    Giving perscription drug and not documenting it.

    nursel56 replied to akascrubs's topic in Home Health

    Best practice doesn't change when we're in a home environment though there have been a few times when patients have asked family members to give things we don't have a current order for. I would call...

    What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    nursel56 replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You assumed that some of the nurses in this thread object to the legitimate or hospital-sponsored uses of cell phone technology even though not one of them said so and many people made the point...

    Signing out medications for my manager.

    nursel56 replied to OlaHospiceRNBSN's topic in Patient Medications

    It's a crock. And an entire regiment of red flags for

    What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    nursel56 replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The same analysis can be applied to those who write complaining about "cell phones and nurses". Let us assume that someone starting a thread on this board about this topic is not talking about the...

    Heads up to all nursing students, from recent grad.....

    nursel56 replied to lilarox's topic in General Students

    One thing I really liked about lilarox's post is that it comes from a recent grad instead of one of us who graduated during the Carter Administration and thus would have more immediacy and perhaps...

    MA vs. CNA in a hospital?

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

    Neither have I. Although it gets somewhat confusing with the proliferation of new "tech" jobs such as Certified Medication

    What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    nursel56 replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nobody is saying cell phones should go away. Ill-mannered people using cell phones should go away. It would be nice if common sense about these things prevailed, but with some people it doesn't. My...

    What to do when your patient adores you?

    nursel56 replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

    Perhaps people are reacting to the odd phrasing of your post. "They loved me" and they adore you -- the way most people understand language it would be abnormal for a person to feel love and...

    Alternative Therapies with Western medical model

    nursel56 replied to boywork's topic in Patient Education

    I think non evidence-based treatments are fine but the taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for them. The implication that companies who sell allopathic remedies are so spiritually evolved they aren't...

    Help... Should I stay in this program?

    nursel56 replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    I'm just curious to know if your school is on the approved list at the CA BON, and if so what their pass rate is. Anyway, here is a Free Full CNA video course which was part of this thread on...

    Was I wrong to talk back to my supervisor?

    nursel56 replied to umharhar's topic in Home Health

    I think you should go ahead with your plan to apologize, even though I think your supervisor blew the incident far out of proportion to the offense, which as I understand - is that you asked them...

    Nursing: Then and Now

    nursel56 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I think the whites caused patients to view the nurse as one who has authority. That's so out of fashion now it's almost as quaint as standing up to give the doctor your chair. Nurses aren't allowed...

    Nursing: Then and Now

    nursel56 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Just had to come back and add another one --- "then" you waited for ☞6 weeks☜ for the results of your "state boards" - (pre-cursor to the NCLEX) so I get amused when people freak out if they...

    New Nurses

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

    Reading between the lines a little, but if any of the nurses you work with inferred that you asked a stupid question well then they are just a bunch of dummy-heads because "anoetos" and "stupid" don't...

    Do you take vitals on babies who are sleeping?

    nursel56 replied to chariot's topic in Pediatric

    This is really interesting to me because I haven't worked inpatient in a long time, but I worked at a large children's hospital, too. We took axillary temps on just about everyone, which took...

    FIRED I didn't even see it coming , Please advise

    nursel56 replied to Ms.MayaRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with Crunch, itsmejuli and Good Morning Gil. They won't rehire you but the way I see it their honest feedback might be the only potential value you take away from the whole mess, and maybe a...

    I am appalled.

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

    Well you sure dodged a bullet there! Although I doubt she thinks you're stupid. Liars lie to everybody hoping to snag that small number who actually take the bait. Sort of like direct mail. It's...

    Nursing: Then and Now

    nursel56 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Some of these may have been mentioned . . . Laundry would send up a gigantic stack of unfolded cloth diapers. All the nurses pitched in to fold them when we had a spare minute. Disposable diapers...
