   NCRN2010 replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Case Management

   I work at one of the top insurance companies as a Nurse Case Manager. I started off working on the 24 hour nurse triage line. Mostly the experience they are looking for is med/surg, ER, triage. I would recommend finding a position you're interested i...

   I am taking mine tomorrow and am freaking out a little bit. I have not been able to study as much as I would have liked. I usually test well but have already accepted that I am going to fail í ½í¸•

3. Called off too many times?

   NCRN2010 replied to MS0298's topic in Stress 101

   Although this may sound harsh, I totally agree with Kooky Korky. Nurses are held to a higher standard on many things. If you were working in an office job in a clerical position it might be fine to call out because your cat got run over or you fell o...

5. Need advice Please- Call Center RN job?

   NCRN2010 replied to ORRN0808's topic in Triage

   I currently work as a Call Center nurse for a very large insurance company. I have been doing it for 4 months. It is not all rainbows and unicorns. It is extremely mentally taxing. The money is great but some days I don't think it is worth it. Good l...

6. ADHD/Anxiety issues at clinicals

   NCRN2010 replied to finallyfound10's topic in Disabilities

   I experience these same symptoms at work and at clinicals when in school. Talk to your doctor about your meds. Maybe you need them increased, or changed. Don't give up. Also, I have learned several great relaxation techniques that have worked wonders...

7. Has anyone ever seen this done before?

   NCRN2010 replied to NCRN2010's topic in General Nursing

   I totally understand where you are coming from. Usually when you wash a wound, soap would be used as well, possibly eradicated any pathogens found in the tap water or spigot. Also, using ones own facilities is much different than water from a facilit...

8. Has anyone ever seen this done before?

   NCRN2010 replied to NCRN2010's topic in General Nursing

   Actually, no the provider was a female ARNP. Had been a nurse for 15-20 years. Critical care, L&D, and med/surg. I was surprised at what she did. I expected more from her.

   NCRN2010 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So last week I was assisting one of the providers at my employment and witnessed something I have never seen before. The patient we were caring for had a large leg wound. The provider wanted to culture the wound. So I prepared the patient and the roo...

    NCRN2010 replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Just being concerned enough to evaluate your practice shows me that you must be a good nurse. It takes years to get to a place where you can reflect on your day and say...I was a great nurse today. Dont let all the seasoned nurses backstabbing get yo...

    NCRN2010 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Critical

    Love this post. I too wear a CPAP. I hate it. It took me several weeks to get used to the idea of having to wear it. I have tried numerous masks trying to find the right fit and one that doesnt give me pressure ulcers all over my face. Sometimes I do...

    Can you shut up and take this report? I would like to leave now. You are not the only one that works hard here, you just complain the most. How many smoke breaks do you need?? You are real good at telling nurses how to do their job, but can you pract...

15. Overwhelmed, is it too much work or just me?

    NCRN2010 replied to rainbowsandsunshine's topic in Geriatric

    Got to love LTC. This, unfortunately is a common scenario. One thing I would try is to tell you CNAs to bring resident A, B, and C to you before lunch or supper. You have 50 residents to chase, your CNAs have fewer residents to chase. Same with thera...
