    Beary-nice posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I am laying out my situation because I don't know what to do about it anymore or where to turn. Sorry if this gets long. I have been working on the same med-surg unit for over 5 years. My...

    Beary-nice replied to Beary-nice's topic in General Nursing

    Well, another update, been doing some talking to find out what is going on and the conclusion is that I am being poo-poo'd because of a few select folks not being able to see past my LPN experience...

  9. The difference between Med-Surg nurses and ICU nurses

    Beary-nice replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    My take is this... The ICU at the facility I work at contains nurses with many years of experience, and if it is that they only have a few years experience, they are exceptionally good nurses. I have...

    Beary-nice replied to Beary-nice's topic in General Nursing

    I have considered applying and then trying to find out point blank what it is she thinks is my deficiency. She really seems to think it is that I need one more year...if it is because she feels I...

  11. Help me stop obsessing over my shortcomings

    Beary-nice replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    You are beating yourself up way too much and will be heading down a path of self destruction. Briefly reflect on what didn't go right, briefly think about what you could or could not have done...

  12. Hopeless? Hopeful? You be the judge...please

    Beary-nice replied to Beary-nice's topic in General Nursing

    Here is an update to my situation. I went Thurs. to talk to #2 manager. I was simply going to go ask her face to face what it is they are looking for and what kind of things I need to work on in...

    Beary-nice replied to Beary-nice's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Indy. You hit the nail on the head. The MS unit that I currently work on has a very, VERY difficult time retaining nurses. So there is one big tip-off there. And as far as the...

    Beary-nice replied to Beary-nice's topic in General Nursing

    I am considering talking to one of the other managers, just to see what they say...see if they think I need "more time" or what they are exactly looking for. I had talked to one a few months ago who...

    Beary-nice replied to momthenRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    We have a Coumadin video for pt's to watch as well as info on paper and then usually one of the dieticians will come talk to them about diet concerns with Coumadin. I don't know if it's our protocol...

  17. Preceptor Training

    Beary-nice replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think you would be an awesome preceptor! I would appreciate a preceptor that would teach me the real world, gray area of nursing rather than someone who was real anal, black and white, and you do...

  19. ACID & BASE HELP & ABGs

    Beary-nice replied to MrsRNn2009's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Metabolic acidosis can occur from diarrhea, I think of upper GI tract as acidic and lower GI alkaline if that makes sense. Loss of bicarb results in

  20. what are these people thinking???

    Beary-nice replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    I very seldom bring anything and leave it in the staff frig. Had a coworker who loves flavored creamer with her coffee. She bought the deluxe sized bottle of creamer, put her name on it and the date...

    Beary-nice replied to engima2174's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    These are some of my favorite threads! I enjoy seeing people so excited about nursing school and gathering all of their new supplies. As many years as I have been a nurse, it is funny, but when I get...
