  1. BSN - no experience and lots of children

    Closed Account 12345 replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations on your growing family! I think your priorities are in the right place. I love that you recognize how babies are only little once and want to spend precious time with your children....

  2. Advice for Faculty Interview Presentation

    Closed Account 12345 replied to PsychNurse4Me's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    What about professionalism and civility in nursing? Don't go the death by PPT route. Find a way to make your presentation

  3. Tips For Being A Preceptor

    Closed Account 12345 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like so many times preceptors are assigned based on personality. Example: Amanda is so nice and bubbly, and patients like her. Let's put a new grad with her! (....while giving 0...

  4. Tips For Being A Preceptor

    Closed Account 12345 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is perfectly acceptable (and wise) to communicate that to your unit manager and educator! Let them know you look forward to precepting in the future when you feel more confident, but for...

  5. Tips For Being A Preceptor

    Closed Account 12345 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    First, I would ask if this is a requirement at the one year mark. If I remember correctly from other posts, aren't you still kind of struggling to find your own nursing groove? (I don't mean that in...

  6. NCLEX After 5 years

    Closed Account 12345 replied to TLRay84's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In the best interest of patient safety, I hope you will take a refresher course either

  7. Is it legal?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to CardiTeleRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ask yourself this: Would a reasonably prudent RN with no training accept the liability of opening a surgical field for an operative patient without orientation or an understanding of what she is...

  8. Is it appropriate to email the hiring manager your cover letter and resume?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Spinnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'd take the approach of an introductory message and would attach my resume/cover letter to that. Just be aware that even large hospital systems are smaller than they seem, and once you send...

  9. Interpreting New Director Behavior/Personality

    Closed Account 12345 replied to mermer_rn's topic in General Nursing

    You could always call in sick on the major holidays, and when reprimanded, you could say "I was under the understanding that this was a routine work shift for part time employees, not a major...

  10. Bit Off More Than I Can Chew

    Closed Account 12345 replied to bluescrubs's topic in General Nursing

    It's impossible to say and depends a lot on your manager and HR. I want to say that certain hospital systems, like HOA, put people on a do not rehire list if they leave within a certain period of...

  11. Coworkers Opening Patient Windows During Inclement Weather

    Closed Account 12345 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The best approach is to close the

  12. I'm a Monkey...

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Merrie82's topic in General Nursing

    Proud of you for speaking up! Your patients deserve a nurse who recognizes her own limitations, and asking for a little more shift-specific training is completely reasonable. I hope your time with...

  13. New job offer, should I accept?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to HolliRN234's topic in General Nursing

    If you can afford the pay cut, take it! Try something new. Take a little break from hospital chaos. Bask in feeling bored for a while. Enjoy your holidays for a year. You can always go back to the...

  14. Upsetting Foley Insertion in a Confused Dementia Patient

    Closed Account 12345 replied to wernicke's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, that's so sad. I don't have any words of wisdom, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry for both you and the patient. It sounds like a lose-lose

  15. How Has Your Nursing Career Affected Your Relationships Or Other Aspects of Your Life?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is one more response that shows a disconnect with reality. Being someone's friend and being someone's facebook "friend" are not synonymous. If you don't have ongoing two-way...

  16. How Has Your Nursing Career Affected Your Relationships Or Other Aspects of Your Life?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of disturbed thought processes on this thread, but this one is particularly bothersome. You *are* stalking her. You've deemed her the "winner." You know extensive details of her...

  17. Nurses Keeping Venomous Snakes as Pets

    Closed Account 12345 replied to SilverBells's topic in Animal Lovers's Animal Lovers

    I don't think their snake ownership has anything to do with them being nurses. It's an odd connection to

  18. Day shift or night shift

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Staceym30's topic in General Nursing

    Days! (Unless your future husband works nights) You'll be glad to have evenings together and the energy to stay awake on your off days. I worked a really odd shift as a newlywed, and I didn't...

  19. Question about Medical Knowledge

    Closed Account 12345 replied to premurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your knowledge isn't limited by a chosen career path. It's only limited by your drive. As mentioned above, medicine and nursing are entirely different fields. Neither is superior, and neither...

  20. Help - Should I Work or Wait?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, now THAT sounds good! ? Enjoy your shadowing day! One more thing to pay attention to this year- availability of PPE! You'll have an infant to be cautious with and don't want to take...

  21. Help - Should I Work or Wait?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    No, but I also really don't mean for anything to sound offensive- just truthful and helpful! OK, just to clarify... Your previous post says you would do 2 days per week for orientation. That...

  22. Help - Should I Work or Wait?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    Respectfully, I am concerned that you don't know what you don't know. It is frightening that a new grad with 3 months of part-time RN experience under her belt (occurring 6 months ago and while...

  23. Help - Should I Work or Wait?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

    If you were planning to return to the same position after maternity leave, and you had the spousal support and childcare means to do so, my answer would be find any job you love. Since that's not...

  24. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Closed Account 12345 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I think statistics on sexual abuse and other childhood traumas among people who later identify as transgender are shocking and very sad. Based on the abuse statistics, my belief is that...

  25. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Closed Account 12345 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I think part of the issue is that the terms biological sex (XX or XY) and gender (an identity spectrum based on feelings, affected by numerous life factors) are erroneously used interchangeably....
