    New grad no preceptor.

    dream'n replied to NewGrad613's topic in General Nursing

    Is it possible that a preceptor was assigned by your manager and for whatever reason this person has simply ignored you? Could be because they're lazy or don't want to bother. Perhaps the manager...

    Feedback appreciated

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

    Sounds like they want to review the video tape to see if this nurse actually gave the med or drew it up and pocketed it. I would be suspicious of a nurse that had no reason to go into another area to...

    Positive pre-employment drug screen! What will happen?

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

    True, I just read that Sudafed can cause a positive for amphetamine. But the further testing can differentiate between the two. So take a deep breath right

    New Grad BSN, RN, PHN, EMT and can’t find work. Legality of working as a CNA?

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

    About 8 years ago I spoke directly with my state's BON (not California) and was told that I could not work in a CNA position, without the CNA certification. Even though I had an RN

    In Need of Some Advice Please

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

    Is it possible to move a little closer to the hospital to decrease the commute? If you work 12 hour shifts at night you would be traveling against the traffic. I would try hard to work up a plan to...

    Does your employer charge you for PTO?

    dream'n replied to michigan94's topic in Psychiatric

    I've worked in a couple top level, lock-down, adolescent residential behavior facilities in the past. When I worked nights I was the only nurse in the facility, therefore I couldn't take a break or a...

    Job change? Love where I'm at, but don't like the field I'm in

    dream'n replied to Monkey Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    You won't hurt the feelings of people that really are your friends. They should support whatever makes you happy. They will be sad for sure, but not angry (and if they are, they aren't people you...

    After all these years of nursing, I should have come up with some sort of hand care routine. For whatever strange reason, I never have I noticed a month or so ago that my hands and forearms look...

    Roadkill Cuisine Perks and Pitfalls

    dream'n replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    I hope the charities in Alaska are told that they're getting roadkill. I don't get why California needs a law about it? People that want it can just cruise the highways, unless they're talking about...

    Women's Right to Choose

    dream'n replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    You are wrong, what do you think partial birth abortion is? It’s when a viable fetus has a needle inserted into the back of its neck to kill it immediately prior to birth, right before the head is...

    Women's Right to Choose

    dream'n replied to River&MountainRN's topic in General Nursing

    My personal opinion only; I dislike the 'pro-life' or 'pro-choice' tag. I'm not one or the other. To me abortion is not a black or white issue, it is in the gray zone. I support choice in early...

    Moving just as training is ending.

    dream'n replied to LPN2RNBoom's topic in Nursing Career

    The professional thing to do is to let them know immediately. That way they can hire another nurse for the position and not pay to train you for a job that you won't be doing. I do find it a bit...
