   BRK97 replied to PinkFuzz's topic in General Nursing

   Now, I've had this happen before with PO meds (which our instructor doesn't go with us for), to which I'll fess up that I just had a brain fart or something like that and tell them I'll recheck and be back. But this time having the instuctor staring ...

5. Is there still hope

   BRK97 replied to mmim's topic in General Nursing

   I know a girl who passed on her 4th try and she is a very smart and compassionate nurse. Are you too anxious when you go. Your anxiety could be making you not think clearly. Get some student help on test taking tips, etc.

6. anybody else have this problem

   BRK97 replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

   I don't mind having foreign doctors. I get annoyed when I ask them to repeat things to ensure that I do understand what they are saying and they get mad at me for having to repeat it again. I'm sorry, but for patient safety, I need to know that I und...

    BRK97 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in a great community hospital. I truly love my job and what I do, but of course, I sometimes get frustrated. But in general I really do love my job. In recent times, many changes have occurred. Almost all of our nursing leadership has changed ...

11. Has Magnet Increased Nurse Satisfaction Within the Facility?

    BRK97 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if magnet really increases job satisfaction or not. I sometimes feel like leadership tells us that's their drive when really they just want to get another accolade for the hospital and want to motivate us to work for it.
