   ToothFairy(5) replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in Relations

   I had one NM that we just could not work together. I knew her before she became our floors manager and we hated each other way back. So when she became the boss I put in my notice. Best move I could have made. ( our kids went to kindergarten together...

2. What is the general view of a home health nurse

   ToothFairy(5) replied to HHN2472's topic in Home Health

   Did home health for a long time. Loved it. I think you get more respect since you are alone out there with only your wits and creativity to utilize. I always felt well respected. But the most important thing is that you enjoy it.

3. Why did you become a Psych Nurse?

   ToothFairy(5) replied to Alicia_Has_Tats's topic in Psychiatric

   I was needing a change and had no idea what I wanted to try. So I thought back to my clinicals and I had loved my psych rotation. A friend of mine who did prn at the hospital said she did prn at a psych facility and that it was a good place to work. ...

4. Missed Call from Recruiter, Didn't Leave A Message

   ToothFairy(5) replied to PCnurse88's topic in General Nursing

   I would just call asap and say you saw the number on caller ID.

5. Does this seem like a good idea for me?

   ToothFairy(5) replied to driven_chick1's topic in Psychiatric

   That is why we love our pharmacists and calculators. I got a tutor in school even though I am not bad with numbers. But for some reason I was bad with drip calculations. I know that makes no sense to me either but we all have our strengths & weak...

7. How is your staffing ratio

   ToothFairy(5) posted a topic in Psychiatric

   So last weekend I had 14 patients to just myself and 2 techs. I hear this weekend will be the same. There are 15 for tomorrow. Now I have been a nurse a long time but this seems a bit much. Some of the patients are medical too as well as being psych....

   I just admitted one of my favorite frequent fliers today. I enjoyed every minute of the admit.

    ToothFairy(5) replied to wooh's topic in Humor

    OMG, I have done all that, have a box of gloves and a face/mouth guard in case I need to do CPR somewhere. LOL

11. Has this ever happened to you??

    ToothFairy(5) replied to Quit Floating Me's topic in Psychiatric

    Glad my employer does have the house supervisor replace us or offer to buy us dinner ( on them ) if we do get stuck working a double. We also get extra 3.00 an hour in that situation. But it still stinks if you have to go to class or my next job.

12. Applying to 'no experience necessary' jobs and being rejected for lack of experience?

    ToothFairy(5) replied to moodyred01's topic in Job Hunt

    I worked with a new grad in the ER. She had been a LPN in LTC for 4-5 years and got her RN. She had no problems getting the hospital position.

13. Applying to 'no experience necessary' jobs and being rejected for lack of experience?

    ToothFairy(5) replied to moodyred01's topic in Job Hunt

    Heck, I would do part time LTC and part time something else while getting my BSN and then try back into med-surg/hospital nursing. I wish you the best though.

14. Old nurse, New BSN, MED ERROR

    ToothFairy(5) replied to marace's topic in General Nursing

    At somepoint we have all made a mistake. It speaks highly of you that you took ownership of it. Let it go now. I like what ONCRN63 said. Print it out, then shred & burn it.

15. Excelsior Grads - Where are they now?

    ToothFairy(5) replied to EricJRN's topic in Excelsior

    Georgia will endorse if more than 1800 hours nursing experience. I just got my license from them. Just be warned they are incredibly slow in processing everything and letters of reference helps. Get letters from your director of nursing specifically ...
