I am the lone night nurse on a small community hospital acute inpatient psychiatric unit. I agree with several salient points made by the OP & commenters. I value an "uneventful" night (no string of...

Happy holidays again. No wonder I'm a psych nurse: 12080

The only reason I went to nursing school was to become a nurse anesthetist; then I did a few psych rotations and I was hooked. If you suspect this specialty is something you would especially like for...

Thx, all. Happy Thanksgiving. Who else is working the holiday?

I finished SHU's RN-BSN online program about a year ago (its inaugural class). It took two years and seemed interminable, but I'm glad I did it. The only reason I enrolled was to be able to get into...

The three of us walk into a bar ...

We try to teach our children how to be good. Being innocent isn’t necessarily the same thing, and some day, when the sheen has worn off, becoming a virtuous person in this world will mean making hard...

Do rights return to author if original allnurses.com publication acknowledged?

Communicate with your state board as much as possible before registering for school. Congratulations on being accepted, by the way. They may give you ambiguous responses, but save the communication...

I know you guys are probably swimming in headaches since the upgrade, but I woke up this morning feeling a little upset. I submitted an article after the 15th evidently, but had received some very...

No problem. Thanks for the prompt response, sir. Is the contest over? Should I bother? Honest answer, please, because I would prefer to not submit if there's no point. Also, change is good....

In a loud, clear voice I specifically said, "Medium coffee. Two milks. One sugar." But when I took a sip, there was more cream (not milk) and sugar than actual coffee. I was running late for work and...

My article seems to have disappeared. Oh well.

Another dumb question: How are these contests judged? By the number of user 'kudos', comments, etc.? By staff? Pieces of paper in a hat? You'll probably say by some combination of the first two,...

@sir1: I get 'Antigonish' stuck in my head sometimes. Nice. Also: Why does this site (& 'Central') have these contests? Or rather, why (and how) do you pay enough money to make it worth...

Can I write about my personal experiences with turkey gravy and yule logs?

I'm of the opinion that "work experience" doesn't necessarily mean health care or nursing experience. I had several careers before graduating nursing school, none of which had anything to do with...

"what can I do to make my experience during my shift more positive?" One of the reasons I took a position working nights after I graduated was the downtime. I'll be finished with an online RN-BSN...

(I just deleted the beginning of a post about how people need to get over the negative connotations associated with the evil, demeaning term "customer service" when used in the healthcare context....

I'm almost done w/ an online RN-BSN program. I got my ASN through an accelerated program, started working & took a year off from school before starting this program. I work nights, so I have enough...

bottled water?

The main reason I love nights is because I don't have to work with a few other staff members on my unit. I couldn't do it. Rotten people with awful attitudes, garbage work ethics, who wallow in their...

Well done.

I thought I was going to be rich when I had an idea in nursing school for an organizer, but similar products already exist (like beataclasp).

Oops. Just posted an identical thread. Guess this is how you deal with it. Thx, an.
