   I am an ECT nurse. A general anesthetic and a muscle relaxant are given. The anesthetic is short acting.

2. Soooo, I quit

   bostonbakednurse replied to TX911's topic in General Nursing

   Being a frequent job seeker, I can assure you that how you left that job is of no importance, as long as you don't tell your next employer why you left. When you give names and numbers of references, use coworkers that you know will give you a good r...

3. Any white middle aged travel nurses out there?

   bostonbakednurse replied to bostonbakednurse's topic in Travel

   Actually, "white" does not factor into anything as far as I am concerned. I began this thread under another thread "Are there any black middle aged/young nurses out there?" I was curious to see the response if I started a similar thread but usin...

5. Being direct with co-workers, aides, sitting at the desk, ect...advice please

   bostonbakednurse replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

   I read this in a Readers Digest magazine: Ten percent of the staff do ninety percent of the work, while ninety percent of the staff do only ten percent of the work. It seems to be the "norm" in healthcare. Why doesn't management step up to the plate?...

6. Being an ugly nurse

   bostonbakednurse replied to mofomeat's topic in Relations

   Keep the focus on the patient when you go to work and that's all that really matters. It's not about us anyways!

7. ECT Nurses where are you at?

   bostonbakednurse replied to Topaz7's topic in Psychiatric

   Wow, that sounds like a great place to work! Are they hiring? lol

8. Are they oversharing or am I a prude?

   bostonbakednurse replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

   I have no problem hearing anything as long as it is not in ear of the patients! I have a hard time with people that talk about their private life in front of the patients. It drives me crazy. Some go on and on about their personal life while families...

9. IV Certification in Mass

   bostonbakednurse replied to watersamy's topic in Massachusetts

   I have taken IV courses provided by hospitals I previously worked for. They were usually given by the Nurse Educator/Infection Control Nurse. They let you practice on a fake arm, you take a short quiz, and then are given a piece of paper saying ...

10. THANK YOU fellow nurses for your encouragement!!

    bostonbakednurse replied to smhs's topic in General Nursing

    I think one of the best parts about being a nurse is to help a new nurse. Or any other nurse for that matter.

12. I couldn't believe what I was hearing!

    bostonbakednurse replied to sra27's topic in Relations

    I do believe that the poor guy was sleep deprived and concerned about his father's welfare. He just couldn't figure out how to say it nicely.

13. east coast people

    bostonbakednurse replied to sdeal's topic in Infusion

    Have you thought of travel nursing to get your foot in the door somewhere that you are considering? That can help expose you to many different hospitals. I am new at travel nursing, but when I had a hard time getting a job in the Boston area, I signe...

14. Love the experienced nurses!

    bostonbakednurse replied to Good Morning, Gil's topic in General Nursing

    I am also grateful to those experienced nurses who helped me when I was a new nurse. I had a very hard time in the beginning, but thanks to some pretty special nurses, I made it. They helped give me the confidence that I needed. Now that I am an expe...

15. Am I wrong for calling off? Please help!

    bostonbakednurse replied to np2b4me's topic in General Nursing

    UNSAFE STAFFING!!! That's incredible!! Agree, fill out unsafe staffing report/incident report. I might have actually threatened to call the media if they did not do something about it. Now that would have really got Admin's attention!!!
