  1. Finally!!

    rn4ever? replied to Babycatcher2Be's topic in Ob/Gyn

    CONGRATULATIONS!

  2. How to Submit my Two Week Notice???

    rn4ever? replied to westieluv's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Don't burn bridges. The world of nursing is not very big. You might bump into your DON or a former co-worker in another facility. There's no use to air your grievances and grudges when you exit....

  3. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    rn4ever? replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    Ginger80, I know you are feeling guilty. However, I believe that you had honest intentions and I don't see the malice in what you did. I know you were concerned. It is okay that you told the...

  4. Applying for new RN position, put down former (bad) supervisor?

    rn4ever? replied to 09NewGrad's topic in General Nursing

    Put down the name of the house supervisor then (write his name down then write his title so it's clear that he is the house supervisor).If you know your former boss could bad-mouth you and cost you a...

  5. Overnight Care for children?

    rn4ever? replied to LilNurse2b143's topic in General Nursing

    This would also benefit single parents who work the overnight shift-----especially if they don't have family or friends that's nearby that they can rely

  6. can they say I was terminated?

    rn4ever? replied to NamasteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    The former employer may convey a negative message without being straight-forward to the new employer. However, I came across an article that said that some people choose to hire a third party-----an...

  7. Nurse chatting/dating patient

    rn4ever? replied to springgarden's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Please don’t do it springgarden. You know it’s wrong that’s why you are doubting right? Find someone else. Not a patient under your care who is on some form of drugs and someone vulnerable...

  8. Is there a nursing shortage or not?

    rn4ever? replied to nurse.sandi's topic in General Nursing

    Try California and see if there is a shortage. If the employer thinks that 6 nurses can cover the whole floor instead of 10, then there is no shortage. Sadly, 6 nurses would be enough in their...

  9. Is there a nursing shortage or not?

    rn4ever? replied to nurse.sandi's topic in General Nursing

    There is no nursing shortage in my opinion. Because of the economy, many facilities have stopped hiring nurses (not just nurses actually…..but employees in general). As a result, the nurses who...

  10. is it wrong to sit on a patients bed?

    rn4ever? replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    Is it wrong to sit on a patient's bed? I think yes in this context..... First, you don't know what illnesses/diseases you might catch from doing so. Second, since you're wearing your hospital...

  11. Is it ok to wait a couple days before you accept job offer?

    rn4ever? replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    I don't expect someone to accept the job offer right away or on the spot. I think 24 hours is good enough to decide whether or not you want it/will accept it. But 4 days? If I were the HR...

  12. To strike or not to strike?

    rn4ever? replied to hipaacrates's topic in General Nursing

    I will do as I wish and not because somebody else told me to do so! If you were truly concerned about patient care and your patients, why would you encourage every nurse in the hospital to walk out...

  13. How to ace an interview and get hired if you're a new graduate with no experience?

    rn4ever? replied to willowRN's topic in General Nursing

    1.Dress in a business attire/business suit. 2.Don’t ask about money and salary the first time you meet your interviewer. At one point, I became an interviewer. If somebody asked me right away...

  14. To strike or not to strike?

    rn4ever? replied to hipaacrates's topic in General Nursing

    I am not discounting the possibilities. Just being realistic! You may be able to change one thing but you cannot change everything-----and you can’t expect that everything will work your way all...

  15. To strike or not to strike?

    rn4ever? replied to hipaacrates's topic in General Nursing

    If you are unhappy with your employer, go find another job! You cannot change the world. Things in this world will not bend according to your whim. If you are truly concerned about the patients'...

  16. Help! Need advise! I just resigned!

    rn4ever? replied to NrsKyssez's topic in General Nursing

    Have you been calling out already? Do you and your ex-manager see eye to eye to begin with? If not then I don't believe that you have something to lose in this scenario. You were just there for...

  17. 2 job offers, which one to choose?

    rn4ever? replied to germanshep's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! I work in Psych. I worked in Child Psych too. I am glad I chose to be a Psych Nurse. In the future if you want to venture into another type of nursing, just think of it this way,...

  18. What info should be "tattooed" on a nurse's brain?

    rn4ever? replied to rloh961's topic in General Nursing

    Lab values/normal values are all in the computer. You don't have to memorize them. The important thing to remember is this.....do things correctly always and document-----so they don't haunt you...

  19. Any one who just passed the NCLEX? Please share your experience and study tips.

    rn4ever? posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hello everyone. Please share your NCLEX test-taking experience and NCLEX study tips. Thanks and have a nice

  20. Thank you gift for a preceptor?

    rn4ever? replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Nursing

    A Starbucks gift card (if she drinks coffee this will be obviously good, if she doesn't she can always eat or drink something else!) a thank you note, and letting the NM know in writing how your...

  22. *UNEMPLOYED NURSES*

    rn4ever? replied to bree*'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am curious how anyone can just claim that they see many "foreign nurses" working in their hospital. How did you actually know they are foreign? Did they show you their passport? Or you just...

  23. What to do when co-workers can't keep up any more?

    rn4ever? replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    You have two options I believe: 1. If you do see mistakes or errors, document it and let your manager know. Let him/her handle it. 2. If you are just jealous, envious, annoyed, impatient, have a...

  24. Fired. Will I ever work again?

    rn4ever? replied to Jack43's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry that you are going through all these. But seek professional help if you need to. I hope that things become better for you

  25. I feel guilty in canceling my extra shift...

    rn4ever? replied to ARRR10's topic in General Nursing

    You did your co-worker something good…..but this will definitely not sit well with your boss and with management. I hope though that your co-workers are worth fighting for and that they’d also be...
