I just found out I am pregnant. Does anybody know what types of patients I should not be assigned to take care of?

Hi, I am interested in possibly persuing correctional nursing, that is nursing in a correctional institution. I am skeptical about how it would be to work in a prison on a day to day basis with convicted felons. Anybody have any experience working in...

Yeah, someone told me that the other day as well, and that is why more patients are having their foleys removed earlier, but it is so much more than a foley that could potential cause an infection and it is about staffing, i was just thinking about t...

Hi, I am still in my first year of nursing. I have 3 more months til my year is up, and one of my biggest complaints is having to put up with rude dr. i mean, nursing is stressful by itself especially on the floor that i work, vascular/renal stepdown...

Hi! I currently live in VA, i am a new graduate. I have been thinking about moving to the MD area for a while still thinking, currently working in va. I just wanted to know about the job market in this area and who is the top employer in the area as ...

Yes thank you that does help. That is exactly what someone else told me about being careful, that the inmates will play on your weakness. That does scare me though. I do have some other concerns, i will pm you. ANybody else have any experiences worki...

Cut your losses and move forward, i agree i don't think they will take you back. Sometimes management tries to sugar coat the real problem by minimizing it to you, and then next thing you know you're fired when you didn't think there was a problem.

Well in that situation, the doctor was upset about basically something that was beyond my control, something another dr had failed to write in the progress notes and yet was trying to jump down my throat about something that happened 2 days ago when ...

Okay u asked for an honest opinion, here goes. As a Rn i am required to do a lot of transferring, lifting etc. Before i got hired on, they ask you up front if you are able to lift a certain amount of pounds, and if not i doubt you will be hired for t...

My year will be here nov. 12. can't wait, i am already starting to look for other jobs, but wanted to have that solid year of exp on my resume for negotiation. i also wanted to be np, but after seeing the reality of nursing, it is disheartening, a l...

I agree with every post up here,once i started to agree to come in 1-2 times they assumed that i would do it all the times. that is when i had to put my foot down, i learned my lesson the first time i signed up for an extra shift. had the heaviest pa...

Nursing is a rewarding field to be in, i'm finding that it is all the other stuff that is frustrating, like staffing, unfairness in pt assign, all the other administrative mind games that goes along with the job that brings about the negativity.

Hello everybody. I am a new nurse and I had my first patient who was a drug user yesterday. I took care of him but found it difficult to deal with having a patient like him as he was basically using the system to get his drugs. His problems all came ...

To be honest, I didn't have one ounce of experience coming out of RN school i too am a second career changer. My expectations of my first nursing job interview were that i too would be asked a lot of question, scenarios, clinical experience, etc. Wel...

I agree with the post that said if you are looking for a sign that this is not a good co. to work for, this is it! Your employer is respon. for testing you and the client. I do not recommend you going on your own and doing this outside of your employ...

Yeah, I did the accelerated program and boy it was accelerated I think the whole time which was 18 month we only had 1 week off the entire time. If i had the time i would have opted for the longer time b/t semesters but i had a deadline to meet. Good...

I think I understand your question. Are you asking why get a BSN in nursing if you already have a BS. If so it makes more sense to me to just get another Bachelors degree rather than just an associates. I too have my 1st bachelors in a non nursing fi...
