  1. two full time jobs for a new grad

    PANurseRN1 replied to shyinla2004's topic in General Nursing

    No. Way too stessful as a new grad. Awfully stessful for people who aren't newbies, for that

  2. Internet at work?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Kait's topic in General Nursing

    We do have an intranet to do cont. ed., get updates on things going on in the hosp., etc., but that's it. We're usually too busy for people to be surfing, anyway. It's hard enough just getting...

  3. Internet at work?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Kait's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. My dept. doesn't have it, but the other dept. I work in does. I can't believe the sites people go

  4. Is anyone here a Clinical Nurse Leader?

    PANurseRN1 replied to middleageNP's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I'm not a fan of programs that take people with zero experience and graduate them with advanced practice/leadership type

  5. The evil reign of PowerPoint Lectures

    PANurseRN1 replied to agoodusername's topic in General Students

    Why bother? Because that may be the day the instructor relates information not on the PP presentation that would be useful. I honestly don't understand this mentality of not going to class. Exchanges...

  6. I could really use some advice.

    PANurseRN1 replied to RN mom of 2's topic in General Nursing

    You have to have very solid clinical skills to do home care. Without any experience, and having been out of the loop for so long, I would not recommend home care. You have to be very confident in your...

  7. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    PANurseRN1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    And you would be way out of line for doing that, not to mention setting up your facility (and yourself) for a lawsuit. It's not your place to "speak your peace" to your pts. Honestly, I am getting...

  8. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    PANurseRN1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Try to keep up here: 1. The nurse was late. The OP would have accommodated her bigoted views if she had been on time, but due to her tardiness, accommodating her was no longer an option. 2. The nurse...

  9. Where's my thank-you card?

    PANurseRN1 replied to SierraN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow...that was downright nasty, and I'm not even a

  10. Where's my thank-you card?

    PANurseRN1 replied to SierraN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You lost major credibility when you started with the snarky comments about her. Sounds more like a case of the green-eyed monster than genuinely wanting to know what you might be doing

  11. medical marijuana

    https://allnurses.com/forums/f118/do-you-think-patients-should-have-right-use-medical-marijuana-136561.html FYI, it's a violation of TOS to post the same thread in multiple

  12. Chemically Dependent Nurses

    PANurseRN1 replied to lisa41rn's topic in General Nursing

    It's also possible that you didn't get many responses because there are about a gajillion threads already in existence on this issue. A search of the archives will give you more than enough to go

  13. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    PANurseRN1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Only someone who is incredibly naive or deliberately being dense would try to argue that the swastica is still used as a symbol of luck. It's become universally recognized as the defining symbol of an...

    PANurseRN1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Being a veteran does not give you a free pass to have racist/bigoted

  15. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    PANurseRN1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the OP explained on numerous occasions, and quite amply, that this LPN refused the OP's attempts to move the conversation to a more private setting. What should the OP have done? Whacked the...

  16. Elective Primary C/S

    PANurseRN1 replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It's precisely that advocacy that dictates that we speak up when a pt. is demanding something that is unsafe and not in his/her best interests. It's not about the personal preference of the

  17. Elective Primary C/S

    PANurseRN1 replied to Gem97's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yep. It's not Burger King--you don't get to have it your

  18. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    PANurseRN1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, that's one of the reasons I think she should be reported; she's in a BSN program. Get her out of the profession before she has a chance to inflict even more damage. Zero tolerance for...

  19. I Hit A Bone!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to breakin_moon's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly.

  20. I Hit A Bone!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to breakin_moon's topic in General Nursing

    Uhm, a little respect, please. I was taught to insert 1/2 way, too. Way back in the dark ages when I was a student, we didn't have the variety of needles to choose from like we do now. So it would...

  21. I Hit A Bone!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to breakin_moon's topic in General Nursing

    I only ever hit bone once and that was many years ago when I was a student. Pt. was a LOL with CA. That feeling of hitting bone made me so sick I almost threw up. Thank goodness it never happened...

  22. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    PANurseRN1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is, even if the nurse learns how to parrot appropriate, culturally sensitive language, she clearly demonstrated what was in her heart, and that was hatred. I wouldn't feel like I could...

  23. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    PANurseRN1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    saying that this was a "staffing problem" has to be the most creative understatement i have ever seen. it's almost nixonian. it's amazing to me that as a supervisor you see this as not a big issue. i...

  24. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    PANurseRN1 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    There are some people who do not deserve to be in the profession, and we don't need them. This nurse is a bigot. It's doubtful that "retraining" is going to change her poisonous views. We do a...

  25. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    PANurseRN1 replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Another post from someone who is not a nurse, judging how nurses do their jobs. That facility sounds dangerous; certainly not somewhere I'd want to
