    Supervised smoking in LTC

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

    How I look at it: their rights end at my body. The smoke will reach my/your body, therefore the right to smoke is secondary. Could you get a provider note submitted to occupational health, stating...

    OB/Maternal be an elective class for male nursing students

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

    You can allege that the many working professionals who replied should cut the BS...Sure it makes you come off as unprofessional and very immature, but you can say it. Trouble is, they are not wrong....

    How to Identify and Respond to Bullying and Incivility

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

    Damion, your sarcastic responses to dissenting opinions are bordering on ad hominem attacks. Maybe not quite TO that point... but rude enough that I do think some self-reflection may be a good idea...

    New nurse staying way past 9:30 pm on day shift

    Here.I.Stand replied to connecticut23's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh my goodness... in subacute we had 10 pts, and some days that didn't feel safe!! 9 pts is never ever reasonable for med-surg. EVER. Ok so your manager can't get staff until October... 1) well...

    Gloves? Is this acceptable?

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

    I don't think any of us advocate touching slimy NGs or picking dried blood with bare hands. That would fall under my earlier "reasonable expectation of bpdily fluids" comment... my strong stomach...

    Gloves? Is this acceptable?

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

    We're actually NOT supposed to don gloves for "everything" -- we are to don when reasonably expecting to touch bodily fluids. I mean way to make someone think you think they are dirty, if you can't...

    Michigan hospital sued after honoring woman's request for "white nurse only"

    Here.I.Stand replied to klone's topic in Nursing News

    Except that Muslim women's requests for female nurses are about modesty -- they don't hate men or harbor bigotry toward men. Big difference. That said, I don't get why a nurse in this case would sue...

    Bullied psych nurse commits suicide

    Here.I.Stand replied to Rocknurse's topic in Nursing News

    Getting vulnerable for a moment: I'm in the process of severing an abusive marriage -- mostly verbally and emotionally, although it turned physical a few times. To say I was bullied at home is an...

    I was 5 months along when I started my job, and they told me they couldn't accommodate a lifting restriction. 50 lbs or no job... which was fine because I was healthy and lifted my 50 lb children...

    Strike Nurse Practitioners?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Shookclays's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Concerns re: the idea of crossing picket lines aside, this is a supremely bad idea for a new nurse. Like, a Cecil B. DeMille epically bad idea. They are a skeleton crew (no admin who shafts their OWN...

    I made a medication error. What will happen to me?

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

    Be kind to yourself -- we have all made med errors. If your facility culture "knows" what is good for it, it will be treated as a learning opportunity, NOT punish you. I mean... if we had to fear...

    Manager is correct, but you are NOT inadequate. I don't recommend float pool for new grads anyway -- orientation time is split among all of these diverse units and their respective staff. You don't...

    Also -- DO NOT chart off the clock!! It is required, you are non-exempt, and pay is REQUIRED. I mention this bc any management willing to slash handoff... A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF PT SAFETY (look...

    Paid Report Time

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

    Labor law states that if you are FLSA non-exempt (i.e. paid hourly vs salary) you must be paid for all work. Paying is not optional. Your choices are 1) take the needed length for handoff and get...
