  1. I need your advice/opinion desperately

    blueskynurse9 replied to throwaway1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, you did mention that. That's what I get for coming on here after getting stuck working a 16 hour shift. She was extremely frustrated and uncomfortable. If you didn't actually voice your own...

  2. I need your advice/opinion desperately

    blueskynurse9 replied to throwaway1's topic in General Nursing

    The patient was very uncomfortable for obvious reasons and needing to void. She asked to use a bedside commode and was refused one. What other options was she

  3. LTC nurses...

    blueskynurse9 replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I wasn't saying anyone in particular that commented was pissed off. There are more nurses here that just read the forums here than participate. You're right, she is trying to pick a fight. Hugs to you...

  4. LTC nurses...

    blueskynurse9 replied to Cora_Ann's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's difficult to decipher what you're trying to say here. Exactly what the previous poster said though; you posted your gripes on a LTC nursing forum. What were you really expecting? I do think you...

  5. Allnurses helped me get my act together (almost quit nursing)

    blueskynurse9 replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Put down your gun Annie Oakley

  6. First RN job- LTC or Home Health?

    blueskynurse9 replied to loganno31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If your desire is to work in the hospital, I would advise you to take the job in LTC. You will learn excellent time management skills, nursing assessment skills and the dynamics of working in a...

  7. Agency for LPN job?

    blueskynurse9 replied to Tiabluesky's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    As a new grad you should definitely apply directly. When working for an agency you're expected to hit the ground running (literally!) and there is no orientation offered. Not a safe scenario fresh out...

  8. Should I feel bad for not picking up shifts?

    blueskynurse9 replied to cheesypuff's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's not worth your license or your sanity. If the conditions are as bad as you say; avoid this place at all costs. Personally I wouldn't work at either location because it sounds like they...

  9. Should I feel bad for not picking up shifts?

    blueskynurse9 replied to cheesypuff's topic in General Nursing

    She feels obligated, but then thinks about her license and

  10. Sweet/sad show about Nursing Home

    blueskynurse9 replied to nervousnurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think you may mean the show, Getting On? If so, yes.

  11. Do not feel like a nurse

    blueskynurse9 replied to Jenlisa8's topic in General Nursing

    I got a sense that you were feeling that way from your post. We can be so hard on ourselves for no good reason. We have to remember nursing is not a competition and we are there for the benefit of our...

  12. Do not feel like a nurse

    blueskynurse9 replied to Jenlisa8's topic in General Nursing

    If you passed the NCLEX you're a nurse. You said you've been working mostly in homecare since 2006. Have you been able to provide good patient care with all of your cases? Did you feel confident while...

  13. 3 nursing jobs in 2 years. Unhirable?

    blueskynurse9 replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Newbie. I really do feel for you. Reading through your posts there is a recurrent theme of very low self esteem along with anxiety and depression. You have mentioned that you had been getting help...

  14. How to be an awesome nurse?

    blueskynurse9 replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where your past working experience was, but maybe explore something different. There are so many options available in nursing. Obviously you only have the two past employers to list on...

  15. Depressed and Disappointed in Myself

    blueskynurse9 replied to Samx3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I really hope that your niece doesn't mind that you just posted her curriculum vitae here for all of us to

  16. Depressed and Disappointed in Myself

    blueskynurse9 replied to Samx3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Good to hear from you. Not all nurses are meant to work in hospital settings. I did and after I was away from it for a while decided I no longer wanted to be back working in one. Thankfully there are...

  17. Depressed and Disappointed in Myself

    blueskynurse9 replied to Samx3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You've been given many words of wisdom from some of us that have gone through something similar when starting our first nursing job. Just know that we are always our own worst critic. Most of us are...

  18. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    blueskynurse9 replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    I figured since we're all nurses here, (well, most of us anyway) may as well inject some humor into this well worn

  19. Help for a co-worker

    blueskynurse9 replied to djh123's topic in General Nursing

    She is blessed to have you in her life. Sending healing energy to your

  20. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    blueskynurse9 replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    Studentworker has long disappeared from the thread. I can only imagine she followed some of the advice given and is still out somewhere walking those 15 miles through the snow to get into her new...

  21. As a nurse or a student have you ever had a pt tell you that you won't be a good nurse?

    blueskynurse9 replied to RNintraining622's topic in General Students

    Try to remember that whenever we are treating our patients they aren't at their best, especially if there is delirium involved; whether from illness or even medications. I remember a couple instances...

  22. Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    blueskynurse9 replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    I think most of us understand what you were trying to say. Perhaps the heading got some fired up. Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses makes it sound like a heavyweight title boxing match
