  1. IDK what I am doing L&D

    LovingLife123 replied to homer_Impson's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You personally witnessed a physician not using a glove for a lady partsl exam? Also, how do you know it was an unnecessary csection? Why do you feel your particular license is in jeopardy? That's...

  2. Nurse with Felony Charges

    LovingLife123 replied to rebeccam0022's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Understand that getting charges expunged does not erase it from a background check. The arrests will still show up. That's a very big misconception on here is that it just magically disappears if...

  3. Drug testing

    LovingLife123 replied to blexxer's topic in General Nursing

    It has always been my understanding that when you get any type of federal money, your employees must be drug tested. Heck, even my husband's company has to drug test their employees to receive any...

  4. What to do?

    LovingLife123 replied to Iowanurse2016's topic in General Nursing

    So, are you planning on becoming a medical biller and leaving due to your knee? I'm guessing that is the reason for them not switching you. I would have kept that part to myself. Never tell an...

  5. Infractions

    LovingLife123 replied to HelloNurse2015?'s topic in General Nursing

    Why on earth would you have to report it to the board? It's the equivalent of a very expensive traffic citation. We don't have to report speeding tickets. Lots of nurses would be screwed and the...

  6. Have major anxiety, depression, don't really enjoy science... am I crazy for applying?

    LovingLife123 replied to AlwaysThinking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, I think if you are looking for a career to be satisfied with, you need to look deeper than just what you think is good money and stable. Ask yourself, what am I really interested in? What makes...

  7. Have major anxiety, depression, don't really enjoy science... am I crazy for applying?

    LovingLife123 replied to AlwaysThinking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I respectfully disagree with this. While yes, it is a service job, you have to understand how the body works and the patho of diseases and conditions so you know what is going on with the body. You...

  8. I failed my adult health test can I appeal

    LovingLife123 replied to 2bnurse 1983's topic in General Students

    Maybe you could if you had a pass Ming average going into the test, but you didn't. And you scored pretty darn close to your average. I fail to see how the test starting late had anything to do with...

  9. Lpn told me she works ICU??

    LovingLife123 replied to Runnergirl84's topic in Critical Care

    I would think it's a situation where hospitals do it to be able to assign more icu patients to a nurse but they have an LPN with them to do things like meds. The LPN takes on a lot more of the...

  10. Drug testing

    LovingLife123 replied to blexxer's topic in General Nursing

    I know of very few facilities that don't drug test. If they accept federal money like Medicare they have to. It doesn't matter how dumb you think it is, it is federally illegal. There are lots of...

  11. Needle stick from urine collection cup.. Patient HepC positive...

    LovingLife123 replied to Leeleeboo7's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of that. It seems dangerous to have a needle in there. You will just have to wait on those tests to come back. Your chances are very small though. It stuck you through the glove?...

  12. How to get into ICU?

    LovingLife123 replied to alli.'s topic in General Nursing

    We take the same NCLEX and have the same scope of practice. The biggest difference is the amount of general education credits or liberal arts credits needed. There is an additional math class,...

  13. Weird glove question?

    LovingLife123 replied to DowntheRiver's topic in General Nursing

    This. I have extremely tiny hands. Lol. And feet. I wear kids

  14. How to get into ICU?

    LovingLife123 replied to alli.'s topic in General Nursing

    Wondering the same as previous posters. Been in a very high acuity ICU since graduation. Went in as a new grad with an ASN. Have my bachelors now, but that meant nothing to understanding how to...

  15. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    LovingLife123 replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    Yes, it is. It's a major abdominal surgery. How do people not know this? This isn't a laporoscopy, your abdomen is cut through and opened. And many women who give birth lady partslly have terrible...

  16. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    LovingLife123 replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    I think this comes down to hospitals not having nurseries anymore and not allowing the mom to properly recover. We put the baby in the room at all times. Back when I had my children, at night the...

  17. Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    LovingLife123 replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    Have you had a kid? It's downright painful. Especially after a

  18. Bummer, didn't get into new grad nurse residency

    LovingLife123 replied to StocktonNurse's topic in General Nursing

    You should be a new grad for a full year. It really sucks that happened to you, but I know that's how new grad programs are. They give a deadline for that

  19. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    LovingLife123 replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    You think the HR depts of each hospital print a list of do not hire people and share it amongst each other? I work in a major city with 5 different hospital systems at least. With the way nurses...

  20. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    LovingLife123 replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    This post is very confusing as the story keeps changing throughout. Just because you "heard" a person was listed a do not hire over an interview does not mean it to be true. Don't listen to rumors....

  21. Anyone disliked ICU?

    LovingLife123 replied to RNbubu's topic in Critical Care

    I love icu. But realize it's much different than medsurg. As long as you are prepared for the transition, you should be fine. It's going to be kind of like being a new grad all over again. It's...

  22. Touching Pills

    LovingLife123 replied to Captain_k's topic in General Nursing

    You should always wear gloves when administering drugs. Also, you aren't pregnant yet and I would think twice about the smell of drugs. It honestly never even occurred to me pregnant or trying that...

  23. Never changed maiden name to married name

    LovingLife123 replied to LilNurseMelissa's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are making a bigger deal out if this than it

  24. Help! Need some advice

    LovingLife123 replied to rosylove18's topic in General Nursing

    You have a

  25. No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    LovingLife123 replied to Yorker's topic in General Nursing

    You are not understanding. Just as you are free to quit your job, they are free to label you not rehirable. Are you planning on applying there again? Also, please cite your "unsafe" conditions. So...
