  1. A happy rant about my nursing coworkers :)

    JenRN30 replied to KSU-SN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That's great KSU. I'm 6 months in and having the same great experience as you. My coworkers are wonderful and supportive, just as you have described. I guess all nurses don't eat their young

  2. Did you always know you wanted to be a nurse?

    JenRN30 replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    To answer your question, I was a bit like you. I never really knew what I wanted to do and bounced around a lot of ideas. When I was 23, I decided I needed to decide on something, and nursing...

  3. Telementry on med/surg floor

    JenRN30 replied to regularRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, my floor actually monitors our own, as well as 3 other floors. If there is a problem on the monitor, the tech will call down to the floor to monitor the nurse. I personally would want to be...

  8. What hours do you work?

    JenRN30 replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    Anurse, Where do you live? I think you probably need to move to find a job if it's that bad in your area. I did it, and so did a few of my classmates. You have to do what it takes to find...

  9. What hours do you work?

    JenRN30 replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    I work Fri, Sat, and Sun nights from 6:30pm - 7am. We have 8 and 12 hour shifts on our floor, and are unbelievably short staffed, so people get to work pretty much whenever they want

  10. How do I survive a crazy schedule, with kid, husband who works even crazier schedule?

    JenRN30 replied to BCRN1984's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am in the exact same situation. My husband is a regional sales manager and travels most weeks. We have a 3 yr old and a 1 year old. He schedules his own travel, but there are many weeks when he...

  11. Was Anyone Pregnant During Nursing School??

    JenRN30 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

    I had my second baby at the beginning of my last semester of an accelerated BSN. Back to school 4 days later. Definitely tough. Don't know if I would've been able to do that with my first baby....

  12. Any New Grads working Per Diem?

    JenRN30 replied to hopeful81's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was hired on as full time, but asked my manager to switch to per diem at about six months. Can't wait to begin scheduling

  13. Most ridiculous patient requests?

    JenRN30 replied to AOx1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it's totally warranted not to want to leave her 4 month old baby alone in an odd place. Whether or not the nurse has time to sit with the pt is another

  14. Most ridiculous patient requests?

    JenRN30 replied to AOx1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a pt who's family member was very involved in her care. She called to check on the pt numerous times throughout each evening and into the early morning, and I assume during the day as well....

  15. nursing programs in washington state!

    JenRN30 replied to angieee's topic in Washington Nursing

    I know Washington State University at Spokane has a BSN program. Spokane Community College has an RN program. Do a quick search and I'm sure you will find more programs. I also know that some of the...

  16. Bored on night shift- should I ask for transfer?

    JenRN30 replied to Happyday1's topic in Nursing Career

    You can always ask your manager if you could precept for awhile on days, so that you can see more procedures, deal with docs, RT, PT, OT, case workers, etc. The only way it may be a problem is if...

  17. Vent Session

    JenRN30 replied to Lorien_LPN's topic in Cardiac

    Was any action taken against these nurses? Especially the first one? This is so bad...scary for the patients on that

  18. Is this too much or am I crazy...what are your units like?

    JenRN30 replied to emersushea's topic in Cardiac

    "what kind of floor has no coffee on the floor? us! we have to go to the vending machine on a different floor and buy it ourselves." This is crap, I'd be so

  19. Concerns about getting hired as a new Jacksonville, FL grad

    JenRN30 replied to eyjohn89's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Some people might disagree, but I would say NO, it's not a bad thing if that's what gets you the

  20. Why are so many nurses so bad these days?

    JenRN30 replied to ghillbert's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, sorry that this happened to you and your mom. I think there are a variety of reasons why there are some really bad nurses. It could be because, as multicolinearity said above, ethics in...

  21. Single mom wanting to do nursing!!

    JenRN30 replied to mommy2babyb's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you could get into OR, those nurses at my hospital work 6:30am - 3pm Monday through Friday. They love it because they get off in time to get their kids from school. If you could just find someone...

  22. Texas license wanting to move to oklahoma

    JenRN30 replied to jewels109's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    You can also apply to the Oklahoma BON for your Oklahoma license instead of getting your Texas license, if you're sure that you are going to move here. You can even take the NCLEX in Texas for your...

  23. RN New Grad

    JenRN30 replied to kjack0799's topic in General Nursing

    Are you moving to the Atlanta area? I had to move away because I couldn't find a job (graduated Dec. 09). However, most of my classmates eventually found jobs with some persistence. Have you seen...

    JenRN30 replied to spalata's topic in General Nursing

  25. helping pts after del

    JenRN30 replied to jctiabecerra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Um, no it's not you. Not a postpartum nurse, but when you push a watermelon out of your whooha, it takes a few days to walk normally again. Do they even act like this after an epidural or c-section?...
