  1. Happy Nurses Week!

    We have stuff going on for a week. Today was an ice cream social, tomorrow free breakfast or lunch. And there is Nurse of the Year stuff next week. And we will probably get a pretty little pin to put on our badges. Happy Nurses Day to all!
  2. Assaulted and written up. (vent)

    Where's the part that you called your Union Rep and recieved treatment/documented your injury?
  3. Would You Call Her Back?

    Well if your choice is sitting at home wondering about if you ever would have gotten a job at that hospital, then it's no choice at all. Call!
  4. Student Loan Debt?

    Don't do it!
  5. Need a vent -- disabled parking

    Why don't you put something permanently on her record. Go to administration at the school and file a formal complaint for harassment. Also file a complaint with the security dept. at your school. I totally hate it when someone uses handicapped parkin...
  6. Getting married and want to go to nursing school

    Put off getting married if it affects your financial aid. Who wants to start a marriage with large loans? So depending on whether you're under your parents financial aid package, your own or will have the mix of you and your new husband, figure out w...
  7. Yes if you have the money. Maybe you can get the AF to pay for it.
  8. Nursing Agency driving me over the edge

    Tell her you are going on a long vacation and you will call her when you get back. Then don't call her. And don't answer her calls. I would say quit, but I'm just not understanding your unemployment thing, if you're working how are you collecting une...

    Nope.
  10. I don't mean to whine...

    I'm going to have to agree with some of the above nurses: Get out while the going is good. And don't whine or tell others about your plan. Just start interveiwing and sending out resumes. You have almost a year of ICU experience and that should count...
  11. Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!!

    Anyone know the per diem rate at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhatten? TIA
  12. JERK DOCTOR!

    What is it I missed? It seems to me your Charge Nurse put the knife in your back when she told him she told you to start the induction earlier, that is after she told you to tell him to start it at 0800. Besides, why would you be surprised at a docto...
  13. RN new grad UNPAID residency program

    Wow what a crock. A win-win for both the schools and the hospitals. I can't believe Kaiser nurses, who are unionized would go for this. And what about student loans starting up 6 months after graduation? Are those payments able to be delayed? What is...
  14. The Impact Of Emerging Technologies on Med Errors

    In my hospital we have just instituted a system called CareMobile, which seems very much like the above MAK system with the barcodes. According to the powers that be, it has already cut down on "near misses" or med errors by 50%. I think this is also...
  15. What is your first hint that it is gonna be a rough shift

    When you walk in and the night nurse before you says " God bless you because nobody else will!" Then you see one of the other nurses being carried off on a stretcher.
