    Best Field Of Nursing

    Medic2RN replied to rajotolentino's topic in General Nursing

    The ER has been fun so far. I'm working on gaining my experience, punching the right tickets and aquiring all the alphabet soup to get into flight nursing. I think that would be a heck of good time!...

    What do you think I should ask for?

    Medic2RN replied to PA_CoffeeFreak's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, definitely ask and sell yourself!! When I was offered my first RN job, I pointed out all of the similar skills I was already competent in with my past experience with EMS. I was given more money...

    I have to tell you after the day that I have had with what my patient DID fart out - this is extremely funny to me at this moment!!!! I want to make it a bumper sticker. Thanks for the

    Unfair orientation discipline?

    Medic2RN replied to RosieD's topic in General Nursing

    Holy Crow!!! You have one bad day because someone you never met before is riding your butt and she wonders why you're not Sally Sunshine? Writing essays and apologies?? Are you getting grounded too?...

    Medic2RN replied to Buddyken's topic in Texas Nursing

    tracking nursing movements

    Medic2RN replied to candycane267's topic in General Nursing

    Why not just strap a camera with audio feed on our heads? Those that monitor can ensure that we are providing patient care, using the appropriate script, performing our hourly rounds and are not...

    Is nursing for me?

    Medic2RN replied to CherryB's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know of anyone who was cussed by a doctor, but have witnessed and experienced the brunt of a physician's unhappiness when the previous day's orders were not carried out. The nurse who didn't...

    Gone are the days where an employee would commit to a company and the company would take care of the employee. Business is business no matter what type of industry. It's not personal anymore. I never...

    Medic2RN replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with sjt9721. We both live in the south of Oklahoma area and there are many dangerous highways out here. I have two little ones and have to assess the safety situation quickly. If I can't...

    New admits at shift change

    Medic2RN replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    When asked about this situation at my hospital, I was told that there are certain times of the day when the patient census on the floors is updated. After the update, the wheels are put into motion to...

    Why is it my fault?

    Medic2RN replied to MJJFan1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, we also do a 12 hour chart check, but now I do a 24 hr one. That instance was not the first time I have had a chunk of butt taken from me for something the prior day shift did not complete. We...

    14 months and I should have never become a nurse

    Medic2RN replied to crazdmomof4's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds like you want to be desensitized in the face of trauma. Although the coursework of an EMT-B has already been covered in nursing school, the experience of seeing trauma patients would be new...

    Challenge Rn Test?

    Medic2RN replied to smoot33's topic in General Nursing

    A majority of the nurses I have come across really don't understand what a paramedic does, they think we just drive the ambulance! I have heard of bridge programs to RN, but not challenging the NCLEX....

    Medic2RN replied to inthesky's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you're willing to reach the doctorate level, then why don't you earn your PhD in psychology? A psychologist would encompass all of the bullets on your "likes" list. It's the first thing I thought...
