    Employee Health Questions

    Here.I.Stand replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    Back in my CNA days I had an employer ask for my med list. I don’t remember any clause like yours had, and honestly I would be very uncomfortable working for a place like that. All they need to...

    Pre-employment health exam asking for my last menstrual period date

    Here.I.Stand replied to Noodle28's topic in General Nursing

    There ya go. Are they asking men when their LMP was? Of course not. So not only do they have no need for this information, I would conclude that they shouldn’t be

    Pre-employment health exam asking for my last menstrual period date

    Here.I.Stand replied to Noodle28's topic in General Nursing

    But for a *pre-employment* physical? All that I have ever had was limited to health as far as it could affect my job performance. LMP is not relevant to a job, so employers really have no need for...

    how often do you chart a note and PRIORITIZATION

    Here.I.Stand replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    Another thought about hourly notes: sometimes I want/need to read interdisciplinary notes for learning about my patient. It sounds like a behemoth pain in the butt to scroll through 24 nursing notes...

    Should I be more excited during clinicals?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Piper98's topic in General Students

    I remember being so nervous and dreaded my clinicals! Now I work in a level 1 trauma ICU and am known for my cool-keeping.

    how often do you chart a note and PRIORITIZATION

    Here.I.Stand replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    That’s ridiculous. Other disciplines should be doing their own charting — that’s not nursing’s job. Also orders: they input their orders, so unless you are discussing your nursing...

    What are your perspective on Mandate Fairness?

    Here.I.Stand replied to ashagreyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    It was just a thought... besides I have seen nurses who work in procedural areas, or on my unit who are ECMO trained, and who work home hospice all have on-call hours in addition to their scheduled...

    If they expect you to independently run 3 RRs with no support, they are delusional.

    Career Crossroads

    Here.I.Stand replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    A long commute would be a deal-breaker FOR ME. It’s one thing to work 40 hours per week, but I would hate having to take additional time sitting in a car. If you want to do pt care, what about...

    Should I have accessed her port?

    Here.I.Stand replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    This pt’s port — unless I am missing something, and I did re-read the OP to make sure — appears to have been placed specifically FOR her access needs during sickle cell crises. She didn’t...

    Should I have accessed her port?

    Here.I.Stand replied to guest947568's topic in General Nursing

    So she had a small surgical procedure to place this port, for nothing? Would any rational person actually never raise an issue if healthcare staff are refusing to utilize the access that her...
