  1. IS THIS TRUE???

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Or, what was in my case - Newly discovered issues to

  2. You will all probably hate me for this

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    I've yet to read anything posted here that moves the bar beyond the point of no return. However, that could be due to outstanding moderation efforts... I post on this site in the same way I would...

  3. Nursing and the sex industry

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    We practice in the same state. Honestly, I think you'd be shocked at discovering how many of your co-workers have had ties to the sex industry at some point in their lives. Initially, I was. Does...

  4. IS THIS TRUE???

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. For reasons unknown to me I was 'overly popular' in my nursing program in the way your describe. I did volunteer to be the human mannequin for assessment training. I was also the human...

  5. Nursing and the sex industry

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    Although I agree with you; I think we can both admit this is not how reality affects our days. I've befriended co-workers in the past and learned later in the friendship that they were involved at...

  6. Nursing and the sex industry

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    If there are no laws being broken, I don't see the harm here. I'm also having a hard time seeing the need for disclosing information confirming working in the sex industry voluntarily. This could...

  7. Eliminating the LPN position

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to WCSU1987's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's pretty solid in my opinion, what you are mentioning here. I'd recommend not letting a better job offer etc distract you from moving forward until you hit RN level. The most shocking thing I'd...

  8. Eliminating the LPN position

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to WCSU1987's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I just knew I couldn't have been the only go getter out there who got tackled by life :) It takes time to recover from circumstances. And while it absolutely can be done - it's a much longer, and...

  9. Almost made a very bad med error today

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to klone's topic in Patient Medications

    I'd absolutely fill out an incident report. If that patient had allergies that weren't listed in the chart, not good. The opportunity for process improvement, better outcomes exists. Thank goodness...

  10. What makes a nursing contract binding & official?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to Kit.Kat's topic in General Nursing

    Wow... Yes, absolutely go with the advice to contact the DOL. I don't see how that contract is enforcable in any way from what you've shared. It does provide an answer to something I'd wondered about...

  11. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    As I've stated: 1. Perfectly okay with life rebuilding post incarceration in reference to this person. Actually I think it's great. 2. Not okay with someone who would take that plunge (ending another...

  12. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    The facts are a matter of public record. I spend a great deal of time this am reading them. And it was in fact cold blood. She even chased down her victim to finish the act after she tried to...

  13. Convicted of murder as a teen and now a nurse

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. So, can I surmise because she is female, white, and privileged she shouldn't have consequences for murdering another human being in cold blood? Should we then do that for all teenage...

  14. Eliminating the LPN position

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to WCSU1987's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    FWIW to you this is my perspective 14 years later... Looking back, I had similar options here in AZ back in 2000. I moved to AZ to directly care for an ill parent, and was an EMT at the time. The...

  15. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'd likely be better served biting my lip - but I'll bite: How is it exactly that you differentiate between Men and males as you say? I can't help but to

  16. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Might be best to reconsider... If your mind is dead set on not continuing, that makes sense. Although I recall my own OB rotation, and how horrible it was. Honestly, I thought both myself and the...

  17. ASN With Second Degree

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Students

    That's bad news for me. /sigh My plan has been to do the ASD, then take the BSN through an online format. Then move on up the ladder to master's level. At 43 my sports related and patient related...

  18. Physician Bullying of Nurses Reaching Epidemic Levels

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    I was referring to the Slate.com article. My apologies if that didn't seem

  19. Physician Bullying of Nurses Reaching Epidemic Levels

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    It's embarrassing in my opinion to take the cited article more seriously than satirical comedy. One only need view the author's other works. Perhaps not even go much further than skimming the...

  20. 2015 Current LPN Pay

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to ipraz4him's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In preparation for September (Fast Track ADN Program) I recently accepted a full time spot. Pay is 25.00 hrly with 1.00 shift differential. It's a hit from my registry/agency work in straight...

  21. Work schedule?

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

    They are not common anymore in my neck of the woods. I've known a few nurses who do them. But it's usually a special arrangement with management/admin because they are actively going to school for a...

  22. Nurse who survived Ebola is suing the hospital

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to anon456's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From the article: "...Before Pham's flight to Maryland on Oct. 16, she said, a doctor wearing a video camera under his protective hood came into her room and said he was filming her for educational...

  23. I feel uncomfortable doing this

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I believe that depends on many factors. Where I reside, and where I work, references weigh in heavily for whether or not you are getting into either that particular school or place of employment. At...

  24. Record Expungement delay

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to tbrymmml's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would recommend applying. Make sure you have all of your records lined up. You may be asked to present them. State Board for sure, but it's possible that the Director you speak of may want to...

  25. I feel uncomfortable doing this

    AdamantiteEnigma replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I respectfully disagree. Writing a letter of recommendation is a serious matter. In doing so, you are placing your professional reputation on the line in reference to another individual. If anyone...
