1. Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

   operations replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

   Really? That's actually pretty pathetic. If you read the post you wouldn't need to be told I was talking about CRNA. Like I literally described the role. How juvinille.

   Actually it should have been CRNA school. I could not edit the post in time. Sorry lol

3. CHOOSING specialties, where to begin?

   operations replied to operations's topic in General Specialties

   Topic has been here for days and viewed. No one had anything to say on the subject? Too broad of a question?

4. Those Overly Exaggerating Nursing Stories

   operations replied to Cvepo's topic in General Nursing

   I find time to pee because I have time management skills. And I don't get emotionally involved with my job. A baby being born is a nice thing, but it isn't my baby, so it's not special to me. Seeing a beating heart is a cool experience, but I don't...

   You learn ethics etc. Technically, your ticket into nursing is Nclex stamp of approval. I truly believe BSN does not make you that much better of a nurse, but it does make you more rounded professional/leader. Most hospitals don't care about BSN as m...

   operations replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

   Actually I just noticed this. I worked on CCU and everyone there had plans of going somewhere else. It is fine and all, but I remember one new grad that was terrible with foleys at first and always needed (me, the tech) to help or take over. Within m...

7. Unable to Advance my RN Position

   operations replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

   I think the boundary made with the boss is definitely important. If OP can discuss something that she can hold her boss accountable to and have it in writing, she will have more leverage. And, if she must leave the job then she can tell the next empl...

   operations replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

   Honestly I think this is the future of healthcare., even medicine. Nursing is an evolving career. I believe it will intertwine more with medicine in the future and the two will become two sides of the same coin rather than the nurse being considerate...

9. Assessments Study Tools

   operations replied to SunshineNRainbows's topic in General Students

   Which class are you in? That's gonna depend on what you need a guide for. Ex 103 focuses on "normals" at my school.

10. First skill evaluation - Hand washing and donning/removal PPE

    operations replied to Elven_RN's topic in General Students

    Let me tell you about Foleys. Learned them in training and got checked off at my new tech job years ago. That day I was thinking of that I should follow some nurses around when I start and watch them every chance I get, then do one. Felt completely ...

11. Bullying by Nurses and CNa

    operations replied to nadomel's topic in Relations

    I am proud of you OP. You were right to stand your ground against the bullies or awful people replying to the post. It's not our place to always judge someone's credibility. That's why I said "based on what you said". You needed the benefit of the do...

12. Bullying by Nurses and CNa

    operations replied to nadomel's topic in Relations

    I absolutely respect your actions. I would rather work with someone who is a good example of a professional like you than all those poor excuses who harassed you.

13. Bullying by Nurses and CNa

    operations replied to nadomel's topic in Relations

    The cargivers were bullying and needed corrective action. The behaviors of the cargiver crossed the line when they neglected their duties and impacted patient care. They did this willfully and with complete disregard to the patient's wellbeing. Base...

14. Unable to Advance my RN Position

    operations replied to Volley88's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you see you are getting played? They weren't "forced" to leave you in this position. They chose to. And now they are making every excuse so you accept their choice easier. How did the other employees get into this position? They must have had ...

15. Seniority

    operations replied to lexyrn71's topic in General Nursing

    If you are thinking you are entitled to anything based on seniority or age in the workplace that is non negotiated and in writing, you are gravely mistaken. That's a very conservative and naive view. And it's just not the way things are, not that I...
