  1. I'm sure they are very nice people, but outwardly they are cold, abrasive, mean. I don't know how else to describe them than how I did, they're all Nurse Ratchets. I don't know why you're taking this personally, as if I'm calling you out along with t...
  2. LOL of course not, are you kidding? I'm saying that regardless of whether you've been a nurse for 1 year or 100 years you at one time were a student who was scared, unsure, untested, confused, overwhelmed. Nurses did not spring fully formed from the...
  3. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    I always do my best to frame my questions like this "In nursing school we learned to do x, then y, then z. You did x, then z, then y. Would you mind explaining the rationale for doing it the other way?" No matter how nice or polite or respectful I a...
  4. Question on piggybacking med

    Could you change the IV to a y-port and run in both concurrently via a double pump? If you wanted mag and NS to run in together, I think what I would do is spike both bags, set the NS on one side of the pump to run in at KVO (or w/e flow rate is orde...
  5. Well, that's the thing. I live in one city, and work in the next one down south, about 40 minutes away. It was the only place in all of N. Cal within 50 miles of me taking new grads. Nowhere else was taking any. Nowhere. And they don't plan on it any...

  7. Don't take my description of them as allegory for all seasoned nurses. I know some nurses with experience who are awesome, amazing, smart, on the ball, etc. These women that work there have given up and are counting down the days until retirement. On...
  8. OH, man, Super_RN, would I ever like to find a new job. I look every day. But I'm only 8 shifts in to this one, I haven't even been there a month yet. What do I say to other prospective employers when they ask me why I am leaving this one? Plus as ...
  9. My hospital is broke. BROKE. To the point where we're the lowest paid nurses in the area. We can't close cause we're a 260 bed county hospital and the only one around for miles who accepts trauma. So here's the deal. Our broke-ness has led to a mass...
  10. My Preceptor Hates Me (need advice)

    Oh man am I right there with you. I just started at a place where I feel like I've been thrown to the wolves. Started off with a HUGE misunderstanding-- was told I'd get to cross-train to ICU and ER by the nurse manager... turns out that no new orie...
