  3. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    What is it that what I am saying lacks validity? I am giving a student's perspective. But I guess the opinions of a student do not

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    So when I practice I will be mean and nasty to anyone with less experience than myself? They forgot to teach us that in

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    Kids r fun...Maybe YOU need to get over it. I'm fine. If I justify my statements it is because I feel they are misunderstood. Take a chill

  7. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    Like I said ,the impression I get from Mattsmom's posts is that she is not particularly receptive to students or newcomers. I reacted to the way the post made me feel just as you reacted to the way my...

  8. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    I actually agree with you about the checklist thing. I mean if inserting a foley is on my checklist and I check it off, I wouldn't refuse to do it again just because I checked it off. How else will...

  9. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with that though, Fab. There is a difference between constructive criticism and the pirannah-like behavior exhibited by some nurses who simply are not receptive to students. I welcome...

  10. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    The preceptors in the hospital where I work get paid extra. And they should be. I don't think anyone disagrees with that. If someone doesn't feel comfortable precepting somone, however, they should...

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, you were the one complaining about the students coming from these programs, not me. I was just agreeing with

  12. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't believe I was resorting to insults. I wasn't the one complaining about the nursing students that come to your hospital.. Also, my school is hospital based. That is, the hospital in which I do...

  13. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the nursing programs in your area are inferior,Fab. I can only speak for my own program. We fill out our own check lists and come up with our own nursing diagnoses. I guess that would annoy me...

  14. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    Hoolahan....how is that nervy? I have read many posts on this issue by Mattsmom and the impression she puts forth is that she is less than accomadating to newcomers and students. Not everyone is a...

    llg...I like the way you

  16. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    As far as starting IV's are concerned, we do a rotation with the IV therapy nurse, as that is their specialty. It works out better that way. I guess every school is different and some are better than...

  17. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the phrase of nurses "eating their young" wouldn't be heard so often if there wasn't an element of truth to it. The object is to attract more people to the profession, not drive them away from...

  18. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    Remember guys...not only is there a shortage of nurses, there is also a shortage of instructors. They do their best but they cannot do it all. I always remember the nurses, not matter how overworked...

  19. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    Flo1216 replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    Mattsmom-I hope I never have you as a preceptor, no offense. I have never once heard you say a positive thing about students or new nurses. In general, I have noticed that the people who refuse to be...

  20. new grads that don'y ask questions

    Flo1216 replied to altomga's topic in General Nursing

    No one will have to worry about me asking questions. However, some people view this as a sign of weakness and use it against you, as though you are incompetent. For example, I am doing my clinical...

    I just got finished my ICU/CCU rotation and I would not be comfortable with 6 weeks orientation....I was blown away by all the

  22. new grad icu orientations 6-8 wks- safe?

    Flo1216 replied to scrubs12's topic in General Nursing

    Our orientation is 6 mos for ICU and 3 mos for ER. I don't think our new grads have killed anyone yet... Of course the new grads aren't given then most critical pts either and they aren't just thrown...

  23. Nursing Salary Facts - You need to know!

    Flo1216 replied to km rn's topic in General Nursing

    Our new grads start out at $22.50. If you start out in a specialty area, once you get certified in ACLS and everything and if you work evenings and get the shift differential, it goes up to $28.50. I...

  24. Do you wear gloves

    Flo1216 replied to mellow's topic in General Nursing

    I am a petite person and have very small hands and very few floors carry small gloves. The gloves are way too big for me and when I am doing a dressing, I often times have to remove my gloves because...

  25. opening up nursing the profession to spanish speakers?

    Flo1216 replied to brown rice's topic in General Nursing

    And while I am on the subject...I work in a predominately hispanic community and a large number of my patients speak ONLY Spanish. It can get extremely frustrating, especially in places like the ER,...
