  1. Old nurse won't retire

    Aunt Slappy replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    So, are her colleagues supposed to pretend that she's carrying her weight and that working with her is fair when those things are clearly not true? They're supposed to play make believe to support...

  2. Old nurse won't retire

    Aunt Slappy replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This. If you actually care about her, you will pull her aside and tell her gently and respectfully that she needs to keep her retirement date in October. Perhaps suggest that she keep coming to the...

  3. Hate CNA Class - what should I do?

    Aunt Slappy replied to BaronHarkness201's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't judge actual CNA work based on your class. I purposely chose a private for-profit CNA training school (after researching their first time pass rates on the skills exam which was #1 in the...

  4. DON discontinued CNA shift change reports

    Aunt Slappy replied to tcarb014's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Stupid. CNAs report different things to each other than nurses do, because their roles and responsibilities are different. And frankly, as the nurse I have enough on my plate without adding a game...

  5. i just got a job that dreams are made of

    Aunt Slappy replied to starbabe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'd be pretty pissed if my husband was shooting me down when I am that thrilled about something. Why can't he just be happy for you? Good luck and I hope it's everything you want it to be. My...

  6. Is this LTC facility trying to take her license?

    Aunt Slappy replied to Spouse_of_nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You were saying? The fact is that the TOS does not disallow non nurses from posting here. If it did, you'd have to kick every MA, CNA, EMT, tech, and student off of here. There are a few posters...

  7. How to leave hospice?

    Aunt Slappy replied to thunderrain's topic in General Nursing

    First, stop applying to new grad training programs. That's a waste of time and effort, because you don't qualify for them. Next, figure out what you actually want in your next job. Bedside or not?...

  8. Recent ABSN graduate

    Aunt Slappy replied to Frekledan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What part? Gonna tell you right now you have a vastly better chance of landing a job if you go somewhere

  9. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Aunt Slappy replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Forced diversity is false diversity. And I thought gender was just a social construct unrelated to biological sex anyway, so why bother with this at

  10. Is this LTC facility trying to take her license?

    Aunt Slappy replied to Spouse_of_nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    None of that states that non nurses are not allowed to post on these forums. Try

  11. Recent ABSN graduate

    Aunt Slappy replied to Frekledan's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why not just find something PRN while you're waiting. PS why would it take months for you to be ableto take NCLEX? I graduated from my program December 2015 and was licensed before the end of...

  12. Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Aunt Slappy replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You mean your kid not dying or being permanently damaged by serious illness isn't incentive

  13. Is this LTC facility trying to take her license?

    Aunt Slappy replied to Spouse_of_nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Show me a quote from the terms of service that states non nurses are not allowed to post on these

  14. Is there a "Nurse Shortage" Lie?

    Aunt Slappy replied to New_Man_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh honey, you should've joined us in flyover country ages ago. You'd be a seasoned nurse with tons of experience by now. By the way, how much student debt have you racked up getting all these degrees...

  15. Is this LTC facility trying to take her license?

    Aunt Slappy replied to Spouse_of_nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Actually, this is a public forum where anyone may post. He clearly identified himself as a non nurse and has not violated any rules. Don't be rude. Or she changed her story to make it look less...

  16. Team work interview question

    Aunt Slappy replied to Guest1059175's topic in General Nursing

    That's when you know you're dealing with some sketchy CNAs. When I was a CNA, I jumped at the chance to round with my partner and work together. So did my colleagues. You can get so much done so...

  17. Is this LTC facility trying to take her license?

    Aunt Slappy replied to Spouse_of_nurse's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sounds horrible but no nurse who values her license and her freedom hands over her log in and med cart keys to anyone. How long has she been a nurse? Because she should know better than that. I...

  18. Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Aunt Slappy replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You called pro science people with no patience for dangerous antivaxxers "jihadist" but my mildly ironic response to you seems angry?

  19. Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Aunt Slappy replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Picture me ululating tribal style while repeating that antivaxxers do not belong in health care. Yeah, all the sanitation, clean water, and dental care must be why India recently eradicated

  20. Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Aunt Slappy replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Oh yeah, she has been fired! TXBON, your turn! Texas Children's Hospital nurse fired after posting Houston toddler's positive measles results on Facebook |

  21. Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Aunt Slappy replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Update, she's not allowed to see patients, investigation is underway. I hope she gets fired AND loses her license! Texas Children's Hospital nurse investigated for Facebook posting as Houston toddler...

  22. Texas Children's investigates RN for social media HIPAA violation

    Aunt Slappy replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Antivaxers do not belong in nursing.

  23. Aggressive family member

    Aunt Slappy replied to Jerez's topic in General Nursing

    Call the code for combative person and have security deal with him. You do not touch me in anger EVER. And doing it while I have a needle in your kid's arm is blindingly

  24. Nurses help me

    Aunt Slappy replied to milo65's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Illegally taking someone else's prescription is not an "error." Knowingly taking even an OTC sleep medication six hours before the start of your shift reflects not only a complete lack of judgement,...

  25. RN to LPN

    Aunt Slappy replied to nas12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    My license is not your consolation
