   1jacque replied to 1jacque's topic in General Nursing

   Nailed it, thats exactly the breakthrough I was having when I wrote this. It was hard to write because I am so not a pity seeking kind of person and it felt a bit... Poor me... But in writing my thoughts i was able to come to that realization, more b...

2. Just a Nurse

   1jacque posted a topic in General Nursing

   When I come home at night from a 12-15 hour day, or come home by day from a long enduring night my mind is spent. Emotionally, physically, I've given my all to patients who have no clue; their happiness comes before mine. I find myself thinking, why ...

3. I'm a sexless nurse

   1jacque replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

   Taking the genders comfort level into consideration is admirable. Knowing your capabilities/comfort level is good too. But in all honesty, there are male nurses who may have the compassion and capability to make a female even more comfortable than so...

4. Is this abuse how do I report?!

   1jacque replied to KMarieD's topic in General Nursing

   At our facility we were not allowed to force even with a POA demanding. Our doc looked into it and said it was against state law and I believe a federal offense. Many variables to this like, who failed to chart the actual occurrence that lead to this...

7. Quit during orientation

   1jacque replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

   Getting your foot in the door in a hospital setting doesn't guarantee a position there as a nurse upon graduation but would almost guarantee it. If another hospital hires you I would recommend staying. It is very physical and different type of respon...

8. Now THAT'S a lab result

   1jacque replied to emtb2rn's topic in General Nursing

   My Dad tried to off himself with 2 Liters of vodka. Literally went to his house and saw the empty containers while going to pick up his clothes... He was up and around and fully coherent by the next morning. I was dying to know what his labs read! Hi...

9. Horrible Charge Nurse

   1jacque replied to RNinSC88's topic in General Nursing

   I would be glad to have the help. But I also understand your frustration. You must have attentive characteristics and high quality of care standards. I have learned that it is irrational, the expectations for another coworker to uphold the standards ...

    The interview went great, the ADON and Manager told me they would hire me on the spot but have to clarify with corporate... Expecting a phone call within 24-48, fingers crossed. If not, maybe its time to consider more schooling and change routes. I k...

    1jacque replied to 1jacque's topic in General Nursing

    That is a good point. Just gotta get everyone on the same page. Going back to school or investing time elsewhere is a big possibility. You know prior to leaving the last job, what really made me try to find a new company was how I was treated. A frie...

    Yeah, they have no idea about the reprimand. They love me being here 24/7, I am going nuts not working though! They are the most amazing responsible kids. They have been great while I go into my "office" and off to interview. The last job was 12's wh...
