  1. Floating? I need your comments!

    i was assuming that you were talking about a nurse who is employed by the hospital and just happens to get pulled somewhere else. however, the hospital where i used to work as a nurse intern had an agency that staffed nurses just to float or fill in ...
  2. Is magnet status hospitals shutting out all LVNs

    there used to be LPNs in the hospital where i work, but not anymore. they stopped hiring them and the ones who worked at the bedside either left, went back to school, or took other positions in the hospital. some of them are discharge planners/case m...
  3. RN vs. BSN

    after seeing how you jump on every bsn thread and get so personally offended by any statement that implies getting a bsn in this job market would be wise.... quite frankly, i don't believe you.
  4. The New Grad & Charting

    i know it's the technology age and everything, but you're the most advanced two week old i've ever seen! sorry, couldn't resist.
  5. I GOT A JOB!

    congratulations....i hope you like it!
  6. Floating? I need your comments!

    i would think, "oh, great. i'm going to get stuck with the load nobody else wants." i used to work on a unit where one of us would have to float pretty much every shift. NOBODY ever wanted to be the one to go. we were supposed to take turns, but it ...
  7. RN vs. BSN

    uhh....requiring a bsn in order to practice is raising the standard. who said they shouldn't have a voice? don't take one part of what i said out of context (literally) and twist it to fit whatever on earth is inside your head.
  8. Obamacare Survives, Supreme Court Rescues 'Big Health'

    sure you can. just choose not to have a life!
  9. RN vs. BSN

    my guess would be because there are too many ADN educated nurses who have a voice and they are more worried about their pride so instead of raising the standards they keep them the same. some people take things way too personally as is evident on thi...
  10. Leave nursing job to be stay-at-home mom?

    you said your pay doesn't cover much more than childcare, but you work part time. wouldn't the solution to that be to work full time in a job that you actually like. it sounds like you want to quit the job you have for other reasons than wanting to ...
  11. why don't you take her aside and be very kind, but straight forward about it? maybe the manager addressed her needing to iron her scrubs, but wasn't able to address the odor. it's not an easy thing to do. i had to tell a co-worker she smelled one ti...
  12. good news! i've never understood why anyone would do something like this when it's not like they are paying for the supplies out of their own pockets anyway.
  13. some of them might be jealous and your acceptance is a reminder of them being stuck where they are. it's nothing personal and there's not really anything you can do about it. i used to ask some of my co-workers why they didn't go to nursing school (a...
  14. whatever you do - don't badmouth your former employer and don't make excuses. i know it's hard bc it's natural to want to defend yourself, but the best thing to do is to explain that you made a mistake. explain that you learned a valuable lesson from...
  15. Nursing and sexual abuse history

    this may be the case where you are, but i doubt that it's typical. i have given many baths and inserted many catheters alone. i stated previously that i doubt the OP will have an issue while giving care, but to say "none of what you will do will be a...
