  1. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    Interpolfan89 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I’m literally just saying I don’t think they should lose their livelihood over it. They were absolutely wrong for doing what they did and posting it, no

  2. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    Interpolfan89 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    OK, it was a question, hence the question mark. Teaching moment. Not a moment to try to make someone feel dumb. Thank you for clarifying. I know it doesn’t negate consequences. I just felt...

  3. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    Interpolfan89 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I feel it would be a fireable offense if there was any identifiable images or information pertaining to specific patients or the hospital itself. Otherwise isn't it just using your freedom of speech...

  4. Advice needed! Burn out/possible career change

    Interpolfan89 replied to LPNVA1991's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am so sorry you are going through this. I feel the same way about how broken our healthcare system is. It’s disgusting and disheartening. I get burned out because of this as well. When the burnout...

  5. LVN... not what I expected

    Interpolfan89 replied to jasnxs84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I’m sorry that you are feeling this way after all you went through in school and what you sacrificed. You are definitely not alone in how you feel. I don’t know what state you are in but I am in...

  6. Med error/feeling overwhelmed has me thinking of career change

    Interpolfan89 replied to Fl0ridaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is typical of new nurses. I’ve definitely been where you are. I’m a bit of a perfectionist and often compare myself/abilities to other nurses. I just have to remind myself to look at the...

  7. Over my head?

    Interpolfan89 replied to Madc's topic in General Nursing

    I know I am going to get virtually shot for saying this but I don’t agree that a new grad should NEVER be hired into a leadership role. Circumstance is everything. This person could have had a...

  8. Exit interview survey, tell the truth, lie or ignore

    Interpolfan89 replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good topic! I believe all employers’ exit interviews should be done electronically so that people can feel comfortable speaking their mind about the organization they chose to leave. I...

  9. Exhausted; I want a way out.

    Interpolfan89 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I’m very sorry to hear about all that you are going through. We do have to take care of ourselves in order to adequately care for others. You could try private duty nursing in which you’d only...

  10. Are we not asked to give to much?

    Interpolfan89 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that our healthcare system is horrible, and that a good number of the people working in it are abused. There are many days I have literally given blood, sweat, and tears during my only 5 year...

  11. Refuse the cart

    Interpolfan89 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have a friend working in a skilled nursing and rehab facility. She has only been working there one month. On her unit, in the narcotic boxes on each cart and in the narcotic fridge, there are at...

  12. Another Nurse on Nurse hostility story

    Interpolfan89 replied to clandestine2's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, if I had been the Nurse on the other line I would have just documented "Nurse spoken with refused to give her name at end of call" or something to that effect and been done with it. I...

  13. When do you say no.

    Interpolfan89 replied to jmcd84's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I hope that what that commenter was getting at was that if you are a nurse working as a CNA and something goes wrong, legally you are held to the higher standard of a

  15. What Is the Problem???

    Interpolfan89 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Am I the only one who feels that the situation the OP describes is how nursing in that setting should be? Safe patient load for each nurse, and the nurse is not distracted while passing meds or doing...

  16. LTC vs Assisted living

    Interpolfan89 replied to Mscoleman78's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Assisted livings are pretty cool in the sense that they are free to "assist" to whatever degree they want. I work at two different assisted living facilities (one full time, the other part time). At...

  17. Obsessed with Scrubs

    Interpolfan89 replied to Longleggedstar's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Jannuu. Most stylish scrubs ever. They are so nice, people didn't believe they were scrubs when I wore them to work. Pricey, but worth it to

  18. Pain assessments - gabapentin?????

    Interpolfan89 replied to martymoose's topic in Patient Medications

    Actually it is prescribed as both a scheduled and prn med. Idk about it being more effective than opioids since it has to be given in such a high dose to compare. It would be nice if we didn't have to...

  19. prn med help

    Interpolfan89 replied to EricaRN2015's topic in Patient Medications

    I think what the op did was fine. I would have done the same. I would have told the patient that they would be getting the med in 30 mins and that they could have Tylenol in the meantime. I never give...

  20. Work schedule?

    Interpolfan89 replied to usmc241632's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am an lpn and I work Monday-Friday 3pm-9pm, but since I am expected to complete everything I would on a 3-11p shift, I haven't gotten out on time yet

  21. I hate being a new grad lpn

    Interpolfan89 replied to Depressnewgrad's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    i completely agree! These employers don't like to waste their time. They knew you were a new grad when they they asked you to interview so that's not it at all. Before I go on any interview, I google...

  22. Telling "STATE" you don't have supplies....

    Interpolfan89 replied to nervousnurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If you are running a facility, and are unaware of being out of supplies, then it sounds like you're not talking to your

  23. Hours?

    Interpolfan89 replied to momofboys2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I actually just got hired at a nursing home for Monday through Friday 3pm-9p and a 12hr on call shift every 5th weekend. Weird,

  24. New grad dilemma

    Interpolfan89 replied to Newgrad1991's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    that was some of the best advice I have read on this site. Very straightforward. To the OP: if you can tolerate the neuro unit, do it. The nicu will always be there and you'd have an in by that

  25. I Hope No One Hires You

    Interpolfan89 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    To the OP: it's obvious this nurse just was tired of making money. I mean, why else would someone just quit their job? i was being sarcastic. Seriously, people leave their job for a reason. That...
