  3. Sleep Cycle

    Straydandelion replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    allnursing.com and a few others *shrugs*.. occasionally a show on tv can put you to sleep. Try sleep foods? There has been a couple of times I stayed up all night, gave up drank coffee and fell right...

  5. Getting out on time

    Straydandelion replied to Bandaid08's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my opinion there are "good" days, patients relatively stable etc, and "bad" days where it will quickly become obvious that you won't get out on time. I am pretty happy getting off work within the...

    Straydandelion replied to makes needs known's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  7. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    Straydandelion replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think the justification is there in saying someone goes into nursing for a paycheck yet wouldn't be compassionate as a nurse. There are quite a few I imagine go into nursing for the...

  8. Half brained management

    Straydandelion replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I am surprised they say nothing about the patient rooms being filled with the

    Straydandelion replied to Fancy Face's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I fully agree! Why did the supervisor not ask the CNA why late or ask did she/he try to find you to get report? There has to be support and from the top..possibly suggesting certain rules you would...

  12. can a nurse refuse to give vaginal cream to a patient?

    This puts it on the patient to apply the medication.. to be more specific "allow patient to apply own lady partsl cream after teaching" (sorry wasn't clear

  13. can a nurse refuse to give vaginal cream to a patient?

    Straydandelion replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would talk to the Doc and get an order to "teach patient how to apply lady partsl cream" ..if there is a problem with the patient applying, get a different cream with an applicator if need to. I...

  14. Why do I feel guilty?

    Straydandelion replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    Because you answered the phone instead of screening your calls *teases*. I hope your back feels better

  15. Re-entry RNs

    Straydandelion replied to Just Dave Will Do's topic in General Nursing

    I am not familiar with the licensure issue assuming others that post will be..or you have advise from your state board. Once license is reinstated however some hospitals are willing and able to give...

  16. Recovery has a new meaning?

    Straydandelion replied to dnnc52's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am old fashion also then... making a hospital into a hyped "store" situation makes light of the serious problems of illness and what every worker there is for i.e. to help and support the...

  17. Need advice about my aging grandmother

    Straydandelion replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Not to give any advise or diagnosis, but aricept is mainly given for Alzheimers...early stage though a family member would need to call the doctor and talk with him/her to be sure. There is tons of...

    Straydandelion replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    The sports stores make an elastic support sock not as good as TED's but look nicer if want to try

  19. Would you have said something?

    MIL.. mother in law... SNF.. skilled nursing facillity.. DH..not sure exact words but am assuming husband. (sry I see lots of answers after I posted LOL ) Yes, you need to be a patient advocate...

  20. After getting a BSN, what's next?

    Straydandelion replied to crux's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, this whole post seems a little "off". Why isn't your wife posting at least one post, and I REALLY don't understand getting a license but not having it...was it taken

  21. Under what circumstances can a nurse LEGALLY refuse an assignment?

    Straydandelion replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I actually had something similar happen once, either "work the assignment or leave" (I felt it was an unsafe assignment not going into too many specifics) I chose the latter, so officially wasn't...

  22. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    Straydandelion replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Just a guess, but if the PTB actually know these two groups take lunch early, it could be a simple fact that kitchen/dietary staff have been "downgraded" or some let go and don't have enough help to...

  23. Saint Francis (Memphis)

    Straydandelion replied to southernbelle08's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    A little late posting, so you may have your answer but last I knew, they didn't. As far as I know the hospital is a little old yet still very viable. It has changed hands a couple of times and now has...

  25. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    Straydandelion replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    No Joke? You are ACTUALLY furnished a meal!! It would be a GREAT day if actually got a break... even if I did get one, who had time in 30 minutes to go through the line and get a meal (or actually...
