  1. It's Finally Happened!

    Asking why I sound so angry doesn't make any sense. Why do people feel the need and feel so proud to be like that. If a employee is so horrible, then it will show at work. Sorry, I don't have those problems.
  2. It's Finally Happened!

    Sorry, I don't have those problems. Anyone that feels that they have to do something like this has too much time on their hands.
  3. Unit Design Blamed for Increase in Falls

    Your facility is way understaffed and I feel your frustration. 2 nurses and 1 aid for 15 patients is crazy. You are doing the best you can possibly do.
  4. What is the correct title?

    This question sounds like it's for a school project. Give me a break!
  5. What's it really like to be a nurse?

    feel like it takes tremendous strength to be a nurse, and confidence, and calm, and emotional resilience, and I don't think I had enough of those things until now. I would like to pursue this dream, but I can't tell if I'm crazy. Have I really grown ...
  6. Bedside report

    My facility tried that crap. Going room to room and talking in front of the patient. How would you feel if two people were talking about you in front of you. This also puts us in a pickle when they stop and say what is this that etc. We cannot interp...
  7. Speaking of... Getting to work early

    I get to work 30 minutes before my shift starts. If I can get my report, check my patients then check my MARS I'm doing good. The nurses that get there at 7pm (which is shift start) are way behind waiting for a computer to use to check their MAR and ...

    Heparin/ zithromax/ potassium plus many others.
  9. First Year Almost Over, No Magical "Ah ha" Moment Yet

    It takes 2-3 years to feel more comfortable. Keep up with education classes and looking up medically related things. You'll get the hang of it.
  10. Does this job offer sound good?

    The position is dangerously short staffed. Run the other way.
  11. It really doesn't matter either way. I am amused at your preceptor thinking she's "miss sterile". If it was you'd have a sterile field and sterile gloves etc. Washing your hands and putting on clean gloves, yes of course. But her thinking is ridiculo...
  12. Facebook friends should include like minds. Which does not include anyone from your job or that has any association. My personal life is private. My page is locked and my posts are not shown. Many times employees have tooled around the internet and t...
  13. ADON Opportunity - Advice needed!

    1. i am extremely detail oriented and tend to gravitate toward projects that others would consider "busy work." while i have no ltc experience, i am a quick learner. 2. i would love to be able to make a difference in this facility and ensure that the...
  14. Interview appropriate? Opinions needed please

    Forget it. Buy a pair of dress pants and dress shirt buttoned up.
  15. Deceptive firing practices

    The company is not worried about any negativity by the nurse (either is the customer) they are just using the nurse till they find a replacement. The agency wants the customers money and does not care if the accusations are true or not. They want to ...
