    Nursing Niceness

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to xdrowe's topic in General Nursing

    I do not have personal experience, but a coworker went PRN on my med-surg unit to go to corrections (county jail). When I asked her how it was, she said she got more respect from inmates than hospital...

    Feeling like the dumbest nurse on earth

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Aloe_sky's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nurses who don't ask questions kill people. It is normal to have anxiety with a new job, and to scramble things that you do honestly know. Any half-decent preceptor makes it a focus to work in a way...

    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It depends on the state. In my state it is legal to record if you are part of the conversation. But you're in deep dung if that ends up part of your evidence to management. It's probably against...

    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The thing is, I DO understand. There was a situation a few years ago (not nursing-related) where a person unintentionally sent me into a 6 month tailspin. It's a complicated story, but it started with...

    New Hire Physical

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to nerdynurse22's topic in General Nursing

    Lots more info in the link. Basically, employers are allowed to investigate whether you have a condition ("disability" is a lot broader than I used to realize) or take medications that could interfere...

    New Hire Physical

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to nerdynurse22's topic in General Nursing

    May an employer ask all employees what prescription medications they are taking? (Question 8) Generally, no. In limited circumstances, however, employers may be able to ask employees in positions...

    New Hire Physical

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to nerdynurse22's topic in General Nursing

    From the EEOC: [h=2]IN GENERAL[/h]Are the rules about when an employer may make disability-related inquiries and require medical examinations the same for employees and applicants? (Introduction) (For...

    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She's very concerned about keeping her job. If she uses a mobile phone to record audio or video inside a hospital, she could get fired. If she posts audio or video recorded in the hospital to social...

    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This pulled your story straight from very creepy to downright terrifying. He may have been scouting what car you drive so he could follow you outside the hospital. Maybe that sounds extreme, but there...

    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It takes a whole system to create a consequence-free environment for predators. Directing responsibility onto the subject of his unwanted attentions, who is in fear of retaliation should she fight...

    Nursing Supervisor is Inappropriate

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Shelby, BSN, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Passivity is, unfortunately, something that predators really like. Be clear. Be blunt. Tell him he is not allowed to touch you. Tell him you do not want his phone number and you will not contact him...

    Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    SLP vs RN: Need Advice!!

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Stephia87RN's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the SLP came at you in a confrontational way, and your response was to be confrontational as well. You told us you were medicating at the level which was needed to maintain the...

    Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    The only nurses I've seen with luxury cars are the ones who work their tails off to pay for them. Lots of overtime or multiple jobs. My 10 year old Honda and its iPod jack serve my needs just fine. My...

    Is money everything in this profession?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to WhyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm ok, I'm ok! I can't afford food, as I work for free, since I'm not in nursing for the money. Such shocking news took me down for a second due to my presently weakened state. No candles? Those...

    After wrestling through one job after another going south, and last autumn posting about tangling with an employer over a bloodborne pathogen exposure OSHA violation (series of violations, actually),...

    Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    A drug test is done after a conditional offer of employment and well before the first day of orientation, which is the only date I've ever seen used as date of hire. Regardless, it does not change the...

    Not getting paid

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Greys_l's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    A former employer often had booths at local fairs, and paid staff to man the booths. People "volunteered" to work shifts because it wasn't mandatory work. Today I was shocked to learn that when my...

    Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    None of the sources I've seen in this thread address testing before hire. Testing an employee who is currently at work in a high risk position is not the same thing as making them take a random test...

    How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    Some thoughts (in reply to other commenters, but I think the statements stand on their own without going back to dig up quotes). You cannot spot reduce body fat, with one possible exception. If you...
