   kimima01 replied to rearviewmirror's topic in Case Management

   Rearview, I would believe so, as a hospice case manager IS a case manager. I, like you, am an ER nurse. I have a second interview for a case management position. I have zero CM experience, by the way. I was actually interviewing for a totally differe...

   kimima01 replied to RNin'08's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Good luck to you! I also interviewed as an internal applicant for L&D. I can't say that I was completely prepared for it but I am keeping my fingers crossed. I currently work in med-surg and I can no longer stomach it. It took me less than 2 year...

   Hey Linguine! I have been an RN for about a year now and I will start an OR training program in January. I am super excited! I initially applied for the position in May of this year but did not get the job. I did take a position in the rehabilitat...

   kimima01 replied to supernurse1230's topic in Geriatric

   I always do my own vitals. Just the other day, I looked at a flowsheet in one of my pt's charts and the unit manager had recorded numbers that did not even come close to mine. Not only that, I never saw her go into any of those pts rooms with a ste...

   I am a brand new RN in an LTC/subacute rehab facility. I am eternally grateful for those nurses with the 20+ years of experience! They are an incredible resource and bring a sense of calm to otherwise stressful situations. I know that they have se...

   I don't waste my breath. I don't engage just so I don't get worked up. You have the doctor's orders so that works in your favor.

11. It's A Struggle

    kimima01 replied to JoeyGirlRNNYC's topic in New Nurse

    I am a new grad with 4 months experience. I believe that with time, things do get better. I am less concerned with "fitting in" than doing my job because that will come in time. I was a tech also and know how hard I worked in that role. As a nurs...

13. Why should I be a nurse if it's so awful?

    kimima01 replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    You have your good days and your bad days in nursing. Like today for me was the never ending day from h**l:eek:. However, it is nothing that a hot shower and goodnight sleep will not fix. I am going back for more tomorrow because I love being a nu...
