   I began as a CNA and worked my way up the ladder. I have always answered the call to help, I have never and would never not answer the call to help even when I had pulled 72 hours in a row. Its what I do its what I CHOSE. I also had childern at the t...

   G MA RN replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

   I spent years working weekends. I also have worked many years on the floor. I received my degree to teach. There you go assuming you know, when you have NO IDEA.

   Thank you, I found your post to be kind. Please forgive me if I came off harsh. It was not meant to be. I have been in this game a long time and sometimes forget others have a different view then me. I love my profession, my patients, Doctors I have ...

4. Nurses eating their young

   G MA RN replied to nola1202's topic in General Nursing

   I have found most established Nurses like to TEACH and help out the newbies. If the Nurse is secure in her skills and not worried that you may know more then she does, because you are "fresh" out of school and possibly remember more of the educationa...

5. Social inadequacy and nursing.

   G MA RN replied to CaffinePrnPo's topic in General Nursing

   Be yourself. There is nothing wrong with being quiet. I have found some patients don't always want a "talker". Its about 50/50. Relax and be WHO YOU ARE, and not who you think everyone wants you to be. You sound like a very caring person and that is...

7. They won't stop calling me!

   G MA RN replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

   How exhausted can a weekends only Nurse get? Most of us do not work the "9-5" jobs and work 10+ hours a day 6-7 days a week. We have a family too. It is not the "problem" of the employer that one wants to be with family either. Have you read the Nurs...

8. I'm embarrassed, but can use some advice on time management

   G MA RN replied to nlk96's topic in Geriatric

   Do the PO meds first, other meds, g-tubes, then nebulizer txs. Can the laptop be pluged in at the patients room? If finger lances are called for they are usally morning orders. Those are very important. Remember ADL can some times be left for later....

    G MA RN replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Its not their responsibility that you have children either. Special Training cost money, you do hold some responsibility to pick up the slack when the need is present. We as Nurses have had to pull 2 or 3 shifts, many weekends, Holidays away from fam...

11. They won't stop calling me!

    G MA RN replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    And whom do you think should do the extra work while looking for replacements or training the new nursing staff. You do not seem to know much about "wound care." It is a highly "Specialized" field and not all can be trained to do this position. The o...

12. They won't stop calling me!

    G MA RN replied to optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Any time you recieved "special corporate training" you are pretty much at their beck and call. Not answering or ignoring the calls can and will cost you your job. Many medical facilites have no replacements in line when some one leaves or is fired. I...
