  1. Is there ANY reason for Experienced nurses to be Rude to New Nurses??

    PANurseRN1 replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    It is NOT a tradition. Why can't people see this issue for what it really is? That there are mean people in all workplaces, period. It has little, if anything, to do with experience level. There are...

  2. First time in my clinical "advocating" for my patient

    PANurseRN1 replied to dano's topic in General Nursing

    Please realize that everyone makes mistakes, including docs and nurses. I've seen some very good doctors and nurses make what seemed like basic errors no one should make. Once you are practicing with...

  3. Is there ANY reason for Experienced nurses to be Rude to New Nurses??

    PANurseRN1 replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    Experienced nurses are rude to new nurses. New nurses are rude to newer nurses. New nurses are rude to experienced nurses. Your question should be how you can deal with a rude co-worker, not painting...

  4. i did so many errors today.*needing comfort guys

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

    I don't want to sound harsh, but your preceptor is exactly right to not let these types of errors go. Each was serious and could have harmed the pt. It would be completely unethical for her to...

  5. any comment?

    PANurseRN1 replied to unwanted RN's topic in General Nursing

    There were no fangs in her statement. Travel nurse positions are no place for a new nurse, let alone one who has so many personal problems. I know for a fact that carol has been a traveler for years,...

  6. Protect your profession...

    PANurseRN1 replied to markdanurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If an ED nurse gets pulled to the floor and then is needed back in the ED, what is she supposed to do with her assignment? There are a lot of problems inherent with pulling staff out of the ED. Why...

  7. Generational Differences: kindly share your opinion/experience

    PANurseRN1 replied to yuuki's topic in General Nursing

    You're correct, EmerNurse. Most sources (including the US Census Bureau and the General Accounting Office) define the "Baby Boom" generation as the years from

  8. Pa. State Regs ???

    PANurseRN1 replied to Heather725 RN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you contact the PA

  9. Does seniority = superiority

    PANurseRN1 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    That was extremely

  10. Does seniority = superiority

    PANurseRN1 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    There are plenty of new nurses who are like this too. This is not a problem related to age/experience, it's an individual problem. Please do not restart the anti-older nurse rants. We have enough of...

  11. just a little vent

    PANurseRN1 replied to MIA-RN1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is the kind of post that saddens me. The worst time to try to get practice starting an IV is in an emergency situation. Shame on those co-workers who wouldn't help you. Is there any possibility...

  12. Hired as a Nurse Extern/Intern......

    PANurseRN1 replied to jetskibabe68's topic in General Nursing

    You really need to check with your SBON to see if this is acceptable. There is a big difference between being hired as a new grad who doesn't have a license and your situation. Think about it; how...

  13. "You're gonna need to learn Spanish...."

    PANurseRN1 replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    In case anyone has forgotten, this is not "allamericannurses.com." We have nurses from all over the world visiting here. I would hate to think someone would feel unwelcome based on some of these...

  14. Sleeping during nightshift!!

    PANurseRN1 replied to helpinghands's topic in General Nursing

    It is interesting, though, that in the ED docs are allowed to go back in their lounge and sleep...sometimes for over an hour. At night there are plenty of times when there is down time, sometimes even...

  15. Name hospital and salary--everywhere

    PANurseRN1 replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I see it differently. I was brought up that you NEVER ask someone how much money he/she makes. In my area it's considered

  16. Ordering from Jasco Uniforms

    PANurseRN1 replied to aerorunner80's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I swear by www.smartscrubs.com. Their stuff lasts forever, great customer

  17. +Nursing caps

    PANurseRN1 replied to Calgon-take.me.away's topic in General Nursing

    And then you would be unfairly judging someone based on that person wearing a cap. Nice. Yet another slam at older nurses. It gets

  18. LPN'S are NURSES TOO

    PANurseRN1 replied to imnrs2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you want to be respected, you also need to be respectful of others. That was a grossly unfair

  19. Why don't the big boys understand??

    PANurseRN1 replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you mean. I work at a small community hospital. There are three other hospitals in the county, and one is the largest. You would think they're the daggone Mayo Clinic, the way they...

  20. How to get to work in a snowstorm?

    PANurseRN1 replied to AfloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    And if you have kids, it's your responsibility to make sure you have contingency plans. I'm a bit tired of the old "but I have kids" card being played in these situations. (And holidays, and off...

  21. Questions about wasting NARCS ????

    PANurseRN1 replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in Emergency

    Where I work, that could be grounds for termination. If you don't use all of the med, you must waste the remainder right then and there. It is not permissible to hold the remainder for later, and for...

  22. Chronic COPD'er, 1 lung, 02 @ 6L/min. What would you do?

    PANurseRN1 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    As has been explained in countless previous posts, there are cirumstances when it is totally appropriate to temporarily increase the O2. Pathophysiology, people...you don't just knock out someone's...

  23. 75 Questions on the NCLEX

    PANurseRN1 replied to TheDude,RN's topic in General Nursing

    You can't choose to take 265 questions, and even if you get all of the questions, there is no comparison to having to take hundreds of questions over two

  24. 75 Questions on the NCLEX

    PANurseRN1 replied to TheDude,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain. That's why I don't have a whole lot of patience for the "Wahhh, I have to wait 24h to get my results!" threads. Try sitting through 2 days of testing with several hundred people in...

  25. How to get to work in a snowstorm?

    PANurseRN1 replied to AfloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    My next-door neighbor when I was a kid was a nurse, and I recall several times that guys on snowmobiles would come and get her to take her to work. At the time, I thought it was pretty
