1. Most ridiculous patient requests?

   NurseLily22 replied to AOx1's topic in Relations

   I had a patient not too long ago take a shower and put on fresh new PJ's. Her mom had brought the PJ's and they were 10X too big, so my patient asks me to go home and bring some of my pajamas for her to wear since "we probably wear the same size".

   NurseLily22 replied to efda3's topic in General Nursing

   You sound exactly like me. Nursing is sooooo much not for me that I've been applying to every job that isn't health care related. I don't care to take a pay cut. I plan on doing PRN in psych nursing (I've only done med surg and ER) and doing a 9-5 jo...

   Couldn't have said it better myself. It seems like I'm in the same boat you are. I've realized that nursing was a HUGE mistake. Now I've got bills to pay and no way of going back to school to get a different degree. I'm stuck in this h*ll hole of a ...

6. Need to vent

   NurseLily22 replied to NurseLily22's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks to everyone. I have been looking up therapy online-so maybe that's a route I'll go with. I would love to be able to switch departments within my hospital-to maybe give another area a try but we have to be in our "home department" for 6 months ...

7. Need to vent

   NurseLily22 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I recently started working as an RN in the ER at a local hospital and I HATE it. I graduated in Dec 2009 and have been in the ER now for a few months and am still on orientation. I did med-surg for a little while before that. But I dread going to wo...
