Maybe this was a patient request. Was this before or after a pelvic? What kind of unit is this anyway? None-the-less I have never been asked to administer a douche.
Read, Read, Read, and as Jules A. stated learn how to test. Nursing exams are not like any test you have ever taken. Welcome to the world of CRITICAL THINKING (trying to find the most right answer of several right answer's) it's really quite botherso...
Try a different area, Med-Surg irritated me, I moved to the ER and love it. Try something like OB, it was the only semester that did not rack my nerves while in school. The patient's were generally well and easy to care for.
We have a break room: sink, refrigerator, tv, closet, and coffee maker. The only time I have sat in there for more than 10 minutes is for report or a staff meeting. I Generally eat lunch in there, standing up, and for less than 10 minutes. It should ...

Don't sweat the small stuff. Amuse yourself by watching these whiners and complainers, and make a mental note to never let yourself become one of them. Go to school, do the work, make good grades and pass the boards. Let these idiots **** off the ins...

I too have experienced the same problem. I spoke to my unit director, she offered a great solution, "tell them if they do not like your decision, to come see me!". It actually worked quite well, after hours I would give them her number and ask them t...
What, your an EMT and you do not feel you have the experience needed to be an ERT. You could easily be trained on hospital protocols and ERT duties. It seems to me that you would be light years ahead of most nursing school applicants for that job.
Are you sure that there are no personality problems here, or any other reasons that your boss may not want you on his unit. If not, he is a real douchebag. And I would not volunteer any information on this subject to any prospective employer. If ask...
Personally I think all nurses should let those babies loose, and purchase their uniforms from Fredricks of Hollywood complete with 4 inch pumps. It would certainly make my 12 hour shift more rewarding.
I am a relatively new nurse, however I have over 20 years experience in business ownership in a health related field. You may sale me on the fact that many of our gen x'ers do not have the work ethic, pride and respect that our parents taught us. Thi...
