  1. A little HELP....please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to nessa77's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with Tweety. In the ED, some of the nurses will do this with meds like MSO4--they're sure the chest pt. pain will need more than one dose, for example, so they pull a 10mg MSO4 and keep it in...

  2. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    PANurseRN1 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    OMG. That was the best reply,

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is, Marla, you can't vent here without a student/newbie telling you how terrible you are, "Get out, you burn out!" and an assortment of other nasty comments. Like I said earlier, I think...

    Seriously. That bugs the heck out of me. For heaven's sake, how hard is it to use a search engine? The information is right out there for the taking; must it also be spoonfed,

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    And I say stop using hurtful stereotypes. You have heard of a self-fulfilling prophesy, right? If you have the attitude that experienced nurses are out there just waiting to devour you, you will...

  7. National Labor Relations Board rules some nurses are supervisors

    PANurseRN1 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Another idea would be for nurses to refuse charge

    PANurseRN1 replied to MIA-RN1's topic in General Nursing

    Coopergirl: I hope you're feeling better about things today. If you lived near me, I'd take you out for a great latte and biscotti, and we'd talk about how stuff sometimes happens that is totally...

    This is not about eating the young; it's about the "old" trying not to get eaten by the

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    Protection from judgemental new nurses/students/people who aren't even students but have an opinion on how nurses "should" be who constantly bash older nurses. It amazes me that there are so few...

  11. RN's and the dreaded clinical experience...

    PANurseRN1 replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Here we go again...another post denigrating experienced nurses. Heaven forbid you should mention the countless nurses who mentor new nurses. That's not tantalizing enough. Far better to perpetuate...

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. It could be similar to how the Premium Forums work; if you're not a premium member, you may read but not post. I don't mean that you should have to be a premium member to post on a forum for...

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    There are plenty of forums for students to learn from or participate in. We are talking about one forum...not much different from the forums for Phillipine nurses, Native American nurses, etc. We're...

  14. Experienced Nurses Only

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is, if students are allowed to post, they will bash some of the people who are venting. It has happened time and again. I recall a truly horrible thread where an experienced nurse posted...

  15. Experienced Nurses Only

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. Just exercising my right to give an opinion, even if it conflicts with a "hopeful nurse to be." What you said is precisely why some of us feel the need to have a forum where we can speak...

    Miranda, you stated exactly what I was thinking so

  17. Oh man did I miss an order

    PANurseRN1 replied to MIA-RN1's topic in General Nursing

    Stop it. Stop it now. It's the doc who should be tormenting herself. She dropped the ball because she couldn't be bothered to look for a staff person when she added the order. Plus she didn't even...

  20. Experienced Nurses Only

    PANurseRN1 replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be for it. It would cut down on having to wade throught all of the "horrible older nurses" threads/posts, or posts from people who are pre-nursing students but seem to know it all already. Not to...

    PANurseRN1 replied to hotshot05's topic in General Nursing

    Has it occurred to any of you making thinly veiled accusations that maybe, just maybe, the OP contacted a lawyer and was advised not to publicly discuss the

  22. I failed the interview personality test/survey!

    PANurseRN1 replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Many years ago I applied for a job at a hospital that thought it was "all that." They gave applicants a personality test, but in person, with two people asking you questions. One of them asked me "Is...

  23. Mom needs advice please!!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to nurselala33's topic in General Nursing

    What does your daughter want to do? It sounds like you and your husband are getting a little too involved. Providing guidance is one thing, but you're talking about pulling her out of programs,...

  24. Experienced nurses, please help!

    PANurseRN1 replied to lhenson's topic in General Nursing

    Your instructor needs to be smacked upside the head. We are human. Sometimes things will get to us. I will say that once you have to handle these sort of situations routinely, it does get better, but...

  25. who can check blood

    PANurseRN1 replied to a54flo's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    RN+RN/RN+LPN. Never, ever a CNA. I don't know how some of you check blood, but our process involves a wee tad more than just checking an armband.
