  1. Grandma!! Study in every spare second you have from now until then. A little extra in the morning, a little extra in the evening, skip fave show to study, etc. See if others will drive so you can...
  2. Go for it.
  3. 30 people laid off of my hospital (Non-nursing staff)

    I agree. I think it will get much worse before it gets better. My husband worked for Lehman and was blessed to be part of the transfer to Barclays. Many of those we know haven't been half as lucky. He...
  4. 30 people laid off of my hospital (Non-nursing staff)

    All those laid off will be in my thoughts and prayers. My heart goes out to all of them. I'm so happy you work surrounded by kind and supportive people. Makes work so much more enjoyable when that...
  5. I'm just so sick of all the DRAMA (long)

    If management knows and isn't doing something about it I would start looking for another job. It's a shame that you will be the one to leave but your health and happiness come first. It's not worth...
  6. shouldnt precepting be teaching , not working?

    I would see how things go with the new preceptor. It sounds like they are trying to get you the help you need. Tell your new perceptor exactly how you feel and ask questions when you are unsure. I...
  7. Is it time to get rid of 12 hour shifts?

    I love 12 hour shifts and wouldn't want to work anything but them. I love having 4 days off a week and my body can definitely handle the long hours. If someone can't handle the long hours and their...
  8. A memorial to one of our posters: Josh Harmon

    I'm so sorry for your loss. He sounds like a wonderful man. I bet he's a lot like his father. He died a hero and I'm grateful to him and all those that fight for us. Their courage knows no bounds....
  9. new corporation investigating health care workers

    I find it overboard and would look for another job
  10. end of my rope...trying to tie a knot and hang on!

    It sounds like you are only working one night right now so I would tell them you can only work days as of your next schedule. That will allow you to keep all your day shifts and perhaps force them to...
  11. end of my rope...trying to tie a knot and hang on!

    Agree with the others...your shifts are killing you. It needs to stop ASAP. I would tell them you aren't doing the night shift anymore and will pick up a day shift if one is available. I would be firm...
  12. Telling it how it is.

    I think that's the crux of the whole scenario. You didn't know them for two minutes and start being blunt but had taken care of them for a bit and felt comfortable enough to be honest. You also threw...
  13. Your patient fell? You need to be disciplined!

    That's what I would do too. You are in essence putting the ball back in their court where it belongs. I hope all the nurses in your facility follow suit. They
  14. Your patient fell? You need to be disciplined!

    You are making too much sense. Can't have that in hospitals. It scares them. If they had one brain cell combined of course they would hire extra nurses but they tallied up their brain cells and only...
  15. Karma Rocks

    Karma Baby!! Good for you!! It's nice to read a happy ending like this one. Shame on the gossip monger but now that she's been schooled let's hope she learned her lesson for the future. Send her a...
  16. 40 year old starting NS and taking the ACT

    Congrats on your decision to be a nurse!! I am posting a link to the student forum because when I was in school I found it to be an invaluable source of info. It has info on different entrance tests,...
  17. Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    Now I'm cracking up again. TY. I needed that.
  18. Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    You crack me up. lol I'm going with C. Texting him back is prob even better at present. Keep the proof and it would also be more comfortable for the OP and
  19. Cna Vs. Medical Assistant

    Pls don't think you will be making as much as a RN as a MA. I've seen that posted here twice in the last few days and schools are really misguiding their MAs to get them to enroll under false...
  20. Help! Being stalked by a resident!!!

    I really think you would be wise to just address this with the resident directly. This is certainly isn't stalking at present. Let him know you flat out aren't interested and don't want him to contact...
  21. Nurse manager says you can't refuse iv

    Good advice. I wouldn't put one in either. I'm not risking my license nor am I going to put myself into a position where I could be charged. They have the right to
  22. CMA Student Fooled...

    Poor thing. She is going to end up with a whole lot of debt and in a job that pays a fraction of what she thinks she will be getting. A few calls around for the going rate for MAs would have done the...
  23. Head to Toe assessment

    That's absolutely absurd. They are penalizing all RNs on your floor because one was complained about?! Idiocy runs rampant at your facility. What a freakin' joke. I've never had that happen but I'd be...
  24. Does ProCPR "fly" with school?

    My school requires AHA. Pls call and check what your school requires as it appears most have a specific course they want you to take. Good luck.
  25. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    I'm not familiar with this school. What's going on that people are so upset?!
