  1. We don't tell a squad to wait. We move the now stable pt into the hallway if we need the room.
  2. I have worked on the floor and now I work in the ER. We have a policy that no patients can go up to the floor during shift change. So for us, no transport or giving report of pt's between 7am-8am and 7p-8pm. We hold them in the ER til 8 then send ...
  3. Mandatory flu vaccines for staff

    I am a nurse, and I got Guillain Barre Syndrome from the flu shot many years before I was a nurse. I have never gotten the flu shot since I have been a nurse, neither have my 3 children. We haven't had the flu in our home yet. We wash our hands. I...
  4. Wanting to quit orientation, new grad, please advise

    The first step is to speak with Nurse manager and ask her for a new preceptor. The preceptor you have does not necessarily know what she is doing just because she has been there for 20 years. That nurse gives the good nurses a bad name. She has no...
  5. Best Nursing Shoes/Sneakers

    DANSKO by far. Prior to becoming a nurse I was a flight attendant spending up to 18 hours a day on my feet at 35,000 feet where most people's feet swell. Dankso's are not only comfortable but they are good for your feet/back. They provide good sup...

  8. Lost my dream job

    Please don't beat yourself up. You are not stupid. What is stupid is that you passed the same test as a BSN nurse yet they feel that a BSN nurse is more qualified. What I find in my hospital is that the ADN RN's are better prepared on the floor then ...
  9. Our new hire, new grad charge nurse

    It's funny they did that at my hospital with me. I am ADN RN and I was not even off probation when they asked me to be in charge along with one other BSN nurse. I was so caught off guard when they asked me. I asked her if I could think about it. Whe...
  10. First off nursing nclex questions are a breed of their own. I so vividly remember being in your shoes. Knowing now what I know, all the answers are correct and I get them correct without hesitation.(that is because I was answering those questions for...
  11. VENT: school still ruining my life after graduation

    I keep reading things about CA.. They are pretty screwed up there. In NY you can't even register to take NCLEX until they recieve info from the school that you have graduated. You can apply for licensure and send all your information in before you ...
  12. VENT: school still ruining my life after graduation

    I never really had anything good to say about school except I did make some of the best friends there. I still remember my first day thinking this is going to be the worst two years of my life. But thank God for my study group or I wouldn't have ma...
