  2. Anyone know about Labor Laws?

    LovingLife123 replied to iowaALF-RN's topic in General Nursing

    At my facility, you cannot take PTO time on your weekend to work. PTO is a benefit and is distributed per each facility's policy and procedure. That very experienced nurse is wrong. Each state does...

  3. Jumping in with a MAJOR career change!

    LovingLife123 replied to Riverwader's topic in General Nursing

    And a CNA and nurse are two different things. A CNA does not have the stress of the nursing job. Yes it's physical and involves patient care, but it's not a nurse. To me the only reason she would...

  4. Can I be a nurse with a mental illness?

    LovingLife123 replied to Edt997's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It shouldn't be a problem if it's treated and under control. Without proper treatment it's probably going to be a no. Nursing school itself is so stressful I couldn't see how you would do that...

    LovingLife123 replied to Mayday#1's topic in Nursing Career

    Why do you want to come back to nursing? It seems like you job hop to me, just by saying you've been doing retail off and on. I didnt know a whole lot of people after living in my current state for...

  7. Jumping in with a MAJOR career change!

    LovingLife123 replied to Riverwader's topic in General Nursing

    I'll just caution you, as something I notice on this site often. Many people start out like you, they are worn out on their careers, they want this feeling of being fulfilled everyday, therefore they...

  8. Pressure infuser bag questions?

    LovingLife123 replied to medtechguy's topic in General Nursing

    I mainly use them for art lines. I've used for blood once. It doesn't warm the blood in the least. It goes in quickly enough temp isn't affected. I used on a patient that was in need of it quickly...

  9. Nurse opinions on "Birth Rape"

    LovingLife123 replied to EKUGRAD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are correct it's about control, but raoe is still not appropriate in this situation. If you have never been raped, you have absolutely no idea. A woman not having appropriate expectations in...

    LovingLife123 replied to marionbrianne's topic in General Nursing

  11. Communication Discrimination

    LovingLife123 replied to WinterLilac's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I grew up on the east coast and now I live in the Midwest. I get it from all angles now on my accent. Doesn't bother me a bit. I laugh. I figure it's a unique mixture and it certainly makes...

  12. Communication Discrimination

    LovingLife123 replied to WinterLilac's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I call everybody sweetie. Everybody. As do most of my coworkers. Especially when we know the patient is in horrific pain and we are trying to comfort. For me, it's a term of endearment. And it...

  13. RN's collecting copays

    LovingLife123 replied to michelleil's topic in General Nursing

    I would not either. She needs to hire an MA if she wants that done. But then of course an MA can't do what you do. So she's getting her cake and eating it too. We are not trained in insurance and...

    LovingLife123 replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

    I give myself lovenox injections twice daily and it's always to go in the abdomen. Are you talking true heparin or

  15. Nursing Student From Hell

    LovingLife123 replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a little surprised at all the fail her posts. She's a student. A student. I feel like some of you have way high expectations of students. Have you asked why she is hiding? It could be she...

  16. New Grad rejected from First Hospital

    LovingLife123 replied to LindseyLou14's topic in General Nursing

    Your explanation for firing was way too long. By the end of that explanation where you say you were going to anyway to focus on school, it sounds like it was your fault and you were so focused on...

  17. Nursing Student From Hell

    LovingLife123 replied to DWelly14's topic in General Nursing

    She's a student, not a nurse in orientation yet. I could get your frustration if she were a new grad that was an employee, but she is a student, of course she's nervous and scared. I'm surprised...

  18. I am a new grad and can't wait to get out of orientation!

    LovingLife123 replied to CRC12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Now that you have elaborated a little, I see where you are coming from, but trust me, they are easing you into the sicker patients. After three weeks, your preceptor should be backing off a little...

    LovingLife123 replied to Cruisin1313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can I ask why you want to become a nurse? I would honestly look for that office job if you are concerned about hours. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be with your family. It's just that...

  22. If you go to a hospital get ready to YELL

    LovingLife123 replied to BSN16's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, the person that wrote that article obviously doesn't understand stroke protocol and how a stroke center deals with them. As I was reading the OP, I was thinking to myself that carotid...

  23. Nurse opinions on "Birth Rape"

    LovingLife123 replied to EKUGRAD's topic in Ob/Gyn

    To me this would only happen in an emergent situation to save the baby's life. A woman can say she doesn't want treatment for herself, bit for her unborn child? Hitting a murky area there....

  24. "Breast Is Best": A Mantra to Promote Infant Health? or Stigmatizing Adage to Guilt Moms

    LovingLife123 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in General Nursing

    I guess when I see proven evidence not links or they think it reduces SIDS but aren't sure why, I'll be more apt to listen. My sister had her baby about two years ago and was struggling with...
