  7. Nurses Smoking

    rags replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    Please before you become an RN take a class in compassion. It is a necessity to be a nurse. You are not allowed to judge your pt's and I feel this just may be an uphill battle for you so I would begin...

  8. Nurses Smoking

    rags replied to JENNLEE's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think this might have something to do with the fact that they are not spending 12 -13 hours or more at the hospital during a shift, but rather their time to make rounds and then they are gone...

  10. Proof There's No Nursing Shortage: Show RN's the MONEY

    rags replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    You won't get paid more simply because of the degree. All the fuss about not enough pay isn't that we think we don't make any money, but that we should be paid MORE for what we are doing. I make a...

  11. Abandonment???

    rags replied to Happeetxn's topic in General Nursing

    I would have thought a simple, "I'm leaving now, I last gave pain meds at blah blah time and have left report for you on the recorder". I DO believe this is pt abandonment and very poor practice by...

  12. Proof There's No Nursing Shortage: Show RN's the MONEY

    rags replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I strongly believe that it depends on the environment and the area you live in. Pay should only be 1 factor in deciding if a certain job or facility is right for you and if the pay is a fair one.

    rags replied to katiebugg's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! We had a nurse who saved all of her charting for the last couple of hours. She took excellent notes through out the night and this worked well for her, but... She had a family emergency one...

    rags replied to katiebugg's topic in General Nursing

    Accept the fact that you will learn more now than you EVER did in nursing school and that you WILL make some mistakes along the way. Just pray they are little ones and remember to learn from all of...

  15. "It shouldn't be that hard to be a nurse"

    rags replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to agree with chickapin. I also agree that nursing school should be hard to get into but not in the way that it is. I think it's hard because there isn't enough spots for all the applicants not...

    rags replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

  17. HESI vs NCLEX

    rags replied to moongirl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would imagine the biggest difference in the two tests would be the level of anxiety you have at the time of testing. When you take the NCLEX remember to breath, take your time, don't think about...

  19. Taking Blood Pressure

    rags replied to astone1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't totally trust the auto machines. If I find a pressure is not what I anticipated or seems "odd" I take it manually. I also take it manually on certain pt's to begin with because I: 1) know they...
