  1. Calling the unit? Mistake?

    This happened to me for the 46 years I worked as an RN. One night I was almost standing in bed and trying to hang an iV bottle. My husband didn't know what I was doing. (Bad dream about work) Every night woorying about what I did and didn't do. Fast...

    We still have stickers that you place on a card. I haven't placed any stickers for more than 25 years
  4. Joint Commission is like critical in laws

    I don't think the contract I signed with my hospital states that I must speak to a group of people from a pseudo government blackmailing agency. I was hired to take care of patients. I have never in 46 years have encountered TJC, but if I do I will p...

    Husband was a cop and is a hunter so we must have guns in the house. I hate guns even though I was in the Army nurse corps where we had to qualify with pistols and m16s. I am not aware of any RN where i work that owns a gun. We are in a gloriously b...

    Joint commission and the drug companies planned this addiction epidemic. Now they have a problem they cant stop. Some states are looking to use cannabis for pain meds. legal states have had a 25% reduction in opiate usage.
  9. drug testing

    Are you kidding me? please read about cannabis.
  10. drug testing

    I always wondered if the patient has to pay for these tests that are mandated because someone gets a bug up their behind. Always wondered if they have to pay for the MRSA tests that the hospital wants too. None of this seems right, especially now th...
  11. Only Crusty Old Bats will remember..

    paraldehyde. i saw so many veterans die because of this stuff.
  12. I hate nursing

    44 years of being an RN. only did it because I didnt want to be a teacher. money was ok, never without a job, good hours for having kids. still hate it. Now I am happy that I am finally old enough to tell the hospital to go shove itself if I feel lik...

    Testing randomly is criminal. No one should ever be tested without cause.
  14. Johns Hopkins Interview new grad

    Just remember when you work there the pay is awful. They expect you to be thrilled that you work under their prestigious name. Great place to start out though, good luck. You will do fine. Their turnover rate is high
  15. Why I'm STAYING in nursing

    nothing but a JOB.

    1972........... pot
  17. Cannabis Nursing.
  18. I would put it in the bathroom for the day and go about my patient care. Anything for the hospital to blow money on instead of humans. Thankfully my hospital is too cheap for either.

  24. Taking home empty vials

    Put it in your pocket and bring it home.
  25. Nicotine Test for new employment

    I heard even the cdc is suggesting not to test for THC anymore. Back to basics. A cigarette smoker can be the very best candidate but not even considered because of a positive test. Excluding people for a massive BMI probably makes more sense.....
