  1. How has becoming a nurse changed your life?

    I have learned that the world is full of lies, and that health care is one big scam.
  2. Setting myself up for success as a new grad-days or nights?

    Stick with the days. You will always have more staff, because, the nurse manager will not want get off her seat and help. If you have a family, nights will mess you up. It will take at least one day off of sleeping to recover, then it's back to work....
  3. Reapply a Fentanyl Patch?

    Don't let this nurse drag you down. You did what you thought was best for the patient. This nurse should have more patients with you because you are a new grad. Never forget this experience, because, someday you'll be a seasoned nurse and can help an...
  4. My First Medication Error

    It's okay, nobody died. You did the right thing by being honest and reporting it as soon as possible. We have all made med errors. Nursing is a tough gig, especially when they understaff the floor, which can make any good nurse prone to error. We are...
  5. new nurse medication errors

    They are lying through their teeth, heck they probably don't even give half they're meds there suppose too. I've heard of nurses throwing meds in the trash because they were afraid the patient would aspirate, and were to lazy to call the docs. I am c...
  6. Failed NCLEX 5 Times! Am I The Only One Who . . .

    I know plenty of nurses with a 4.0 that are terrible at their jobs. They spend more time charting than actually taking care of their patients. I would give this person a chance, and try not eat her, it's hard enough out there. Take time and be patien...
  7. Question for nurses...only hospital jobs?

    All hospital jobs are pretty much crappy. I've been doing it for 10 plus years. As a new grad, you will be offered the tele step down and also known as Progressive care unit. These jobs are dangerous, because the patient acuity is through the roof. T...
  8. MAs call themselves Nurses at my office..opinions please?

    It's not about you, it's always about the patient. Everyone should check their Ego at the door, and just focus on the patient. Just focus on providing quality patient care. Who care if techs are called nurses. If you really want status, then go to m...
  9. Is my short career over?

    The hazing was encourage by the nurse supervisor. The techs talk bad about her, because the nurse manager told them too. They wanted to see how you would react. They set you up far failure. I worked at 18 different facilities, and they all play the s...
  10. Shocked...Confused...& Terminated=SAD "(

    You did the right thing. It sounds like a set up to me, classic good cop, bad cop. Someone wanted you gone, so, they made it happen. Always follow your gut when it comes to doctors orders. I think the NP was part of this deceptive plan. Remember, tru...
  11. have you been hired on the spot?

    Always follow your gut. If it's too good to be true, well you know the rest. They are probably short staffed and need a warm body, you, are that warm body. I would suggest visiting a facility before applying. Check out the floor, and see if the nurse...
  12. Job offer, no start date?

    HR are making plans, beware, and keep your story straight. HR are not your friend, they are bullies and will hurt you if you let them. Never, and I mean never trust or confide in HR aka RD (Ridicule Dept.) Good Luck. PS. HR can't satnd nurse, and wil...
