  1. Getting the CNAs to see priorities

    I quite understand your dilemma, however, let's re-group here and consider some things: CNAs are not nurses. They are not taught theory. They are just what they are taught to be, assistants. If you need a special blood sugar get it yourself. Organize...
  2. Disturbing incident in triage .....

    My daughter was misdiagnose with the same thing. She was only 14 at the time. I did some investigating and had a chat with a pediatric nuero/endoncrinologist of all things. (She is also diabetic). He informed me that many kids are misdiagnosed as...
  3. recent colonoscopy experience

    Wow! I am so sorry you had to experience that. My mom died from colon cancer. She had her tests every year after age 50 and nothing showed up until a year before her death. By then it was too late. She had no symptoms if you can believe it. She ...
  4. **Start Celebrating! A new RN is born!!!** =)

    Well done, Kiddo! When I got my RN license in the mail, I opened it, and dropped to my knees! Praise the Lord!! WE made it! Now the fun begins......:welcome:
  5. Was I out of line ?

    I disagree. The doctor is the one who was out of line. True we are suppose to be a team. Not all doctors feel that way. If she misunderstood, fine. She didn't. Any physician who says to a nurse, especially an inexperienced one, "then I am not go...
  6. Was I out of line ?

    You are correct in quoting the physician. If this case ever ended up in a court of law, quotes are appropriate. You have a license to protect, and so does your facility. The doctor should have chosen his words better if he was so concerned. I ha...
  7. Recruiter Interview After Manager Interview?

    It could be that the Interviewer has certain criteria she has to follow with H.R to be compliant with the hiring process. I wouldn't worry. Sometimes facilities do things backwards....(grin)
  8. job interview

    I wouldn't say anything negative about anything regarding your previous job. Perhaps you could say that you needed a change and would like to expand your horizons, so to speak. This tells them that you are eager to learn and be flexible. Good luck...
  9. Unanswered Questions Pleas Help Delaware

    Most hospitals don't comment on wage as many are governed by how many years of experience comes into play and Union rules regarding pay. Just a hint: Don't ask about pay right off the bat when you interview. It looks as though that's the only reas...
  10. pleas help/Nursing on call

    Most facilities have a policy regarding this issue but it isn't always the same. Is your facility a Union facility? If it is, the Union has their own rules about this. Most facilities pay minimum wage and then if you are called in, your normal wage...
  11. "The Jesus Factor"

    Jesus commanded believers in the Bible before He went up to Heaven and told them "Go to all the world" and share the message of forgiveness and love, eternal life. It is an act of obedience she is doing to God, regardless of denomination. She has ...
  12. How many times can you take boards?

    Contact your state nursing board to be sure.
  13. Are you required to wear nursing cap for graduation??

    Back in 1991 I loved wearing my cap too. However, as time went by, it got in the way, coming loose, curtains in a pt room hitting it, falling off, and one also had to keep it clean and starched. We were required to wear it for Graduation, as its' des...
  14. Manager expects me to stay once I graduate

    Stop eating our young!!!! She will see wisdom in time. It isn't fair to stand on your soapbox and ream her out when she is still finding her place. Knock it off.
  15. Manager expects me to stay once I graduate

    It sounds like you have really thought this through for quite a while. If you are able to privately share your concerns in a respectful yet direct way with your manager, it may help. If you feel that you must leave your facility, do so. Give a prop...
