  1. So 39 weeks is the full term cut off now?

    greenerpastures replied to perfexion's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I haven't even look at anything OB since school, but the one thing I always remembered was "your due date is always +/- two weeks from the "date" they give you." Therefore, if someone is induced at...

  2. PLEASE HELP! fired/demoted RN still on orientation

    greenerpastures replied to jrobbin44's topic in General Nursing

    For what it's worth, in NY, you can't work as a tech with the RN license as it's considered working "below your scope". Once most places find out you have an RN license, they won't let you tech or...

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

    greenerpastures replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Juvenile records are normally sealed once the person had done their time depending on the state and whether your lawyer was smart enough to make sure that was part of the plea/conviction. Even if you...

  4. Help! I have to precept a new grad who already knows it all....but not really.

    greenerpastures replied to GOMER-RN's topic in General Nursing

    If the person has HR on speed dial, why not WELCOME them to sit in on your little discussion. Might make him realize HR is on the side of doing what's in the best interest of the hospital, not the...

  5. New Nurse Grad Blues.... : (

    greenerpastures replied to FLNurseGuy's topic in Florida Nursing

    Did you ask the lady how long she'd worked for the hospital? In today's day and age, wanting a 3 year commitment to a job is ridiculous. People move. People change jobs. I always find it funny that...

  6. How personal do personal statements get...

    greenerpastures replied to TexTart's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Given that most people seek mental health services because they have a "dysfunction", I think working in the sex store could be relevant. You helped people identify what the "dysfunction" was and fix...

  7. Advice on creepy doctors?

    greenerpastures replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Personally, I would politely tell him "If you touch me again, I'm going to be forced to defend myself." He's battering you every time he touches you, you have every right to defend yourself from a...

  8. pain meds while working?

    greenerpastures replied to TattedRN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE - just a thought - but what about asking the pain specialist about a long acting nerve block or something else that might provide more long term relief? The technology for...

  9. Florida Hospital Orlando Now Offering INcentive Bonus for Overtime

    greenerpastures replied to Preeps's topic in Florida Nursing

    That's it? By the time they tax that 300 bonus, you'll see about 170 of it. That hardly seems work it. The extra money from the OT is great, but if you can pick it up anyway...why bother with the 6...

  10. The Fat One

    greenerpastures replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I saw the best thing the other day. It said "I have fat. Fat is not who I am." Basically, being fat is just one aspect of a person, not their defining quality in life. Sadly, in our society, it...

  11. Relocating during 1st year

    greenerpastures replied to dylank's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Give the minimal amount of notice necessary by HR policy to preserve your rehire potential- 2 weeks or 4 weeks is generally the norm. Sorry, but in the end, no work environment is loyal to you. I've...

  12. Record Expungement delay

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

    Not sure what state you are in but you definitely want to check with your state BON before you even start nursing school. Some states won't even consider you for a license if you have any domestic...

  13. Deliberate sabotage?

    greenerpastures posted a topic in General Nursing

    Recently, our "manager" has been deliberately going behind people to remove a "mandatory object" after rooms have been set up for days to see if the staff is checking the room every shift. It could...

  14. Dissatisfied RN

    greenerpastures replied to Viictoriaann's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you need to do travel nursing so the element is always changing. A large ER with multiple traumas sounds like a good place for you too. Good

  15. Deliberate sabotage?

    greenerpastures replied to greenerpastures's topic in General Nursing

    To answer a few questions : 1. It is removed permanently until you "find" the issue. 2. I appreciate the comment about "what if someone borrowed something in a hurry?" I have done this during a...

  16. Forced to resign, new grad with only 1 year of experinece.

    greenerpastures replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    If you have a contract, ask if you can transfer departments. If not, it's probably best to make them fire you as that usually terminates any repayment you'd have to make because it was THEIR choice...

  17. New Grad RN can't find a job

    greenerpastures replied to morganv's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you are willing to move to NC and make a 2 year commitment, it appears this hospital is hiring all the time. Cape Fear Valley

  18. Ventolin or Advair. Which comes first?

    greenerpastures replied to mlimoges's topic in Patient Medications

    Team 2. Open the airways first, then give the long acting that is meant to "settle" to do its

  19. Cheating in an FNP program

    greenerpastures replied to elise1180's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was thinking the same thing Loo17. I hope Elise1180 isn't here real name - might have ticked off a lot of fellow cohort members. (Not that I condone

  20. What's your dress code at work?

    greenerpastures replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    I'd love to see the EBP that shows color coding helps. We have a color coding system where I work. I introduce myself to patients, tell them I'm their nurse, with my name. It's also written on a...

  21. mandatory flu shot

    greenerpastures replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Dinah77 and turtlesrcool, I was merely trying to give the original poster relevant information on what my hospital was doing to answer her original post. No need to be condescending in your remarks....

  22. mandatory flu shot

    greenerpastures replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    1. We have been told our work will go to mandatory requirement next year. Mask is not an option. Flu shot or fired/let go for noncompliance. 2. Flu shot is 23% effective this year - that percentage...

  23. Getting report during change of shift

    greenerpastures replied to CTnewgrad826's topic in General Nursing

    I can say where I work, we only get report from the ER nurse if they've done the admission assessment. Otherwise, it's just a piece of paper. The bed could have been assigned to the patient 3-4...

  24. Furosemide

    greenerpastures replied to brown rice's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Sounds like a homework question to me. Current BP/HR, Bun/Creatinine, as well as Potassium levels. Now you tell me

  25. Charge nurse needing suggestions!

    greenerpastures replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Perhaps just getting the house supervisor to back you up, just once, to send someone home who is being insubordinate, would help your situation. At least they'd know you meant business. It might...
