  1. Socks & clogs??? - Help!!

    MA Nurse replied to LM838's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's odd that you have to wear clogs. They can be dangerous, not very safe. I also recommend support stockings of some kind. I have gotten bad varicose veins over my 27 years of

    MA Nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    MA Nurse replied to UK nurse88's topic in General Nursing

    MA Nurse replied to chocolateistheanswer's topic in General Nursing

    I feel your pain. On the other hand, when I was a new graduate I did my time on nights for 7 years and just dealt with it. I think most hospitals have similar requirements about working nights first...

  7. Falsely accused of med diversion

    MA Nurse replied to kindia's topic in General Nursing

    I understand you are on a busy floor, but you need to protect your license by not getting narcotics out early in anticipation the patient "might ask for it." If you want to be off that list, just get...

  11. What is your dream unit?

    MA Nurse replied to guest769224's topic in General Nursing

    I was in nursing school in the 80's. They told me the same thing: work a year in med surg first. Such BULL. I went straight into the NICU as a new grad. I didn't like working with adults either. Keep...

  18. I HATE Nurse Practitioners

    MA Nurse replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    If I were you, I would keep out of it. I worked with a NP who was not very friendly. It seemed as though she was in her own little world, not a doctor or a bedside nurse, so she wasn't easy to deal...

  21. Ask a question till reporting nurse can't answer one

    MA Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    MA Nurse replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    MA Nurse replied to angiebh87's topic in General Nursing

    6 years ago?? Don't most RN's have to renew their license every 2 years? Just my opinion of course...but 1 DUI for anyone is one too many. Why don't you want to do what they are asking of you? And to...
