    took time off from nursing - now its time to go back

    Magsulfate replied to gj59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They are not just hoops, they are hoops of fire that you're gonna be jumping through. But, with what you've already been through, it should be easy for you. You will do fine,, and being in a peer...

    illegal nursing

    Magsulfate replied to helpthehelper's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Well, I don't see it as being impaired if you take what is prescribed and it doesn't cloud your judgment. If you sit down and think about it for a bit, though,, one has to wonder why it takes a...

    Magsulfate replied to WoofyMutt80's topic in General Nursing

    So,,, she really is a registered nurse in MA. THis is sad. Hopefully ( I know this sounds bad) hopefully she was high on something,, and this isn't her normal way of acting. Being a nurse and all, you...

    I'm still in shock ...!

    Magsulfate replied to Rascal1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    It's good to vent. I feel like it makes me feel better when I do it! That's why I did it tonight. Sometimes typing it all down and reading it over makes you feel better. And sometimes it feels good...

    Magsulfate replied to Rascal1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh man... sometimes there are those kind of people,, and you really can't do anything about it. It was bad luck that you had her orienting you. YOu couldn't do your work because she hadn't really...

    What should be included when Charting?

    Magsulfate replied to Nursebabe2009's topic in General Nursing

    I have to disagree with you on charting if the patient is asleep, or if they deny discomfort. This is very important,, who knows if in two hours they may have a lot of discomfort,, in the notes it...

    Warning-DNR forms are worthless

    Magsulfate replied to Blackcat99's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, I make sure to stress this to our families of new admits. I work in an LTAC ICU and a lot of our folks will have or be considering DNR. IF they have one already, we must write an order and have...

    dumbest things you have done as a new nurse

    Magsulfate replied to nminodob's topic in General Nursing

    I did the blood thing before,, when I was a new nurse. Blood went all over the floor. Needless to say, it has NEVER happened again. I had a female patient who needed a foley,, and a bunch of student...

    What should be included when Charting?

    Magsulfate replied to Nursebabe2009's topic in General Nursing

    Well,, is there an assessment sheet? If so, fill in the blanks. Different facilities chart differently so it's hard for us to tell you how to chart there. If you have to write out your findings in...

    when do i have to tell them i'm prego??

    Magsulfate replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I think you should wait until it is obvious. Sometimes you can be 4 to 5 months along before you start showing. In scrubs it may be even longer. As long as you tell them a month or two before...

    Magsulfate replied to rollydrooly208's topic in General Nursing

    Can't make a decision for the life of me...

    Magsulfate replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered becoming a nurse practitioner? Just because you go to nursing school doesn't mean you can't stop going to college and continue learning. There are doctorate degrees for nurses....
