  1. Are you my waitress today?

    PANurseRN1 replied to adria37's topic in General Nursing

    And how are they going to know who wears what color? People in the hospital are stressed, sick, often confused. They're not going to say "Oh, wait, I can't ask her for my medicine...she's not wearing...

  2. Just Licensed, Don't even know where to start

    PANurseRN1 replied to alexis111's topic in General Nursing

    You definitely need a refresher course. So much has changed in that time. Just because you passed NCLEX (congrats) doesn't mean that you're ready to jump back into nursing after 9 years. Please find a...

  4. Nursing & website is depressing!!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to SeanyRN's topic in General Nursing

    1. If you find the site depressing, maybe you ned to take a break from it. 2. Learn how to say "No." And mean

  5. Do you belong to a nursing association?

  6. What do patients say that irks you?

    PANurseRN1 replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

  7. any nurses fighting for their license with BON?

    PANurseRN1 replied to aainme's topic in General Nursing

    It bears repeating...the BON is not your friend. Approach with extreme

  8. physician substitute

    PANurseRN1 replied to MoriahRoseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Physician substitute? Eh, no. I'm a nurse. I sure as heck wouldn't work for a place that used that designation for nurses. Not only does it disrespect our profession, it's profoundly

  9. Endoscopy nursing

    PANurseRN1 replied to coles2's topic in General Nursing

    Usually, you don't go start to finish with pts. in endo. One nurse typically does the pre-procdure assessment, another post-procedure. Another nurse/nurses are involved during the actual...

  10. ashamed today

    PANurseRN1 replied to susiegirl's topic in General Nursing

    How about MYOB? If you don't like the direction of the conversation, either try to change it or just go

  11. LPN to RN through testing?

    PANurseRN1 replied to mc3's topic in General Nursing

    If you didn't want this to be an "RN v. LPN" thread, then why did you spend 75% of your post putting down students in RN

  12. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    PANurseRN1 replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    That's a scary program you graduated from. CNAs are valuable members of the health care team,

  13. Nurses Eat Their Young

    PANurseRN1 replied to texaschick's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you do decline to be a preceptor, just don't say anything about it here unless you want to have students and new nurses lashing out at you for being selfish and neglecting your obligations to...

  14. How do I develop Critical Thinking/Backbone?

    PANurseRN1 replied to amy0123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's the same way for the preceptor. Just read the posts from new nurses here about preceptors: not enough feedback; too much feedback; not enough support; too much support; she watches everything I...

  15. nurses at clinicals, how to deal?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Purple Princess's topic in General Nursing

    Also, what you as a student consider to be emergent may not necessarily be emergent to the nurse. I agree with the other poster that you may be approaching at a bad time or it may be your manner of...

  16. Is there power in the color white?

    PANurseRN1 replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get paid enough to buy street clothes for people to puke and bleed on.

  17. Letting CNA pass your meds, bad idea?

    PANurseRN1 replied to walla189's topic in General Nursing

    Oh

  18. Why Does It Seem That RN's Hate Us and Hospitals Don't Believe In Us??

    PANurseRN1 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Paramedics certainly do not have a limited knowledge base. Have you actually worked with paramedics, e.g. in an ED setting? Please don't denigrate another profession to try to elevate yours. If you...

  19. Alcohol breath nurse........

    PANurseRN1 replied to Sailingshoes's topic in General Nursing

    You know for a fact that this nurse is overindulging on her off shift hours and that's why she has an odor? Not just a rumor/speculation...I mean you've witnessed her behavior? Because it's a really...

  20. nursing caps

    PANurseRN1 replied to biker nurse's topic in General Nursing

    As well as a sad commentary on the lack of respect some have for their fellow nurses. Well put,

  21. nursing caps

    PANurseRN1 replied to biker nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Mature, really mature. Those of you who are fairly young in the profession should learn a little bit about basic respect. There still are programs that have caps. That doesn't mean that the...

  22. More Men RNs = More $$$ for All?

    PANurseRN1 replied to michellesrndream's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's difficult for someone who isn't yet in nursing to understand the complexity of the issues surrounding pay, professional respect, etc. It's also a bit sexist to suggest that we need to be...

  23. Thank you note to preceptor after orientation?

    PANurseRN1 replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure she would appreciate
