  1. what time does your shift really end?

    If I work 7-3 we can't leave or punch out til 3:23 but most times unless running late I get out between 330-345. But there have been times I'm leaving at 400 0r 430pm
  2. A nurse sent me this video who i precepted years ago, nice video for new students, new grads and us old timers who needs reminding at times how rewarding our job can be.
  3. Being notified of elevated troponin....

    Would talk with the cardiologist or whoever is your chief medical officer about the problem. Maybe if they holler enough the lab manager will sit up and understand why its so important. Don't direct it to the techs or lab people you need to talk w...
  4. failed ns...now what?? need advice

    First of all say to yourself "Is this what I want?" If the answer is yes then you have some work ahead of you. Make an appointment to talk with either a guidance counselor or one of the deans of the program on how you could possibly return. If not...
  5. HR in 40s. Doc insisting on dig IV

    I say good nursing judgement. As for the doctor I think you need to speak with your nurse manager next staff meeting for this to be brought up and discussed with the doctor. There are parameters that must then be written by the cardiologist in the ...
  6. giving your email to a patient, yes or no?

    I so totally agree! It's nice that you feel like you communicated well, you did your job now you are done. It may sound cold but that is our job to provide them care and therapeutic communication while in the confines of your care.
  7. Just sharing some good and happy news

    Congrats to your daughter! I bet mom is so proud!!!
  8. need some guidance...

    Definitely appeal! You have rights, I would look into finding a lawyer maybe at the college if their is a law school there might be a help center where they can possibly provide you with information for free law advice.
  9. If you have the regret then go back. I feel there are some really good schools out there and some no so great schools. Check out the schools before you apply, ones that usually have a waiting list do so for a reason. Check out their nclex pass rat...
  10. Being told a nursing career is a pipe dream

    If you have the desire the "@$%% with everyone and just "do it"! Look 14 years ago when I told my family I wanted to be a nurse I was laughed at by my family, dh's family but I had the desire and a supportive husband that said "Go for it" I was a ...
  11. really high dose of meds . .

    Love the pharmacist. Believe me a good one will have no problem letting the doc know the dosage is exceeding the normal limits or at least let the nurse know so they can call him.
  12. What has happened to nursing?

    The rules are out there to protect us, patients and family members of our patients. People have a right to privacy and we as nurses and care givers have to respect the privacy and know there is a line we cannot cross. It's one thing I think if you ...
  13. Signed up for ACLS...what to expect?

    Get yourself a book on acls and study before you go to the class. I really think you need to have some idea even before you go to the class, because there is a lot of information if this is new for you.
  14. Advice for new CNA

    :up:Marissa Give yourself a pat on the back! Congrats to you. I think if you want to work in a hospital call to talk with a nurse recruiter at the local hospitals around you. Tell them you will work on any floor, they probally will put on a basic ...
  15. Sharon Regional 2010 - Who's accepted? Still waiting?

    "Okay, now that I received my rejection letter, I am free to speak freely. Here's my opinion of that school: Sh*t, and I'd already decided that before I ever interviewed." Sour grapes??? Sharon turns out some pretty good nurses. I worked there for a...
