  2. Pregnant New Graduate Nurse

    rn4ever? replied to Sarahpednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes they cannot fire you due to pregnancy.....but they can always use another reason to do

  3. Pregnant New Graduate Nurse

    rn4ever? replied to Sarahpednurse's topic in General Nursing

    You don't really have to reveal now that you are pregnant if you don't want to. However, they will find out eventually obviously. Just tell them when you believe it is the right time. Do your best...

  4. I am so glad I work night shift

    rn4ever? replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Every nurse has a reason why she chooses or prefers a morning/evening/night shift. The best shift, I think, is the one that will work well with your lifestyle-----may it be morning, noon, or

  5. Do I need Insurance?

    rn4ever? replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    In a society that likes to take legal action, I don't think you'll be off the hook just like that. If one attorney says no, there are thousands of other attorneys who could say yes and fight for that...

  6. Do I need Insurance?

    rn4ever? replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe that having no insurance automatically lets you off the hook. Let's say that something really bad happened to your loved one while in the hospital and it's because of a nurse's very...

  7. Do I need Insurance?

    rn4ever? replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital insurance covers the hospital’s interest. Your own professional liability insurance should protect you should anything happen. Get it if you want it then don’t let your co-workers,...

  8. Ratted out a co-worker and now feel guilty

    rn4ever? replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Oftentimes doing the right thing ain't easy. But guess what, if you didn't report her, you'd feel guilty too! Sad to say too that if the narcs were audited and you didn't report it, they could have...

  9. LTC problem getting assistants to respect me

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

    I learned that you cannot demand respect-----you have to earn it. If they know that you know what you are doing, you’re confident, and you are a real professional person, then that should help....

  10. What is the best nursing advice you ever got from another nurse?

    rn4ever? replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    1. Watch your back 2. Cover your a$$ 3. DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT 4. If you’re not comfortable doing it, don’t! 5. If you are unsure, please

  11. Any reason NOT to post resume online?

    rn4ever? replied to HealerWoman's topic in General Nursing

    Posting your resume online could mean posting it forever-----I don't think you'd want that-----especially when you already have a job and don't want your employer to think that you're still looking...

  12. How to keep track of Dr orders?

    rn4ever? replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    Do a chart-check before your shift is over, ideally towards the end of your shift to check routinely if all orders were taken

  13. Angry ex-boss and applying for new jobs (Help!)

    rn4ever? replied to NICU Kristen's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I don't see why it's necessary for you to include that you worked in that salon if you know all along that if they contact your former boss she'll say not-so-good things about you-----thus, making you...

  14. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    rn4ever? replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously the OP is someone who is immature, selfish, and rude with the comments that he/she posted. Nurses who act this way don't really succeed and make it big. So I pity the OP. Maybe he/she...

  15. Should I become a Nurse at 30?

    rn4ever? replied to flyfish108's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear about that. It seems to me that your life experiences can help you become a really good nurse. Just go for what your heart desires. At 30, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't pursue...

  16. Would you work a shift as an aide?

    rn4ever? replied to AF_BOUND's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, this happens. I don't mind being a tech. Yes, I am an RN but I can also do vitals, pass out meal trays, run down specimens to the laboratory, and escort patients-----and be still paid...

  17. Should tell 'em I am leaving in person, or email?

    rn4ever? replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in Emergency

    Tell him in person then you may e-mail afterwards (just in case he claims that you didn't bid him adieu or didn't give him a heads-up, then you have an evidence that you

  18. Over riding a resident?

    rn4ever? replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    How would you feel if you had chest pain or (soreness in the chest) and this was done to you? Pain is what the patient says it is. With what you posted, it appears that you didn’t want to do it just...

  19. Nurses, do you immediately take bath after duty?

    rn4ever? replied to ms.pebbles's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely

  20. What do you call the Doc?

    rn4ever? replied to Flipper911's topic in General Nursing

    I call him doctor if he is a doctor. They worked hard for that title (and I'm sure spent a lot too J), so it's just proper to call them as such. Unless of course, we are super close or if he insists...

  21. Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?

    rn4ever? replied to trustabdy's topic in General Nursing

    That's one of the reasons why the economy is this way now! Many people having all the bling blings, the fancy cars, and palatial houses-----that truly they cannot afford.....many people pretending to...

  22. Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?

    rn4ever? replied to trustabdy's topic in General Nursing

    "I only share this because I think one can be terribly in debt and appear wealthy. We don't appear wealthy (and we're not), but we probably make atleast 2x what most of my neighbors make. On my pay...

  23. Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?

    rn4ever? replied to trustabdy's topic in General Nursing

    Having lots of $ is not just solely based on how much salary you have. Read the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” and you will learn a lot. Good luck to you on your conquest to living a life of luxury!

  24. RN faces serious challenges at work, seeking answers

    rn4ever? replied to Monkeytoes's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear that you are going through this. It’s good to be honest about your mistakes. It’s also good to learn from them and not commit it again. But also, be careful who you trust in the...

  25. Malpractice insurance for RNs?

    rn4ever? replied to ecierra's topic in General Nursing

    Check out NSO's website. And after you purchase yours, make sure you don't let your employer and patients know that you have
