2. Ethical dilemma

   missaretha replied to Testing1.2.3.'s topic in General Nursing

   Go work in skilled nursing, where you'll have 25+ resident patients to chart on. You'll be copying and pasting generic notes, and adding the changes where needed, after one shift. Stay in your

3. OG Nurses: How did you use paper charts?

   missaretha replied to Nmichelle's topic in General Nursing

   Not sure what you consider an OG nurse. The Kardex and MAR in the first answer was what I was using until electronic everything switched over...in 2017! Everything else described is the same as...

4. DFPS findings of neglect

   missaretha replied to SureJan's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

   Not sure I understand the question entirely. DFPS is an agency that has findings. They do not find people guilty or not guilty. If they hand it over to police for criminal proceedings, and she's found...

   missaretha replied to kraft Wek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Even if you get an LPN and then do an LPN to RN program, you still need higher grades in those courses. They are THE prerequisites that are going to get you into those programs. They are extremely...

6. Narcotic restriction being lifted

   missaretha replied to Nursrcy00901's topic in Nurses Recovery

   Who gives a damn what the board of nursing or even the director of nursing thinks? You did the work, you'll have to keep doing the work. Get the keys back and do your

7. Accused of diverting (WHEN I WOULD NEVER )NEVER)

   missaretha replied to win92's topic in General Nursing

9. How should I handle CNA

   missaretha replied to happymama's topic in General Nursing

   "I have worked with CNA's that were so awesome, that I gave them and only them a $50.00 Bill for Christmas." No worries. A lot of us nurses do this when we have CNAs that we work with on a...

11. Manager is colluding

    missaretha replied to AKP25's topic in General Nursing

    If HR has said to escalate, then she should escalate. HR can call them all into an office and resolve it. If a manager has proof, then that manager would have to bring the proof. If there is no proof...

12. Refused assignment due to patient safety, was I wrong?

    missaretha replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I've had this happen to me quite a bit. I always said no. They need to either hold over the nurse currently on, get someone to come in, or the RN supervisor should take the cart. In assisted living,...

14. Harassment in nursing school

    missaretha replied to Tiara Walker's topic in General Students

    I have to agree with the comment above. Nursing instructors are always going to be super tough on their students. They know exactly what it's going to be like after you graduate so they will be all...
