  1. A Nurses Duty to act

    LovingLife123 replied to Mellissa81's topic in General Nursing

    Who wants to bet this is a homework question for an ethics or a fundamentals class? OP joined today with an obviously ethical question and questioning the nurse practice

  2. Pregnant and working...how do you do it?!?!?

    LovingLife123 replied to Destin293's topic in General Nursing

    I worked until 36 weeks. Swollen, tired, and cranky. I left on medical leave when I was no longer useful. I did nothing but sleep on my days off. My husband picked up all the slack at

  3. Stressed, Confused, Anxious

    LovingLife123 replied to hi_hello29's topic in General Nursing

    I guess. I'm just talking about affording a home and all that goes with life and family. I suppose if it's your first job and you have no responsibilities it's great

  4. Stressed, Confused, Anxious

    LovingLife123 replied to hi_hello29's topic in General Nursing

    Where do these nurses that make the "good money" live? People talk about going into nursing for the money and I don't see it. I don't make good money. I couldn't make it without my husband. And...

  5. I didn't cry

    LovingLife123 replied to Cat365's topic in General Nursing

    I've cried. It's ok. I cried for the patient who was shot in the head in the line of duty. I cried when I watched a husband comb his wife's hair for the last time. I cried for the son who was shot...

  6. Is late or lack of Documentation a reason for fireability?

    LovingLife123 replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

    Do you always do real time charting? It's not possible for you to change the time? I may chart my 9am assessment at 10am but I change the time to

  7. Decision Fatigue-the Struggle is Real

    LovingLife123 replied to Maureen Bonatch MSN's topic in General Nursing

    I will say, I hate making any type of decision outside of work. I don't even want to decide on dinner. It drives my family nuts. But, when I make life or death decisions for 36-40 hours a week, I'm...

  8. Essential oils in hospitals

    LovingLife123 replied to SarahRN32514's topic in General Nursing

    Freaking essential oils!! I'm so tired of hearing about them. It's called the placebo effect which is why I'm guessing hospitals are encouraging it. It cuts down on opioid usage. Since we now have...

  9. Student loans killing me!! stressed!

    LovingLife123 replied to Nurselyfe92's topic in General Nursing

    $110k is a ridiculous amount to pay for schooling. My degree cost less than $10k. And we are both RNs. But, what's done is done. By spending $110k for schooling, this tells me you might not have...

  10. CNAs sleeping on the job... What can I do as a new nurse?

    LovingLife123 replied to jessica0rae's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why is your license on the line? CNAs do not work under your license. Nobody works under your license but

  11. Verbal abuse from a TBI patient

    LovingLife123 replied to Crumityk's topic in General Nursing

    This is some of my patient population. I can tell you that pretty much all quads end up being very particular and cranky at a certain point. Is he still within the first year of his spinal injury?...

  12. Verbal orders for narcotics

    LovingLife123 replied to Geslina's topic in General Nursing

    I would not think a facility would be calling from a cell phone. The nurse at home calling would maybe have wonky reception, but the facility should not. This scenario makes absolutely no sense....

  13. SOON TO BE NURSE

    LovingLife123 replied to lexibowen23's topic in General Nursing

    Don't we all want to be home as much as possible with our families while making great money?

  14. Verbal orders for narcotics

    LovingLife123 replied to Geslina's topic in General Nursing

    You mean, in a small town a nurse has the doctor's number at home, but the nurse's at the facility don't? I'm not buying that. Even in small rural areas, facilities have to have a way to get ahold...

  15. Verbal orders for narcotics

    LovingLife123 replied to Geslina's topic in General Nursing

    This has to be a homework question. No way is there not a way to get a hold of a physician. Somebody has to be on call. I also do not know of any RN who has doctors numbers at home. A nurse can...

  16. Do you trust the organ donation process (after recovery of 'brain dead' boy)?

    LovingLife123 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Many of these comments show me that unless you work with the organ donation process, you have no idea how it works. The family I think vastly misunderstood the doctors. I work in a Neuro/Trauma ICU...

  17. Nurses' Week - Upended.

    LovingLife123 replied to evilolive07's topic in General Nursing

    I would appreciate a Happy Nurses Week and a heartfelt thank you. I'm way irritated over it being called Hospital Week and the fact I got a small water and Halloween size granola bar. It's an...

  18. Nursing home cutting corners (ex. understaffing) leads to patient's death

    LovingLife123 replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    It makeshift me so sad for how she

  19. I have a misdemeanor now

    LovingLife123 replied to Tiffani3116's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    There has to be more to this. A 14 year old is more than capable of watching children. I started babysitting at

  20. Giving last name in report

    LovingLife123 replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    Please provide the law that states I must give anyone my last name? I have never ever given a patient my last name. If there is a question with my care and a patient decides to sue, their lawyer...

  21. Giving last name in report

    LovingLife123 replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that me signing into my charting and charting my assessment should show I'm caring for the patient. Do you chart who you hand off report to while on break? Who is responsible for the...

  22. The ANA supports physician funding over safe patient ratios!

    LovingLife123 replied to DannyBoy8's topic in General Nursing

    They will obviously have to hire more nurses if ratios are implemented. And while I fully support safe ratios, I understand that means for our pay. We can't have it all. They money has to come from...

  23. Nursing and overtime?

    LovingLife123 replied to fishguy909's topic in General Nursing

    It honestly depends. If you work where there are not enough nurses OT can be plentiful. It depends on census and the amount of staff that is on the unit. Overtime is never guaranteed. Some places...

  24. Giving last name in report

    LovingLife123 replied to DaveICURN's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you need the name at all? People chart way too much sometimes, in my opinion. You can get in just as much trouble if you overchart as you do if you underchart. The system states who cared...

  25. Can night shift cause missed periods

    LovingLife123 replied to Floatnurse137's topic in General Nursing

    My fertility actually got better the older I got. My last pregnancy was textbook. Much easier than my first which was in my twenties. Maybe I'm an anomaly. It just always bugged me especially with my...
