  1. Student Needs Interview about Financial Management

    They really like to torture us with this crap. We'd probably learn more just reading an article in a healthcare finance magazine. Heh heh.
  2. Student Needs Interview about Financial Management

    I'm sure you're right. I work the night shift, so I think I'm just going to BS this interview with the overnight nursing supervisor.
  3. Hello, all. It's been many years since I posted on allnurses.com. I started posting here when I was a first year student. After I earned by ADN, I kept the name. Now it's been 10 years and I'm a first year student again, sort of -- I'm earning my BSN...
  4. It seems probie's can't take a joke or laugh

    I had the opposite experience as a newbie. There was one older Christian nurse I was especially warned about that would talk to the manager if she heard anything that offended her.
  5. Med Error

    What do you mean, "make it past 5"? I've been a nurse for three years now and, on my floor, we don't eavesdrop on other people's telephone conversations and report other people's medication errors. If that makes me a bad nurse, then so be it.
  6. Am I approaching this in the wrong way?

    I used to worry about this kind of stuff, then I realized that if I was ever included in their group I'd be bored out of my skull. Who wants to listen to some idiot talk about the slacks she tried on a Target?
  7. Thank you food from nursing students

    Luna bars!!!!
  8. Med Error

    I'd stay out of it unless this guy makes a lot of errors. He knows he made an error. I'm sure he feels terrible about it. People make mistakes -- even people in the medical profession who know they need to be careful. Why do they make mistakes? Becau...
  9. Favorite Dr or Nurse Name

    I knew a Jamaican nurse named Comfort.
  10. Nursing Superstitions?

    A lot of the nurses on my unit believe that one of the rooms is bad luck and that if a patient gets assigned there it is more likely they will die.
  11. Is this "normal"?

    I've been practicing for three years. Most of the time I'm on top of this stuff, but some shifts you can just get so tangled up in minutae that you lose sight of the big picture (or am I wrong about this?). I don't know. Maybe what I should do is, af...
  12. Is this "normal"?

    Yeah, but the problem was it was supposed to be done before the end of the shift because of the chemo later...
  13. Help Needed Guys!!!!Plzzz

    What are you talking about? I never stop the IV machine when hanging a piggyback....
  14. What does it mean to be a nurse

    Lately, I've been looking at being a nurse as a little bit like being a garage mechanic.
  15. Is this "normal"?

    I don't know if I am just not cut out to be a nurse or this is par for the course. About one out of every 20 shifts I realize that there is something important that I forgot to do. I just get so busy sometimes things fall through the cracks. I try to...
