1. Anyone finish shift and not return to job?

   JPrince replied to StatRNNJ97's topic in General Nursing

   I would put in your two weeks and just tough it out from there! If anything, at least you have peace of mind knowing that you're not going to be there for much longer! That provides some relief! Hang in there! Sorry to hear your working condition...

2. Most easy job in Nursing?

   JPrince replied to moliuchick's topic in General Nursing

   I've got a great job as an RN Case Manager for a Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Center. It requires excellent IV skills because I do ALOT of IV infusions all day, and I wouldn't call is easy by any means, but in terms of stress levels, hours, and ...

3. Need An Assignment In Las Vegas, Nv

   JPrince posted a topic in Travel

   Hi all, I posted this in general nursing...but I've got a friend who's a travel RN working in the OR and wants to come to Vegas for her next assignment. She's having trouble (and so I am) finding any open positions in OR for the Las Vegas area. The...

4. Why are nursing instructors mean?

   JPrince replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Students

   I think labeling certain instructors as "mean" is entirely subjective to the individual. I've had many instructors that others termed "mean" and found they were some of the best instructors I had. They made you work hard and think critically, but t...

5. Does nursing school go by quickly? Seems like it'll be forever before I'm a nurse.

   JPrince replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Students

   When I first started nursing school, I completely remember saying to myself, "5 semesters of this! It's gonna drag!" Boy was I wrong! Time never flew bye as quickly in my life! Before I knew it, May of 99 rolled around and I was in my cap and gow...

   JPrince replied to MomBSN's topic in General Nursing

   I saw no harm in it. It's just a joke. Don't take it to heart! :)

7. Failed Boards

   JPrince replied to AGardenour1's topic in General Nursing

   I agree. Get an NCLEX book (I think I used one by Lippinkott which was really good - that was over 6 years ago, but I'm pretty sure that's what I used to study). You can get it at Barnes and Nobles, etc. It reviews everything and has tons of sampl...

8. Not so wise wisdom teeth

   JPrince replied to funinsun's topic in General Nursing

   Get em' yanked! While it was pretty painful (and I was only 15 when I got mine pulled)...it was the best decision!

9. Nurses: Delighted or Annoyed by Nursing Students?

   JPrince replied to AthensICURN's topic in General Nursing

   Bring on the student nurses! Love em'! I love to teach and the reason I enjoy students so much is that I remember myself when I was a student - hands on clinical training was the best experience! The more, the better! You're not going to learn si...

10. Starting IVs

    JPrince replied to amber1142's topic in New Nurse

    Also, consider the angle of your approach. Don't start with the needle at too much of angle. I start at least 10 a day and for me the trick is to hold the skin taught and then approach at a low angle so the needle is almost parallel with the area y...

11. my first year was awful .....now what?

    JPrince replied to opesgirl6's topic in New Nurse

    I agree with Dandif. I think because you're immediately starting out in telemetry which obviously isn't an area of nursing that you like, you're generalizing that every nursing field is like that. I'm here to say it is not. I started out in med/su...
