  1. What was your first Nursing job?

    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

    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?

    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....

    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"

    Ask them after..."but did you die?":rolleyes:
  6. What are your views on male nurses

    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

    preach!
  8. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    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. 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. Or when they say they they're a nurse and they're in school either for nursing or CNA
  11. 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?

    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

    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

    I want
  15. Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    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

    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 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. The takeaway? Nurses and "Christians" can be very hateful and rude. Thanks for dittoing this post!!
  19. 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.

    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. 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. 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. 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

    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

    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...
