1. Life After Termination?

   cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

   It had nothing to do with the actual job - I was termination for unprofessionalism with coworkers. Unfortunatly, like you - I didn' tmuch get along with the weak management - and although I wasn't the only one involved in the conversation, I was the ...

2. Life After Termination?

   cnolan posted a topic in General Nursing

   So I was terminated from my position in May...I had two jobs, so while it was awful - I haven't had any problems with pay or anything (thank goodness!). What I'm curious about - I found a great opportunity for a school nurse (I'm a peds RN)...but wha...

5. Stupid, Stupid Self...

   cnolan posted a topic in Career Support

   So here's the story. I've been a RN for almost four years - I have some great friends at work, and on Sunday we got on the conversation of how I had recently gotten my nipple pierced. They wanted to know how it was, so I told them. One of the people ...

6. Love Camp, Don't Love my Counterpart

   cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in Camp

   Thanks for the reply. Actually, this camp is not run very well at ALL! When I requested a lock box and a safe area for the controlled meds, all I was answered with was, "Well, the nurse is in here and when she isn't, the door is closed.". Um, no. GR....

7. Love Camp, Don't Love my Counterpart

   cnolan posted a topic in Camp

   So, I'm having a great time at camp, I love the campers, the staff, the whole experience. I do NOT, however, love the nurse that is here on my days off (Saturday, Sunday, Monday). I came in last week after being off to find crates full of medications...

8. Questions Concerning EpiPens

   cnolan posted a topic in Camp

   Hello! My name is Charity, I've been a peds nurse for 3 years and am going to camp this summer for the first time. (Very excited!) I do have one concern - apparently our camp physician (whom I have not yet met, but will do so on the 30th) has decided...

9. Had my first doctor scream at me today

   cnolan replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Relations

   I gave a little post-op girl Zofran last week for nausea. She'd never had it before, and shortly after getting it, developed hives. As I was turning to call the doc, he walked in and started screaming at me (in front of the girl's parents) about what...

10. So I've decided...

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I appreciate that - I've been looking into other options outside of the hospital. I worked in one hospital for a year (float, where I got all the experience I have except the Peds), and now I've been at my current hospital (Peds hospital) sin...

11. So I've decided...

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    THANK YOU!!!!! I am NOT a new nurse - I think people are forgetting that. I graduated and began working in April 2005 - It's been two years that I've been a floor nurse. I've lived alone and worked since the age of 16. I dont' believe ANYONE should b...

12. So I've decided...

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for those of you who gave me support. I can't BELIEVE that 95% of the people responding to this say "There's no way you can be burned out..." or "work part time"... or "New grad, new grad..." Read the original post, people. I've been a nurse (...

13. So I've decided...

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a floor nurse for two years. I've done pediatrics, ortho, med-surgh, rehab, and ICU. I just am NOT happy and don't even want to think about floor nursing. *sigh* I'd LOVE to work ER - in fact, peds ER would be ideal. But unfortunatly, no ...

14. So I've decided...

    cnolan posted a topic in General Nursing

    That I absolutely hate nursing. I'm 21 years old and burnt out. I can't stand the thought of dealing with patients anymore. *sigh*

15. Med Error Question

    cnolan posted a topic in Medications

    I inadvertantly gave 0.5 of a Lortab regular strength to a patient. The order was 0.5 of a extra strength. I followed my error with an incident report, and now my standing in med administration is in jeopardy. (We have strict rules on errors.) I was ...
