  1. Ever have a major crush on a doctor

    Gompers - That's it - it's the Click. I might go 4 weeks without really getting to talk to him, then either we have a 5-10 minute personal conversation or I get one his patients that I can discuss with him - and the clicks just keep clicking...*sigh...
  2. Ever have a major crush on a doctor

    Baby Chainus - you hit the nail right on the head. Tweety - you're right, I should wear make up and do my hair and loose weight for myself or at least my husband - but sometimes a girl just needs a little inspiration.
  3. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    Wow, this is a scary story. We also team, everyone wants their assignments per region. (I'll take the first 3 rooms, you take the next 3 rooms). I always struggle, especially because maybe the LPN had these pts for 2 days, and wants to keep them, ...
  4. Ever have a major crush on a doctor

    Ever know someone who has a major crush on a doctor? Then you have to be extra nice to all the doctors so it's not so obvious that your so nice to your crush doctor. Then your co-workers name 6 other doctors that they think you have a crush on! So...
  5. covering ones A double S

    Oh, sometimes if you can leave the tubing in her mailbox, help gather her supplies, help her organize, etc... This is a judgement call - walk into the patient's room, hit the call light - tell the patient the orders - when she comes in - tell her the...
  6. covering ones A double S

    Ahh, our night shift has a nasty habit of writing up every med error or incident they find. I used to take it personal - but bottom line - you are more careful when you are being held accountable. You document that you told sillynurse. Then before...
  7. some cheese with your WHINE?

    Hmmm... I used to be an EMT and everytime I stepped into the ER all I ever heard was whining. I thought - yeow - I would never want to be a nurse! But I am a nurse and I love my job. Where I work, you can tell cheese whine verses drowning in whi...
  8. Ghost in the past...

    Hey, thanks for the advice so far. I'm not going to leave it off - I'm a better nurse after working there just because I did do the nurse administrator side - I've walked a mile in their shoes. I tell you what - I will not tolerate working somewhere...
  9. Ghost in the past...

    Almost 5 years ago when I was an LPN I worked at a nursing home. It was a bad nursing home. I was given a desk job and joined the nursing administration team when I started to complain. They thought I could motivate my peers to do the right thing ...
  10. Fayetteville, NC

    Planning to move to Fayetteville, NC. Any advice noce places to work - bad places to work? Pay scale? Pt workload? How are the ICU's? If I stayed where I am now I would love to work ICU, but I know not all ICU's are created equally.
  11. Shift Work

    I only work 24hr/week so I like to work three 8's. I would miss my kids too much to work 12's. Unless I had to go full time maybe I would do 12's. But my husband travels so I need to have daycare. Daycare closes at 6PM. Most 12's work until 7PM....
  12. How would you describe it?

    I was working in ER and had to start an IV on a four year old. I'm a float nurse so I can easily beg out and have someone else do it. But I like to get different experiences, so I always try if I think I can. I also have a four year old at home an...
  13. resumes

    I am so clueless on what to write in my resume or even how to set it up - all those resumes programs don't seem to fit nursing. help! PS Who do you pick as your references - your manager or your best friend? Or the NP you know?
  14. nursing as a career

    i love being a nurse. i am really growing with my career, always learning something new. when i worked in an office there just was not so many learning opportunities. not only do i have dozens of classes i can take each month, i get paid to take c...
  15. Kwelnurse - Right on - that's what I'm saying. There's a lot of squeaky wheels out there. It doesn't mean everything's bad. To the person considering to be a nurse. If you don't want to hear it - just walk away from the gossip team and the gripe ...
