    EDNURSE20 replied to Robin Verde's topic in General Nursing

    EDNURSE20 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in General Nursing

    I would wait and see how the job goes before you go looking for another per diem job. Ive been working per diem for almost two years. At first I was worried like you, but it’s turned out to be a...

    EDNURSE20 replied to Pmb's topic in General Nursing

    Not a new grad, I was in 2017 when I made the username, and can’t seem to change my username now. Still think it’s a lame excuse. They suddenly remember after a drug test that they took the...

  8. Positive pre-employment drug screen! What will happen?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Pmb's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a lame excuse to me. Instead of just owing up, you trying to tell us, as a nurse you just took the pills in front of you and didn’t notice it was a different pill at all? I’ve...

  9. Should I do my "year in med surg"?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Decisions7's topic in General Nursing

    I 100% agree with the above poster. Don’t be afraid to stay in MH if that’s what you like.You can always change specialties in the future. Don’t believe people who say you’ll be stuck in MH...

  10. New nurse starting in 2 days- want to make her feel really welcome!

    EDNURSE20 replied to AngelKissed857's topic in General Nursing

    I think you just need to make her feel like part of the team and be nice to her. You don’t need to buy her anything. Just include her in things. And help her out while she gets settled into her...

    EDNURSE20 replied to tennesseern18's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is easy. You about to have another baby and you don’t hate your job. Stay where you are, get your home life sorted. And when your ready start looking around at options. You have plenty...

    EDNURSE20 replied to Iggy123's topic in General Nursing

    I’m glad I’m not in the USA. Just writing that a pt slept seems like a big deal. All I write is: pt appears to have slept well. Nil

  13. 5 must-know tips for new RN

    EDNURSE20 replied to anm's topic in General Nursing

    1. Take care of your self. Have your breaks. Leave on time. Don’t do lots of extra shifts because you feel you can’t say no. This only leads to burn out. 2. Give it a full year before you make...

  14. In Need of Some Advice Please

    EDNURSE20 replied to urijahsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    I agree the 2 hour commute is far to long. Youll be doing long hours, and driving becomes dangerous. Plus you have young kids you won’t get to see at all on the days you work. I use to have an hour...

  15. Dialysis nursing pros/cons?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Lani blaskett's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s all about getting pt in and out as fast as possible. Very little education. Very little hands on or nursing skills. Very repeative. And not normally 1:1. If you...

  16. Feeling embarrassed, ask the md a stupid question

    EDNURSE20 replied to RobertJo's topic in General Nursing

    We’ve all been there! The good thing is the doctor didn’t make a big deal about it. Some can be so rude and make you feel like a idiot. In future if your unsure always talk to your more senior...

    If you want to stay in the emergency department, I see you have 3 options. - Management such as charge nurse - advance role like NP - or as a educator for the department. Decide which area is more...

  18. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    EDNURSE20 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    I didn’t read all the comments before posting. Didn’t realise there was argument going on. But probably should have known, Ive been part of this argument before. And not interesting in doing it...

  19. Nurses that “only do it for the money”

    EDNURSE20 replied to AFJ32780's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with a lot if these comments. Why would you put your self threw school to work a job you not actually interested in? Nursing isn’t glamourous in anyway. Shift work, nights, weekends,...

  20. I did this so in trouble

    EDNURSE20 replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    I found this really hard to read. Very confusing structure. But what I can gather from this is you were in the wrong. If they want you to work somewhere else you can’t just say no this ward needs...

  21. Generation Z

    EDNURSE20 replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    I’m 25 so don’t quite know where I fit in this question. I definitely don’t fit the millennial stereotype. I have notice a big difference between myself and those that are 21, who went straight...

  22. Did my Interview go well? Or don’t count on a call?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Adri1992's topic in General Nursing

    Wait! You finished a couple of months ago and you’ve already had two jobs? And already tried to get a thrid. Secondly you ask what type of population they see? It’s L&D! There’s not that...

  23. New chapter in life

    EDNURSE20 replied to charliekins's topic in General Nursing

    I’m assuming you like your job, so why don’t you see if you could job share? Stay there after having your child but only work 1 or 2 days a week and they can hire some one else to cover the rest...

  25. What do you do...

    EDNURSE20 replied to hungup's topic in General Nursing

    Can’t say I’ve ever seen ED empty. And it’s quite rare for all pt care to be done when working on different floors. But normally if there are too many staff they get sent to other departments to...
