  1. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    NOADLS replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    With a union in place, the nurse doing a minimally acceptable job is treated (for the most part) the same as a nurse that goes the extra mile. I personally don't mind

  2. Resignation in lieu of drug test? Is random testing the answer?

    NOADLS replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If you do drugs and fear getting tested, move up to Canada. They rules for when (or even if) they can test you are heavily in your favor. I would think that anyone refusing to get tested is guilty of...

  3. The Ethics of Crowdfunding in Healthcare

    NOADLS replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A local high school graduate crowdfunded new boobs for her graduation gift. I would have recommended a nose job instead. Ethics in crowdfunding don

  4. Day VS Night shift...help

    NOADLS replied to Joanie49's topic in General Nursing

    Statistically 3-11 is not a pretty shift. When something goes wrong, you are probably going to stay to finish up. On other shifts, spreading the work across the oncoming shift is standard. I've had to...

  5. Does anyone live alone?

    NOADLS replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    I live on my own. No kids and no pets. Bills are easy to keep up with. I don't buy unnecessary things and am able to put away a good chunk of my salary despite being halfway through my

  6. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    NOADLS replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    You can ask for whatever you like, but if you ask for something that isn't in line with the industry standard, it will hurt your chances of getting hired. By only being able to work that one shift, a...

  7. Why did they use the call bell?

    NOADLS replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I advocate for having CNAs present. These tasks should be delegated to CNAs as we are above

  8. Can a meth dealer become a HIPAA Auditor?

    NOADLS replied to AdianA's topic in General Nursing

    OP, you've answered your own question. Can it happen? Looks like it already

  9. Is it okay for RN to ask recovery patients not to swear?

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

    Swearing serves a way of coping through pain. If you can't handle a patient swearing in a completely acceptable context, I'd be worried about what you are able to handle. I would even go as far to...

  10. Are nurses generally more attractive

    NOADLS replied to rfms's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1. Do you think your attractive? yes 2. Do you think your choice of career helped you get dates or no difference? no difference 3. Do you think you are smart? yes 4. Name a career or careers you...

  11. Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    NOADLS replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    It isn't normal. Problem could be solved by labeling the washrooms as XX and XY. The biggest issue I see is the difference between what is allowed in schools vs what happens outside of schools. If a...

  12. Medical errors the 3rd leading cause of death??

    NOADLS replied to ShaneTeam's topic in Nursing News

    Without reading, I can tell you that this is the media playing the stats manipulation

  13. Do crnas deserve that much salary?

    NOADLS replied to jasy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Education equals entitlement. There's a reason you get paid more than a CNA. There's a reason doctors get paid more than you. Without the monetary incentive, why spend the time and money to get...

  14. HELP! Masking the smell of feces!

    NOADLS replied to WhitneyRene's topic in General Students

    Feces? That's the CNA's problem. After you graduate, it will be up to you whether or not you want to work in a setting where you have to deal with

  15. Why are Nurses and CNAs so mean/rude

    NOADLS replied to guest05/03/16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP, does being assertive count as being

  16. Should I do Nursing or OT?

    NOADLS replied to shinybluedolphinn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should do both. But change the definition of OT to overtime and you'll see why. You'll be rolling in

  17. HELP! I have to write policies now??!

    NOADLS replied to ArisTomas's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What kind of setting do you work in? Ask a nurse in an identical setting for a copy of their policies and procedures and you know the rest (Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V). Then add a clause stating the CNA's do...

  18. Meaning of your username?

    NOADLS replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    NOADLS = No ADLS since that's the CNA's

  19. LTC Nurse to resident ratio

    NOADLS replied to Emmienme's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What you've described is on the harder end of a LTC nurse's workload. I am interested to know how many of those diabetic patients are on insulin and what their testing frequencies

  20. Nurse from US interested in moving to Canada

    NOADLS replied to Anonymous666's topic in International Nursing

    Your student loans will not affect your ability to move across the border and seek employment in Canada. It is actually common practice for Canadians and Americans to evade debt (including student...

  21. I want a new word.

    NOADLS replied to amoLucia's topic in General Nursing

    "The wise one." Be wary of this. If you do not use your wisdom correctly, it might not end

  22. PVT still works

    NOADLS replied to acemik's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Cool story

  23. 8 or 12 hour shifts

    NOADLS replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in General Nursing

    8 hours shifts are more advantageous compared to 12 hour shifts. Why? Patient's needs are divided between 3 shifts when 8 hour shifts are in play. When 12 hour shifts are the standard, it is only 2...

  24. Student nurses with disabilities

    NOADLS replied to sara2013's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    There's the "go big or go home" strategy. This strategy is literally how it sounds. Cheat. It works? Big payoff. You get caught? You go

  25. Not Criminally Responsible

    NOADLS replied to Tylerr's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NCR = Defense Lawyer did a better job than the prosecutor. I would be willing to bet that less than 1% of those found NCR are actually worthy of
