  1. Nursing paper help

    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 rehab, long-term care and hospice patients. ï‚· What...
  2. 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 still share some of the responsibility for raising h...
  3. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

    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 nice to be appreciated. It's not like I ask for gif...
  4. Contact nurse manager directly - a good idea??

    Hmm, good question. I recently applied for five jobs and am wondering if I should also contact the hiring managers. Following.
  5. 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 of the interviews you have, and see which offers ...
  6. How much PTO does everyone get?

    I haven't accumulated any PTO over the last 2 years I've worked at my employer.
  7. So, the other day, I had a family member who gave me a card as a thank you from the patient, as a sign of appreciation, especially since they knew it would likely be my last time working with her. They left it with me before I could refuse to accept ...
  8. Need input! Whats your experience with critical thinking?

    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 refused to retain the information it needed to, a...
  9. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    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 room.
  10. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    No, no, no! But it happens and it's very annoying. Why does their addiction allow them more breaks than me?
  11. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    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 them difficult when they've come back from one of ma...
  12. dream job ended

    Sorry to hear of your experience. I know what it's like to put everything you have into a job, and still, it doesn't work out. I know what it's like when people you thought liked you were actually saying things behind your back. I can relate to al...
  13. Brand new nurse; need advice to get through my first year of work!

    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 honest feedback right away. The LAST thing you want...
  14. Problems with nursing profession and why I want to quit

    Love every word of this
  15. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    I'm not sure that we are the "most respected profession." However, I can understand that she was most likely hoping for some gain in her career by claiming to be a nurse.
