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...

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...

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. ...

i know it's the technology age and everything, but you're the most advanced two week old i've ever seen! :lol2: sorry, couldn't resist.

congratulations....i hope you like it!

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...

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...

sure you can. just choose not to have a life!

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

i don't personally use vocera, but i've been to units that do. from what i've seen...the nurse checking out gives their vocera to the charge nurse (so the charge nurse has like 10 at the end of the...

same here. there were some IV meds i could push, but NO critical care meds...and NO meds to pregnant women period.

exactly....MANY of these patients are on medicaid. not that i'm against medicaid, but isn't it enough that you're getting your care for free without asking the nurse to order something else because...

one time when i was working as a (new) tech on a med/surg floor there was a patient who asked me for peanut butter and graham crackers. she asked me to spread the PB onto the crackers for her which i...

that would be like a surgical tech (who i actually mistakened for a doctor once) wanting to know why the MD had to be there to make the incision? when i worked as a tech, i wasn't even allowed to...

no! incompatible meds can't be given through different ports in the same site. do you mean different lines? maybe this is a difference in semantics, but one line can have several different ports....

:yeah::yeah::yeah:

i agree! one time i went running around the hospital trying to find a red popsicle for a patient. i told one of my co-workers, "wow...when i was in the hospital after i had my children, i didn't even...

everyone is different. you might love LTC. plus, people often come here to vent. you don't get to hear all the positives. you get to know your patients and they get to know you. sometimes, you're...

i wonder how many assaults happen that aren't reported? i had a friend who had taken a CNA class with me. she had been a CNA before, but let her certification expire. she was so friendly and you...
