    First, stop and take a slow deep breath, Honey. Relax and listen....Your mind and body have been on over-drive for a while. It's okay. Idea: If you still would like to do nursing, take a break...

  4. I think I might hate nursing

    Have Nurse replied to Lexi256's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard to know what path to take sometimes, isn't it? I can't say that I agree with the statement that Nursing isn't as physical. That may be the case in LTC, but when I was doing bedside in a...

  5. New qualified nurse. Legs and KILLING me

    Have Nurse replied to SallyRi's topic in General Nursing

    It will help you a lot to wear good compression stockings. Elevate your feet at work while you are on break. Make sure do some gentle stretching if you can, before during and after work. Get that...

    Have Nurse replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    I understand. When I worked bedside years ago, I just wanted to really care for my patients and go home. But face it. The present Leadership may be limited and they need a rest too. So if an...

    I have great respect for you and what you have accomplished! I think working in Mental Health is one of the hardest jobs in the world. But, clearly due to your own journey, you bring compassion and...

    Have Nurse replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    That's one reason why we need to educate.

  11. Travel Nursing: The good, the bad, and why I probably will never do again-Part 1

    Have Nurse replied to Have Nurse's topic in Travel

    This has nothing to do with AFFORDING to send a fax. As a tenant in my building it is one of the privileges and I utilized it. And as far as the mentioned "high pay", I hadn't yet started so I hadn't...

  14. Doctor teaching nursing class

    Have Nurse replied to Christian96's topic in General Students

    Well, Doctors do not dictate nursing practice, but perhaps it might be enlightening just the same? On the job, sometimes our docs educate us and we appreciate it. You could check with Admin to see...

    Have Nurse replied to Have Nurse's topic in Travel

    If you are a Traveler and doing well, that's wonderful! Not all of us are so lucky and a lot depends on who you work for. You speak as though nothing can ever go awry with those who demand things to...

    Have Nurse replied to Have Nurse's topic in Travel

    Wow. So where did all this rage come from, and, who are you mad at? Nobody got cancelled and who said anything about winter driving?? Not sure who you are talking to, but it isn't me. And who...

  18. Please Help! Abandonment and Retro Pay

    Have Nurse replied to YellowBirdz's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly.

  19. Please Help! Abandonment and Retro Pay

    Have Nurse replied to YellowBirdz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not so sure. She can check with her state Labor Board. They are really good at going after what is owed for hours worked at

  20. Please Help! Abandonment and Retro Pay

    Have Nurse replied to YellowBirdz's topic in General Nursing

    Abandonment is not what this is. Abandonment is accepting an assignment at work and then leaving with no coverage for your patients. Your state labor laws can help you get paid what you are owed for...

  21. Nursing Home Supervisor challenges with WOUND CARE

    Have Nurse replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I'm thinking, not to mention reporting the L.P.N.s to the Board for falsifying records which incidently, is illegal. Put some teeth in

  22. What are your Thoughts on Bedside Reporting?

    Have Nurse replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing

  23. Medication administration confusion???

    Have Nurse replied to Mike DBD's topic in General Nursing

    Amen!

  24. Medication administration confusion???

    Have Nurse replied to Mike DBD's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really think it is fair to say that. Granted, when one hear horror stories in the news, it makes one take pause. However, to be honest, we are all human and any one us can make a mistake....

  25. Medication administration confusion???

    Have Nurse replied to Mike DBD's topic in General Nursing

    No. In MN the LPN may do Heparin flushes, Saline flushes, hang electrolytes, set up the saline and prep the tubing with saline for blood, cross check with an RN, do the vitals for the transfusion....
