  1. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

    RockinNurse2018 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, the other day, I had a family member who gave me a card as a thank you from the patient, as a sign of appreciation, especially since they knew it would likely be my last time working with her....

  2. Nursing paper help

    RockinNurse2018 replied to CBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Who did you interview? What is their role? What is the setting of their work as a nurse? Without identifying my current location, I am a nurse currently working in a SNF which cares for short-term...

  3. Can I work three 12hours shifts while going to school for BSN

    RockinNurse2018 replied to Treeanaxo's topic in General Students

    That sounds like too much. 12 hours shifts, especially 3 in a row, are exhausting. Nursing school is also exhausting. Plus, you have a little one, and even though your boyfriend helps a lot, you...

  4. Why are nurses the only profession that cannot accept gifts?

    RockinNurse2018 replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure we're not technically supposed to accept gifts for our services. But, as I mentioned, if someone wants to show gratitude, why not? There are many thankless days in nursing, so it's...

  5. Contact nurse manager directly - a good idea??

    RockinNurse2018 replied to bm.walker's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, good question. I recently applied for five jobs and am wondering if I should also contact the hiring managers.

  6. New grad: have interviews this week but preferred job interview is scheduled next month?

    RockinNurse2018 replied to coldcore's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is, don't expect job offers from anybody. You'll be severely disappointed if you expect to be hired from any one particular employer and they choose not to hire you. I would go on all...

  7. How much PTO does everyone get?

    RockinNurse2018 replied to Camino77's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't accumulated any PTO over the last 2 years I've worked at my

  8. Need input! Whats your experience with critical thinking?

    RockinNurse2018 replied to gromit1084's topic in Critical Care

    My experience is that it has taken me 2.5 years to develop any sort of critical thinking process at all. In fact, my first nursing position ended during orientation over 2 years ago because my brain...

  9. State Surveyors Are Here...What Do You Do?

    RockinNurse2018 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, you get to work in the morning, not only to find out that you are short a nurse, and you'll be expected to cover an entire floor on your own, but there's another surprise--state surveyors are...

  10. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    RockinNurse2018 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I'm typically not in any one patient's room too long to have any of those types of visitors bother me. If it does bother me, and there are no immediate needs the patient has, I excuse myself from the...

  11. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    RockinNurse2018 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    No, no, no! But it happens and it's very annoying. Why does their addiction allow them more breaks than

  12. Nurses Smoking: Compassion Instead of Judgement

    RockinNurse2018 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. I'm sorry they have an addiction, but I'm very sensitive to smoke, and if the smell is strong enough, I have trouble breathing. I have many coworkers who smoke, which can make working near...

  13. dream job ended

    RockinNurse2018 replied to singleye's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear of your experience. I know what it's like to put everything you have into a job, and still, it doesn't work out. I know what it's like when people you thought liked you were actually...

  14. Brand new nurse; need advice to get through my first year of work!

    RockinNurse2018 replied to teejayyy's topic in Cardiac

    Just making it through orientation will be an accomplishment, especially on a cardiac floor. Trust me on that. If you or your preceptors are noticing any issues, ADDRESS THEM RIGHT AWAY. Ask for...

  16. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    RockinNurse2018 replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure that we are the "most respected profession." However, I can understand that she was most likely hoping for some gain in her career by claiming to be a

  17. Charge nurse calls doc at night

    RockinNurse2018 replied to Nurse-please's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, I've never had this issue. Mostly, because, when the managers are not around, our supervisors prefer the floor nurses handle as much as we can on our own. We are expected to make phone calls to...

  18. Hiring Mgr: We will let you know in 2 weeks

    RockinNurse2018 replied to chaki's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is true that my experiences do not apply to all situations. I was just commenting what I have noticed for myself, so far. I apologize if I implied that nobody ever gets nursing jobs if...

  19. Nursing answer to my struggles?

    RockinNurse2018 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm, wanting to work higher paying jobs isn't really a good reason for picking nursing. You will be dissatisfied if pay is all you're going after. Don't pick nursing because it seems like there are...

  20. New Areas to Explore? HELP

    RockinNurse2018 replied to msilver2625's topic in General Nursing

    Be grateful you are doing well enough to stay employed as a cardiac nurse. One day, you may regret not appreciating the job as much as you should and/or wanting to be somewhere else. You may end up...

  21. Hiring Mgr: We will let you know in 2 weeks

    RockinNurse2018 replied to chaki's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, more than likely, they are not going to offer you the position. Any job offer I have ever gotten has fallen within the same week of the interview. Any longer than that, and I find...

  22. Liar, liar pants on fire!

    RockinNurse2018 replied to Wuzzie's topic in General Nursing

    As a lawmaker, her income is way higher than most nurses will ever see. Why pretend to be

    RockinNurse2018 replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    Just thinking...what are good specialties for INFJ nurses? I realize each person is going to be different but found the description of INFJ to be very accurate so I was wondering where others have...
