1. Anyone working for CMS?

   Ruger replied to 2003rn's topic in Correctional

   Wow, what flew up your nose? You just make an assumption that I assume everyone who works for cms and complains is lazy? And my dear, don't assume you would run circles about me. I was comparing cardiac care which I thought was the hardest for me in ...

2. What do I do? Quit?

   Ruger replied to HelenLouise's topic in General Nursing

   Actually no it's not. This nurse is questioning what she is doing which is healthy...and they care despite how many years of experience they have. Honestly its about finding an area of nursing that you are most comfortable with. And maybe nursing is...

3. Whole class got same steth...

   Ruger replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Well just deal with the one you have, you can be efficient with a steth that only costs 5 dollars to make because they all are accurate. The nicer ones just have more quality and perks. Hell I'd put tinsel and hello kitty stickers around mine if I wa...

4. Need a vent -- disabled parking

   Ruger replied to DolceVita's topic in Disabilities

   Honestly screw her...evidently she is intimidated and from my experience people like her do not get anywhere. The last thing people want to do while in nursing school is to harass others...don't worry, work hard and if it is trouble some, just talk t...

5. Do nurses still time tape the bag when hanging fluids?

   Ruger replied to Selene006's topic in General Nursing

   I don't time tape unless like a previous user said if you are using a dial a flow. Any decent nurse after practice should be able to eyeball a bag and see if it is running right (simple math). I worked home care and a taught patients how to watch the...

6. Showing empathy?

   Ruger replied to RedXIII_'s topic in General Nursing

   Really, all empathy is, is I understand how you feel and it must be hard. So Mr. Mannequin, I understand how hard it is for you to be rubber and plastic. Trust me, you will only have one question on this for a test :) By the way, LOVE the Red XIII na...

7. Whole class got same steth...

   Ruger replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Get your own steth, a very nice one.

8. New Grad

   Ruger replied to Mandy1105's topic in General Nursing

   You are right, no one is hiring new grads in a hospital which I feel is due the economy. Hell, I've had experience in cardiac care/telemetry, home care and psych X 5 years and the hospitals have not accepted my applications. I am a community college...

9. My final practicum is in the ED...suggestions?

   Ruger replied to malestudentnurse's topic in Emergency

   Honestly, if you came this far you will be fine. Nursing really is just common sense. And like a previous poster said - if you don't know it, say so and find the answer. You will be fine...work hard and you will be rewarded.

10. What do I do? Quit?

    Ruger replied to HelenLouise's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, you DO NOT need to see a psychiatrist. I went through the same thing, you care about what you do, you give a 100% and it's still not good enough. Perfectionists and people who care put themselves through this. I totally wanted to end m...

11. Anyone working for CMS?

    Ruger replied to 2003rn's topic in Correctional

    I'm new to CMS and I love it. Most people who post negative responses to the company are in my opinion lazy and think everything should be handed to them. But I will not discredit those who may actually have a legitimate complaint. For me working cri...

12. What do you do when the CO's won't take action?

    Ruger replied to katkonk's topic in Correctional

    Honestly...I would straight up ask...would you want this prisoner to use the blade on your fellow officer? Or anyone else under their watch. End of story.

13. New Grad in Corrections

    Ruger replied to ibrn2010's topic in Correctional

    I just started corrections and I absolutely love it! I am not a new grad, but I know as of late it is hard for a nurse to get a job especially a new grad. I have five years of experience: acute care (telemetry/IMC X 3 years; psych X 5 mo; and home ca...
