  2. Clinical instructor interview

    nursiee posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have an interview next week for a clinical instructor. Does anyone have any tips? Common questions asked? I know a question about how to deal with difficult students will definitely be asked.

  5. New grad RN, absolutely hate nursing

    nursiee replied to Ashley Karanja's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what a lot of the others said with regards to doing something non-bedside. Bedside nursing is not for everyone, and that's okay! Nurses are needed in many areas, not only at the bedside....

  6. Passive Aggression is Harmful to Your Health

    nursiee replied to Divine-LPN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Coworkers giving you the silent treatment - would that be considered passive-aggressive? Let's say another nurse gives you report before going on break and asks you to a complete a task (which is not...

  7. Fear-mongering in nursing school?

    nursiee posted a topic in General Students

    Do you think that most nursing schools use a lot of fear tactics? In the particular nursing school I went to there seemed to have been particular instructors who, while teaching skills in lab, would...

  10. Are nurses and doctors equal?

    nursiee replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

    Aren't nurses considered the eyes and ears of the physician? Still pretty important. And, don't you mean learn how to help & assist him or

  11. Float staff having a hard time

    nursiee posted a topic in General Nursing

    There is a very specialized unit in which some of the nurse friends I work with also float to, let's call it "Unit X." This unit has the reputation of being unwelcoming towards float nurses,...

  12. Float staff having a hard time

    nursiee replied to nursiee's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa!

  13. Float staff having a hard time

    nursiee replied to nursiee's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I'm not completely sure if they ask or not. It goes both ways - when you see another nurse very busy on the floor, the polite thing to do would be to ask if he/she needs help and to help...

    nursiee replied to nursiee's topic in General Nursing

    They're float pool nurses. I do hear the same complaints as well; it seems to be a common trend in a lot of

  15. Float staff having a hard time

    nursiee replied to nursiee's topic in General Nursing

    To be more specific, the unit I'm referring to is a pediatric oncology unit. Some of the float nurses have a few years of experience on other pediatric units, but are new to this unit. Some are new...

  16. Float staff having a hard time

    nursiee replied to nursiee's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all your replies! I'm getting the sense that the way things work in the hospital I work at is different from everyone else's. I apologize for not being clear. To clarify, these newer float...

  17. Too nice? Where do you draw the line? Need advice

    nursiee posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm including these past situations to highlight a pattern here - I'm often told that I'm too nice, passive, laidback, things like that - with regards to being treated poorly by other people, but not...

  18. Too nice? Where do you draw the line? Need advice

    nursiee replied to nursiee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For sure, it wasn't that bad at all. I'm not "scarred" by it or anything I didn't intend for it to come across that way. I have searched on Google here and there for assertiveness strategies, but I...

  19. Too nice? Where do you draw the line? Need advice

    nursiee replied to nursiee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for your response! I agree with you that it would be helpful for me to go back to them, but this meeting happened over a year ago, and both of them are no longer in management positions. They...

  20. Please help - need to get over shyness!

    nursiee posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I struggle with shyness. People who don't know me well/aren't close to me, will say that I am a quiet person who doesn't like talking. However, when I am with people I'm comfortable with and close to...

    nursiee replied to nursiee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks so much for your input, dontbetachy90. I really appreciate your advice! I agree with you that being quiet is not a bad thing, but being quiet and being shy are two different things. Not all...

  24. 4 shifts of orientation for new grad

    nursiee replied to questioningnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I personally do not think that 4 shifts is enough. When I worked in adult med/surg as a new grad, I only had 5 orientation shifts. I didn't think it was enough, but I still thought I would be okay...

  25. Fairly new nurse looking for advice

    nursiee posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked on an adult unit prior to working in pediatrics. I've been working in pediatrics for a little over a year. It's been great to work with children. However, it's been difficult a lot of times,...
