  1. A Unit Secretary, who is a family member of our CEO, was recently hired. I was told who she was related to by other employees. To be honest, I don't care who she is related to, as long as she does her job. Many people have told me, "Watch your back....
  2. When they're SO sure they're right...

    One fine day on a Tele unit, I was told in report that a totally a&o patient refused to have a Foley catheter inserted. The doctor who ordered it had been informed, and this was documented in the Nursing notes. When I assessed the patient, I educ...
  3. Pros, Cons, Salary In Agency Nursing

    Not the ATC in my area. Found out that the ATC franchise in my area has been undercutting me by $5.00 an hour compared to nurses from three other agencies that are working at the same hospital. DONE, after almost five years of loyalty to them.
  4. HUC=Healthcare Unit Coordinator
  5. Do you think nurses get special treatment?

    Not in the area where I come from.
  6. First Time Traveler

    NedRN: Thank you so much for your input. I have already started planning my route...and love your rule of thumb r/t overpacking. And LOL, not paranoid, but since I am driving such a long distance on my own I purchased a GPS, car charger for cell pho...
  7. First Time Traveler

    Hi Everyone! I have been an RN for 10 years. In the past four years, I have been an agency nurse (local 15-60 miles); so I am used to going to different hospitals and learning their computer systems, protocols, and just fitting in, etc. So I have dec...
  8. 8hr Shifts vs 12hr Shifts

    I prefer 12 hour shifts, may be because that is all I have worked since I have been an RN. About a year ago, I took a position with four 8-hour shifts and hated it. And also depends on the facility you work at. At some healthcare facilities you have ...
  9. *****, 52 years-old. I will have to work until the day I die, if God willing.
  10. What was the REAL reason you called off

    Worked 4 12s in a row. Had two days off, but asked to come in for an extra shift on day one off. Was willing to do it, but I was so tired I didn't think that I could be a safe nurse for my patients.
  11. Fecal Disimpaction

    Back in the day (way back) this was standard practice when I was an STNA in LTC. However, I have been an RN for 10 years in hospitals. We are NOT allowed to do this r/t to risk of bowel perforation and only a physician can do this...order or not (jus...
  12. I hate nursing

    Why I stopped posting on this site.
  13. Senior Year - Feeling Anxious

    I sure felt the same way. The NCLEX is a different breed of animal in test taking. AFTER you graduate, get a few reputable books on taking the NCLEX and take as many tests as you can, or take an NCLEX review class...many are very expensive. I opted t...
  14. Would like to read these articles. Please post.
  15. ITT Tech closing ALL schools nationwide

    Sad. Read about this in my local newspaper. I graduated from Youngstown College of Business and Professional Drafting (now ITT) in 1984 when I was 19 years old. Even back then they were "shady." Found this out related to misquoted tuition amounts. I ...
