    NOADLS replied to Whispjes55's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    While this is still fairly recent, try to go on a talk show like Maury. That should bring things to a comforting

  2. Use of cellphones while at work

    NOADLS replied to givxnchy's topic in General Nursing

    Keep it in a secure pocket (Velcro/zip) so it doesn't happen again. Even as the supervisor on shift, I know when enforcing such a policy is a losing battle. If your facility is really nit picky about...

  3. Is this discrimination?

    NOADLS replied to WheresMyPen's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't push this issue. You should be happy with the outcome. Imagine if this patient didn't want a black person providing his care. Would you get defensive over his preferences? Age is just another...

  4. I don't want to work as a CNA during undergrad

    NOADLS replied to outsidegirl's topic in General Students

    You got to it before I did I've never worked as a CNA. Will not ever work as a CNA. And I am currently in school for my NP! CNA experience is something that you might get pressured into during the...

  5. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    NOADLS replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    This sums it up right here. You went into a store and behaved in a manner that would negatively affect the store's business. I don't think it is unreasonable for the pharmacist to defend his own...

    NOADLS replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

  10. Union hospital pays less than other hospitals in the same system..?

    NOADLS replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Nursing

    A few considerations here. The salary might not be on par, but what kind of benefits come with the unionized job? Do you have a better staffing ratio? How about health insurance? Shift differentials?...

  11. CNA accidents, nurse responsible?

    NOADLS replied to WheresMyPen's topic in General Nursing

    Your HR department comes in handy here. HR will have documented evidence supporting that the CNA is indeed trained and able to perform to the standards of the job. When hiring CNA's, we use a list of...

  12. max capacity lift test?

    NOADLS replied to BSN16's topic in General Nursing

    If I were asked to perform such a task, I would ask how such a task would be relevant to my job. If the person assessing my ability was able to provide a reasonable answer, I would respond by saying...

  13. Day shift lists, night nurses unsafe to move to days

    NOADLS replied to kittyhawk19's topic in General Nursing

    I can't help but laugh when I hear someone say that a nurse cannot be safe working a day shift, but safe working a night shift. There could be an efficiency issue, but in terms of overall safety, a...

  14. Reasons for not getting into a for profit school?

    NOADLS replied to Tashbun's topic in General Nursing

    If you've been turned away from a for profit school, ask the school why you were turned away if you seek the reason. From my point of view, that's a hard slap across the face to be rejected from a for...

  15. How did you decide your specialty?

    NOADLS replied to Irish_Mist's topic in General Nursing

    What pays the most and requires the least amount of

  16. Mandatory Overtime

    NOADLS replied to Stella_Blue's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't like mandatory OT, tell your employer you are giving notice and make it clear that it is because of the mandatory OT. Be sure to tell them that everything else is perfect and you wouldn't...

  18. Nurse forced to work as a CNA

    NOADLS replied to hillbillienurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am in charge on shift. I would never actually get asked to work as a CNA. I was only stating my hypothetical response. Edit: I see you joined this month. Dig back. My response here shouldn't be a...

  19. Nurse forced to work as a CNA

    NOADLS replied to hillbillienurse's topic in General Nursing

    If I were asked if I wanted to be an aide, I would say no. I am not interested in doing physical labor. If they didn't give me a choice, I would put in my notice on the spot. If it happens once, what...

  20. Educating patients on ER use

    NOADLS replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    Sadly, the proportion of the general population that is uneducated is only going to increase. The average person lacks the knowledge to determine what constitutes a medical emergency. The best...

    NOADLS replied to mysonsmama's topic in General Nursing

    The magnet status attracts money, but repels

  22. If you don't have a uniform...

    NOADLS replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started a few years ago, I bought 6 sets. This would last me for one working rotation and I would have one extra set just in case. Fast forward to now and I show up to work in a plain...

  23. Saw a needle on the floor...

    NOADLS replied to mira_koreau's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Finding a needle on the floor is nothing to get worked up over. Being unable to locate a needle that you might have stepped over is something that should cause you concern momentarily. But rational...

    NOADLS replied to RoadRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    Find something better. You didn't go through the extra education to put up with this (unless they pay you
