Lets look at the facts; Spell check and all may be wonderful online but when you are charting, the computers rarely, if ever, have spell check and there is absolutely little time to look up spelling. It is a fast paced world out there, takes all yo...

Let me tell you what I did. I almost flunked out. Then I discovered the glory of looking at the outline, looking for it in my text books, going to student study groups. MAN those are the things that got me through it all. Ask your instructor ques...

I think this is where the compact is going. There was disagreement and so those states that were willing to comply are joined, I believe 11 states now? It's getting there. I understand completely. I have a friend who is a traveling nurse, she tol...

I had lost my job because I reported unsafe practice, which was changed and then I became a focus for administration and was literally pushed out of my job. They dragged stuff up that was no longer on my record, minute things like omitting a Colace...

Cherry RN.... I have been there. When staffing is cut short so the administrators can have a raise (whom you never see out on the floor, they shut themselves up in a room with a closed door) the nurses feel it and ultimately the patient. Managers ...

I salute you! Thank your for taking a stand and having the back bone to be strong. Nursing is forever in a flux of change but the basics never do change. THank you.

A good friend of mine, also an RN is on it. She has lost 75 pounds. She eats anything she wants every other weekend. The only problem I have noticed: Attitude. She is crabby, short with people, angry and hard to be around! She complains about ...

Oh boy! this was me a year ago. I am now DON of a LTC facility, I walked in, the old one who was to train me left. This place is great; I cannot believe how different the stress is and how much more peaceful I feel. I still do blood draws etc, so m...

I also experienced this kind of behavior, I would like to say I made it a point to NEVER treat another like this. Having an RN degree just not give a person a license to be a jerk. I have seen new grads pick up this attitude too! SO I would think ...
We just had a survey and did fairlywell. Here's my problem: The state gave us a lot of FYI's which mean that next time they will look at these things but were not citable. My one problem, (Long term care) this piece of paper called the Report of...
