  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

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

    operations replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

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

  3. CHOOSING specialties, where to begin?

    operations posted a topic in General Specialties

    Hello, I am looking for information on how to choose specialty. I have alot of experience in wide variety of areas (ER, CCU, floated on all hospital floors, even a little in medical records) Most...

  4. 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

  5. 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...

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

    operations replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    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...

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

    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...

  8. 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...

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

    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...

  10. 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

  11. 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...

  12. Bullying by Nurses and CNa

    operations replied to nadomel's topic in Patient, Colleague 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...

  13. Bullying by Nurses and CNa

    operations replied to nadomel's topic in Patient, Colleague 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

  14. Bullying by Nurses and CNa

    operations replied to nadomel's topic in Patient, Colleague 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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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....

  17. I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    operations replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel OP. I've been waiting for ever for my nursing school to actually guide me and focus on making me a great nurse rather than have me spend all my time navigating nursing school and...

  18. How do I delegate?

    operations replied to scrubs0204's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Delegate appropriately. This is something that some nurses get wrong. They choose to be BOSSY by delegating as much as possible, over being a LEADER, by delegating when it's the BEST choice. Or, they...

  19. Fired By My Patients

    operations replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I agree that some nurses come off snobbish. And if they don't care that they do, it's a serious problem. I truly believe you cannot be a nurse and not make empathy a priority. Because if you only do...

  20. Socially needy coworkers

    operations replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This is a judgement call. If you see someone looking at a chart to learn, I would not report it. If you see someone looking at the chart of someone they know, because they are nosey, then that...

  21. Socially needy coworkers

    operations replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds incredibly passive aggressive. Unfortunately, micromanaging when you do not have the authority to is a form of workplace aggression. This takes precedence helping her with her social needs....

  22. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    operations replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry this happened to you. I agree the above comment was delivered poorly. However, I think they just wanted to share the strange

  23. What is a challenging specialty

    operations replied to direw0lf's topic in General Specialties

    Internally I am the most nervous person in my nursing class. In fact, I am thinking of going into something more basic than the extensively in depth specialties because of it... Yet I am making the...

  24. Why? Why is it so hard to find a job I like?

    operations replied to DaisyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Working nights and crazy hours does a physical toll on our bodies, and because of that, the lucrative pay dangled before us to tempt us into these positions ends up becoming the money we spend of...

  25. Nursing Student Afraid I Have Mental Illness

    operations replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I do not mean to diagnose, but I suspect the student may have anxiety disorder related to her past ADHD diagnosis (she seems to "fatalize" here different personality states and have some...
