  1. What was your first Nursing job?

    Maevish replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    I started on a MedSurg/Onc/tele floor and loved it, even though I thought I didn't want to start there. Then mostly ICU, but kept my finger in postpartum, Onc, and did some PACU recently. That...

  2. Calling in for no sleep

    Maevish replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    I still find it absurd that two full nights/days aren't enough to get the required amount of sleep. She asked if it was ok to call out for that reason and yes, it's ok to call in. "Not getting...

  3. How fast did you land a job?

    Maevish replied to johndough's topic in General Students

    I filled out an application as a joke a couple months before I was set to finish nursing school. I got a call a month before I graduated (I was done with my nursing stuff 6 months prior, but had to...

  4. Someone in my charts....

    Maevish replied to Maevish's topic in General Nursing

    My whole post I just wrote got deleted:mad: so I'll try again. I had always read the HIPPA stuff as, if you're not providing direct care in any way, it's illegal to be in another chart. The main...

  5. "Your job is to make me happy"

    Maevish replied to Nurse216's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ask them after..."but did you die?":rolleyes:

  6. What are your views on male nurses

    Maevish replied to jared.butler90's topic in Men in Nursing

    Why yes I have:yes: Maybe I've just been lucky, but that's been my experience everywhere and I've worked in only 8 hospitals in my 9 years (6 of those years was at one hospital, but on multiple...

  7. Day VS Night shift...help

    Maevish replied to Joanie49's topic in General Nursing

    preach!

  8. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    Maevish replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    Nearly every hospital has at least a few day shift open, but they're not hiring for them (or have "already filled them"). Trust me, I've been looking for anything for about a year straight. While...

  9. What do you do when Work calls on your day off?

    Maevish replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have a ringtone for the hospital numbers as well as the manager so if I hear it from another room I know who it is and I don't answer. Unless I want to work OT. If I'm sleeping, then my phone...

  10. Every Mom, Dad, Sis, Uncle Believes They Know Better Than The Nurse...

    Maevish replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Or when they say they they're a nurse and they're in school either for nursing or CNA

  11. Every Mom, Dad, Sis, Uncle Believes They Know Better Than The Nurse...

    Maevish replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I detest more than 2 people in the pt's room at once, mostly because in ICU there are a lot of things needing to be in that room and they aren't it (obviously unless the patient is dying/comfort...

  12. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    Maevish replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The dues and the seemingly constant striking (I won't say the name of the hospital chain) at some points is really obnoxious. When I was at a union hospital I generally didn't care about anything...

  13. What are your views on male nurses

    Maevish replied to jared.butler90's topic in Men in Nursing

    You're always going to get the ribbing from other people about failing out of med school or being in a woman's job field, but everybody always thinks we are actually the sexy nurses like the costumes...

  14. Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    Maevish replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I want

  15. Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    Maevish replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    That's true of most Christian religions (if they go by the bible on this). The person has to be doing it from a place of spirituality that's in line with the teachings of the Bible. That's how a...

  16. Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    Maevish replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Yeah, I would've had an issue with this. I don't know if you watch the show Call the Midwife (or read the books), but it's wonderful. They deal with situations surrounding religion because the house...

  17. I feel nursing is more of a calling than anything else

    Maevish replied to Tarrus Eliuds's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I believe so...you felt a pull to this career for whatever reason. People who are religious just believe that it was their specific deity that called them particularly. Good for you and I wish I'd...

  18. I feel nursing is more of a calling than anything else

    Maevish replied to Tarrus Eliuds's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    The takeaway? Nurses and "Christians" can be very hateful and rude. Thanks for dittoing this post!!

  19. I feel nursing is more of a calling than anything else

    Maevish replied to Tarrus Eliuds's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    This is not a new idea and there's a reason it was considered a vocation for so long. Back in my great-aunt's day, they lived at the hospital, worked at the hospital, cleaned at the hospital and you...

  20. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Maevish replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I think it's the nice thing to do. I never pray anymore and barely consider myself a Christian most of the time, but how much is bowing your head and sharing a moment (not a prayer, specifically)...

  21. Seventh Day Adventist and working on Sabbath???

    Maevish replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I worked at an Adventist hospital for awhile that was near the SDA college I attended and we weren't meant to talk about our personal beliefs constantly. However, when people go to a Catholic, SDA,...

  22. Seventh Day Adventist and working on Sabbath???

    Maevish replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I grew up SDA and haven't practiced in years, however I'm still involved in the college I went to when I can be--usually in the music department, which was my first love. I also have numerous friends...

  23. Did Christian Nursing Schools teach you anything special?

    Maevish replied to AnArtist's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm two classes away from a religion minor because we were required to take so many religion classes while at my private christian school. However, in the nursing program, I don't remember ever...

  24. Boxes of Gloves

    Maevish replied to Pprwrk's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked anywhere where the gloves get tossed (if just standard precautions), but that's not saying that it's right:cheeky:

  25. Day VS Night shift...help

    Maevish replied to Joanie49's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked day shift permanently at any hospital job except for a month and I thought I was gonna die. If you're usually a night person, you shouldn't have any trouble with adjusting to the...
