1. OT

   nonnocere808 replied to nonnocere808's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for all your responses. It's strange because I have been given very strict hours, am exempt, am doing a notable amount of OT, and am essentially a staff nurse due to staffing issues. I will likely change positions as this in not what was exp...

2. OT

   nonnocere808 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello, Quick question. I accepted an exempt nurse supervisor position but have not been provided with a job description and have been doing staff nurse work primarily. I have been working a lot of OT. The contract I signed states I am not eligible...

3. Employment background check

   nonnocere808 replied to HopefulRN4's topic in Job Hunt

   Hello, If I only started orientation somewhere (2 weeks) and realized it wasn't a good fit (IE never on the floor), do you think it is necessary to put it in an application? Some apps only have space for 5 jobs so I assumed it better to just not inc...

4. I just need some advice - or a hug. One or the other.

   nonnocere808 replied to Doxie_loverRN's topic in General Nursing

   Nurses are caring, so this might be hard to do, but one of the best pieces of advice I have received when feeling burnt out was to "try not to internalize everything." Yes, it is stressful to be running all of those heparin gtts and a blood transfus...

5. PORT TIPS

   Thank you so much for your advice. :)

6. PORT TIPS

   nonnocere808 posted a topic in Infusion

   Hello. I was wondering if anyone had any pointers for accessing a port that is not defined well through the skin. I have a patient with a port that is hard to see. It is a power port and I can not feel the bumps. It always takes me two attempts an...

7. I think I want to quit nursing...

   nonnocere808 replied to miscangelious's topic in Med-Surg

   Every nurses' first year of nursing has shifts like this. Like Brianna said, just remember the good moments and hold tight. Learning is a struggle, but you will get there. You have to fall to learn how to walk. With that being said, if you ever f...

8. HIPAA and Demanding Family Members

   nonnocere808 replied to Taiin's topic in HIPAA

   I think you handled this perfectly. Even if it seems ridiculous to the family member, you need to protect your patient's privacy.

9. Being blamed for fall after shift

   nonnocere808 replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

   agree

10. How much are nurses making? 2015 Salary Survey results available soon.

    nonnocere808 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Quite the generalization....

11. Doc calls nurse coworkers monkeys...

    sphincterman is too good

12. Dumbest thing a doctor has done/said to you

    nonnocere808 replied to WorriedNurse25's topic in Relations

    How do you physically tell someone something?

13. Nursing is the Biggest Mistake of My Life

    nonnocere808 replied to almost_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You will get a job eventually. Just keep applying and all of the sudden, everyone will call you at once and you won't know what to do. Even in NYC, where there is a surplus of nurses, this is true. Don't freak out yet. Also, your fiance sucks.

14. Is nursing school REALLY that hard?

    nonnocere808 replied to Courtney M's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is more difficult than the NCLEX. Its difficulty is dependent on who you are and what school you are enrolled in. You will probably be fine. If not, then you can try again.

15. I'm I crazy?

    nonnocere808 replied to sugar12's topic in General Nursing

    I commute an hour and fifteen minutes (on the subway). I like it. I read or listen to music. It's my moment of piece and there is no cell service, so no one can reach me.
