  1. Power or nursing

    lyceeboo replied to ifunes's topic in General Nursing

    Ifunes, all of your previous questions to this board sound like homework assignments or nursing school application questions. There are a lot of hardworking nurses here...they won't let you take the...

  3. Lift Teams in your Hospital?

    lyceeboo replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked on the ortho/spine units of 2 large hospitals where immobile heavy pts needed q 2 hr turns. In my experience and understanding a "lift team" just means the charge RN says "lift team to...

    lyceeboo replied to maryx's topic in General Nursing

    Bingo to quote below. OP put the wrong spin on my clearly worded comment. That will not help your situation. I know what you're up against OP & my intentions were pure..I was trying to help,...

  5. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    lyceeboo replied to maryx's topic in General Nursing

    IMO....The wording is harsh and the poster quoted below may not know that changes in funding have led to a situation where acute rehab pts can be quite medically complex. BUT..NO OFFENSE taken to the...

  6. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    lyceeboo replied to maryx's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I knew what you meant. I was just trying to put in my 2 cents with a quick post...by combining something TazziRN said with your suggestion. (Should have been more specific...but I'm at home...

  9. I know this is wrong - but how wrong is it?

    lyceeboo replied to papergirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital also does random audits for HIPPA violations. But talking to Dick will just cause trouble. Where I work It's dismissal if you weren't that pts RN or the unit Charge RN on the date you...

  10. is this legal?

    lyceeboo replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree with TazziRN. I thought the first part of what she did was illegal enough but when she tried to cover it up with a fake nurses note about a fake Dr

  12. silly resume ?... certifications

    lyceeboo replied to sun_chica's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Sun Chica! As an FYI, side note...I recently learned (from an allnurses member's post) that most Rn's no longer put their license # on their resumes....d/t ID theft and nurse imposters. I...

  13. Part-time nurse

    lyceeboo replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    I'll preface this to say this is ONLY MY OPINION. I know it's not the answer you wanted but I was trying to be very honest in my reply. Good luck AND PLEASE let us know if she says yes. That would...

  14. Part-time nurse

    lyceeboo replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    My hosp has the same policy as RunnerRN. They will only let us apply for part-time if there is a position posted. However they will allow someone in your situation to go PRN, Per-Deim or to our...

  16. ethical dilemma....nurse lied.

    lyceeboo replied to snowflake123's topic in General Nursing

  17. ethical dilemma....nurse lied.

    lyceeboo replied to snowflake123's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...you're losing sleep & you know what to do. It's extremely unethical to lie about a pt fall. And a fall with a bump on the head could have future consequences for this pt. The NM will...

  18. Need Help...Physical Quailifications Standards for OB nurses

    lyceeboo replied to deehaverrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If anything bad happens to a pt the hospital lawyers will make it look like you are at fault. I've seen this happen many

  19. What is the silliest complaint someone has ever made aboutyou?

    lyceeboo replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally agree. I do think it's important to have friends and close relationships with people outside of work. And it's important to be cordial but I'm not such a great multi-tasker that I can joke...

  20. What is the silliest complaint someone has ever made aboutyou?

    lyceeboo replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  22. Kindred Hospital

    lyceeboo replied to extreme's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    Interviewed with them in Houston a yr ago. My impression was that they're only able to attract foreign RN's who often don't complain about the bad working conditions and poor pt care. Ditto janony"s...

  24. Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    lyceeboo replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    IMHO Reporting it to the NM would be better. Asking him about it could lead to confrontation, denial or retaliation. At the very least this guy is controlling and cocky. He was asked to witness...

  25. Is there REALLY a nursing shortage?

    lyceeboo replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    True. Just go into it with eyes wide open. The mandatory long shifts that often run over 12 hrs, back-breaking work, stress, liability and frequent threats to your license should be considered. You...
