1. Nursing paper help

   RockinNurse2018 replied to CBerries's topic in General Nursing

   Who did you interview? What is their role? What is the setting of their work as a nurse? Without identifying my current location, I am a nurse currently working in a SNF which cares for short-term...

2. Can I work three 12hours shifts while going to school for BSN

   RockinNurse2018 replied to Treeanaxo's topic in General Students

   That sounds like too much. 12 hours shifts, especially 3 in a row, are exhausting. Nursing school is also exhausting. Plus, you have a little one, and even though your boyfriend helps a lot, you...

3. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

   RockinNurse2018 replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

   I'm pretty sure we're not technically supposed to accept gifts for our services. But, as I mentioned, if someone wants to show gratitude, why not? There are many thankless days in nursing, so it's...

5. New grad: have interviews this week but preferred job interview is scheduled next month?

   RockinNurse2018 replied to coldcore's topic in General Nursing

   All I can say is, don't expect job offers from anybody. You'll be severely disappointed if you expect to be hired from any one particular employer and they choose not to hire you. I would go on all...

8. Need input! Whats your experience with critical thinking?

   RockinNurse2018 replied to gromit1084's topic in Critical Care

   My experience is that it has taken me 2.5 years to develop any sort of critical thinking process at all. In fact, my first nursing position ended during orientation over 2 years ago because my brain...

9. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

   RockinNurse2018 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

   I'm typically not in any one patient's room too long to have any of those types of visitors bother me. If it does bother me, and there are no immediate needs the patient has, I excuse myself from the...

    No, no, no! But it happens and it's very annoying. Why does their addiction allow them more breaks than

11. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    RockinNurse2018 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. I'm sorry they have an addiction, but I'm very sensitive to smoke, and if the smell is strong enough, I have trouble breathing. I have many coworkers who smoke, which can make working near...

    Just making it through orientation will be an accomplishment, especially on a cardiac floor. Trust me on that. If you or your preceptors are noticing any issues, ADDRESS THEM RIGHT AWAY. Ask for...
