    drug testing

    gr8rnpjt replied to littlez1's topic in General Nursing

    Drug testing is not something nurses have a lot of experience with. Since you are in a nursing forum online, I suggest you google drug testing and marijuana and you will get a lot more and better...

    Husband Trying to Discourage Me from Nursing

    gr8rnpjt replied to Dottie78's topic in General Nursing

    Here's what you do. Tell your husband that he is right, you don't think you want to be a nurse anymore. Tell him you can make just as much if not more money

    Scheduled meeting with manager, HR and union rep

    gr8rnpjt replied to meadow85's topic in General Nursing

    Did you call in sick or did you call in and tell them about the scheduling conflict? If it was the latter then it's not hard to guess what this is

    A very brief vent....

    gr8rnpjt replied to 1TachyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the best thing to have done when you started this thread was to omit the part about being at work while you were complaining about someone not doing their job. Not wanting to pile on or...

    gr8rnpjt replied to Sterlink's topic in General Nursing

    When I graduated in 1980 I worked in the same community hospital where I trained. I worked almost every medsurg level unit and started getting floated to tele. I hated it at first I knew nothing about...

    Refusal question, please give me your thoughts.

    gr8rnpjt replied to emndarmic's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Your services are needed elsewhere and you don't need that kind of working environment. Tell the social worker at the home care agency that the house is in deplorable condition. State health...

    The Stress of School Ruined my Relationship!

    gr8rnpjt replied to carriesm8's topic in General Nursing

    I may be reading too much in between the lines but I sense that perhaps your treatment of her was a tad abusive? If so, she may need time to be apart to heal from what was said and/or done. If I am...

    gr8rnpjt replied to houstonlvn's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure exactly what it is she is doing and who exactly she is targeting? Sorry, I just think there are probably details you don't want to get into and perhaps rightly so, but I am not clear on...

    Co-Workers Read My Medical Files

    gr8rnpjt replied to nurse7272's topic in General Nursing

    Unbelievable. A report to the Compliance officer would be my first step. No one should be able to get away with this. You must be so angry, I know I would be, and how it has been handled, or not...

    I'm just trying to help you!

    gr8rnpjt replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the right thing trying to help. Now that you know how your good intentions are received, you should let her do it all on her own. Continue to make offers but don't waste your time and...

    Leaving Nursing...

    gr8rnpjt replied to s1shaw's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you I would get back into the insurance business. It is clean work, steady daylight weekends off, and nobody dies on your watch. I am very happy in my insurance job. I find it fulfilling...

    Inhumane Supervisors/Managers-LONG

    gr8rnpjt replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that this is insane. Your comfort should be her only concern and to say that no sneakers are to be worn, well, I would have had to point out her "pet" and his shoes. Good luch with your new...

    Domestic Abuse/Assault patients in the ED, how do you get through to them?

    gr8rnpjt replied to deeDawntee's topic in Emergency

    gr8rnpjt replied to deeDawntee's topic in Emergency

    I resent this type of thinking and I hope you do not work in a capacity that puts you in the vicinity of abuse victims. These women are more normal than you think. They are our neighbors, our...

    gr8rnpjt replied to deeDawntee's topic in Emergency

    Chances are, when times were relatively good between them, she told him everything you did wrong to her in her life, and he has a running dialogue that comes out in a tidal wave before and after she...

    HIPAA violations

    I have a HIPPA scenario that is not only scary but goes way beyond the boundaries that the drug companies consider themselves part of the treatment team. My mother was in the doctor's office recently...
