1. nursing a calling?

   suebella replied to hTx87's topic in General Nursing

   I feel that nursing is a calling for me, I''m sure not in it for the money. The pay is ok, but I know there are jobs that pay more and you don't have to put up with a lot of things that nurses do. I really enjoy helping people and meeting new people....

3. Late for report

   suebella replied to Hoozdo's topic in General Nursing

   This is one thing that really upsets me:angryfire . I work 7p-7a and I usually arrive 10-15 minutes early to make sure I have everything ready to start working as soon as I get my patients and receive report. The thing is, most of the time my charge...

4. Barcode Meds/Patient

   suebella replied to CarVsTree's topic in General Nursing

   I work at a hospital where the meds, accuchecks, and most of our supplies are barcoded. This works out good most of the time, except when you have something that won't scan. When this happens it can be a real pain.

5. Where do you keep your nurses notes?

   suebella replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in General Nursing

   We do all our charting on the computer. I didn't think I would like it at first, but now it would be hard to go back to paper charting.

6. What's your story? Why did you take up nursing?

    suebella replied to NYERNURSE's topic in CCU

    I have 10 years ICU experience and have taken and passed all of the same test the RN's have to take in order to work here. I was the first nurse in our facility to complete the ECCO class required here to work in either ICU or PCU. I take all patient...

    suebella replied to Amyjosonata's topic in LPN/LVN Students
