  2. Fresenius - transferring from chronic to acute setting

    Wow - I did not know about those CMS guidelines. I started an acute position as a RN new to dialysis and was put on call 3 months after my start date. It seemed fast for me but I did it. It was hard but I did it.
  3. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    I will say two things: I am in agreement with everyone who is commenting on what your fiance says. I'm not saying you need to end the relationship but you may need to seriously reconsider things if the person you are marrying can't make sacrifices fo...
  4. What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    Last year, I was working the day before thanksgiving....this female patient told me and the doctor she hoped that we choked on our thanksgiving dinner. I didn't take it personally.
  5. Least stressful nursing specialty

    DoeRN, what are you now trying to get into? I have been thinking the same thing myself and wondering how I can get an education for something else while still working as a RN to support myself. I'm young and nursing has already worn away at me.
  6. I don't want to be a nurse!!

    If you already know you don't want to be a nurse....don't do it. There are those of us who thought we DID want to be one and went into the field, and now dislike it. A lot. And I can't imagine already not wanting to do it ahead of time and having to ...
  7. Failed the NCLEX-RN exam on the first time

    Here, I found it. This guy's article seemed really helpful. He took the NCLEX-RN three times, and passed on the third time after taking the Hurst review. read his comments here: https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/how-i-passed-971389.html
  8. Failed the NCLEX-RN exam on the first time

    Hi there, I have heard a lot of great things about the Hurst review, you can google it. It is kind of expensive, but they guarantee passing, and that may be worth its weight. There are a couple of other postings on this website about people failing ...
  9. Dialysis nurses: Needing advice :)

    I am a new RN, but not a new nurse. Have been a LPN for over 4.5 years. I was just offered my first RN job in a inpatient dialysis unit at a local hospital. It was very enticing to me, as I have always been interested in outlier areas of nursing. W...

    Thank you so much for your response! I really appreciate it.
  11. EPIC use in Columbus hospitals

    I do not need to know where anyone has worked. If you have in the past and know the answer to my question, that's great. Or if you know someone who works in these hospitals, can you ask them? Just looking to see who uses EPIC. Thanks so much.
  12. EPIC use in Columbus hospitals

    I'm sorry if this has already been discussed somewhere.... In Columbus area hospitals, is the EPIC computer system for charting used or do they utilize another kind of software? I am talking about OSU hospitals, Children's, Mt. Carmel, etc.... Thanks...
  13. I agree with not even having to find an excuse. I always say "personal reasons", and I'm never asked anymore details.
  14. Least stressful nursing specialty

    Loriangel14: You definitely get used to what you know, and I know that anything new can be stressful. As I said in my post, I understand that stress can be variable and it depends upon the person/situation. I was just looking for personal accounts ...
  15. Least stressful nursing specialty

    (Also posted in the Health/stress management 101 forum): I apologize if this has been discussed before: I am inquiring as to what my fellow nurses on here believe to be the least stressful nursing job/specialty. I know the answers to this question ca...
