    Refusing to Sign Off On Others Assessments

    beachynurse replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    You do go and meet the patient, it's not blind. Is the paperwork filled out completely? Does it look like anything might be out of place? Were the vitals OK? Was a skin evaluation done, and if there...

    beachynurse replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    my manager simply said he’s not use to charting in the EMR because it’s too confusing, the staff said it is also. I get it because most nurses at this facility are in their...

    beachynurse replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    So here is where things get sticky. I have my own assignments. When someone else gets a new admit, the Lpn supervisor will do them, but the supervisors can’t sign off on them. Of course I get asked...

    Repeated threat relayed by elementary student??

    beachynurse replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    In true cases of suspected abuse yes. I have a friend that is a CPS worker, and she said based on the information, this wouldn't qualify as a referral and it would not be taken. She said that without...

    Repeated threat relayed by elementary student??

    beachynurse replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    In looking at the information provided, I wouldn't have enough to make a Child Protective Services referral. There needs to be visible injuries, and or some form of neglect before they will do...

    Repeated threat relayed by elementary student??

    beachynurse replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    If you look at everything you wrote, I might call the parent and talk to them. You don't really have what it takes to make a CPS report as there are no injuries to the student, and the threat has not...

    Nurse falsifying information

    beachynurse replied to NSnurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It sounds like you don't know for sure, which means you don't have all the facts. I think it would be in your best interest not to say anything. Would you want someone to do that to you based on a...

    Nurses who have been practicing 2+ years... Do you think you could pass the NCLEX?

    beachynurse replied to GammaReyMysterio's topic in General Nursing

    Bwahahaha, absolutely not! After 37 years of Nursing, and the different method of testing it would be an epic fail! Real life nursing has totally taken over, and the Nursing School way of doing things...

    Devine Segbemi, I am honestly not trying to be picky, I'm trying to give you some constructive criticism for the future. You must be a very smart student in order to graduate from high school at 15....

    Nurse lying to the BON about their past

    beachynurse replied to getanapple's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I hope that your friend is aware that those online background checks are not accurate? There might be another person with the same name and they pull the information from there simply because it's the...

    Where are my rights?

    beachynurse replied to RNAnonMisc's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm really sorry, but I really don't think that your comment was necessary. We are supposed to be lifting each other up and helping each other. I really think if it was that big a deal to you, you...

    Unregistered patients

    beachynurse replied to chrisbauerwrat's topic in Addictions

    I would personally be very concerned. If they are discharged from the facility, and no longer patients they should not be getting care unless your facility has an outpatient program. All clinical...

    Students lying about you

    beachynurse replied to Incognito-lpn's topic in School

    Now, I haven't had kids outright lie about me or the clinic. Misrepresent, yes.. But the parents, that's another story. I have had them outright lie about what one of us had done on more than one...

    Back to School Night

    beachynurse replied to RNwhohasgoats's topic in School

    I'm in a high school, so I don't go. The parents at this level are so not interested in the clinic. They just want to see the teachers and go home. I came twice and never saw a parent, so I stopped...

    Faking sick

    beachynurse replied to nursekoll's topic in School

    sigh, I wish I could just send them back to class. My kids are extremely entitled. They request to call their parents, and we are not allowed to deny the call. They tell the parents what they feel is...

    Hope for bullying?

    beachynurse replied to CShel's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you. In my first hospital job, the older more experienced nurses were just awful. If they liked you, you were allowed in "the group" if they didn't they went for your jugular. A girl I...

    beachynurse replied to futureRN09's topic in School

    Hi Mickey9700 That was some pay cut, but mentally it was worth it. I was a manager in the skilled department of a home care agency. I had worked for that company for 18 years before the move....
