  2. Biggest issue nurses face?

    oktravelnurse replied to Eponine's topic in General Nursing

    I think the biggest issue is nurse/patient ratios and SAFETY. For instance in California they have a law 1 nurse to 5 patients. Don't forget to look at whether the nurses have access to a CNA or...

    oktravelnurse replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    oktravelnurse replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    oktravelnurse replied to Purrfectfriend's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    oktravelnurse replied to Purrfectfriend's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I worked with a grad nurse that failed NCLEX 3 times. She was also on antianxiety meds. She decided to get hypnotized. She learned how to reduce anxiety, and build her confidence up. She passed...

  16. Nudity?

    oktravelnurse replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

  17. Extreme New Nurse Anxiety

    oktravelnurse replied to lakerette01's topic in General Nursing

    oktravelnurse replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Geez, this nursing instructor must have a problem. Good for you for not participating in this type of useless disscussion. I would think the students would benefit more from an open discussion...

  20. Overnight Visting

    oktravelnurse replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital wanted family members to stay with the patients (neuro). This was only allowed in private rooms, however most of the rooms were private. We absolutely hated this policy. We found that...

  22. OT: and not getting paid?

    oktravelnurse replied to nynurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    Some hospitals do this to discourage OT (in my opinion). I think if you work hard, which I did, many times without a lunch break or any other kind of break, you should be paid for your time. It is...

  23. Good Bye to Nursing for me...

    oktravelnurse replied to healer27's topic in General Nursing

    oktravelnurse replied to lakerette01's topic in General Nursing
