    The ANA is worthless, looks down on floor nurses, don't join!

    dream'n replied to DannyBoy8's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, the ANA stance is so transparently pro-hospital bean-counter I could vomit. I've never liked the ANA and have never wanted to be a member. Thanks for reminding me why. They seriously can't...

    dream'n replied to ceegee69's topic in General Nursing

    dream'n replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Hand me some popcorn please. As the parent of an adult transgender male, how dare you be so judgmental. My son had lots of long term professional therapy to explore his feelings before even starting...

    Sometimes the five rights make us look dumb

    Smoking outside

    dream'n replied to LTC_DON's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Smoking is legal, but all businesses have the right to allow it or not on their premises. I haven't worked where smoking was allowed in or around the outside of a facility since 1998. Besides, alot...

    dream'n replied to wendiwhiner's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm sure that Joint Commission or state surveyors would have an issue with this weird plate idea. Tell that to the COO and owners, maybe then they'll cough up the money for disposable medication...

    Heck no! Do not meet up with this person to speak with her. Sounds like they may be stalking you. I'd stay as far away as possible and tell those I know that I do not want to discuss her in any way,...

    ACLS for non-nurses?

    dream'n replied to solDanz's topic in General Students

    No you should not get ACLS certified, even if it is possible (I have no idea). ACLS procedures would not be allowed to be done by you; you couldn't push IV medications, read EKG strips on your own...

    Trouble for taking Doctors candy

    dream'n replied to zynnnie's topic in General Nursing

    The last hospital I worked at had separate dining rooms for Dr's and all of us 'unwashed masses.' This was in 2015 and a hospital in a large, urban area. I peeked in once when a Dr. was coming out and...

    New RN, and hate nursing already

    dream'n replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to Nursing 2017! The agency doesn't care who they assigned you, they don't care you are a new grad. All they are interested in is that you are a RN and that you need to 'make it work'....

    Physical demands?

    dream'n replied to caren19's topic in Psychiatric

    I work inpatient with adolescents. Don't think I've ever had to do any ADLs or lifting at this job. The adolescents can get very physical and aggressive, but I've found that most of my patients...

    dream'n replied to mkoenig1's topic in General Nursing

    Our stories are fairly similar, although my baby was a newborn. I knew I had to get the quickest education around and start working. My plan was to support us as a LPN while going back for my RN....
