  1. New Flex Pool RN Losing Her Focus

    aboucherrn replied to Vespertinas's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the nice reply :) I have floated to a different unit every shift of this new assignment, and each shift has presented a different "challenge". I want to write more, but I need to...

  2. Work ethic, what's your take on it all

    aboucherrn replied to cardiacrocks's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Most places I have worked have an attendance policy that states you get so many call-ins per year before you are terminated. The way around that is the FMLA act, which I have seen coworkers blatantly...

  3. I'm not asking anyone to lie or contribute to a fight but...

    aboucherrn replied to missmina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It sounds like you know what you should do. I have been a nurse for 13 years, have a pretty darn good resume, I obtained my BSN, and my father still thinks I can do better. You really do have to do...

  4. If you had to do it over again would you?

  6. What's your weird quirk?

    aboucherrn replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    If I see any food or body fluid stains on my patient's linens, I have to change the whole bed. I cannot STAND the sound of IV pumps beeping. It's literally enough to send me over the edge of sanity....

  7. Demeaned by a Doctor

    aboucherrn replied to chall2011's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I struggle with the nurse-physician dynamic even after many years as an RN. I hate talking to them, I hate calling them for orders, and I hate how most of them have no idea what nurses do. Most of...

  8. Hit rock bottom... ruined nursing career... life is a mess right now...

    aboucherrn replied to NurseCard's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have not been on this site for years. I recently moved across the country, and the new job is "less than desirable" ... to say the least. I woke up after a terrible three day stretch and could not...
