I use both Facebook and Twitter, and here is my policy. I don't ever post protected health information or air my employer's dirty laundry. Other than that, I reserve the right to post whatever I want, whenever I want. If my employer can't handle it, ...

I would not contact the BON until you speak with a lawyer. Anything you say or do can be used against if there is a formal complaint. Are you sure they did not send out a letter prior to this one?

Great you have another job. Then tell me what the point of your rant? Do you really need people on the internet to tell you to change jobs, when you are unhappy with the one you have? I know what you meant by that paragraph. Our issue is with you u...

What do you mean by doing sexually immoral things. And how are the effecting you? And did you use retarded as an insult? I would expect alot more from a healthcare worker. If you don't like your job, quit. It's that simple.

I think you should wear business attire. You can never dress to professional.

I would check the roommate for lice. If he or she has has nits or if you find a louse, might as well keep them in the same room. Otherwise I would give the patient a private room, if possible. Be sure to wash and dry all of their clothes, bedding, to...

Tell them you're drunk. Works for me every time.

Personally, I think a new grad with no medical experience, should get at least 6 months of close supervision. However the amount of orientation you will get will depend on the company. When I took my first job in LTC, I only had two days. In retrospe...

An ethical dilemma is when you have two moral imperatives and they are in conflict with each other. For example, let's say you are broke, would you steal bread to feed your family? I believe most nurses will encounter several before they retire. The ...

I work in home health and I could not imagine doing my job without a mobile phone. It provides me with access to my E-mail, Calendar, Calculator, Stopwatch, Drug Reference App and much more. When I worked in a SNF, I always carried one on me, despite...

Quite frankly, I've never liked the idea of putting patients in special gowns or marking their rooms to indicate that they are a fall risk. That kind of information should be in the chart or on the 24 hour report sheet. Personally I believe that it i...

We don't know what really happen in nursingaround's crazy story, so it might be a little premature to be deciding if a rape occurred. I just pointed out that "good people" don't commit rape. Alcohol or hormones are no excuse for this, no matter how d...

You admit to saying "silly things," so you can't be surprised that people are turned off by some of your posts. I am going to agree with this. In my opinion, I think you have crossed some boundaries, as evidenced by the fact that you see yourself ...

That is a common belief among healthcare workers, but it is a false one. When there is a survey at your home, administration does not have to produce any incident reports to the state. However, in the event that the facility is sued, either by a priv...

Do you know how offensive you sound? "Good people" don't go around raping others. It's not a simple mistake. I'm just astonished that you rant against the evils of marijuana or porn, yet you whitewash and make excuses for this crime.

If you're in any situation where you come across a potential rape victim, you should contact the authorities immediately. At this point, it's out of your league. If it's recent, a nurse's goal would be to assess and treat any possible injuries, prese...

What do you mean, what is your role? Are you really serious? If you have a girl in your office who believes she might have been rape, call the police. She needs to go to the ER and have a rape kit done on her. You're a school nurse and you don't know...

Maybe you should get your BSN and teach nursing.

Don't worry, it's a valid question. I am fairly certain my current employer is aware of my transgender status. They had to run my background check which required that I give my previous name. Also at the time, I was hired, my license still had an M. ...

If she is A&Ox3, understands her situation, and does not appear to be in any immediate danger, I would not try to force her to do anything. If you two are struggling and she gets hurt in the process, she could possibly claim abuse and you won't h...

If you really think about it, society is moving in the opposite direction that you think it is in regards to pedophilia. In the early 19th and 18th century, you could be in your thirties and marry someone who is 14 and no one would bat an eye. Try ge...

I know what you asked me. I really don't know how you can be so ignorant of our marijuana laws. But if you don't believe me, here is a link where you can look up the drug laws in different states. State Laws If you take a few moments to peruse the s...

Wow, you are completely off base. Do you really think our society will ever embrace pedophilia? While, I do believe pedophiles are "born this way" they don't deserve any of the same rights that LGBT people have. The major difference is, when I am wit...

Good question. I think whomever discovered the incident should feel out the report, but I would consult your company's policy and procedures. Did she put anything in the nurse's notes? I would also advise your wife, that the next time, something happ...

I don't think I would have reported you to HR, but I do think you were out of line. I could see where someone may have thought you were rude. If you think about it, How is it any of your business how she got the name? I was not there, so I don't kno...
