  1. Messing Up

    Nunya replied to rnlady112's topic in General Nursing

    And you did say he had an enjoyable two

  2. rotating shifts

    Nunya replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    I would ask because there are probably more people who want to work only days and if you work straight nights they'll get more days. And 2 weeks on days and then 2 on nights is ridiculous and...

  3. Second Guessing Myself. Did I handle this situation correctly?

    Nunya replied to RosalindaRN's topic in General Nursing

    You were concerned, your charge was concerned, the house sup was concerned and the ER doc was concerned. And you were all correct. Four to one ..the hospitalist screwed up and was trying to cover...

  4. How does on-call nursing work exactly?

    Nunya replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    And sometimes you're on call the entire shift, which means they can call you in at 5am on a night shift if they want. One job I had we were just on call from 7-10, if they didn't call by 10 we were...

  5. How could I do this?! Forgot to give report.

    Nunya replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Been there, done that. You'll never do it again. As long as the next nurse just laughed it off and you DID eventually give report it's fine. Every once in awhile your brain takes a vacay and stuff...

  6. Nurses with Unusual Diets

    Nunya replied to SilverBells's topic in Exercise and Healthy Living's Exercise

    We won't even talk about what all that pop is doing to your bones and

  7. Nurses with Unusual Diets

    Nunya replied to SilverBells's topic in Exercise and Healthy Living's Exercise

    You think a RHR of 130-150+ for 8+ hours means your body is tolerating your diet "quite well"? And you're a nurse? Oh

  8. New Nurse Needing Advice: Should it be this bad?

    Nunya replied to kale_'s topic in General Nursing

    Speaking from experience with this very thing, if you're crying all the time, not enjoying what you used to enjoy and breaking out in hives (thanks goodness THAT one didn't happen to me) then you need...

  9. New California Nurse to Patient Ratio

    Nunya replied to painmeds's topic in General Nursing

    So much for their highly touted nurse: patient ratio huh? I guess they should have said those are the ratios unless they don't have staff....? Maybe if people would do what they should be doing...

  10. If Nurses are "Essential", Why Can't We Be Treated Like It?

    Nunya replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    Hopefully you won't need an ambulance ride anytime soon but my Mom (and yes, this could be different b/c of Medicare) but everytime she gets an ambulance bill she calls to contest it. I have no idea...

  11. If Nurses are "Essential", Why Can't We Be Treated Like It?

    Nunya replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    There's a point at which working too much overtime doesn't become advantageous tax wise. I don't know where it is cuz I've never worked that much in one pay period. You need to stop it. Just say...

  12. Unable to do Chest Compressions

    Nunya replied to CarryThatWeight's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't hurt to ask though. As I used to say in the military "if you don't ask you don't

  13. Quick! Blame the Nurse!

    Nunya replied to vintagegal's topic in General Nursing

    I'm at a loss as to why you're still there? How long has this been going on? How many 16 hour days can you work without dropping? How much mental stress can you take before blowing

  14. Need flexible RN job

    Nunya replied to kar212's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't you still have a set schedule and a limited number of sick/vacation hours with all those jobs though? And some of them probably have less issue that you could trade shifts with. You could...

  15. New Nurse COVID Vaccine Clinic IM Injection Advice

    Nunya replied to CamperNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh, I did that once to a patient, still makes me nauseous to think about

  16. Love hospital job, but....

    Nunya replied to freesia29's topic in General Nursing

    If that's what you need to do for your health then do it. And it's for a medical reason, so if you need to consult a lawyer if they want you to pay the money back then I would do that also. Maybe...

  17. Coworkers Going Out During Pandemic, Hospital Admin Hypocrisy...

    Nunya replied to chachanurse101's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You can't control what people are doing on their off time, unfortunately. I've stopped following a few people because of this, it annoys me and it worries me because some of them are very high risk....

  18. Struggling with time management - what am I missing?

    Nunya replied to NewGradNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    To me it sounds like you're doing ICU patients with a med-surg ratio. I don't know why you're shutting down but at this point that seems like a good

  19. So Sick Of Rudeness At Work

    Nunya replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you replied to every one of those. Kindness is fine but don't let people verbally walk all over

  20. Huge Zoom Mistake....Nurse Instructors Caught!

    Nunya replied to Pre.Nurse_tobe's topic in General Nursing

    These professors need to be fired. The students should meet with the Dean and take it further if she/he does nothing. And if they're afraid of retaliation they will have a good case against the...

  21. New grad and newly pregnant, advice?

    Nunya replied to Bekah K's topic in General Nursing

    You're only 6 weeks, wait. I know a lot of people know early on they're pregnant but no one will think anything of it if you just let them assume you didn't

  22. Forced to another shift/floor when I have senority?

    Nunya replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. Just. Say.

  23. Work refuses call out?

    Nunya replied to Nurseynurse11's topic in General Nursing

    Please tell me she didn't keep that job! Right there it's stupidity x

  24. First time working night shifts - advice?

    Nunya replied to kubelkabondy's topic in General Nursing

    And not just family but friends too. They'll forget you're working nights, or they just won't care. My suggestion is to turn your phone off, including text notifications. If there's somebody who you...

  25. Needing Suggestions

    Nunya replied to KimInKy's topic in General Nursing

    I've always used a very basic brain sheet, name on top and the shift hours going down in a column with what I need to do next to the hour. Any info I need to remember/follow up on is at the bottom...
