  2. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    floydnightingale replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  3. Pre-employment THC

    floydnightingale replied to yellow_tulips's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Yeah, she admits to eating the gummies. This whole thing makes no sense. Weed is legal with a card in many states and legal for recreational use in many more but they continue to persecute people...

  4. One nurse to cover 2 locked units simultaneously?

    floydnightingale replied to Mary Block's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Get out. There's always work in nursing. If they did OK with one nurse they can do just as well with zero on

  5. BLS 100% Online?

    floydnightingale replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I retired just ahead of the Coof but by that time the BLS renewals were completely online, no hands-on beyond clicking a key, and not being of the generation that grew up on video games I couldn't do...

  7. Can nursing school be paid for by a hospital?

    floydnightingale replied to ecrowley18's topic in General Nursing

    Many employers offer tuition assistance. I was in a CD2 program, Class of 2K, and after the first semester the local medical center showed up and offered to pay for the remaining year for anybody...

    floydnightingale replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    That was the original plan but with a HR of 150 Heather refused to start an IV, can't blame her, so I registered for treatment. Did I mention that it took over 3 liters before I peed? I intended to...

    floydnightingale replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  10. The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    floydnightingale replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Here's your clarification: I knew what was wrong with me (dehydration) and how to fix it (fluids), so knowing that I skipped the unnecessary parts and if I saved anybody money it was for the insurance...

  11. The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    floydnightingale replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    There are huge disparities in the cost of care. The ER where I worked wasn't into that gouging people for $4K Tylenols but too many are. My own experience involved a night of vomiting and diarrhea so...

  13. Did this nurse behave unethically?

    floydnightingale replied to subee's topic in Nursing News

    sepsis is a medical issue, not something to prosecute people

  14. Did this nurse behave unethically?

    floydnightingale replied to subee's topic in Nursing News

    Which begs the question, what is one supposed to do with a fetus which spontaneously aborted at home? I know that hospitals have protocols but absent complications at home like bleeding or unusual...

  15. Did this nurse behave unethically?

    floydnightingale replied to subee's topic in Nursing News

    I can't imagine having enough free time that I'd think about following up on the product of a

  16. Did this nurse behave unethically?

    floydnightingale replied to subee's topic in Nursing News

    And a sideways photo at that. Sorry to digress but what's with these emails with pictures that literally take up three or more pages worth of space which has to scrolled through? Is it just a...

  17. EKG order

    floydnightingale replied to cepr4's topic in General Nursing

    time to look for a new job, there's enough work out there to not have to tolerate a toxic or threatening atmosphere and every day you work there your license is at risk due to administrative...

  18. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    floydnightingale replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If NurseGerard watched that Nurses Uncorked he has more patience than I ever will. It starts with images of wine bottles and alcohol and goes down from there and one of the hosts claims a personal...

  19. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    floydnightingale replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    still trying to wrap my mind around the concept of an ICU nurse not knowing that Versed and vec aren't the same thing searched for this speaker thing and found a news report, maybe on ABC?, that...

  20. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    floydnightingale replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised she got the one gig. Reminds me of "nursing student" Kyle Rittenhouse becoming the spokesperson for the right. How long did that

  21. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    floydnightingale replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I see 'nurse' as a legal title and since I let my license lapse following retirement I don't call myself a

  22. Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    floydnightingale replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Texas? Or Tennessee, where this happened? This what happens when people throw out vague unspecified acronyms. I can't find any source for this and can't imagine who would want to listen to her....

  23. Phasing Out ADN?

    floydnightingale replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    Not long after I started working they took on a new grad from a prestigious state university (that description might narrow it down, how may state schools are prestigious?) but he was in over his head...

  24. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    floydnightingale replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    Yes I've heard of this, it came out early in the year, but anybody contemplating a for profit school for nursing, or anything else, should scrutinize it carefully and then check again, then enroll at...

  25. The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    floydnightingale replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    Living in a city just south of Canada (that should be a giveaway as to where I am), the neighboring Canadian city lacks a minimally serviceable health care infrastructure, their nurses would rather...
