I started a new job and I'm still orienting to this particular hospital. I have a patient I've been caring for this week who has BPH. He retains pretty badly and there's an order in place to straight cath for any PVR over 450cc. The order states to check pvr q 12 hours. Well, I checked him at 2:30 and he voided 100cc and retained about 400. I didn't cath him for multiple reasons, including that the order calls for 450. The urologist wants him to feel the urge to go which is why they won't put a foley in (which I have asked for). He has no distention, and no discomfort. I told the nurse coming on the situation and if he stated any discomfort, check him again. Well, the nurse training me (who I wasn't very impressed with) yelled at me as I was leaving and demanded that I go and cath him before I leave. I told her why I didn't feel comfortable doing that and she got all ****** off and said, "well then I'll go do it". I said, "that's your call... I am going to follow the orders as written."

Was I wrong??? ]]> General Nursing Discussion guineachick http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/i-went-against-440182.html http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/comprehensive-list-accelerated-440181-new.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:15:03 GMT *Alabama* _http://www.auburn.edu/academic/nursing/academics/pro_prog/pro_ad_req.html_ ...

Currently I'm a third year student at Orange Coast College. In my first two years I wanted to become pharmacist then on the third year(this year) I decided that the career is not for me. I picked Computer Science at first and actually took one class and I do not like it at all. Afterward I've been looking into Nursing career ever since(6 months already). I don't want to let me parents down and I feel like the longer i stay in this school the more they disappointed in me.
Just today, I typed in "I hate nursing" in google just to check out the cons for this career and to my surprise there are so many that actually starting to worry me. I've already do many research and here are some of the cons I've found:
1. Underpaid + Overwork.
2. Really really really stressful career.
3. People don't give you respect (coworker + patients)
4. Screw up schedules (ruined your social life)
5. There are many more but it seems like my thread is getting long...

I have a few questions for Nurses.
1. DO you like/hate your job? why?
2. DO you recommend nursing career for students? why?
3. DO you regret going into nursing career??
4. Is it true that there are variety of nursing jobs in one hospital?? for example if you hate your area/floor you can pick a different one in the same hospital and have totally different experience??

Please please answer these questions from the bottom of your heart. I'm so depressed right now. Right now I just want to rip my ***** out with my bare hands cuz I don't feel like I'm a man anymore. I don't know since when have I become this indecisive and so low in confidence. ]]> General Nursing Discussion thongvo89 http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/starting-doubt-nursing-440179.html http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/starting-doubt-nursing-440177-new.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:07:32 GMT Here is a short summary of my situation.

Im an LPN working for a city hospital in the NY tri-state area. I have been working in Behavioral Health now for 3 years. Recently, I have had to stop my studies at an accelerated LPN-RN program b/c my hospital supervisors have been unable to accomodate my school schedule. So with that being said I wanted to take a leave of absence from my city job and possibly take up visiting nursing while I finish up my accelerated RN program. Does anyone know of any visiting nursing agencies that hire LPN's in Brooklyn/Queens area? Also are there any LPN's out there that can share their experiences on what to expect from being a LPN in the visiting nurse field. ]]> General Nursing Discussion psych04 http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/lpn-visiting-nurse-440170.html http://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/annoying-showing-determination-440164-new.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:53:12 GMT I applied to a new grad program which is very hard to get into.

I received an email stating my submitted portfolio has been submitted to the hiring manager at the hospital of my first choice. If chosen for a phone interview I will get a call by Nov 30th. That was very good news because it meant I made it to the next step and the manager will actually see my portfolio. I do not know how many applicants were sent to the nurse manager; so I am still concerned that my portfolio will not stand out and I want to do everything I can to make it known that I WANT THIS JOB MORE THEN ANYTHING!!!!!!!!

Question: Should I go down there on Monday and introduce myself and hand the nurse manager my professional portfolio (it contains things like achievements, recommendations and my resume among other things)?

Is that annoying to the nurse manger or showing determination that I want this job?

I would not take more than 10 minutes if his/her time. I tried to call HR and find out the managers name, but they will not give it to me. I was originally going to send out an introduction letter instead of just showing up.
