    Nurses smoking weed?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    I like the idea of legalizing it so that we can do proper research on marijuana's treatment benefits, therapeutic dosages, types of side effects and how common those effects are. Individual cases are...

    CRRT and mobility

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to dec2007's topic in MICU, SICU

    My LTACH had a lot of trached/vented/HD patients (though I'll confess to being ignorant on CRRT). There was a specific mobility protocol that we charted on q shift as to their mobility level and the...

    Don't forget the commercial!

    My father's health information

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    I said "The kind of nurse who thinks bad people (or people who did bad things) don't deserve the same protection under the law is a terrifying nurse to have in the field," and "[The] assertion is that...

    Nurses smoking weed?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Every employer I've worked for has screened prior to hire, randomly, and at the time of any incident in the facility (e.g. contaminated needlestick injury). It's not a state policy, it's a facility...

    Bullied after submission of resignation

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Marisette's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Many places have a policy that you will not leave in good standing if you don't work out your full required notice period. If that's her only job for the last 27 years, it's probably a bad career move...

    Nurses smoking weed?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't encourage me to see marijuana as safe for health professionals to

    My father's health information

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    Having negative private feelings about offenders is one thing, but defending a nurse who did something wrong because the patient was a violent offender is another. I know OP has already reported so...

    My father's health information

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    Your assertion is that unsympathetic patients don't deserve to have the same rights as other patients, and I find that a reprehensible way to govern your patient care. I have strong words regarding...

    My father's health information

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    I passionately disagree that a call for professional integrity in nursing constitutes advocating for an abuser. None of this will impact the father; what's done is done. What you DO have is a nurse...

    Nurses smoking weed?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    When marijuanna is legal, when using it nowhere near a shift won't endanger my career, and when I am down for testing whether I'll get all the nasty side effects, I MAY try it. At this point in my...

    Question for Day Shift Nurses Who Own a Dog

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    I know where you're coming from! I got through the first year with my dog by living very close to work and scooting home on my lunch break to give him a quick potty break. I made sure to give him lots...

    My father's health information

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    You don't have a legal obligation to report illegal behavior that you encounter as a civilian, no. Would I personally feel a ethical obligation to report? Yes. There should be consequences for the...

    My father's health information

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Catcar1963's topic in General Nursing

    If your goal is to deal with professional ethics, you don't need to tell your dad anything. I believe that reporting the HIPAA violation to the facility where it occurred and to a governing body (that...

    What offends you (nursing related)?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't understand beer until I had chocolate stout.

    What offends you (nursing related)?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    What offends me is the patient who answered his phone while I was trying to assess & give meds, then apologized to the person on the line when I "interrupted"

    What offends you (nursing related)?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    Edit: I take it multiquote keeps items highlighed for all eternity unless you go back and uncheck them? I'm still learning site logistics. You said "I don't know whether to be concerned or not,...

    4/16 What I learned this week: POD2 and I want my button back

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    WILTW: -I will never be able to haggle about pay. My employer did a market analysis and raised my pay nearly $2, which brings me back to what I used to make anyway. Every employer claims everyone's...

    What offends you (nursing related)?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    When you talk about yourself, you talk up your business - which could be great, but right now is little more than a twinkle in your eye. You say everyone in real life is petty and jealous and...

    BSN vs RN...is it worth the tuition difference? I already hold a BA if that matters

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Mkakids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    People have already mentioned to check whether local hospitals are hiring associate's nurses, and to check whether the colleges you're considering are accredited by nursing organizations. How quickly...

    What is your Nursing Kryptonite?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Lunah's topic in General Nursing

    We had a patient vaping the other day. I wasn't at that end of the hall, but the techs and the pt's nurse said the odor was gag-me thick. You can survive without nicotine until you're discharged,...

    Lied to in Interview

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    So much of this! At my first job in LTC/SAR I was told "this is how it is everywhere." I would not pass meds without checking them against the eMAR (there was no bar code so all you did was click that...

    Scrubs: Are Colorful Ones Unprofessional?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to purplegal's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No patterned scrub (except maybe bikini-clad ladies in martini glasses) could be more unprofessional than poorly fitting scrubs. I worked at a place that went from employee-bought navy scrubs of any...
