   nsue replied to Nurse162's topic in General Nursing

   I have had 2 experiences where I have come across people who needed CPR. I still second guess my every move and choice. 1 person lived the other died. The one who died had a bike accident, he was face down gasping. I had 3 people help me turn log rd ...

2. Quitting during probation/orientation

   nsue replied to musiklover7000's topic in General Nursing

   I think as nurses we need to try different things until we find our niche. I thought I would like a fast paced job, but only lasted 2 months. I quit without notice. I didn't like feeling like I never gave my patients the attention they deserved, and ...

3. ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

   nsue replied to Anon143's topic in School Programs

   Yes my nursing school had the same policy. We lost 30 people out of 100 because they flunked out.

   nsue replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   I worked with a Male cna who simply got up and walked away whenever someone was gossiping. It quickly became apparent he was not interested.

   nsue replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

   Nothing good comes from gossip and stirring the pot. The ones who instigate it are trying to find ways to make themselves feel superior.

6. Does anyone here actually like nursing?

   nsue replied to Sumdaymurse's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, I love nursing! The thing I have found is that we have nowhere to vent our frustrations/concerns. Management has their own problems and don't have time to help or listen. The one thing I figured out is that nurses have to find a position where t...

7. Cry me a river...?

   nsue replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

   I personally try to never cry in public or even in front of my family. I have only cried 1 time at work when a manager was out of line. I think there are people who are more sensitive than others, there are also people who have other things going on ...

8. Playing Cards

   nsue replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Interesting she made a snarky comment about nurses talking out of both sides of their mouth, complaining they are tired yet she used being tired as an excuse for her dumb comment! The double standard here points out that she clearly has no understand...

11. How do people feel about male nurses?

    nsue replied to Natgurad's topic in Men

    I enjoy working with most male nurses. There have been times where I felt they were arrogant and thought they were better than female nurses. Nursing is an awesome career for anyone. Both genders make good nurses is they are competent and caring!

    nsue replied to nsue's topic in General Nursing

13. Afraid to quit my job

    nsue replied to nsue's topic in General Nursing

    Well it will probably take them months to find a replacement. And as leaving at 5 not gonna happen when they constantly throw admits at you at 2pm with no warning. I agree if circumstances were different but they don't care, so why should I. Thanks f...

    nsue replied to nsue's topic in General Nursing

    I am almist 60 and plan to work 5 years more then move to the coast. It would be unlikely to run into people from where I live down there. I am not worried about my reputation as I have excellent skills and get along with nearly everyone.

15. Afraid to quit my job

    nsue replied to nsue's topic in General Nursing

    My only problem with giving a month is they won't find anyone and will the new place wait? There was no rcm when i got there. They had hired a agency person for 3 months. I will be super uncomfortable looking at them every day in stand ups. If the jo...
