  1. Leaving for another job

    Thedreamer replied to SWiseRN's topic in General Nursing

    You need to do what is best for you. We are nurses and full of love and compassion but that also means you need to love yourself too. If you think it will be a better fit for you in the new position,...

  2. Spoke too soon...

    Thedreamer replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Man oh man I have worked 3-11 before.. Its the busiest of all the shifts. Ive worked them all so I am well aware! Two large med passes, admissions, ect. We used to joke that the day nurses simply...

  4. WHAT were they thinking at that Nursing Home???

    Thedreamer replied to JDougRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That is simply tragic. I have worked both LTC and Hospital. My LTC nursing ended almost as quickly as it started for reasons like the OP found. Unfortunately you get some shoddy nurses working LTC....

  5. Broward college May 2012

    Thedreamer replied to prayin 2 b a rn's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went to south campus. It was hell. North campus is the least "negative" of the three. At south throughout the entire program the overall "vibe" was that they intended students to fail. I was...

  6. The Whistle Blower!

    Thedreamer replied to singleumm's topic in General Nursing

    It all comes down to ethics. I have actually seen nurses charting assessments that were never done. Ive seen CNAs charting vitals they never took. I got on shift once and found a patient with a stage...

  7. What is a new nurse to you?

    Thedreamer replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Wow that is very scary. Any nurse should have been able to catch that! I am curious about the "new nurse" thing. I was an LPN for 3.5 years in oncology/hospice and now am a "New Grad" RN. I just got...

  8. What ridiculous things have you seen happen in the workplace?

    Thedreamer replied to pink_shoes99's topic in General Nursing

    I had a nurse at shift report try to pass off tap water as Sugar Free Morphine.. which is blue. That was a fun one. (During hospice) I had a patient write "Hell" on the wall next to her bed with her...

  9. Broward college May 2012

    Thedreamer replied to prayin 2 b a rn's topic in Florida Nursing

    I did my LPN to RN there. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I learned more in LPN school skill-wise and self taught through the entire program. I would recommend applying elsewhere but if your heart...

  10. Demanding resident-vent

    Thedreamer replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Some people are just nasty and miserable. Im very understanding and I dont hold it against them. Some patients have just had miserable lives and they are ending them alone in a home someplace a...

    Thedreamer posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You guys know the things you clip to your scrubs that hold your ID badge. I have seen some really cute ones at the hospital where I do clinicals. There are two I love, the heart shaped ones and the...

  14. Don't know what to do

    Thedreamer replied to Thedreamer's topic in Gastroenterology

    My point is, I am not a drug seeker. I was very anxious and have been in constant pain. I didnt want to be in pain for the procedure because i might not REMEMBER it but my body would still be feeling...

    Thedreamer posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    There is this male in the term ahead of us that for the past three terms has been trying to be very nice to me. Well at first I thought he was just trying to be friendly. Then one day as I was getting...

    Thedreamer replied to LovebugLPN's topic in Agency Nurses

  17. My first day working as a nurse

    Thedreamer replied to Thedreamer's topic in Agency Nurses

    Thedreamer posted a topic in Agency Nurses

  20. RN shortage.. LPN, I think not!

    Thedreamer posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ive had my license a week.. Where did all the LPN jobs

  21. OB Rotation is Hell

    Thedreamer replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My L&D experience was amazing. Yes I had nurses even being cold to me simply because I was a male invading thier unit. But if i got placed with such a nurse I simply told the CN that I needed to...

  22. No She/he Did Not!!!

    Thedreamer replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

  24. February NCLEX takers.....

    Thedreamer replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honestly I felt that even though I worked very hard studying that the test was just 180* The 3000+ questions i studied to prepare for it really only helped in my thought process. So just know how to...
