  1. Complex assignments as a new grad and fear of doing something wrong

    buckchaser10 replied to Adrian007's topic in General Nursing

    You'll find that in nursing, and probably every workplace, shifts like to talk smack about other shifts. As nurses we are perfectionists so it hits us harder than other shifts. If your management...

  2. Genuine question that I know is going to make me sound like a TERRIBLE nurse...

    buckchaser10 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't matter, it was the nurses fault because they called *big sarcasm

  3. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    buckchaser10 replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Couple things, first love the name! Second agreed, every generation thinks they had it harder while thinking generations younger than them are dumb. Third it is common knowledge that as new...

  4. Genuine question that I know is going to make me sound like a TERRIBLE nurse...

    buckchaser10 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    These adverse effects are from practitioner orders though. Just because someone annoys you doesn't mean you have to order it. Stop pinning these issues on nurses. Ultimately the practitioner ordered...

  5. Genuine question that I know is going to make me sound like a TERRIBLE nurse...

    buckchaser10 replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    I can't wait for the nurse versus practitioner pee fight that is about to

  6. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    buckchaser10 replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Uff da, I say that and screw up my sentence. Pretend there is another comma after spelling. I can't find the edit

  7. Blood Administration

    buckchaser10 replied to Anon24's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Honestly this was my first error as a nurse... many times. In training I never had to administer blood so I never had the process down before being on my own. I'm still here as a nurse to talk about...

  8. is it doable to work night shift after having a baby?

    buckchaser10 replied to juviasama's topic in General Nursing

    I know a guy who has this exact situation with his wife. She works day shift and he works nights. He is a zombie every day because the baby is not on a night shift schedule. It is doable, you just...

  9. Quality of Life as a nurse by state

    buckchaser10 replied to Megan8083's topic in General Nursing

    I get the fly fishing comment because honestly I'd only work somewhere I could, well, chase bucks. As someone who has a fairly fresh kid (under 1) hobbies take a hard side step to priorities. This...

  10. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    buckchaser10 replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a typo or did the ACT used to be scored differently? Top score is 36. National average is something like 20. I know plenty of nurses who couldn't even dream of hitting 20 (don't get me...

  11. insurance company jobs as new grad nurse

    buckchaser10 replied to NURSE SINGH's topic in Nursing Career

  13. Interview Anxiety

    buckchaser10 replied to Guest1030824's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Awesome!

  14. Anyone’s contract ever been cancelled?

    buckchaser10 replied to Smoores's topic in Agency Nurses

    I'm not an agency nurse but I do bring them in to my facility to fill needs. We had to cancel one recently due to the staff not being able to meet our employment requirements. We go through medefis...

  15. LPN before BSN ??

    buckchaser10 replied to DlaineyZ's topic in Nursing Career

    So if your concern is if LPN helps, no not really. Part way through your BSN education you become eligible to take the NCLEX-PN. If your concern is money, the cheaper route is normally...

  16. I’m a new grad in medsurg and I’m struggling

    buckchaser10 replied to Rosini's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah so case management should know the bulk of that info. You should only have to provide pertinent info from your assessment. Their job is literally managing the patient for discharge. Social...

  17. Leaving nursing?

    buckchaser10 replied to Isabelm1122's topic in Nursing Career

    I know a guy who up and left for a minimum wage job in Europe because he was feeling burnt out. Within months he missed nursing. You might find the same but there truly is only one way to find

  18. Tele Nurse question

    buckchaser10 replied to kodacat's topic in Nursing Career

    Big systems around me have triage nurses that are at their home. Normally the job postings read something along the lines of "eligible to work from home with 1+ year of experience." In my travels...

  19. I’m a new grad in medsurg and I’m struggling

    buckchaser10 replied to Rosini's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Who do you have on your rounds? MD's should know their patient either from taking care of them the previous days or through doctor to doctor report. In a normal round setting you would just need to...

  20. Interview Anxiety

    buckchaser10 replied to Guest1030824's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Honestly, a lot of us have jitters interviewing people too. An interview is about us making a good impression just as much as the interviewee. We expect you to have hesitations. We don't want...

  21. Just passed NCLEX-PN! Graduated 2015. Need help with Opening at prison

    buckchaser10 replied to Guest1144914's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    We often see students put their clinical experiences in their resume, I personally don't read over them that much but that's because our system is kind of a catch-all any clinical experience helps....

  22. Please help with new grad RN resume

    buckchaser10 replied to LovetheOB's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yeah in my area (midwest) this resume would land you a ton of interviews at the least and I would wager as long as you interviewed halfway decent it'd land you quite a few job offers. As Rose_queen...

  23. first job LTC need advice

    buckchaser10 replied to thecookingnursing's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yeesh harsh words! People always say to get your experience and run but regardless there is always going to be a need for nurses in LTC. What you'll find is often your nurse counterparts are nurses...

  24. Running the pump dry

    buckchaser10 replied to usethehaldol's topic in Patient Medications

    I'd have to understand the set up you are talking about but traditionally medications would be piggy-backed into a primary solution. The piggy back eventually won't run any further and primary will...

  25. Pregnant new grad...need advice please!

    buckchaser10 replied to Catherine1997's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say land a nurse gig and take the 15 weeks. You went to school to be a nurse. I'm not sure what you make in food service but I'm going to assume your earning potential is much higher in nursing....
