   nurseeB replied to rainbowbright2's topic in General Nursing

   I passed NCLEX before I started working and had the same amount of orientation as the GNs. The only difference...the hospital didn't offer me the sign on bonus that they were offering the GNs. I had to go to HR and explain that although I had passe...

2. Is nursing a good career?how do i know if i will like it

   nurseeB replied to natcakes's topic in Career Support

   You could call some local hospitals and explain that you are thinking of majoring in nursing, but would like to shadow a nurse for a few shifts. Most places are willing to have you come in. This won't give you the total picture of nursing, but it w...

3. med error--real world answer?

   nurseeB replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

   I would have fixed it on the MAR and mentioned something to the nurses, but that is as far as I would have taken it. The whole point of chart checks is to catch anything that may have been missed. If missed orders/meds are a big problem on the floo...

   nurseeB replied to CABG patch kid's topic in General Nursing

   CABG patch kid, I hope your new preceptor is working out better for you. As for being asked to precept, I've never been asked. It's always been assumed that I would agree to precept. To tell you the truth, I loved every minute of it. I've heard ...

    I am fit to be tied! I have worked per diem for an agency on and off for approx. 2 years. One of the facilities I've gone to through this agency is hiring right now and I would LOVE to work for them. It's an awesome unit and I actually enjoy goin...

    nurseeB replied to GotoGirlRN's topic in Recovery

    GotoGirl I am so sorry you are going through this. It's just so sad that as nurses we take care of everyone else, but when it comes to our coworkers they just as soon stab you in the back as smile at you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers ...

    nurseeB replied to BlessedRoseRN's topic in General Nursing
