    tvccrn replied to redhairboy's topic in General Nursing

    Although the screen name says different, I think the OP is referring to themselves being pregnant and administering the

  2. Need help!!! Statistics and Chemistry

    tvccrn replied to Guest399960's topic in General Nursing

    I do have a caution about stats online. If you aren't strong in math, DON'T DO IT!! I suck at math and I used 2 of my three chances doing it online. The last try was an on-campus class and it went...

  4. Now a thread not for students...tips for ICU interns

    tvccrn replied to tvccrn's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the replies. These are definitely the type of thing I was looking for. ****NOTE: I have another thread regarding this in the MICU-SICU forum for better

  5. New intern tidbits

    tvccrn posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    I am heading up a new program for ICU interns in our hospital and I was wondering if any seasoned ICU nurses have any tidbits I can compile for them. I'm not talking the usual ICU knowledge type...

    tvccrn replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I certainly agree that you should stay where you are most comfortable. however, you may not have a choice. Did you hire on for a specific shift or was there any mention that you would be on one...

  7. Pregnant and miserable working

    tvccrn replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    Another thought would be to ask if you could temporarily go to eight hour shifts. The trade off would be minimal (4 less hours a week), but could be very beneficial if you WANT to continue for a bit...

  8. Rules for the ER (long)

    tvccrn replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Then maybe you should have gone into vet medicine instead of human medicine. I know this is a vent thread, but you have just basically admitted abandonment of your patient and not performing your job...

  9. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    tvccrn replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was saying this because you said that someone had to stick up for the non-medical people here. I never implied that YOU were non-medical. That is why I had the original post quoted in my reply. I...

  10. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    tvccrn replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

  11. Can they drop your medical benefits after handing in letter of resignation?

    tvccrn replied to irish123's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the premiums from that check would be the ones for February. If so, then they wouldn't take them out of yours because you won' be there in

  12. texting at work

    tvccrn replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Why is it unpractical? 5 years ago you would have never had a thread like this and things got done then. So it was a bit more work. Texting and cell phone are NOT a necessity to life, they are a...

  13. texting at work

    tvccrn replied to questionsforall's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I can remember when you didn't take personal calls while at work. If someone called for you (provided it wasn't an emergency) a message was taken and you called back on your break. I NEVER take my...

    tvccrn replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

  17. pro life to work in ER OR OB

    tvccrn replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    I have thought the same thing many times. The pro-abortion vs. anti-abortion wouldn't work or most of the people who are pro-choice however, we are NOT pro-abortion. We simply believe that a woman has...

  18. pro life to work in ER OR OB

    tvccrn replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    If you are catholic enough to refuse to take part in an abortion based on the doctorine, then you should follow ALL the doctorine. If you refuse to take part for personal reasons that's a whole...

  19. pro life to work in ER OR OB

    tvccrn replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    Will you care for a drug addict, a murderer, someone who drinks to excess, someone who lies, cheats or steals? I feel if you start saying that you WILL not care for one area of the patient population...

    tvccrn replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

  23. Changed my schedule 3 days before I work it...

    tvccrn replied to jeslynhatRN's topic in General Nursing

    ***emphasis added by me*** Here is the problem: You assumed that you would be working the same schedule without having a final copy of the scedule to back you up. Unless you have something in...

  24. BSN not worth it?

    tvccrn replied to nohika's topic in General Nursing

    FWIW, I'm ADN and am looking for a new position. All the ones I want I'm qualified for except the BSN. And all of them have gone with people who are more "qualified" meaning they have their BSN....
