    Touching blood without gloves

    Nascar nurse replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Nursing

    OP, Again, I'm very sorry for your condition. You have been dealt a rotten hand. I do not believe the other nurses are being negative or taking a sledgehammer to your dreams. I think they are only...

    New nurse

    Nascar nurse replied to username33's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Very good..I'm glad you learned from this mistake. It is somewhat concerning that you have already made a mistake. You just have to slow down and triple check yourself each and every time. Some med...

    Patient Scenarios/Critical Thinking

    Nascar nurse replied to vg1003's topic in General Nursing

    But you didn't initiate a discussion. Your directions were to write 1-3 paragraphs. Start a discussion. Trust us...we all have enough opinions to help you along and will willingly do so. But,...

    Patient Scenarios/Critical Thinking

    Nascar nurse replied to vg1003's topic in General Nursing

    Patients dying

    Nascar nurse replied to nesje30's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow...that would freak me out to the point I would've had to leave, go home and have a beer. Many years ago the dieing resident in my LTC was my grandfather-in-law. My husbands side of the family is...

    I really wish I had LTC experience

    Nascar nurse replied to Vtachy1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ok, but it's still like writing a book - where do you want me to begin. Trust me this topic of survey issues and reimbursement is an endless topic. Can you be more specific in your remarks as far...

    Doubting being an RN b/c physical problems

    Nascar nurse replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I wouldn't put much hope in finding a position like this (don't mean to be negative, just realistic). This is a very important job in LTC as if effects their reimbursement rates as well...

    I really wish I had LTC experience

    Nascar nurse replied to Vtachy1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I could write a whole dang book. I'm curious why you want to know these specific things. Odd for a new person to worry about reimbursement and survey when they don't even know their own job yet....

    Nascar nurse replied to pdsm's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am not an OB nurse but thought I would open the thread and read it just so I could chuckle at another prima donna ninny. Well I did chuckle - but how refreshing to find someone so down to earth....

    DNS/DON question

    Nascar nurse replied to pixie120's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Sometimes it is not what you say, but how you say it. It can keep people from listening. Love the saying "Say what you mean but don't say it mean". Anyways - I think I would be tempted to let a...

    Inexperienced DON

    Nascar nurse replied to bobbi119's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    My question is why do you think you will be put into immediate jeopardy. If you recognize you have that serious of an issue you need to prioritize and get THAT issue fixed. Use whatever QA tool you...
