    Will nursing wreck my hands?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to BookishBelle's topic in General Nursing

    I second that liquid bandage is a lifesaver! I would use it at the first hint of a skin split, and though it does need to be reapplied a few times a shift, that's a world better than rubbing alcohol...

    Nursing Arrogance

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Flowerchild6065's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Its not a new problem. I'd wager it was a year or so ago that a WILTW thread was featured - with a title along the lines of "worst smelling lady parts EVER." Fine among nurses, not so much for...

    What Do You Do When Co-Worker Falls Asleep on Night Shift?

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

    Report this nurse while that memory is still fresh in the doctor's mind. It helps to have another witness to a situation that directly compromised patient safety. I worked nights for two years and I...

    Does it matter where you get your associates?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Its very different in my state. A college that is not accredited means you have to work for a certain number of years before the higher programs will accept you, if at all, and it is much harder to...

    I can't do chest compressions (CPR) will I be terminated?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to 42pines's topic in General Nursing

    This confuses me. If a person is too small and weak to do chest compressions, aren't they too small and weak to meet the physical demands of everyday hospital nursing? My job descriptions have...

    NCLEX RN 14 times

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to sianee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Saying that a person who cannot meet minimum standards of competency shouldn't be a nurse isn't degrading you, it's saying nursing is not a viable option for you. You will need to learn MASSIVE...

    10,000 RNs Face Nursing Board Each Year!

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to jencoalsonperez's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I did notice the lack of a source, but the post's numbers, as far as I can tell, referred to California

    New RN/inexperienced nurse considering nurse externship

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in General Nursing

    My suggestion was that it will be very difficult to get adequate training and experience without committing to full-time RN employment. I stand by

    New cna cert being threatened

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to dmom85's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And yet you did. You already made the commitment to work and now you're backing out of it. Which is why you must only accept a job which matches the childcare you are able to obtain. The next job will...

    New RN/inexperienced nurse considering nurse externship

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to MarshaRabbit's topic in General Nursing

    OP, the beef with pushing inexperienced RNs through NP school isn't that you won't "respect" nurses, it's that you've never really been a nurse. An advanced practice nurse should not have to consult...

    New cna cert being threatened

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to dmom85's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not sure what your "ground area" is, but work environments don't create clogged sweat glands, and if you meant groin, that's even more so not related to work. It may not be an ideal work...

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The article GM2RN shared starts early with fictional vaccine-supporting God saying "I'm missing something…oh yes, Adam needs the DNA of a dog, some cells of a monkey's kidney, a couple of...

    Denied PTO for my marriage

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have the luxury of spending months or years unemployed and thousands of dollars on attorney fees because "I don't wanna" is my reason for not getting the flu vaccine. I don't necessarily...

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The author says these claims only apply to "Jesus peeps," and not "Nominal (in name only) Christians" or non-Christians. I don't think I'm a Jesus peep, so it doesn't really apply to my...

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    "Either it works or it doesn't." Um. As I already said, the vaccine protects against particular strains of the flu. If a resident contracts a different strain, of course the other residents aren't...

    Flu Shot or Mask?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know that LTC is a valid environment for gathering data on vaccine effectiveness. If they are all vaccinated for particular strains and someone catches a strain that is a different mutation,...

    With my employer, you'd be enjoying your "civil rights" at home on the sofa. If you don't have an acceptable (to them) reason to refuse, refusing means

    Timely. I'm not sure I've ever heard a non-healthcare workers use the word at all. It's definitely HCWs that love to abuse the word, though. "Please do this timely." Do you mean please do it in a...
