  1. Famous person as patient?

    Firemedicmommy replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    LOL 1 set=2 people. I realized I didn’t word that too

  2. Unprofessional Conduct Online

    Firemedicmommy replied to Anon4thispost's topic in General Nursing

    Was it a HIPAA violation? Was she harassing a patient or another coworker? If none of the above applied then mind your own business. There’s a lot of ignorant nasty people that I don’t like but...

  3. Famous person as patient?

    Firemedicmommy replied to MarkMyWords's topic in General Nursing

    In my district we have 2 conjoined twins at a local nursing home. They are awesome, and have great stories to tell. We have 10 pages of separate protocols just for them. When I first heard about it I...

    “Is the coronavirus crashing anyone else’s computer? My laptop is running really slow the past couple days” Actual facebook post from a friend of mine who I love dearly but lord, she just needs...

  5. How to properly inject your lungs with Lysol

    Firemedicmommy replied to eerrmm's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I totally agree, it was the way he worded it and I definitely didn’t take it literally. However, I think it’s hilarious and enjoy making fun of it

  6. How to properly inject your lungs with Lysol

    Firemedicmommy replied to eerrmm's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Check it

  7. Am I a coward for going on FMLA due to COVID?

    Firemedicmommy replied to ML1376's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are absolutely not a coward and don’t let anyone make you feel that way. I’m glad you have a good team, but at the end of the day no one else is gonna look out for you. You are not benefiting...

  8. Open Book Pals Testing

    Firemedicmommy replied to DavidW's topic in General Nursing

    In general AHA allows the test to be open book, but it's also discretion of the facility/instructor. Our ACLS and PALS were not open book. The pretest is very helpful and I found it extremely similar...

  9. Patient Abuse/Nepotism

    Firemedicmommy replied to Ethical_RN's topic in General Nursing

    OK first off, forget your legal liability for a second. You mean to tell me this woman has left patients in the cold and rubbed muscle cream on someone's genitals and you've done NOTHING? Not only...

  10. capnography

    Firemedicmommy replied to zzyzx's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'll have to get back to you on that at work tomorrow! I think it is still a viable resource, just not as reliable in a pre term newborn. I'm just a lowly street medic, I've never been on a MICU...

  11. capnography

    Firemedicmommy replied to zzyzx's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    That's a good question. According to some studies, it seems like it's particularly difficult with sick neonates to measure ETCO2 due to the rapid respiratory rate. This article discusses pros and...

  12. Naroctics diversion...Am I going to prison? Help

    Firemedicmommy replied to whodatme's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Sorry, the previous comment was not directed at you. It was directed at a different poster who I guess had their comment

  13. Naroctics diversion...Am I going to prison? Help

    Firemedicmommy replied to whodatme's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow, really? I'm not advocating what she did, but she came asking for help and admitting she messed up. I don't see any reason to rub that in her face or make her feel worse. I understand that actions...

  14. Dade Medical college?!!

    Firemedicmommy replied to sayitaintso's topic in Florida Nursing

    My heart goes out to the student. I about cried when I listened to that girl talking about how they took this opportunity away from her. This is a garbage school that took advantage of unsuspecting...

  15. Adderall Concerns (Please Help)

    Firemedicmommy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I may be posting this in the wrong forum, so I apologize in advance. I am taking Adderall as prescribed by my doctor 10mg bid and I have a lot of worries and anxiety over this. For...

  16. Adderall Concerns (Please Help)

    Firemedicmommy replied to Firemedicmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Tex, I apologize if my post isn't clear. Let me clarify: I am on meds (Adderall) and I AM able to focus with this medication. The dose I'm on is working fine, so no, a dose increase is not necessary....

  17. Dade Medical college?!!

    Firemedicmommy replied to sayitaintso's topic in Florida Nursing

    That is insane. I'm baffled as to why someone would do that all of a sudden out of nowhere. I'm sure there is a lot to this story to come. I just feel so bad for the poor students and teachers. I...

  18. Domestic Violence: What Leaving Feels Like

    Firemedicmommy replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for writing this. I spent 3 years married to a very violent, abusive man. It was by the skin of my teeth and the grace of God I made it out. The list of things he did was endless. When...

  19. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    Firemedicmommy replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that's kind of rude. Everyone else expressed their opinion, she can't? You have the option to keep scrolling if it aggravates

  20. Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    Firemedicmommy replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a CNA and future RN as well. I'll graduate nursing school in '17 (so excited) and have worked LTC a lot. When it comes to nurses I have the same philosophy as anyone else I work for: you respect...

  21. Why are CNAs not held to professional standards?

    Firemedicmommy replied to yachterotter's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I understand what you are saying, but I don't think education has anything to do with it. Respect for the individual (and for authority) is something you should have been taught by the time your...

  22. ADD sufferer taking NCLEX for the third time...

    Firemedicmommy replied to MrPopeye's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I understand and can relate to your pain. I'm in nursing school right now and nobody understands how hard coping with ADD is. I've struggled with it my whole life and never got help as a kid, because...

  23. Traveling with spouse in tow

    Firemedicmommy replied to ierland's topic in Travel

    Xerox is one company that offers it, but there's a ton of companies out

  24. Traveling with spouse in tow

    Firemedicmommy replied to ierland's topic in Travel

    There's some "work-from-home" call centers that you can work for entirely at home, just as long as you have the equipment. And it's not area specific either. I used to do it before nursing
