  1. Stay or go?

    summertx posted a topic in General Specialties

    I am new to the department at a hospital and the environment is very toxic. Rude staff, not a good learning environment, walking on egg shells around my preceptor. I don't feel comfortable. I have...

  2. PLEASE HELP. What else can I do to pass my last class and graduate?

    summertx replied to C_Bay's topic in General Students

  5. Accelerated Nursing

    summertx replied to NursingiA2023's topic in General Students

    I believe BLS is required. CNA or PCT certification could also strengthen your application and also prepare you for some aspects of

  6. Study tips for 2nd semester?

    summertx replied to May2024's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Here's some suggestions: 1) Maybe find resources that would speed up processes, such as for clinical if you're weak in an area, for example, looking up meds, or care plans get an app on your...

  7. How many I.V.'s

    summertx posted a topic in Critical Care

    How many I.V.'s (lumens, central lines and PIV's) do you see normally in the ICU and what is the maximum amount of drips do you have running? I want to make sure I can handle this many drips before I...

  8. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    summertx replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    They were mocking patients, not just 'venting'. If I were the patient I wouldn't want to see these nurses working there again or would want these nurses being my

  9. Need guidance from seasoned leaders

    summertx replied to Glycerine82's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, you if you give an inch, they take a mile. You know that's how it works in LTC. You shouldn't accept that as a manager either. To just run your employees dry until they can give no

  10. CA BON Education Requirements: BSN vs ADN

    summertx replied to Amarie21's topic in General Students

    If you receive an ATT, then you sit can in any state including CA to take the exam from what I know. The board has to approve your ATT. The only people I know that have problems getting their ATT are...

  11. CA BON Education Requirements: BSN vs ADN

    summertx replied to Amarie21's topic in General Students

  12. Need guidance from seasoned leaders

    summertx replied to Glycerine82's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Look, I never said I would not do CNA duties. You really need to read. I simply stated I am not going to be taken advantage of by administration and especially if they are ungrateful. I AM NOT...

  13. Need guidance from seasoned leaders

    summertx replied to Glycerine82's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I understand you fine. I state it's not the nurses duty, it's your job to find staff to cover the CNA's responsibilities. That's why you have CNA's. Looks like those 'nurses' include you also, and you...

  14. Need guidance from seasoned leaders

    summertx replied to Glycerine82's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just because it's in the nurses scope of practice doesn't mean it's her/his job duties. You simply can't pin down CNA job responsibilities on the nurse just to cover your own bottom, which is the case...

  15. Need guidance from seasoned leaders

    summertx replied to Glycerine82's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I didn't say once that I thought CNA's duties are beneath nurses duties. I said staffing isn't the nurses problem. If there are no CNA's the nurse will have to fill in as needed. but that is not what...

    summertx replied to Glycerine82's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    No, nurses duties come

  17. Need guidance from seasoned leaders

    summertx replied to Glycerine82's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Is she doing her job description? If she is, that's all she's required to do (within the rules). She's not there to do the CNA's job. Sorry but short staff isn't her problem. If the nurse is outright...

  18. Seriously overworked

    summertx replied to pbmaxx's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The administrator already stated it would not change. Sounds like a hostile and unappreciative working environment. This just spells poor administration. Being yelled at for not wanting to take short...

  19. I’m in trouble with DSD at work and it’s killing me that I could be fired

    summertx replied to uniteddemclub's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This DSD (not sure what that is) needs to chill out. You didn't do anything wrong and don't be convinced of it. It sounds like a hostile environment and they don't have a right to make you feel that...

  20. Illinois Nurses Speak Out for Patient Safety: Hospital Retaliates

    summertx replied to Doris Carroll's topic in General Nursing

    If nurses had a guarantee that their license wouldn't be on the line going in to work such as the 4 nurses taking on 46 patients, then maybe the nurses would have stayed. If I didn't like a shift, I...

  21. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    summertx replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    To know those nurses got hired at hospital I would want to work at and they wouldn't hire me strikes a nerve with me. They hired the nurse with a rotten attitude but I treat my patients likes queens...

    #1. No nurse will every turn off a drip of mine to 'test' me, new grad or not. You will be reported. So this eating the young thing won't

  24. Is this mocking patients?

    summertx replied to Kitiger's topic in General Nursing

    Mocking at all should be kept to yourself. If you find yourself mocking, time to get another job. Patients deserve nurses of high

  25. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    summertx replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't want to work with nurses like that. So immature. I don't see how Emory Hospital would hire that or not notice
