  1. Why do some nurses hate it in others pump at work?

    In my experience, the nurses that pump while at work leave every 45min to 1 hr to pump for 30min and I am left watching thier patients for more than half of their shift, so I can understand why the traveler is upset.
  2. What Else Can I Do For A Living?

    I wish I could be of more help, but I do not have a lot of management experience! My current goal is to finish up NP school (5months) I went part time while working as a RN so it has taken a little over 2 years. I really do hope you find something t...
  3. working in urgent care

    I recently started working at urgent care PRN, they clean out ears there of course. A lot more people than you would think come in "clogged up ears". My concern is this... the nurses RNs and LPNs get an order to flush out the ear with hydrogen peroxi...
  4. Why the double standard.

    agreed, if I can help the male nurse protect his license why can't they return the same favor? males can just as well sue female nurses as well.
  5. Why the double standard.

    .........................................
  6. Why the double standard.

    female nurse here who works in day surgery, I completely understand where the OP is coming from, I have to do swabs, foleys, take care of vasectomy patients, care for post op male patients who have had their genitals repaired, etc. The minute a fema...
  7. What's In A Name Badge?

    I shouldn't care but I do, some nurses where I work have BSN-RN on their badge and others have RN, what I think is crazy is I was hired on with a BSN-RN, another colleague just got their BSN and they issued them a new badge with BSN-RN, while mine st...
  8. final warning

    My advice is like most others, resign now before they make it worse for you or make you ineligible for rehire. So sorry this is happening!
  9. RN salary expectations

    I am in the NE TN region, hospital pay for new grads in my area is 17.70/hr now, it was 18.60/hr when I graduated in 2014, in private practice RN pay ranges from starting 16/hr-17/hr. The hospital pay is base pay without any diffs, such as night shi...
  10. I hate night shift

    So since everyone except for maybe 2 or 3 people were completely rude and downright mean I just want to let all of you know that I am in my 2nd year of NP school, thriving, and working a day shift job that I absolutely love, I work with great people ...
  11. College books are the biggest scams ever

    I just spent $444 for books for the first 2 classes of my MSN program....... I couldn't afford the books if I was full time. One book for Patho New edition OF COURSE was $211. My favorite is when the university has their own "special" edition.
  12. I will always remember a patient I had that was so very sweet, he was one of my oncology patients, when I left my unit he was so sincere he was truly sad I was leaving. I still wonder how he is doing, he was on the upswing when I left and I can only...
  13. New Grad...should i stick with nursing?

    I love this response this is very very truthful.... Bedside nursing in the hospital nurses get treated like slaves and are expected to do 100 different things with only 2 hands and not the adequate supplies. I left bedside nursing at just 6 months i...
  14. A less stressfull career choice

    I understand what you are saying, I hated my nursing job in the hospital. I am now in ambulatory surgery and it is 10X better than the hospital. I was a new nurse in the hospital for about 6 months I gave it my 6 months hated every second of it and l...
