    Ms Kylee replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I drew Thanksgiving off since I worked Labor Day, but I have to work Christmas, but have Christmas Eve off. I'm off New Year's, but would rather work it. Maybe I can put a note in the book saying if...

  2. Is there anything else I can do for you? I have the time. (new hourly rounding sheet)

    Ms Kylee replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's on trial on my floor... and it sucks. And the "is there anything else I can get for you? I have time" is pure BS. I DON'T have time.... And this reducing the call bells? Not happening.....

    Ms Kylee replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    After all of the cr** I take from an RN who feels anyone with less with a BSN is "beneath" her and all of her complaining that I don't give baths and don't answer call bells, I got the shock of my...

    Ms Kylee replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Nursing

  8. All of the jobs that I want say BSN preferred

    Ms Kylee replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Classified ads are bascially wish lists of what an employer wants, but they know they're not necessarily going to get. I've applied for and gotten jobs that I didn't meet all of the "requirements" in...

  9. Obesity - Implications For Nursing

    Ms Kylee replied to starshine07's topic in General Nursing

    Strong obese patient.. yep.. had one of them today. Combative to the core. Practically broke my wrist and the IV team lady's wrist while she was trying to start an IV line. Kicked me twice and sent...

  10. Volunteers on your floors?

    Ms Kylee replied to philosophical's topic in General Nursing

    On my floor, they pass the water pitcher, deliver the cards for the patients, and help the patients with their menus if they need it. They also visit with the patients. They're a great help. So are...

  11. Want To Go For Lpn

    Ms Kylee replied to 3babies's topic in General Nursing

    I live in PA and all that is required for LPN is high school diploma or GED. My school required you pass the NET test, and have an interview with the director of the School. I attend part time as...

  15. Why do Nurses do this?

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

  16. How long do you stay over shift to finish work?

    Ms Kylee replied to mrscurtwkids4's topic in General Nursing

    I've stayed as long as 1.5 hours to get my charting done on a very busy day shift, and I've seen the RN's stay at least 2 hours past shift. Worked evenings this weekend and was out on time both...

  17. Why do Nurses do this?

    Ms Kylee replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am being too nice... and not assertive enough. My 6 months probation is up in 30 days (started 5 months ago today), and I'm kind of worried that they won't keep me. Thank you for advice,...

    Ms Kylee replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Ms Kylee replied to philosophical's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I'm having a really crappy night, I remember the words that one of my favorite nurses said to me once. "Kylee, it's just another shift. It's only 8 hours. If you base your decision on this...

    Ms Kylee replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    Geez, I hope not... I started nursing school just 3 months shy of my 45th birthday... I've just finished first level of my LPN program. I'm the second oldest in my class. I just wish I wouldn't have...

  23. What's the dumbest thing you ever got called on the carpet for?

    Ms Kylee replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I got hauled in by the ear (figuratively) for "not being able to be found and not giving baths". What ticked me off was not one of the nurses bothered to come looking for me or ask me where I was or...
