  1. Dansko Sizing

    mazy replied to FutureUofARN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Danskos are supposed to be big when you buy them. Over time they shrink to fit the specific shape of your foot. I have a pair and I love them, they are sooooo comfortable. Most Dansko stores have...

  2. Can someone proofread my resume please?

    mazy replied to TooterIA's topic in General Nursing

    Erm...that's a whole lot of personal information to be posting online. Not sure if that is your whole resume but more than likely it will be filtered through a web system set to look for key words, so...

  3. What's your favorite lip product for work?

    mazy replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    I just lost my favorite lipstick and I just bought it yesterday! It was Revlon in a very neutral/rosy color and really nice and glossy but not slick. I'm going to go out and buy anther one -- it's...

  4. LTC 3rd day- help

    mazy replied to brown127's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Sixty patients for one new nurse with only two CNAs is a catastrophe waiting to happen...and if State is calling the facility to speak to other nurses, without going through management, then that...

  5. Newer nurses with TOO much confidence?

    mazy replied to kidnurse98's topic in General Nursing

    If she's taking care of your patients who's taking care of her

  6. New grad? Here's what you can expect..

    mazy replied to sweetrvr's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel very bad for new grads coming out of school these days into a brutal job market, whatever their profession may be. Nursing, like any profession out there, is a field where you have to start at...

  7. another dilemma.. when do i ever learn???

    mazy replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A couple of things were pointed out that are on target: it was a system cluster**** for sure and is something that should be addressed within management to clarify protocols so such things don't...

  8. Dumb ? from a new nurse. What does "floating pool" mean?

    mazy replied to Irock's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I will sign up for the "I love to float" section; I started doing it as soon as I had put in six months in my first nursing job and loved it so much that I never looked back. At my current job they...

  9. Mean Nurses

    mazy replied to ttpurtee's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very good point, especially when looking at the ways men and women differ in their work/social interactions. Women are not really ever trained or socialized to be assertive; "niceness" is a...

  10. Students requesting help with HW and interviewing a nurse for HW purposes

    mazy replied to Black Jade's topic in General Nursing

    I thought I was the only one who had a problem with this. There's a lot to be said for having a real life conversation with a real life human being. You'll get your answers but you will also get a lot...

  11. I was reported by the social worker.........

    mazy replied to Vonique's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I used to have SW and PT and OT staff come to me all the time and complain that x nurse hadn't given the patient their meds. Don't know why they always complained to me... Anyway, I would say "did you...

  12. Don't know what to do.....

    mazy replied to wifeandmomoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    It's flu season and clinics are up and running. Also wellness clinics. You may be a little late in the game but usually around this time they've figured out that they've got more work than staff or...

  13. Help! School and work burn out, and I just started!

    mazy replied to magn1jes's topic in General Nursing

    Some good advice has been given here. You are definitely dealing with some huge stressors and you need to give yourself a break. it sounds like somewhere along the line you had so much going on that...

  14. New Grad with no experience feels like being discriminated

    mazy replied to strawberrypie's topic in General Nursing

    The saying that "I can't get a job without experience and I can't get experience without a job" has been the mantra of the newly graduated since back in the dark ages when I graduated from college....

  15. At least I hope this feeling is normal...

    mazy replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Absolutely normal what you're going through, if you were't worried then you probably wouldn't be a very good nurse. That nagging and fear you are experiencing will one day turn into a source of great...

  16. "size of the paycheck"

    mazy replied to agnesj23's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, in my state the only thing LPNs can't do is IV pushes, parenteral nutrition, blood transfusions and admission assessments -- although in SNFs and LTCs LPNs can do assessments as long as an RN...

  17. Frustrated at being new!

    mazy replied to Meg, RN's topic in General Nursing

    A missed laxative is not the end of the world, nor is a late laxative. You can't control the pharmacy...actually, it sounds like there was a lot going on that day that you couldn't control, so deep...

  18. Helpless Visitors

    mazy replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    I don't want to go completely off topic here, just mention that this post presents a very interesting example of why the use of terms such as 'customer" "client" and "consumer" in health care can lead...

  19. Part time work- what kind?

    mazy replied to edogs334's topic in General Nursing

    Flu shot clinics are starting to ramp up this time of year. Also some staffing agencies are contracting for health fair nurses and wellness clinics. Kind of a nice break from the world of inpatient...

  20. Should I take this position?

    mazy replied to luvmydogs84's topic in General Nursing

    The Dept of Public Health website will also have a full listing of all complaints and occurances for that facility and you can get a sense of all the issues and problems that are going on there. But...

  21. Should I take this position?

    mazy replied to luvmydogs84's topic in General Nursing

    Everything sounded absolutely amazingly wonderful until you mentioned the staffing ratios. Three weeks of orientation is fantastic for LTC...I got 3 days as a new LPN grad, the first day the unit...

  22. Why is it a crime...

    mazy replied to Getreal2011's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a crime to want money or security. But right now, and for the past couple of years, there hasn't been any job security in nursing, there are no jobs at all, and the next few years look pretty...

  23. language requirement

    mazy replied to kvdlr's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't know that there were so many jobs requiring people to speak a foreign language. I live in an area that has a large Spanish-speaking population and almost all the jobs I've seen only say...

  24. Why do we do this? Why do we allow it?

    mazy replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    One of the problems with those posts is that you can't be sure that the person answering the question really knows the answer, they could be wrong. I learned early on, from hard experience, that you...

  25. Unsure of what happened

    mazy replied to Tepidorchid's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Off the top of my head I can't think of a reason that the radiology staff would tell you what the doc can and cannot order. Maybe it has to do something with the way you are supposed to put the order...
