  1. Patient filed a sexual harassment complaint. HR wants to talk to me

    vintagegal replied to The0Walrus's topic in General Nursing

    Never put yourself in a compromising position to be accused. However, if this is psych, this could just be a psych manifestation. nobody would be doing their jobs if they dismissed this accusation...

  2. Kicked out of Nursing program

    vintagegal replied to Naseberry's topic in School, College Programs

    I have a feeling this has nothing to do with a recapped needle. Depending on the situation and where you work, a re capped (clean) needle would not result in this action. What’s the worse of two...

  3. How do you guys do it for so long?

    vintagegal replied to guest1173715's topic in General Nursing

    There are lots of people out there on the internet claiming to be heiresses, supermodels, celebrities.... ah I think they are dubbed “influencers”. Just move on, they will get themselves into hot...

  6. How do we prevent Nurse Practitioners from undervaluing themselves?

    vintagegal replied to MentalKlarity's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in the DNP program currently working on my AGNP. I politely disagree with you. I think it depends on where you reside. The rural area in which I live makes it hard to get to my state university 4...

  7. Nurses on Match.Com

    vintagegal replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    You can’t look to others to make you happy, it comes from within. The minute you stop looking is the minute someone fantastic will come into your life. Take this time for

    vintagegal replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Something is fishy

  12. Critical Thinking - Need Help!

    vintagegal replied to jennsrn's topic in General Nursing

    You will never lose your license alerting the physician. You will lose your license if you fail to recognize an issue and fail to move it up to a higher level of care. So what if the physician gets...

  13. I think I’ll be fired and I really do need to vent my fears

    vintagegal replied to direw0lf's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for you. HR should have been involved from the start. I would have made the call, let them know you feel uncomfortable at work with your charge making offensive comments about you and your...

  14. Experience treating patients with Munchausen Syndrome

    vintagegal replied to AdelaideSole's topic in General Nursing

    I think we often take our medical knowledge for granted. The public at large does not know a fraction on health conditions that nurses do. For example, you could have chest pain radiating to left arm...

  15. How Much Time Do I Have?

    vintagegal replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    As a hospice nurse, I have seen many people who have passed quickly and others who have been actively dying for days up in to the weeks range. It really just depends on the person, and the agony the...

  16. ADN vs BSN salary

    vintagegal replied to MRaza's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hospitals that are magnet status or attempting to become magnet only hire BSNs. The training is only one semester longer, it gives you a competitive edge over other applicants. I have had friends do...

  17. Is it possible to get a RN job with a 2.92 GPA?

    vintagegal replied to violetday's topic in General Students

    Nobody asked me about my GPA. As far as I’m concerned if you passed your classes and the NCLEX you are safe to be a nurse unless proven

  18. Non bedside nursing.

    vintagegal replied to Nursinggirl747's topic in General Nursing

    While working in any job, keep your eyes open for opportunities. I was a DON at LTC for a little over two years and got very burnt out. Because of the outstanding reputation I had inside and outside...

  19. Got Fired From My First Nursing Job

    vintagegal replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone with a first aid/ CPR cert is taught how to use an epi pen. Plus they all have instructions. When in doubt, remove yourself, and phone a friend. I ask other nurses all the time when I’m not...

  20. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    vintagegal replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Currently I am in the DNP program working on my NP cert. I will say the first thing we are taught when greeting a client for the first time or any time, we introduce ourselves, confirm their name and...

  21. Question about Medical Knowledge

    vintagegal replied to premurse's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses treat the human, physicians treat the disease. Nurses are trained on treating the response to the illness, which has many physical and psychosocial facets. After all, a nurse was the one who...

  22. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    vintagegal replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I think it’s non of my business as an RN to diagnose trans vs not trans. If they want to be addressed with male pronouns, I would address them that

  23. Being treated like I have the plague

    vintagegal replied to raindrop's topic in General Specialties

    Aside from most likely being on a do not rehire list, why mention what happened in the interview? I would have skipped that altogether. Additionally, why would you want to be apart of this health care...

  24. Yale Nurse Replaces Fentanyl Vials with Saline

    vintagegal replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    This situation is tragic for everyone involved. First let me be clear that this is an egregious act on behalf of the nurse who is entrusted with caring for clients and safeguarding health care...

  25. How many chances do you give a job before you quit?

    vintagegal replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on the job. LTC: you can only do it for about 2 years before you burn out. Because of the staffing ratios, lack of equipment, crazy families, and the unreliability and sketchiness...
