    Letter of Rec for Preceptee?

    I've written a few of these and always keep it brief complimenting their assessment skills, good rapport with staff and patients, that they deliver care with compassion, are a fast learner, etc. I...

    Ado, get well. Stars what does " the closed door of the closet is hiding" mean? Dianah, sounds like an action packed weekend. Work was one of those very annoying 6:1 ratio...

    I have lost my phone in the car several times and searched several times before finding it, so I can relate. I was at work and didn't have my phone and wasn't sure if I brought it and lost it or left...
  5. People telling you that it's two separate issues doesn't make sense because clearly you understand that. You brought it up because another poster brought it up talking about her being scapegoated....
  6. What a nice gesture. Managers probably aren't appreciated much. Managers are got between upper management demands and floor staff demands. They have to deal with complaints from patients, they...

    G'day. Joe, hope you day goes well. Ado, I hope you feel better. We're in our dry season and having lovely weather but some rain would be welcome. I guess I'm tired from working 3...

    Dianah, always nice to have something to look forward to. I woke up when I was supposed to be leaving for work, so obviously I was late. Sure was sleeping good though. I treated the tech to...

    I wasn't suggesting AA "cures" alcoholism but you can't argue that it's helped millions of people quit drinking through abstinence. I for example started in AA and have stayed sober. That being...

    G'day. Thankfully I started with 4:1 ratio. Discharged all four of them and got 3 admits throughout the day. Got it all done. I can see how the Sinclair method would be attractive to...

    Improving the Nurses' Understanding of Pain Perception

    I'm glad this is acknowledged. When a patient with chronic pain issues is injured or has surgery it is very stressful to manage them because they hit the floor in pain and we have to address this...

    Hard Decision MN or MN to MSN

    Can you get your MSN but yet still after graduation work as an RN until you're comfortable pursuing a position using your MSN? If so then get it out of the way without loosing the

    I don't know about mysterious but I've always like the cosmetic effect of darkness.
  15. My vaccinated sister got real sick with H1N1. Everyone has an anecdotal like the grandmother that smoked a pack a day and lived to 100 and the non-smoker that died of lung cancer. 54% does not...
  16. Good point and I didn't get that sick when I've had the flu over the years I've been vaccinated, and I've only had the flu a few times. All good points in continuing with being vaccinated for the...

    The Movie and TV Thread

    "Punch" was a good movie about a teen boxer training for a big match while dealing with his alcoholic father when he meets a local boy and his feelings ignite. It deals with homophobia, addiction,...
  18. Fair enough. I understand that you can get a serious injury in a car crash while wearing a seat belt. I've worked trauma. That's no reason not to wear a seatbelt. That falls into my example...

    Good morning! Stuffed peppers sounds good. Hope you have a good day Joe. I'm getting ready for working 3 12's in a row. I'm dreading it and know I did it to myself but bleh. Thought...
  20. When I think about "vaccine injury" I think of a couple of things. One is that literally billions of vaccines around the world have been given and sadly vaccine injury is a thing but I wonder what is...

    Awesome pics J22! I'm glad I make some sense. Wish it wasn't so close to me. I see my sister struggle and I saw my now deceased ex and many others in meetings struggle with it. I myself have...

    Good morning! Joe has me wondering if I would go to my aunts funeral. Sadly we haven't seen each other in maybe 40 years. We keep up on FB. She's much younger than my father and in her upper...

    Stars, your husband won't quit drinking for you. He puts lip service to wanting to quit drinking but he really doesn't want to quit in his heart of hearts. He may like the idea of quitting. He...

    Good morning. Joe, that weather is crazy cold. It will be 80 here. Not much going on today. I've washed the sheets and want to make a lentil soup and go to yoga. Have a great

    New to acute care and just not getting it.

    It will be hell, but you're not supposed to get it and your fears and concerns are perfectly. normal. You'll be fine in about a year...just kidding but not
