3. From full time to per diem

   ShaBBy23 replied to pretty70's topic in Geriatric

   i am in the same predicament except the hospital where i work at has been canceling me for an entire month now. this might not be an issue for an rn who does per diem as a second source of income, however for me right now it's the only source of inc...

7. Per Diem Not for me

   ShaBBy23 posted a topic in General Nursing

   hello everyone, i have a question. is it just me? or, is there more per diem positions than permanent ones? frankly speaking, i'm not happy about having to be a per diem rn because: 1. i'm always floating around. i like consistency with my...

9. Hospice

   ShaBBy23 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in Hospice

   @HollyHobby, I completely agree with you. I too feel guilty about prolonging someones suffering. This hits so close to home for me. Four years ago my dad was diagnosed a terminal illness. The family all saw how he was declining everyday. Ironical...

15. help with iv starts

    ShaBBy23 replied to PCU_RN9's topic in General Nursing

    another thing to remember is to never let the patient see the fear in your face about inserting an iv because to me, piercing someones skin and vein is invasive. as an rn the last thing you want to do is hurt your patient. if they are able to see t...
