  2. Who do I report this to?

    bethin posted a topic in General Nursing

  4. "New Nurses's Don't Know Anything."

    bethin replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in General Nursing

    I just went through 3 search pages and didn't find anything. I'd go through more but my internet is really slow today. Can you ask the mother where she got her info? I'm glad she apologized

  5. "New Nurses's Don't Know Anything."

    bethin replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry you have to deal with this DG. If nurses eating their young exists, this might be a good example. Also, if she's a nurse how many pt's has she killed? I'd ask her. I have never heard of this...

  6. What's the correct answer to this interview question?

    bethin replied to BillboSN's topic in General Nursing

    I would say for the situation regarding procedure that I would first speak to the employee, stating the proper procedure without sounding superior - just stating the facts. If I continue seeing the...

  7. Turnover

    bethin replied to michael79's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    What is it with LTCF not having crash carts? I did my training in a facility that had no crash cart with residents who were full codes and we were urged not to obtain CPR certification. I sometimes...

  9. Nursing assistant identified as low stress career

    bethin replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's not stressful at all. I don't know about others, but I always leave work on time, take an hour lunch sitting down, pee when I want, and I always have the time. And I think making $9/hour is...

  10. As a CNA what type of hours and money can I expect

    bethin replied to Mrfox90's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hours really depend. LTCF in my area have both 8 and 12 hour shifts. Same with hospitals. I work weekend option so I work every weekend, 2 12 hour shifts and get paid full time for it with full...

  11. What is the right thing to say?

    bethin replied to missnurse1's topic in General Nursing

    I think silently listening was the right thing to do. We had a baby that coded and died on our floor a few months ago. Baby was otherwise healthy (1 month old) that had contracted RSV. The RSV...

  12. Resume tips

    bethin replied to RN ColbyJack's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that it's Monster that has a computer program out now that you can buy. I saw it at Staples. I don't know how much it costs though. Strangely, the best advice I got for resumes and cover...

  13. How many lawsuits have you been involved in

    bethin replied to Miami NightNurse's topic in General Nursing

  14. I may not get hired because of DRUG test,

    bethin replied to deboopy's topic in General Nursing

    When I took the pre-employment drug test for my current employer I asked them if they needed my list of meds. They said no, they don't do it that way. I even had a letter from my dr (on...

  15. Hammock Therapy

    bethin posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I could only find video on this, no stories. I did learn in another video that it mimics the womb better and in turn relaxes the baby. Didn't know if you guys use it or not but still thought it was...

  16. "Insulted" a family member.....sigh...

    bethin replied to 1993RNGrad's topic in General Nursing

    I think if I was that pt I would have beat him sensless with my walker, although from the sound of it he doesn't have much

  17. The soap, the gloves or BOTH.

    bethin replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    Consider yourself lucky. Two years ago, 10 mins after I got my annual PPD my arms started swelling twice their normal size. Went to the ER thinking it was an allergic reaction to the PPD. Nope,...

  18. Preceptor Issues-Long!

    bethin replied to New ICU Nurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why do you need to apologize for crying? You weren't screaming at her and demeaning her. Generally, you apologize if you did something wrong. Sounds like you didn't. Crying is a natural response...

  19. How old is too old?

    bethin replied to Hopefull1840's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I think too old is when you have dementia, a broken hip, and spend most of your time watching The Price is Right. Go for

  20. Do you talk about allnurses.com at work?

    bethin replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I'm like cardiacRN2006. I love this site and would love to tell others about it but it's my little slice of heaven where I can blog in my journal, vent about conditions at work and stay anonymous....

  21. Nurse bashing by UK public AGAIN

    bethin replied to scattycarrot's topic in United Kingdom

    Wow. It sounds like the article is stating that nurses and lawyers are the same thing. Nothing against lawyers - I want to be one (someday). But we all know how lawyers have that stereotype of being...

  22. Call-in days

    bethin replied to shmoofins's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    My brother works in IT and gets 20 personal days a year and 12 sick days. But yet us healthcare workers who are exposed to exotic diseases get a measly 2 days (in my case). BTW, that's actual days....

  23. Call-in days

    bethin replied to shmoofins's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I get 2 days a year. But, I have an open LOA d/t Crohn's so if I call in and state I'm having pain, lower intestinal problems, nausea, etc it doesn't count against me - unless I meet my 90 days...

  24. Best places to work as a CNA in Indy?

  25. Tomorrow is the day,, Please Pray for me

    bethin replied to Jaloc's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Best of luck! Try to keep calm, breath evenly. I had a coworker whose dr had to order her a one time xanax because she has such severe test anxiety and she finally passed on the third
