    Failure is an Option: A New Grad Story

    IrishIzCPNP replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    Reading Hospital- Scrubs

    IrishIzCPNP replied to kimann80's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    They have hired new grads onto L&D, PP and even NICU. The hiring really depends on needs...sometimes they can't afford new grads because they need the experience on the floor. It certainly isn't...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I applaud you for taking responsibility and acknowledging the mistake. It isn't about shunning those who make mistakes...the issue is the nurse who can't see the mistake and his/her part in it....

    Is this a common attendace policy?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

    Some employers are heartless. One night I was working I saw a nurse who I didn't expect to see. I asked what she was doing at work. She had to work that night even though her mother passed away...
