  1. Help please how to decline a job

  3. I saw another nurse assault a patient

    Report this! That poor patient was physically and verbally abused. If this nurse treated the patient this way in front of two witnesses, imagine what he does or has the ability to do to patients with no witnesses! Whether you are in competition wit...
  4. MSN-Nurse Leader

    The MSNs I have met are nursing instructors, directors of nursing departments, CNOs, etc. I mentored with the director of my unit when I worked as a floor nurse working on my BSN. I learned quite a bit from her. It sounds like you are on the right ...
  5. Tell me about your position

    What I like most: working with my staff and creating a pleasant work environment in which in turn creates higher productivity. What I like the least: having difficult conversations with staff members. Adults know right from wrong. As a manager, I hav...

    Nurse Managers: What do you enjoy most about your job? What do you enjoy least about your job?
  7. Bartender...hospice...next?

    There are many avenues in nursing, which is fortunate. You probably need to explore your options. If you like the smaller settings, maybe you could continue hospice nursing, or a doctor's office. If your company is going bankrupt, I am sure there ...
  8. My WORST mistake in hospice...sniff

    We unfortunately sometimes learn from our mistakes. Could you not have blocked the person? Do not beat yourself up about it, just process everything and move on knowing that you will not make that same mistake again!
  9. Satisfying exhaustion

    Nurses work their bums off all day every day, however it is a very rewarding career! I have been so exhausted that I could not eat, and could barely even think after a 12 hour shift. 3 or 4 12s in a row kicked my butt...I would spend my first day o...
  10. We are Nurses and we can do anything

    Fix the TV remote. Find the right TV channel, fix the beds...I should have applied to the engineering department!
  11. Cut corners

    RN819, your story sounds a lot like mine. I was constantly staying late to chart after my shift to "get everything done." I did the full assessment on all of my patients. My floor was so busy it felt like I could never keep up. Time management is ...
  12. How important is appearance?

    ACNP2017, I don't know. I have worked with many nurses that do not care about their appearance. This also happens in the non health-care fields. I think appearance is important no matter what you do for a living. If we do not care about the way w...
  13. How important is appearance?

    Thank you for your reply, Libby1987. I do understand that there are expenses that unfortunately come with tooth replacement. Maybe in that situation it could not be helped. I am thankful that I have dental coverage.
  14. How important is appearance?

    Seriously, no teeth!! I know there must be a rule or law about asking the applicant about it, so I didn't ask where they were. Good idea about the new thread! I could share many stories!!
  15. This week, I have learned... (8/8)

    1. Giving a dying hospice patient a total bed bath, shampoo and shave may have been the most rewarding thing I have done this week. 2. There are a lot of dishonest and lazy people in this world. 3. Hugging/cuddling my sons after a long day feels ...
