  1. Going back to a full time job...sick of this!

    You know, it is funny how quickly I found myself (now as "STAFF") looking at the agency folks and thinking..."Why do WE have so many of THEM here tonight???!!!??? It is so easy to be a snob!! Anyway, just an update. I am really enjoying my new p...
  2. If you worked while in school, what did you do?

    I worked as a CNA in a small rural hospital. When they find out that you are in nursing school, you get to step in on all the cool stuff like births, procedures, even surgeries at times!! It was INVALUABLE experience. Helped me tons once I got...
  3. Going back to a full time job...sick of this!

    OOOHHH, 16 hour shifts are just for people under the age of 25, I think!! I have done my share of those and am a zombie for 2 or 3 days afterwards! I'm getting too old! On another note, I had my first night on this new job last night. It will be...
  4. Weight gain on NIGHT shift!!!

    Oh my friend, I can relate! I did nights in November and December this past year...I gained 10 lbs. in , like, a day or something like that!! I hated it! I went back to days for 2 months, but just took a full time nights spot...we'll see what ha...
  5. Going back to a full time job...sick of this!

    Thanks for the kind words...interview at new hospital went great yesterday...start on Monday. I work for All About...wouldn't recommend that office anyway to anyone! I am really excited about the new job and it pays almost the same but with GREAT i...
  6. After 2 years of agency, I am fed up! I am going today to join the ranks of FULL TIME STAFF. I have been cancelled for the past 2 weeks after being pre-booked for 4 weeks. I have worked 1 day each week for the past 2...UUUUGGGHHHH!!!!! I di...
  7. Faking It

    I worked with a miraculous neurologist once who "induced" a "seizure" by massaging the "SEIZURE NERVES" located on the back of her neck with 15 alcohol prep pads!!!!!!!!! She was told that he would try to induce this seizure by this special massage ...
  8. change of shift report

    dv8rn, I hate bedside report!! How can you discreetly say, "This patient is absolutely a pain in the rear" in front of them?!? Just kidding, I know those things can be said in private away from the patient. We do verbal team report and that is a p...
  9. I handle it by knowing that all things happen for a reason, be it physical, genetic, environmental, or just being part of a bigger picture we can't see. Some sickness people bring upon themselves through lifestyle (i.e. smoking, alchohol abuse, diet...
  10. Sent home after 4 hours...AGAIN!!!!

    Feast or famine, you know!! Yesterday, (1) I wasn't cancelled, (2) The floor they placed me on was well staffed, (3) I only had 4 patients most of the day, and (4) I ENDED UP STAYING 16 HOURS!!! Life is so funny!! I just have to keep remembering t...
  11. Sent home after 4 hours...AGAIN!!!!

    Well, all said and done, I got 20 hours total this week. I am pre-booked for 32 next week...we'll see. I called my previous agency, they were surprised to hear from me. I put my feelers out with them, but who knows. I almost gave up and called to...
  12. Sent home after 4 hours...AGAIN!!!!

    Same song, 2nd verse!! Cancelled again, but God is in charge! Hubby home sick...4 kids to get to school anyway...it all works out, I suppose . I have worked at other hospitals with this agency and I have let them know how much I need to work. Bad...
  13. Sent home after 4 hours...AGAIN!!!!

    I know this happens to all agency nurses sometimes, but this is begining to hurt in the pocketbook!!! I was cancelled 3 out of 4 days last week, but was allowed to come in this morning. Feeling more optimistic, I drove the hour to the hospital wher...
  14. This years Flu Shot?

    Got mine...NO PROBLEM!!!! The trick will be when I go to administer 70+ shots at our local school district to teachers. I hate giving those shots to folks that I know and have to see locally!! It is hard to see them at Wal-Mart and have to hear ab...
  15. Would You Pray if your Patient asked?

    I can't tell you how honored I have been the times that one of my patients has seen my light shine and asked me to pray with them. This has never happened unless the patient and I have talked previously during that stay about our faith. I am very o...
