  2. Visiting Hours on Hospital Floors

    whipping girl in 07 replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a mixed ICU and we have visiting hours at 9 am, and 1, 5, and 9 pm for 30 minutes, 2 visitors at a time, no one under 14 allowed. If we know someone is going to surgery, we let the...

  3. obituaries

    whipping girl in 07 replied to shannonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Call me weird, but I always read the obits, even before I thought about becoming a nurse. I like reading the ones in smaller newspapers; they are longer and tell more about the deceased. The paper...

  4. Is Nursing a good career choice for moms?

    whipping girl in 07 replied to MELIS0106's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing does have a lot of flexible scheduling options. Right now I'm working nights, and since I work 12 hr shifts, that means I work only 3 nights a week. I pick my son up from school around 3:30...

  5. Nurses week Cheap gifts from admin.

    whipping girl in 07 replied to nilepoc's topic in General Nursing

    One of our day unit secretaries went out and bought us (the nurses) a meat platter, every thing we'd need to have sandwiches, cokes, chips, and pies for dessert. She bought enough so that night shift...

    whipping girl in 07 replied to kmchugh's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am currently working in a combined MICU/SICU at a medium sized hospital. I was hired as a new grad (started in January). I got some experience with fresh hearts in orientation as we are so short...

    whipping girl in 07 replied to tmf1202's topic in General Nursing

    At my facility, we are required to float to any floor except women's and children's services. We are given the option to float to these areas but not required. I work in ICU and so far have not had...

  8. merit based salary increases

    whipping girl in 07 replied to woo 2's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I too have experienced "merit" raises. It was at a hospital (although I was not working as a nurse at the time). I'd go in for my review and sit down with my boss to go over the review, and I'd be...

  9. What is your net take home pay every two weeks?

    whipping girl in 07 replied to JMP's topic in General Nursing

    I bring home about $900 after taxes (just got my last check of orientation time so the next one should be better with shift diff). I have life and health insurance held out as

  10. Check out those veins!

    whipping girl in 07 replied to susanmary's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I laughed so hard when I saw this thread! I look at veins all the time, and when I was in school, I would BEG my husband to let me start an IV on him, just once, so I could finally get one! All my...

  11. What Freaks You Out?

    whipping girl in 07 replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I'm weird, I guess. I ENJOY suctioning an ETT, seeing what sorts of crap I can get out of the patient's lungs. I'm always disappointed when I don't get anything or it's just clear and thin....

  12. Photocopy of incident report

    whipping girl in 07 replied to shavsha's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I would keep a copy and never let anyone know about it! The hospital will not back you up if something happens to this patient and they get sued. If you have a copy then you at least...

  13. Is getting married in nursing school a bad idea?

    whipping girl in 07 replied to teresab_2000's topic in General Nursing

    I got married after my second year of college, around the time I decided to change my major to nursing. I had trouble fitting all the prerequisites in to one year, so I didn't expect to get into...

  14. Night Shift Differential

    whipping girl in 07 replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad working in ICU. At my hospital, we get $5.00 for 11-7, $4.00 for 3-11. No weekend diff, and we have to work every other weekend the first year, then every third weekend after that....
