. Do you have to call your nurse manager before you call the doctor?

    Nola009 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If I wanna call the doctor just to say "hello", I will. Jk, but I call the doctor per my own nursing judgement, since they are my patients when I'm working. I actually had a former DON who wanted...

  2. Patient Abandonment

    Nola009 replied to OHRN29's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Please do us all a favor and report them to the BBB. Nurses and patients deserve better than what this employer has put you (and in turnthe clients)

  3. Patient Abandonment

    Nola009 replied to OHRN29's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    THEY are the ones who are going to get in legal trouble, not you. Patient abandonment is leaving mid-shift without having another nurse to take over for you. Like, walking out. Ohio is an "at will"...

  4. on "DNR" list-will they hire me??

    Nola009 replied to noleafcloverRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Mmm, I don't think it will come back to bite you, especially since #1 you were only a CNA at the time and #2, you were only there through agency. If it does come up, I would let HR know that you were...

  5. condom catheters

    Nola009 replied to 84RN's topic in General Nursing

    Fyi, UAP (home health aides) can put condom catheters on. So, tell your staff that. They do come off rather easily, but a nurse need not apply

  6. My daughter passed the NCLEX

    Nola009 replied to Keane68's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just graduated and passed the NCLEX last year. I posted on your other thread before. You seem like a good, and proud parent. Congrats to both you and your daughter...the

    Congrats!!! You must be

  8. If I hear this one more time, I'm going to lose it!!

    Nola009 replied to pixiedu2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. I don't like it when people follow blindly in any situation, much less nursing! That type of thing goes on where I work too. Even my boss says "that's the way it's always been done" when new...

  9. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Nola009 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you really want "no strings w/ benefits", seek out a lady who does that for a living and pay her price upfront. What people are trying to tell you here is that many times, most times the "price" to...

  10. Nurse, Madonna, and waitress??

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know. And I thought it was funny.We ARE adult professionals, who are having a discussion &/or joking around outside of work. I wonder what's up with the heavy handed editing

  11. Nurse, Madonna, and waitress??

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't see anything wrong with it. Those who practice the oldest profession are probably upset the title was switched out with waitress of all

  12. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Nola009 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Right. But, it will take awhile for a realistic connotation of MDs to catch up. Many "Heidi" types want someone to save them and haven't caught on

    Nola009 replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So glad you enjoyed my creative

  14. Requiring a BSN degree for an ADN scope of practice

    Nola009 replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Please describe (in your own words, not the line of crap your grossly overpriced private university fed you) the "advanced skill level" and difference between the ASN and BSN prepared

  15. Going from 30 to 5 ...

    Nola009 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I am a newer grad who completed all nursing clinicals in an acute care setting. First there was a Med-Surg unit, and another one, then OB, Psych, Oncology, a Renal/Telemetry floor, and last but not...

  16. Low self-esteem ....HELP!

    Nola009 replied to dmena14's topic in General Students

    The confidence you admire usually comes with practice and time. Keep at it. Since you are fortunate enough to recognize your weakness, at least you can seek help and work on

  17. Nurse, Madonna, and waitress??

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You sound perfect. Let us know when you're schedule opens

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Good idea!!! Let's look for band

  19. Fundamentals- Done!

    Nola009 replied to NurseGirl525's topic in General Students

    Wow. I was going to congratulate you. Now, I think I'm scared you might take offense to a well-meant post. Congrats

  20. Highest possible pay for ADN/RN

    Nola009 replied to pcgizzmo's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Let's presume you're lucky enough to find a desirable job immediately following your schooling/NCLEX. You could expect to make half of what you currently do, starting in this new career. You could...

  21. RN to BSN programs that enroll you upon application?!

    Nola009 posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I APPLIED to a local university's RN -BSN program along with a few others. Told the admissions director that I was still considering other schools at the time I applied. Anyways, come to find out that...

  22. Have you started antidepressants since becoming a nurse?

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Maybe I'm like you. I work while I'm at work, but at home I seem depleted of energy. It IS so hard, when you are depressed to make yourself get up and get goin. I think I'm going to make a call soon,...

  23. Have you started antidepressants since becoming a nurse?

    Nola009 replied to Nola009's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Nope... I gotta figure out a way to make this

  24. Nurse/Workplace Bullying Victim & Resignation

    Nola009 replied to Gypsynurse3's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If it's management, I'd almost want to alert their superiors to what's been going on. If that will hurt you further, I'd just say 'hey, I'm moving on to pursue another

  25. Would you like your job more if you were paid more?

    Nola009 replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes & being treated with more empathy and respect wouldn't hurt
