  1. Documenting Others Meds

    Mr Sacdiff posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My workplace currently underwent a downtime where our electronic medication record was unavailable. Now that it is back up two days later our supervisor is requesting that we chart medications that we...

  2. Documenting Others Meds

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's about what was done. Except they got rid of our secretaries so the nurses did it. Thanks for all the

  3. Documenting Others Meds

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Everything is documented on paper. I'm told it has to be duplicated in the EMR for billing purposes. We are now being told there will be hell to pay if we do not do

  4. does the PVT still work?

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Lab22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The trick worked for me. They changed it so you must submit a payment, but if you passed it will not charge you and it will give you the good message. If you fail, it will charge you. I had an old...

  5. Becoming an Endocrine Nurse

    Mr Sacdiff posted a topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I am currently in nursing school and have a bit to go, but I thought I'd ask this here. How do you go about getting into endocrine and more specifically pediatric endocrinology? I don't believe...

  6. DaVita Village

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Islnd_RN's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Raises are 1.5%, but based on reviews, an FA can give some teammates less and others more. It's funny how many people complain about this, but don't go elsewhere. Most places aren't giving as good of...

  7. Nurses Being Made to Tech?

    Mr Sacdiff replied to westieluv's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Getting paid a LOT more to do a tech job is not something I would complain about in the current

  8. Interested in becoming a CNA

    Mr Sacdiff replied to vpbernal's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Totally depends on your state. Here in Florida you don't even need to attend a program. You can just challenge the

  9. When to use gloves

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Deenice's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm pretty sure the only one you NEED gloves for is foot care, but I wore gloves for any skill. They cannot fail you if you wear gloves. :) And in the real world, I wear them all the time, because I...

  10. Sitter breaks

    Mr Sacdiff replied to permanentnights's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sitting is typically pretty easy at my hospital. The aides cover the sitters for the most part. If you have a combative patient or one that refuses to remain in their bed or chair and is a fall...

  11. Nurses working as CNAs

    Mr Sacdiff replied to nolanurse88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Once in awhile (especially now, during "season" here in Florida) our RN's will fill in and do "Aid Work". Most of them do not mind, because they are simply helping with ADL's and such and can report...

  12. Davita vs Fresenius

    Mr Sacdiff replied to ffliper27's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    So glad my wife is with Davita and she loves it. She has always gotten some type of bonus as a floor nurse, but now she's an FA and the bonuses are a huge help now that I'm in between careers. From...

  13. Living in upstate New York sick of the cold going somewhere warm for RN school.

    Mr Sacdiff replied to MichaelDoherty's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Southwest Florida has schools that aren't as competitive as other areas. And you will not beat the gulf coast beaches of southwest

  14. Cna instructor:diarrhea of the mouth

    Mr Sacdiff replied to deetrain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Wow. You are going into the medical field. This isn't world of warcraft

  15. Cna instructor:diarrhea of the mouth

    Mr Sacdiff replied to deetrain's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    With this thread and the "taco" thread that the OP posted, I cannot take him seriously. Not to mention, if you're referring to a lady parts as a taco on a health professional site, I would call you...

  16. Facing a layoff...advice please

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Loodlow's topic in Nurse Management

    As an employee, I would love to know about my impending termination. I was let go suddenly right before the birth of my 3rd child and it was awful. I understand businesses need to do that sometimes...

  17. CNA New Grad $8 an hour please help!!!!

    Mr Sacdiff replied to NewNew10's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sorry. I am pursuing nursing as well and I love being a CNA, but I would never do it for $8.00/hr. Mostly because I'm in the middle of switching careers and have 3 children and $8.00 doesn't...

  18. First Code/Death

    Mr Sacdiff replied to chiromed0's topic in General Nursing

    I am surprised you've made it this far in your education and just now had your first code, but do not beat yourself up. I'm still in nursing school, but I am working as a CNA. In just over a year...

  19. Nursing tougher for guys than girls

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in Men in Nursing

    Buddy, you need to get married so you know when to keep that hole in your face shut. (mostly joking! but not

  20. Fired for posting on face book

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you. And pookyp, if you do not adjust your privacy settings on facebook, anyone can see what you post. Also, if your employer is friends with one of your friends, all your friend has to do is...

  21. Fired for posting on face book

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Lizzly's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with your employer. Healthcare is completely different than any other profession. When we still lived up north, if my wife couldn't make it to work in her own vehicle, they would have...

  22. Why do you love Dialysis?

    Mr Sacdiff posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I am currently in nursing school and dialysis is something I have interest in after gaining experience as an RN. I know the negative aspects of the job. I've read it hear and well, my wife has been...

  23. Why do you love Dialysis?

    Mr Sacdiff replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    From talking to my wife and other dialysis nurses that I've worked with, this sounds like a crappy clinic. Hopefully for your sake those negative people will move on or maybe you have another one...

  24. Hospital CNA - What is your day like?

    Mr Sacdiff replied to SilleLu's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work on an oncology unit that doubles as a med/surg unit. We try to get all of our baths done in the morning (the night shift is responsible for at least 5 baths). We then begin checking...

  25. The Joys of CNA Work

    Mr Sacdiff posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Today, one of my nurses asked me, "Hey, did you see her butt?". Luckily I was on the way to the restroom, because I laughed hysterically. Partially because I'm a man-child, but also because I am in...
