  1. confused as to what to do

    Dolce replied to momtojosh's topic in General Nursing

    Rehab is right. This is a very common issue that nurse's struggle with. I tend to get "guilted" into doing things too so now if I don't want to work I just screen my

  2. Will I get fired?

    Dolce replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    What a person does on their break is up to them. I have no problem with sleeping on a break. The OP was not on a break, she just went into the break room to get coffee and use her cell phone. No...

  3. Will I get fired?

    Dolce replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you should care. If a patient suffers because you were sleeping and no one knew you were taking a break you are going to be in a big time trouble. I understand the lack of orientation. That...

  5. Negotiating pay for a new grad

    Dolce replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised that you were able to get work through an agency as a new grad. I don't know of any agency that will employ new grads. I think that you should wait to hear what they offer you. You...

  6. Experience?

    Dolce replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Many NP programs do not require any RN experience. Unlike CRNAs which require 1-2 years minimum critical care experience, NPs do not all have that. I have checked out a number of schools out here...

  7. Ever had an MD document things to make you look bad?

    Dolce replied to ruralnurs's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This post just makes me see red!! I agree with Lindarn--this doc needs to be reported to the state BOM. It is illegal to falsify records--especially someone elses! Shame on this

  8. Rituxan and staffing guidelines

    Dolce replied to Pudnluv's topic in General Nursing

    Eeek! There are just so many things scary about this situation I don't know what to say. I don't have any guidelines to point you to, but anytime a tele nurse has 9 or 10 patients something is just...

  9. calling the doc

    Dolce replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

  10. calling the doc

    Dolce replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

    In nursing you really have to grow a backbone. I don't call the docs to chat--it is strictly professional. I state my purpose in calling, request what I need and get on with it. I expect...

  11. Options for Nurses who HATE nursing.

    Dolce replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think

  12. Do you take any stimulants?

    Dolce replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Tea, Coffee, Diet Coke, chocolate. I try not to feel guilty when I educate my patients on nutrition and healthy food choices.

  13. Completely ignorant and need help

    Dolce replied to deadbydawn's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to get her a great book consider one of Echo Heron's. She is an author who practice nursing during the 80s and 90s. Her books are a great read for nurses and pre-nursing students....

  14. Completely ignorant and need help

    Dolce replied to deadbydawn's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses love watches. I like a good watch that is water resistant (lots of hand washing) and cleans well. Usually something metal and not leather is a good choice. Something that can be cleaned...

  15. To Be Or Not To Be

    Dolce replied to Rescue Ninja's topic in General Nursing

    David, it sounds like your qualifications would make you an excellent nurse. Please don't be turned off by the LTC side of things. Some nurses and CNAs love LTC, some hate (I'm one that hates it)....

  16. Stories of the craziest patient you've ever had?

    Dolce replied to RNJayhawk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe the world needs to understand

  17. Licensed after 55?

    Dolce replied to Nurse2BB's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked with many 60+ nurses and at least one who was 70+. I can assure you that they could run circles around anybody in their

  18. Stories of the craziest patient you've ever had?

    Dolce replied to RNJayhawk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I wonder why the doctor didn't order a CAT

  19. Stories of the craziest patient you've ever had?

    Dolce replied to RNJayhawk's topic in Ob/Gyn

    RNJayhawk, that story is scary!!! What is the matter with some parents??

  20. Commercial proposal

    Dolce replied to MSADN's topic in General Nursing

    Just so the nurse isn't wearing a little white outfit, tights and a

  21. Most Dangerous Part of Nursing

    Dolce replied to SummitProduction's topic in General Nursing

    The growing epidemic of obesity in our country has produced some real challenges for healthcare providers. Not all facilities are equipped with special bariatric beds and lifts and yet we can't turn...

  22. Disturbed...

    Dolce replied to DroogieRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I do not at all think it is cruel to bathe a dying patient. Bathing a patient can be very comforting. Nursing students are wonderful for dying patients because they have the time that those patients...

  23. Some advice please! (kind of long post...sorry)

    Dolce replied to shining_star28463's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't take that job. First of all, she lied to you when she said that today was the only time they've had to work short. If they've been looking for a nurse for that long they have been working...

  24. Made a nursing judgement error- any horrible stories to share?

    Dolce replied to CrazyFLBean's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Inserting all the way to the Y even after urine return seems unwise to me. I once cared for a patient with a fistula between her bladder and lady parts. When I inserted her suprapubic foley it came...
