  1. Weird Pay Policies

    VNurse30 replied to Yazminfarooq's topic in General Nursing

    Glad you ultimately had a good outcome. Tons of folks take a temporary pay cut for the long term benefit. SNFs /nursing homes may start out higher, but the pay plateaus. I took a pay cut going from...

  2. LPN Supervisor Would Not Let Me Call Doctor

    VNurse30 replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    When does any supervisor (LPN, RN, or whatever) have the right to be the decision maker here? You have a license to protect. The pt is hypotensive with altered mental status. Call the provider for...

  3. CoWorker using a patient's medication

    VNurse30 replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh boy. Sounds like she wasn't punished enough for your liking. Go ahead and take it further. Just know that you'd better be perfect yourself from this moment

  4. Facing my second major cardiac surgery in 3-years :(

    VNurse30 replied to ctsurgeryscrubrn's topic in Operating Room

    Hope everything went

  5. Code Blue: Just Trying Figure Out What Happened?

    VNurse30 replied to Binz's topic in General Nursing

    Even though pt had a blood glucose of 60, I would never have given her anything to eat. The MD handled that issue with the IV dextrose. Never feed an unstable patient in the ED. You never know who...

  6. Need Advice on Accused Medication Error

    VNurse30 replied to Shannon Dull Dunlevy's topic in General Students

    OK, I read the update and I'm getting more back story. Ask for help instead of saying that you can't do something. And never challenge your instructors like this. Especially over a non life or death...

  7. Need Advice on Accused Medication Error

    VNurse30 replied to Shannon Dull Dunlevy's topic in General Students

    How would you know whether or not someone had rinsed it out after the med administration? That could've been water there for all you knew. That being said, I feel for you. Correct me if I'm wrong but...

  8. Would you do that? New grad dilemma

    VNurse30 replied to Twinkle007's topic in General Nursing

    Go to the LVN interview. Odds are that they need an RN and they'll probably offer you the RN position. If not, you can make connections with the manager. Ask questions about available jobs on other...

  9. Jahi McMath "What does it mean to die?"

    VNurse30 replied to Christy1019's topic in Nursing News

    Ugly rumor and nothing more. Supposedly someone saw her being fed a hamburger in ICU. There's no official documentation of such a bizarre thing. Just rumors in internet forums. Some people have...

  10. Jahi McMath "What does it mean to die?"

    VNurse30 replied to Christy1019's topic in Nursing News

    I also found this article to be very thought provoking. Would I want to be kept alive like that? Not so sure but I think we all should have the choice for ourselves and our families. I don't know what...

  11. Jahi McMath "What does it mean to die?"

    VNurse30 replied to Christy1019's topic in Nursing News

    I think it's pretty disgusting how some people on here have latched on to silly nsubstantiated rumors like "They gave her hamburger" and resorted to taking trash about the family. It's a distraction...

  12. problem with my DON, help!

    VNurse30 replied to nurseredd's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    At no place in my comment did I get snippy with you. Interesting enough, you reacted to some pretty standard advice with an attitude. I can only imagine how you reacted to your DON. I never once...

  13. problem with my DON, help!

    VNurse30 replied to nurseredd's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm mostly a lurker but I had to sign in to respond. First of all, LTC patients typically don't get sent to the ER because of behavioral issues. Your DON is upset because you are overreacting to a...
