  1. Anyone want to share why nursing has been a POSITIVE career choice for you?

    Town & Country replied to secondfiddle's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's fulfilling. I mean, they can't take THAT away from you - no matter what craziness has gone on, it's nice to know that you've helped somebody. I am glad in alot of ways that I'm a...

  2. Quit or be fired?

    Town & Country replied to javanurse2000's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard to know what to tell someone to do in this instance, but if your kids are 16 and 12, they should be okay. Call them from work to check on them, and see if you can get a neighbor to pop in...

  3. Help am New DON FOR LTC

    Town & Country replied to nursemid02's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Town & Country replied to Town & Country's topic in Emergency

  5. I have a situation and it's pretty long.

    Town & Country replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I may be in the minority (so what else is new), but I see no reason at all to pursue this. Why? You can bet they have already concocted "reasons" as to why you weren't called in to do PRN. Probably...

  7. What to do about tech refusing to get VS?

    Town & Country replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    No, there is nothing "unprofessional" about asking a CNA to get VS in front of a patient.The VS NEEDED TO BE DONE, and the nurse obviously had no time to get them, with her hands already full with 2...

  8. HELP!!! with ACLS Drugs!

    Town & Country replied to Town & Country's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for the tips. I'm studying and breaking. LOL I can't just do the same thing or my eyes start to cross. I still feel like I don't know it well enough, but on the other hand, I'm not a...

  9. Challenging Hospital Dress Code

    Town & Country replied to jaycieRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, it's silly, and yes, it's unreasonable to make them pay for scrubs that the hospital designates. I was just saying that it doesn't seem spiteful. You know, all things being equal, if this is...

  15. Challenging Hospital Dress Code

    Town & Country replied to jaycieRN's topic in General Nursing

    I may be the only one here with this opinion, but this seems like much ado about nothing. I don't understand why the uproar. With all the pressing issues we face on a daily basis, is this worthy of...

  20. Can I still be a nurse with a misdemeanor conviction

    Town & Country replied to 2bnurseforce1's topic in General Nursing

  24. What to do about tech refusing to get VS?

    Town & Country replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Yes, but you see, if she does the CNA's job, then she doesn't have TIME to do her OWN....that's why they're called "Nurse Aides"....they are supposed to AID THE NURSE...not the other way around....

    Town & Country replied to Sheba817's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't it the truth? You certainly said it very well! People just don't realize what they are going to have to deal with on a day in, day out basis....you never know what's going to happen next....
