1. Report vent turned mega vent

   loveoutloud replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Nursing

   I forgot my major annoyance of the week (and a question I initially intended to ask in this thread): would it be rude to say "please wait until I'm done report before asking questions- I will probably get there" in response to constant interruptions?...

2. Report vent turned mega vent

   loveoutloud posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have become increasingly frustrated during bedside report at change of shift. Ignorant nurses wanting to know ridiculous details or why I didn't do certain things. I'm not telling the Dr. To switch my patient from their current anti-depressant t...

   loveoutloud replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   loveoutloud replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   Oops that's was supposed to be a response to the comment listing "alert and orientated" as a pet peeve. One of mine is when people say "exact same". It's redundant to use "exact".

   loveoutloud replied to Newnurs01's topic in Career Support

   loveoutloud replied to loveoutloud's topic in New Nurse

   There is an instructor, but it is a 6:1 ration so the will inevitably be asking me questions. In terms of assessments etc I want to complete everything to ensure changes are detected promptly.

9. Not excited to start nursing. :(

   loveoutloud replied to jemray's topic in New Nurse

   Wow, I could have written this post myself. I think others are more excited/happy for me than I am for myself. I am not looking forward to my job which I start very soon and I am avoiding studying for my RN exam like the plague. I have a personal iss...

    loveoutloud posted a topic in General Students
