  1. 4 yrs, Low experience, Hospital

    Hello and welcome to our forum @LexxNervous ☺️ Those ratios are fairly consistent across many med surg units in MA. I will say more than four patients on 7:00 to 3:00 and 3:00 to 11:00 is hard. Especially 3:00 to 11:00 where you get hit with adm...
  2. How do I fix my attitude?

    LOL this is so true. I have a assistant nurse manager who loves to ask me to work and then complains when I occasionally cost her overtime even though I'm saving her department from running short due to call outs. The other day she sends me this...
  3. New Nurse Get Daisy Award?

    To answer your question I'm never mad about being fed 😂 That being said I do think charm plays a great deal into people winning awards... But I also like to see my colleagues be recognized for their acts of kindness/ excellence whether they are ...
  4. New to home infusion nursing

    Hi OP, I realize this is a really old post so you may not see this...but on the off chance you do wondering how you like home infusion nursing?
  5. Supervisor transitioning to IV RN

    Curious if you ever found a position as an IV nurse? There is a big difference between being good at peripheral IVs and being a PICC nurse. I started out by asking the IV nurse to teach me how to place regular peripheral IVs (PIV) then made it k...
  6. That's horrific and unacceptable care. I'm so sorry you had to experience that.
  7. Trying to switch specialty. Job tips

    You might want to give a brief explanation as to why you want to work on a mother baby floor. Personal experience or just what about it draws you. Think of experiences you've had on your current floor where your empathy and critical thinking made a d...
  8. New NP Reported As RN From Previous Employer

    Hello OP, I feel for you, and how difficult your situation is. If I understood you correctly your RN license has been under investigation with no formal findings for over 2 years? This hasn't placed any restrictions on your ability to work as an...
  9. Nurses Combating the Health Risks of Working Nights

    I've worked all the shifts, but for the past 15 years or so it's been 7p-7a 24hrs/ week at my hospital and then home infusions at people's houses the remainder of the week. I love having an acute and a non acute nursing job. It allows me to be a nigh...
  10. Can't Find My Calling

    You sound like you may be a good fit for an area that does procedures such as cath lab or Endo or Infusion nursing. All generally 9-5 or similar hours Mon through Friday. You perform similar tasks/ assist with procedures in a structured environment. ...
  11. Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

    This is why palliative consults are necessary. They cut right to the chase of quality over quantity. In fact I've seen some people get both by having their symptoms managed in a non-aggressive manner. If someone has a poor prognosis it should automat...
  12. How to Deal with Staff Who Don't Like You?

    Agreed. The bigger the place the less likely to be trapped with petty people who succeed off the work of others. Also research culture, non profits are less likely to have these types of people. Positions with a lot of autonomy are also less likely t...
  13. How to Deal with Staff Who Don't Like You?

    This is fantastic @subee ?
  14. How to Deal with Staff Who Don't Like You?

    "Presume good will" I like that. Thanks for sharing! To the OP: We all have a default level of expectations for others that we meet. Optimistic people tend to give people the benefit of the doubt more easily and not be as easily offended. D...
  15. Nurses are Pushed to the Brink

    I think we'll run out of nurses who know how to take care of vented patients first ? and if this ship doesn't turn around soon we probably will be rationing ventilators by Feb-March.
