    Do acute care nurses look down on LTC nurses

    Multicollinearity replied to MouseMichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Let's just be straight up, honest. Yes, I have seen quite a few acute care nurses who look down on LTC nurses. The sub-specialty I am in (not LTC) is also looked down upon by many acute care nurses....

    New Grad Co-worker driving me NUTS!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Dinah77, I'm sorry. I should have left my own experience out of my responses to you since I'm not in acute care like you are - it's comparing apples to oranges. Good luck to

    New Grad Co-worker driving me NUTS!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    You don't even know what field/specialty of nursing I am in, except that it isn't acute care. So many assumptions. But this thread isn't about my workplace. It's about the OP, and I (sincerely) wish...

    New Grad Co-worker driving me NUTS!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    It works at my place of employment, and works very well (not acute care). I agree this sort of thing sounds questionable/sketchy for an acute care environment. I'm in charge because of my management...

    New Grad Co-worker driving me NUTS!!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    You know, before I graduated and started working as a nurse, I believed the mantra on this board that new grads are ALL so potentially dangerous, and should never be charge or supervisors within the...

    Attention Prison Nurses!!!

    Multicollinearity replied to ~Transplant Nurse~'s topic in Correctional

    This sounds like an assignment created by a nursing instructor who has never worked in a prison, maybe? Inmate patients receive FSBG checks and insulin in person, and under observation/performed by...

    Thinking of moving to AZ

    Multicollinearity replied to jessm215's topic in Arizona Nursing

    AZ is on the verge of turning into a 3rd world nation-type state. If the state legislature succeeds in slashing AHCCCS (AZ's medicaid), it will get much, much worse. Jobs are hard to come by for new...

    Penicillin IM to thigh in adult

    Multicollinearity replied to AggieNurse99's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I go laterally enough that I'm not too afraid of hitting the sciatic nerve. (Hope I never hit the sciatic

    Penicillin IM to thigh in adult

    Multicollinearity replied to AggieNurse99's topic in General Nursing

    I give these at work to those who have a + RPR (syphilis). I give it in the glutes, though. Why not give it in the glutes to an adult? I would think the thigh would hurt

    What do you do to destress?

    My fav thing lately is getting a deep tissue massage. I found a really good LMT. Besides that,

    Does anyone have a GOOD manager

    Multicollinearity replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    My supervisor is good, and my manager is great as well. Both are reasonable people who support the staff. Both are basically nice people, in-charge, and have astute observations. I about died when 4...

    Holy Abscess! Not for the faint of heart

    We had an abcess at work the other day where it had tons of pus, and a bullet was removed from a pt's leg. I'm not sure about the amount of pus in this

    Are you going to work tommorow in the big storm?

    Multicollinearity replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    We've got a lot of snow and 40 mph winds. I'm not scheduled, but if I were, I would move heaven and Earth to get there. After all, the nurse I'd be relieving would be

    New Grad RN Jobs

    Multicollinearity replied to yooper86's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Just sharing how I got a job as a new grad. Others here on the board have shared the same with me, that they had to go rural to get that first job. About 1/3 of my former classmates from nursing...

    Why Is Nursing School So Hard?

    Multicollinearity replied to jphume's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school is hard and stressful, for sure. However, just wait until you are a licensed nurse. You will hold lives in your hands - literally. That is harder and more stressful than anything you...

    Stress Relief after a BAD shift?

    Multicollinearity replied to JStollRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Funny you mention sitting on the bottom of the pool. I had a neighbor (an MD) who would put on his scuba gear and O2 tank and do just what you described. He'd sit on the bottom of our community pool....

    Stress Relief after a BAD shift?

    Multicollinearity replied to JStollRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    After a bad shift that was just too busy or stressful for whatever reason: I do yoga for an hour with soft, relaxing music. After a shift from (((HELL))) where I ran a code that was particularly ugly,...

    Dealing with Codes/Serious Emergencies

    Multicollinearity posted a topic in Emergency

    I am a new RN. I need help/tips/advice on managing my psychological response after codes/emergencies. I've done OK with the logistics during the codes, and I stay very calm. In fact, I'm so calm...

    Dealing with Codes/Serious Emergencies

    Multicollinearity replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Emergency

    JBudd, I'm sure the trigger about violence is because I've been a victim of a violent crime myself, and seeing injuries from violence triggers my own "stuff" unconsciously, a little bit. Doing very...

    Unemployed After Graduation: Remaining Employable

    Multicollinearity posted a topic in General Students

    In my area, many new graduates are unemployed after graduation. Due to the economy, most of our hospitals have hiring freezes and new graduates are not being hired. Here's my question: what can we...

    Jobs scarce for nurses

    Multicollinearity replied to GLB_68's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously doubt J&J actually cares about advancing the nursing profession's best interest. My hunch is J&J cares about how they appear to the public to be caring about nurses who care for...
