  1. Tough point in my life

    Oceanpacific replied to BearFeet's topic in General Nursing

    You seem like an insightful and practical person. So here is a practical piece: Take leave NOW. At present you can choose to stop working and decompress. If you are worried about your career,...

  2. Inappropriate Charting

    Oceanpacific posted a topic in General Nursing

    I try to be careful what I write in documentation about patients. My guiding principle is to "chart as if the patient were going to read it." Upon occasion, I have read documentation written by...

  3. Inappropriate Charting

    Oceanpacific replied to Oceanpacific's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, that thread looks like a gold

  4. Supplementing my income

    Oceanpacific replied to michelle202's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like the obnoxious Call My Nurse app that was discussed here recently. This is a bad idea. Stay

  5. False testimony

    Oceanpacific replied to Jere2911's topic in General Nursing

    Dmann, From your recounting of the events, I am not sure what time period you were present for. The initial order at 1300? Overnight? Or when the seizure

  7. Paid Vacation Time

    Oceanpacific replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    Catcarelli, Could you have misunderstood them? Perhaps they offer only 2 weeks per year now and in 5 years you will receive an addition week per year of

  8. Getting back into nursing.

    Oceanpacific replied to amandakayern's topic in Retired Nurses

    How many years of nursing experience did you have before your hiatus? If you had at least a year of experience I don't think a 2 year break is a big deal at all. Your skills are pretty

  9. Trouble with nursing

    Oceanpacific replied to ShanteMurray's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, it is hard to evaluate writing skills on a post that you may have written in haste. On first blush, there is a lot you could do to better express yourself in writing. There are people...

  10. I feel like Nurse Jackie

    Oceanpacific replied to HkCNA's topic in General Nursing

    It is a difficult situation. You have become an island at your workplace. There is a lot of truth in the risks of being separated from the herd. Having an education that far exceeds that of 99.9...

  11. Attorney contacted me about lawsuit

    Oceanpacific replied to forgop's topic in General Nursing

    I am reading it as the OP is feeling like he may become a

    This is

  13. Help! How do I study these gigantic chapters!?

    Oceanpacific replied to Godizmydad21's topic in General Nursing

    I think you will find that you will not be reading the entire book. You will be assigned specific chapters and your syllabus will list those chapters. Good

  14. Caregiver sibling abusive to bed-ridden grandfather

    Oceanpacific replied to millmick30's topic in General Nursing

    The Commuter, I appreciate your thoughts. In this case though it would seem that the grandson is foisting himself on the grandparents, has moved in and won't seek employment. He has every right NOT to...

  15. Caregiver sibling abusive to bed-ridden grandfather

    Oceanpacific replied to millmick30's topic in General Nursing

    I think we may have to agree to disagree. The freeloading brother isn't providing any care and has nothing to get a respite from. He has been overworked playing video games. It is reported by the OP...

  16. Is going straight from nursing school to nurse supervisor a good career choice?

    Oceanpacific replied to Theloving100's topic in General Nursing

    People have been known to take whatever job they can get in a poor economy. Is this ideal? No. In just about every war we have been in, tens of thousands of nurses have arrived in new environments...

  17. Job searching tips?

    Oceanpacific replied to Shelly7913's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't list your clinical rotations on your resume. Every nurse has completed clinical rotations. Change "upmost" to "utmost" A year of relevant clinical experience starts after you are finished...

  18. Caregiver sibling abusive to bed-ridden grandfather

    Oceanpacific replied to millmick30's topic in General Nursing

    Millmick30, since you are unable to care for your grandparents due to your work and school obligations, you shouldn't be living with your grandparents either if you don't pay them rent. With you and...

  19. Caregiver sibling abusive to bed-ridden grandfather

    Oceanpacific replied to millmick30's topic in General Nursing

    To millmick30. This has me riled up. Do either of your grandparents have lucid moments? What do they want? It sounds like there is money involved and free room and board for your brother and I am...

  20. Help! I need to quit my first nursing job after 3 months

    Oceanpacific replied to meggers13's topic in General Nursing

    I pretty much agree with you. However, I think this employer is so desperate that they are likely to try to get her to come back in some really underhanded way; like saying she will be with another RN...

  21. Help! I need to quit my first nursing job after 3 months

    Oceanpacific replied to meggers13's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think you were going that way. It's just that I think it is so important that you do NOT give them any information which suggests you are medically/ mentally unable to practice. You are just...

  22. You are NOT allergic to...

    Oceanpacific replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good rant. First thing, it is terrible for nurses to be asked to manually enter this data; not a good use of their time and it also carries a high risk for data entry error. I'm completely with you...

  23. Help! I need to quit my first nursing job after 3 months

    Oceanpacific replied to meggers13's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, missed a big piece. DO NOT give them a note saying you are medically unable to work. Just say you are leaving the position because it does not provide you with the support you need as a new...

  24. Help! I need to quit my first nursing job after 3 months

    Oceanpacific replied to meggers13's topic in General Nursing

    The job is killing you. Don't go back and suffer any more. Plus I would imagine they have guessed that you will not be back. Don't worry about the medical note thing and don't volunteer it to a new...

  25. Guess I should change my name now.

    Oceanpacific replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Nursing

    Tiny tweak. How about Pixie4RN? The "for RN" part is good, and it makes you seem like a political candidate as
