    Oh dear . .Audited for proof of CEUs and don't have

    nursel56 replied to Norma_Saline's topic in General Nursing

    That's what they do in California. The website for your state BON should have all of that information. Here if the courses you take don't have a "provider number" it's a big hassle. I recall the...

    Peds is NOT easy!

    nursel56 replied to Double-Helix's topic in Pediatric

    It was Chocks Vitamins for me! And what's up with those spoon/syringe combo goodies they sell at CVS and Walgreens? I wanted my mom to chase me around while trying to balance the nasty liquid in...

    Peds is NOT easy!

    nursel56 replied to Double-Helix's topic in Pediatric

    Kids who's parents never visit and child abuse cases are very difficult to deal with emotionally, and yes you will have the ick spewed on you just as you do with adults! Kind of a catch-22 on the...

    Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    nursel56 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There's a lot to think about in this comment. I agree that it is essential for a person just starting out to curtail negative thinking and thoughts of failure such as "I'm so dumb I'll never get...

    should i even bother with nursing

    nursel56 replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to be like that, too. You will get used to walking into patient's rooms, calling them from a waiting room and all of that in time. I spent so much time worrying about things until one day I...

    Why Is It That Everyone Thinks They're A Good Nurse?

    nursel56 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think a "good nurse" can refer to personal qualities and it can refer to skills you've learned and specialties you've mastered over the years. Usually if you have the former you'll have the latter...

    HIPAA violation or just a bad decision?

    nursel56 replied to concerned2012's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm sorry, Boston -- for what you've gone through as well as every other parent and caregiver of special needs kids who must live with the constant fear that their child will be hurt by mocking and...

    Nurse managers-Do you think tattoos look professional?

    nursel56 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Nurse Management

    That being the operative theme here. I remember my mother making a huge deal about pierced ears when I was in high school - fast forward 5 years . . .she got her ears pierced before I did. Tattoos...

    The Mockery of Nursing

    nursel56 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I understand. I think this one (hold on a sec) - yes this one spun off the reels on the first page of replies. There may have been some serious replies stuck in there here and there but I wouldn't...

    The Mockery of Nursing

    nursel56 replied to Old.Timer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ahem. . .let me just neatly step over that serious post .... I can handle fleas, visible fomites, scabies, and lice. I wouldn't even mind if a gerbil jumped out of a guy's jacket but cockroaches...

    NCLEX California BON Denied: It's Time for a Lawsuit

    nursel56 replied to nurse_daniel30's topic in Immigration Advice

    Do US civil rights laws assert the right for foreign or foreign-educated nurses to work here? I had no

    Illegal Activity by a Nursing School?

    nursel56 replied to missmina's topic in General Students

    It seems odd that they could fire a professor for sending out a mass email when he/she was set to retire anyway. But if that is the case then I suppose that would be the logical person to coordinate...

    "I would help you out with a job if I could.."

    nursel56 replied to littlekaneRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was lucky enough to start in an acute hospital, but later on worked in quite a few offices and clinics. Yes, I felt that way. Nobody actually questioned me about it, thank God. Anyway, I loved...

    doctor's office accessing of scripts

    nursel56 replied to morte's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Right. It's not about coordination of care between providers, either. Who would dispute that is ultimately a time-saver and perhaps even a way to avoid an unanticipated negative event due to...

    doctor's office accessing of scripts

    nursel56 replied to morte's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I've never had that happen at a work physical. They do a history and med rec from scratch. But wouldn't the issue be with the insurance company as opposed to the doctor's office? I thought the...

    When are you not considered a "New Grad" anymore?

    nursel56 replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    1 year after licensure or when the next class from your school graduates. If it was one year of acute experience some people would be new grads for 20 years, because they go to ambulatory, LTC, home...

    Does a CNA have to wipe butts?

    nursel56 replied to sssssaidthesnake's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh you must be referring to the butt-ay - personally I'd like to see all toilets have the butt-ay and the papier. It's only right. Do they have that in

    Need support, very depressed.

    nursel56 replied to KaseyJo's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Hugs and well wishes for you, Kasey. Not much to add to the excellent advice you've already received. Lots of us have been through or know someone who has walked through the fire and come out on the...

    Does a CNA have to wipe butts?

    nursel56 replied to sssssaidthesnake's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    sssss- I'll repeat a prior poster's question. What do you expect the job to be like? Since your first post here is a poll that really doesn't relate to your particular concerns (unless a...

    nursel56 replied to Sarah96's topic in General Nursing

    i'm glad you're enjoying the posts you've got so far but your original post sounds almost reproachful. anyway, a couple of days ago we got a new member who made a similar point. normally i wouldn't...

    Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    nursel56 replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Reading through this and other recent "you won't believe what the person I interviewed said/did/wore" threads lately I wonder if people are not told about the 'people skills' portion of having a...

    Why do people insist that there is a nursing shortage?

    nursel56 replied to MissNancy's topic in General Students

    Exactly. People always talk about "the unemployment rate", and yet they never point out that the rate in Detroit is probably not the same as it is in Salt Lake City or Newark. I'm glad there's an...
