    Has anyone ever stepped down from a role?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Resident is reportedly fine. Sounds like staff had initiated bowel protocol on the third day of no bowel movement but unfortunately interventions weren’t effective (we don’t get bowel movement...

    Managers: Remaining Objective with All Employees

    SilverBells posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just recently accepted a new nurse manager position at a SNF/LTC/Rehab facility that I have been working at for about four years now. This is my first change in roles at this facility, so I haven't...

    Is it possible for a manager to smile too often?

    SilverBells posted a topic in General Nursing

    The other day, a coworker had mentioned that they found it "disturbing," that every time I'm at work, I smile a lot and/or laugh. Now, this person is known to be sarcastic and joke a lot...

    Is it possible for a manager to smile too often?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Of course not. I’m more so talking about having a happy disposition in

    Preferential Treatment Towards Certain Patients

    SilverBells posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a new nurse manager, I hate to admit this, but I have noticed that I have a tendency to gravitate towards certain patients and respond to their needs faster than others. In my position, I'm not...

    Failed my third semester, should I do anything about it?

    SilverBells replied to Sillycat's topic in General Students

    I would reapply to the program but I wouldn’t file a complaint. Failing a test due to uncontrollable anxiety is not uncommon, but not a good enough reason to file a report. Accommodations can only...

    I need a 76 on my final to pass fundamentals

    SilverBells replied to madnurse's topic in General Students

    It's definitely nerve-wrecking to be in your position--I've been there--but you're still at a point in your class where passing is definitely possible! 76% isn't over-the-top or impossible to achieve...

    Instructor Retaliation?

    SilverBells replied to RNmommy4MAAA's topic in General Students

    Your faculty are definitely being unreasonable, but this is a situation that, like other posters have stated, to just let it go. If you need to retake the exam, just do it and be done with it. It's...

    HELP! Need to make decision!

    SilverBells replied to LaurynZara's topic in General Students

    If you're able to do both, I would think they both would be worthy of your time. CNA certification is good for perfecting basic nursing skills such as performing ADLs. Working as a CNA would also be...

    Are boundaries ok?

    SilverBells replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    It is very important to have boundaries; otherwise, you may find yourself burnt out from being taken advantage of by other coworkers and your manager(s). Especially since you are a new nurse, you...

    The Drug Investigations - Three So Far

    SilverBells replied to NormaSaline's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what you are trying to get at but if there are any concerns about continued use of any medication, it would mostly be for the providers to address. Obviously, a nurse would have the...

    Mental Health & Nursing School

    SilverBells replied to Meow278's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's very possible to get into and make it through nursing school if you have a history of depression and anxiety, even if you have a history of using emergency services. However, to be successful,...

    SilverBells replied to VeronicaMarie's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible the first dose was obtained in another manner? Back up pharmacy, E-kit, etc. That could possibly explain why one isn’t missing from the bubble

    Ethical Question

    SilverBells replied to JK123's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, yes. Completely inappropriate. There was no medical/documentation need for taking that picture, violating privacy. And it shows insensitivity to the patient and his or her

    A friend bought her degree from the Philippines.

    SilverBells replied to thatgirlisangel's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like a situation I would stay out of, if only because it seems like not all the facts are known. Just because you have never seen her study or go to school doesn’t mean she hasn’t. It’s...

    What does the floor really think of nursing students?

    SilverBells replied to superduper's topic in General Nursing

    From my experience--and I'm guessing most people's experience--some nurses love students, some are neutral, some would rather not be bothered, and others' moods change depending on the day. Mainly...

    Not eligible for rehire

    SilverBells replied to NURS94's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, I'm not entirely familiar with how that works. However, my thought is that if they specifically told you that you are not eligible for rehire, that you would not be offered a position at that...

    100k in loans worth it?

    SilverBells replied to ravindram's topic in General Nursing

    I personally would recommend this path, as it worked well for me. I graduated with my associate's degree in 2014. Then, while working, I completed my BSN degree. Fast forward five years, and I'm...

    Did I already screw up my nursing career?

    SilverBells replied to Nursing2019BSN's topic in General Nursing

    There are many nursing jobs out there. You will find one, even if it means working outside of the hospital. Don't worry so much about the prestige of the organization you are working for; be more...

    What should a student do if a majority of the class failed a test

    SilverBells replied to Nancy W's topic in General Students

    Sometimes rewriting notes isn't enough. I like it as a study method, but it generally wasn't the only method of studying I used. Flashcards could be a good way of studying for pharmacology or you...
