  1. Persistent Falsification of Data

    invisiblewounds replied to lpncharlie's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hmm...is patient safety not her business? A patient would not be receiving adequate care if the data is wrong. Care is based off the data. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place...

  4. Am I Being Bullied?

    invisiblewounds replied to wendey's topic in General Students

    Firstly, can there not be levels of bullying? Secondly, while idle chit-chat is not a necessity, kindness IS. Simply being kind and saying a few more words beyond "yes", "no", "fine" doesn't mean the...

  5. Where do we keep our stuff?

    invisiblewounds replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    Familiarize yourself with the cellphone policy. No means no. I find it a little irritating seeing students/staff standing in the hallway or even in a patient's room texting away. As a student you are...

  7. So confused, help me out please. Pre-nursing

    invisiblewounds replied to JedaM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think nursing programs are competitive whether you go the CC route (ADN) or university (BSN). They are in my area, at least. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from...

  8. Heat and LTC facilities

    invisiblewounds replied to motherof3sons's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Aw! The residents always love a treat like that! I miss LTC. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod

  9. Husband doesn't understand... advice?

    invisiblewounds replied to LVHI_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  10. Harsh nurses

    invisiblewounds replied to binzy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Okay, so what does how much they make have to do with anything? Especially in relation to your post? "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can...

  11. How well do you deal with vomit

    invisiblewounds replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I will gladly clean BM all day long if it meant never ever ever ever cleaning up vomit. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod...

  12. Is This a Difficult Patient,or is it a Genuine Concern?

    invisiblewounds replied to Isis Phoenix's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was thinking anxiety, as well. But, shouldn't there would be other findings in the assessment r/t anxiety? I experience SOB, increased HR, sweating... OP - I posted this on your other thread but...

  13. Is This a Difficult Patient,or is it a Genuine Concern?

    invisiblewounds replied to Isis Phoenix's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  14. Harsh nurses

    invisiblewounds replied to binzy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Um, what? Several of my clinical instructors "work the floor", as well as work as instructors. They also are right there to assist in any situation (Need an extra set of hands for a pt. who is total...

  15. Most challenging nursing department

    invisiblewounds replied to rose89's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently at an LTAC facility for a clinical rotation and I HATE it. By far my least favorite clinical site. Kudos to the staff who go in day after day after day... "I've saved some sunlight if...

  16. Husband doesn't understand... advice?

    invisiblewounds replied to LVHI_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My kids don't starve. My husband takes care of that. What I essentially meant was that if my spouse didn't see fit to pitch in and help on the home front, I would not put up with that. Marriage is a...

  17. Husband doesn't understand... advice?

    invisiblewounds replied to LVHI_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Come home after working 3 - 12s and have to get dinner for the kids, clean the house, etcetera? NOPE. You can bet your bippy I wouldn't put up with that nonsense for long. Even after one 12 hr, I'm...

  18. What "isn't" on the MAR

    invisiblewounds replied to ocean.baby's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Even if the facility is printing their own MARs, the meds should not be "buried". There should be med sheets, then treatment sheets, PRNs, etc. If all the med sheets are first, they're not buried. The...

  19. What gift to get for a nursing student?

    invisiblewounds replied to Bluebell.'s topic in General Nursing

    Actually, for the money, I like the Uncalendar. I learned about it here on AN. It's not attractive, per se. But I'm a DIYer, so I made modifications. http://www.uncalendar.com/overview.jsp?index=1...

  20. What gift to get for a nursing student?

    invisiblewounds replied to Bluebell.'s topic in General Nursing

  21. End Of Life Care

    invisiblewounds replied to staciyac4's topic in General Students

  23. What gift to get for a nursing student?

    invisiblewounds replied to Bluebell.'s topic in General Nursing

    Overpriced personalised planners. (I require a little more for my money than a fancy monogrammed cover on a plain old planner for 30ish bucks. But here is the link:...

  24. Should I try and become a Nurse in a Naturopathic Clinic or a Naturopathic Doctor?

    invisiblewounds replied to NenaRK's topic in Holistic

    So, just to be clear...you don't believe Big Pharma is controlling the pharmaceutical treatments we have available to us? You don't think it's all about the money for them? Just curious. Physical or...

    invisiblewounds replied to EatYourVeggies's topic in Psychiatric
