  1. Suicide screening for all is not needed

    beekee replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    If you read the screening questions off the computer in a monotone voice, then the questions are probably not that useful. However, I look at my patients, sit next to them, and ask gently. You'd be...

  2. PRN or Quit all together

    beekee replied to LonghornChic's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to consider FMLA. I think you need to be with the employer for a year before it applies. You can use FMLA to help care for your husband, I believe. I'm definitely no expert on FMLA, but...

  3. Med errors

    beekee replied to Mleilani's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yes, using less than or greater than symbols can be confusing: however, if you knew what the medication was for, you would have hopefully thought twice about whether to hold it. In other words, why...

  4. What's the best job to have in Nursing school

    beekee replied to Scarson4's topic in General Students

    Some other ideas: 1. Tech at a drug/alcohol treatment facility. You observe drug administration, administer breathalyzers, collect urine samples, monitor activities, etc. 2. Home health aide. Similar...

  5. How to deal with colleague

    beekee replied to Sarah2018's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hoping someone notices that you are ignoring them is immature, unprofessional, and unlikely to garner the response you want. I doubt that I'd really notice someone ignoring me. I am too busy and...

    beekee replied to Ana664's topic in General Nursing

    Home health? If you speak a language other than English, your language skills will be attractive if the agency has a case where the family speaks that language. Long term care, dialysis,...

    beekee replied to Dadrie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

  8. Can't get a job

    beekee replied to Dadrie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Your resume needs work. A lot of work. I realize it's probably formatted differently, but it's difficult to read, full of errors and generic. Why do you have an AA and an AS in nursing? It looks...

    beekee replied to Dadrie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Did your classmates get jobs? If so, where? Have you been applying to those types of

  10. Choosing a unit

    beekee replied to LJR89's topic in General Nursing

    I'd check what kind of patients you'd see in the observation unit. At my employer, observation patients are generally stable and are discharged within 24 hours. There are a lot of patients who are...

  11. Mother of 6 Lost Nursing License X 2 and Job

    beekee replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    The exclusion list is probably the OIG exclusion list. And this story is why you should never proceed in a disciplinary action without advice from a lawyer well-versed in licensing matters....

  12. Success with going back to old career?

    beekee replied to psychRN136's topic in General Nursing

    But, hopefully, they interview you and then learn "the truth." By that time, they are somewhat invested in you. I also came from a vastly different career before nursing. I've spent most of the last...

  14. check my work for this IV question please

    beekee replied to btf4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What about the 10.5 ml you added to the 50 ml bag? Unless you dump an equivalent amount out before you add it. Honestly, I don't know cuz I don't have to reconstitute

    beekee replied to btf4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    "About 11 ml" isn't going to cut it. You have 2 mg in 21 ml. You need 1 mg so how much of the 21 ml do you

  17. check my work for this IV question please

    beekee replied to btf4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For the three doses, you wouldn't use 1 vial. Depending on policy, you'd probably mix it up each time you gave it and discard the extra. Does that

  18. ABSN or Should I not go to nursing school?

    beekee replied to wiggly201's topic in Nursing Career

    You failed out of a for-profit ABSN in the first semester. Perhaps a slower pace would be more beneficial than another for-profit

  19. Should I accept a SNF position as a new grad even though this is not the field I want?

  20. Success with going back to old career?

    beekee replied to psychRN136's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure many will disagree with me, but have you tried leaving nursing off your resume? You can simply say you left accounting for personal reasons and now you are ready to return to it. Many people...

  23. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    beekee replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever. I generally ignore "rules" that cannot be enforced. I shall poop where I please. If confronted, I will deny it to my death. The manager can't prove anything, unless I clog the toilet. I...

  24. Dream Job

    beekee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I see so many posts about a "dream job," which typically exists at a place the poster does not currently work. How does one decide that a job is your "dream job"? You've never worked there. Often,...
