  1. What do you think of this Ambien order?

    rn4ever? replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally don’t think it’s a med error. However, this kind of order needs to be clarified. Where I work, this kind of order will most likely look like this: Ambien 5 mg PO PRN at HS for...

  2. Would you ever own a motorcycle? YES or NO?

    rn4ever? replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen many people get badly injured and die from it. No I won't-----it's just too dangerous. I am not a

  3. When are you no longer a new grad?

    rn4ever? replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    When are you no longer a new grad? When the recruiter thinks you are not. Because if she wants to hire you, she will. And then, if she doesn't want you, she will find a dozen excuses why you are...

  4. Nursing and sexual orientation

    rn4ever? replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    Your orientation is your business. But just a friendly reminder, if you don’t want others to talk about your stuff, don’t share your personal life with them. Gossip in the work place can really be...

  5. new job and pregnant?!?!

    rn4ever? replied to rntobe10's topic in General Nursing

    If I were in your shoes, I'd wait until I'm eligible for FMLA (I think it kicks in after working for a year in the company and rendering 1250 hours). With these tough economic times, it's also hard to...

  6. am I crazy to even think about this?

    rn4ever? replied to Lola77's topic in General Nursing

    Do what you want to do. But after you made the choice, stick with it and be a responsible adult. Don’t blame other people. Best of

  7. Master's after 40, is it worth it?

    rn4ever? replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you can get your return of investment-----like if you are guaranteed a position that would pay appropriately to what you've spent for your Master's. Otherwise, just start saving up for...

  8. FMLA

    rn4ever? replied to cecilsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    You have to apply for FMLA and need to have the proper documents for it to be approved. I used it before when I got hospitalized. You couldn’t really tell if somebody is abusing it. For one, you...

  9. Am I stupid for giving this up?

    rn4ever? replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    Go for what your heart desires. Do what is best for you and do what will make you happy. If you think the position in the clinic suits you, that should be fine. And no, it’s not a stupid move. But...

  11. anything you wish you were told in nursing school that you werent?

    rn4ever? replied to karyan06's topic in General Nursing

    That there can be too much politics at work in the world of nursing. That what they teach in school becomes 100 x harder in the real world. That you should always watch your back and trust no one...

  12. Identifying yourself as an RN when flying commercial

    rn4ever? replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    This might sound like a stupid question, but I was just curious, what happens if someone was having a heart attack on the plane and an RN comes forward to help, does the RN just function on her own?...

  13. Are LPN's being Phased Out?

    rn4ever? replied to angelcarmichael's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Where I work at, they were let go last year. Most of them were there for over 20/30 years! It's

  14. Overwelmed with fulltime job--need advice

    rn4ever? replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    If you can afford it then reduce your hours. Is $800 worth all the stress and being burned out? If you get so overwhelmed to the point that you can't take it anymore and then quit, it will be worth...

  15. Can a hospital make you repay the cost of training you if you quit?

    rn4ever? replied to confusedRN2010's topic in General Nursing

  16. Can i say yes to a job, then say no the next day?

    rn4ever? replied to Hartley's topic in General Nursing

    With this kind of economy, it's really hard to turn down job offers. How about if you push through with the first one and ask for a PRN/pool position in the second one if they call you

  17. Cosmetic Surgery RN- waste of time and experience?

    rn4ever? replied to nursemimi08's topic in General Nursing

    Thought you were burnt out of your current job already? If so, why not try being a cosmetic surgery RN? Don't worry much about being hirable in the future. The way I see it, if the NM wants to hire...

  18. If you can say one thing to your boss, what would it be?

    rn4ever? posted a topic in General Nursing

    How happy or unhappy are you with your job as a nurse? If you can tell one thing to your higher-ups and get away with it, what will it

  19. White Supremacist patients

    rn4ever? replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    I work in Psych. When they insult me, sometimes I just say "Thank you." Then they get more upset and ask why I am still pretty cool about it, I just say:" Well, I have heard worst than that". And...

  20. Please be honest!

    rn4ever? replied to kalinka's topic in General Nursing

    Well if you are doing it for the money, realize that nurses’ salary don’t make one filthy rich-----so maybe you should go to Wall Street and work there if you want the $$$$$? Do I enjoy sniffing...

  21. Highest paid specialty in nursing ?

    rn4ever? replied to Elleveein's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, HR goes by your number of experience-----regardless of which unit you work

  22. Who plays the "I'm a Nurse Card"?

    rn4ever? replied to Doc Lori, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't announce it. I am just quiet about it. But I guess it won't be hard for them to discover. One time in the hospital, the anesthesiologist asked me a couple of questions until she finally...

  23. I hate my supervisor

    rn4ever? replied to kikwon89's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Following every Dr.’s order is not a guarantee to a lawsuit-free career in nursing. Remember that as a nurse, you also should lobby for your patients. If a dose or order is incorrect, do not give...

  24. FMLA

    rn4ever? replied to vanessarhea's topic in General Nursing

    Don’t want to be negative here but I am just being realistic. Sometimes when an employee goes on leave, some employers make this a perfect chance to get rid of them by doing something like this...

  25. I hate my supervisor

    rn4ever? replied to kikwon89's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Nurses are trained professionals and not robots. Critical thinking skills are very important. We make decisions that are very vital and we have to decide quickly most of the time. If Magnesium...
