  1. I need some professional advice on this situation

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks marielina! You too! I think hospitals , especially right now, are all in crisis. Unfortunately, they are cutting back on nurses and wanting nurses to do more work than they are capable. It...

  2. I need some professional advice on this situation

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in General Nursing

    That is exactly right! It is my license. That is why Im concerned. Ive worked too long to get a license and then you are put in precarious situations where you can lose it. Im putting together a list...

  3. I need some professional advice on this situation

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks canoehead! I am in total agreement. I did ask about the ratio. But I did not ask about the staffing situation. It is one of the worst Ive seen as a nurse ( in the past 7 years). I know from...

  4. lazy cnas

    monicanurse replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

    With lazy CNAs, you have to be a leader and say loud and clear what you expect but also be willing to help them. Dont ever divide yourself between nurse and CNA roles. I find that when I help them,...

  5. I need some professional advice on this situation

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in General Nursing

    itsmejuli: I usually do observation days before I take a job. I honestly must have walked in on a good day. I actually spoke to a new nurse there and she assured me the work was manageable. I am the...

  6. I need some professional advice on this situation

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree. I think you should be somewhat upfront and honest. The hospital is not doing the person or themselves a favor if that nurse does not stay there. They waste alot of money on...

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your advice. I forgot to mention that almost all the patients they get are not even oncology patients but more medical patients or whatever they get in the ER. They failed to also tell me...

  8. I don't know what to do...

    monicanurse replied to sunluvarn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It doesnt suprise me in a way. Nurses are becoming more and more unprofessional in their behaviour. Its a shame. I think alot of her reaction has to do with HER and not with you. She must have stress...

    monicanurse posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi guys and gals, I am a nurse with a varied background: oncology, med surg is the bulk of my experience with the exception of a 1.5 years of critical care. I am an extremely caring person and I...

  10. Is critical care experience essential to be an NP?

    monicanurse posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Just wondering...by logical thought, I would think an NP with critical care background with have an advantage over someone that has had med surg, oncology, neurology , or other...

  11. Is critical care experience essential to be an NP?

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    psychonaut: I can totally relate to your feelings. I think if we didnt have these feelings, we wouldnt be human. In a sense, we are doing a family doctor's job...since most "family doctors" are now...

    You guys are great ! Thanks for the quick response. Im just going to try to expose myself to as many experiences as I can before I graduate. Thanks so

  13. Having anxiety over my decision to be an FNP

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Glad to hear that you remember being a nurse. I know that I'll treat all the nurses very well because I'll never forget how I started. Plus, it elevates the profession when you teach other nurses and...

  14. Is critical care experience essential to be an NP?

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Do you think I might be at a disadvantage when it comes to diagnosing and treating patients because of my lack of "fresh" critical care experience? You are right, I didnt particularly enjoy critical...

    monicanurse replied to monicanurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thankyou for you advice. Yes, I agree. The staff that you work with can make or break your experience. The places Ive had the most job satisfaction is where doctors , nurses and all the staff see...
