4. The "bully" nurse

   dsoginer replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Relations

   I need everyone's wisdom. I took a job at a behavioral unit 2 yrs ago. First we have an absent NM. He tells us to "fight it out" if we have a problem with a staff member. He hires his friends and one of the big, burly male nurses is his best frie...

   dsoginer replied to madwife2002's topic in New Nurse

   If you look up the word "expert" or "expertise" you will find that studies consider someone an expert after 10 YEARS or 10,000 hrs at their field. I read in a Nursing Journal that you become comfortable at nursing around 2 yrs. I am at that point....

   dsoginer replied to madwife2002's topic in New Nurse

   You have brought up a subject that not many will bring up. ALL nurses have problems with SOME nursing assistants. It is like sharks with the new fish. If your boss is worth his/her salt they will handle the problem (and I bet it will not be a surp...

   dsoginer replied to TealScrubies09's topic in Louisiana

   The best advice I can give you is to take the Hurst review before classes start. I had received this advice but since I had never heard of it AND our Pharm teacher's name was "Hurst", I assumed (never assume as a nurse) it was something she would do...

    dsoginer replied to TealScrubies09's topic in Louisiana

    If you search for OLOL you will come up with so many threads on this program. I graduated in 2008 from the Tulane/OLOL program and went to work at West Jeff for the past year. I did not feel as prepared as I had hoped, however every nurse has to re...

    As an RN and a mother; one of my children had a fever of 104.2 due to a virus. The ER personnel put her in a tub of ice and water. Her fever went to 108 and she quit breathing. I will never put a child into ice and water again.
