    I Have No Words

    caliotter3 replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty cowardly to express her displeasure with you through snide comments to third parties. Not professional or

    What can I do with my MSN-FNP that doesn't require much patient contact

    caliotter3 replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Please take a good three weeks to a month vacation when you graduate. It will be easier to approach your future decisions with a rested mind, spirit, and

    Night nurse - noise cancelling headphones to sleep with

    caliotter3 replied to rumikodan's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    All the noise masking/cancelling efforts in the world will do no good when your upstairs neighbor deliberately drops what sounds to be a bowling ball onto your ceiling whenever he thinks you have...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    caliotter3 replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with this response. And your response to my sympathetic previous post tells me that you are not quite devoid of a negative approach to this entire situation. I expressed no criticism in that...

    I feel so alone

    caliotter3 replied to guest1141431's topic in General Students

    One way to break the ice is to turn to your classmate, give your name and number on a slip of paper and ask for theirs in return so you can rely on each other for info and notes should one of you miss...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    caliotter3 replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    For OP's sake, I think it is too bad that this sort of lesson could not have been learned at a Mickey D type of job when she was only 17, instead of what happened. Hope that you can get it together...

    Terminated the third week into my orientation

    caliotter3 replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this situation is very pleasing to anybody concerned and certainly feel sorry for the OP. Grandson, as I recall, was very late for first day on his first decent job. I about had a cow....

    Question about proventil and Duoneb breathing treatment for nebulizer?

    caliotter3 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes med orders that are not quite clear and making sense in context with other orders are that way because the orders were written at different times by different providers. Provider 2 may not...

    Why is narcotic missing on my cart again

    caliotter3 replied to Buckie's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Whether lost or stolen, accidentally or deliberately, of course you are the goat. Do you think the other nurses liked it when I demanded to have the book turned in my direction so I could observe...

    question about liklihood of being waitlisted for ADN program

    caliotter3 replied to Mikeycperez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anecdotally, C grades do not seem to cut it with nursing school admission in this day and age. You will probably be told this when you talk to a nursing advisor at Elgin Community College or any...

    Dilemma- my job or my boyfriend?

    caliotter3 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I was also thinking this. Firefighting is not your usual adaptable occupation. A relative quit, literally, quit, while he was still in training, when he found out that he just plain did not want to...

    Dilemma- my job or my boyfriend?

    caliotter3 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    You can’t find a place to rent that is somewhere in the middle? People commute by car longer than 2.5 hours and make it

    Pulse oximetry accuracy

    caliotter3 replied to LilyRN99's topic in Pulmonary

    You will need to speak to your nursing supervisor as to why one would not chart something that is not ordered. Even so, you can't chart using your personal device. Get your supervisor to clarify...

    Pt's wife just snapped at me

    caliotter3 replied to Orion81RN's topic in Private Duty

    After the second or third time that a family complained about me doing or not doing something they had expressly told me to do or not do with their blessing, I learned to stay out of their living...

    Pulse oximetry accuracy

    caliotter3 replied to LilyRN99's topic in Pulmonary

    I work in extended care home hlth and will use my personal pulse oximeter when it suits me. Mgmt on more than one occasion, from different agencies, has stated if pulse oximetry is ordered on the care...

    caliotter3 replied to Cali_RN18's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to address the new nurse that you have concerns about leaving, due to the problem nurse's influence. Approach her and give her a short input on how well she is doing in addition to a very...

    I'm a nurse and I don't like people.

    caliotter3 replied to addylpn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey, get night shift cases where the parents give you access to entry and are in bed when you get there, perhaps you report off to a nurse in the morning, or perhaps you report off to the parents, or...

    Pt is always asking for me to buy her things?

    caliotter3 replied to mzsuccess's topic in Home Health

    But the thing is, they DO have the power over you to get rid of you at any time or on any whim. When you forget to always keep their power over your livelihood foremost in your mind, then you have...

    Forced to Relocate: California Nursing Job needed ASAP!

    caliotter3 replied to mibnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Look at UCLA’s job listings, they exist. Check out indeed dot com also and the other employment web sites. And if push comes to shove and you don’t have a good job offer when you move, during...

    Need advice/feedback on response I got from job interview

    caliotter3 replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

    Let the process proceed. Your worry won’t help anything. Instead put some effort into what your next move will be if not selected for this position. Good

    Need advise regarding uncomfortable, disrespectful situation

    caliotter3 replied to Maria Crocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    My daughter, who works in hospital management positions, and listens to my complaints, told me more than once that when I am unhappy with things to speak my peace on the survey form. I find it very...

    Should I resign, or wait it out?

    caliotter3 replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    This is an excellent example of what I have been commenting for years about this subject. I will add: an employment attorney told me that anything a former employer states is taken to be factual...

    Need Advice with Encouraging Staff to Precept New Hires!

    caliotter3 replied to That Nurse86's topic in Nurse Management

    One big detractor I witnessed in more than one facility where I worked in the past, is that some facilities boil down to an employee population that is very, very homogenous, for whatever reason, over...
