  3. Humiliated and scared

    vintagegal replied to Overthamoon's topic in General Nursing

    You are a human. Period. And you are NEVER obligated to undergo such an ordeal. I would have just left, and retained counsel. NEVER let any employer hold you against your will and subject you to...

  5. Vaccine error

    vintagegal replied to mimi2930's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like this was missed by EVERYONE and not just you. As a clinic manager and provider, I keep a file of expiring meds that are clinic dispensed. My company also has a policy to prevent these...

  7. Best and Worst Patient Interaction

    vintagegal posted a topic in General Nursing

  11. License Being Reported By Admin

    vintagegal replied to Lina561's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like she has too much time on her hands. Maybe if she was helping the staff instead of threatening them, the residents just might have better health outcomes. What goes around comes...

  12. Is nursing burn out really that bad?

    vintagegal replied to nursingcand's topic in General Nursing

    I've said this to nursing students, and I'll say it to you: if you are looking for a career to make big time money, nursing is not and never will be the career for you. If you can...

  13. We can't eat

    vintagegal posted a topic in General Nursing

    Nurses: we can't eat nor can we pay our rent. Why is it that inflation has caused such an uproar in our economy that a basic apartment 5 years ago costed 630 dollars and now it's upwards of 1200, 2200...

  16. Rude Clinical Student

    vintagegal replied to 3319684's topic in General Nursing

    You've already lost. This should have been nipped in the bud in the beginning. I've sent students home for things like this and they have had to make up the clinical day. Expectation is set,...

  17. Have you ever wanted to see a coworker fail?

    vintagegal replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    There is always the proverbial what goes around comes around. Do not wish ill on your neighbors.

  18. New Job Recommendations

    vintagegal replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Thank heavens I was praying for this day. So glad to see your out of there! Hey, do something different. What about home health or hospice? Then you're really only responsible for

    This is the float your boat

  20. Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

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

    This shows the complete and utter boredom of Americans. We are so bored that we amuse ourselves with spending thousands of dollars to watch inappropriate videos of a couple. I can think of a million...

    As a provider I've diagnosed retinal detachment after ER cleared a woman who was diabetic and had an eye injury. I sent her to ophthalmology immediately for an emergency appointment and thank goodness...

  23. Falsely Reported by Disgruntled Former Employer: What do I do to protect me?

    vintagegal replied to StefanieM254's topic in General Nursing

    If they reported you to board and had you fired when in fact the drug test was negative, you have a case for wrongful termination, defamation, etc. Against a corporate office you will win bukoo bucks....

  24. What should be done to mean nurses?

    vintagegal replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    What should be done? Nothing. We can't control other people. They will seal their own fate with their foolish behavior. As I've previously posted, it's on us (because the only person we can control is...

  25. Will other nurses look down on me as a direct entry MSN with no experience?

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

    The better question is will you care what others think? I am a very young NP with a doctorate. I know what I have to bring to the table. What other people think is their own affair and none of your...
