  1. Nurse Phobias?

    BeachBayNurse replied to pattycakeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Count me in for the eye phobia also, especially people with crossed or lazy eyes. I feel sooooo horrible, but I can't look at them when they speak. Also, passing gas. I can't stand to hear patients do...

  2. Will my feet/legs always feel this way?

    BeachBayNurse replied to cherokeesummer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds like a typical response, but if you are still having pain with croc like shoes, it is probably because of your weight. However, for the time being, try some real crocs . However, stay away...

  3. 6-Week VS. 18-Week New Grad RN Training

    BeachBayNurse replied to nurseJ88's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Speaking from personal experience, I would try to find nurses from both hospitals and see what training they actually recieved. Although option b may look better, what you see is not always what you...

  4. Bipolar SN is picky about shift, soon-to-be new grad can't work overnight

    BeachBayNurse replied to KaminoAcid's topic in General Nursing

    I would just flat out tell the manager that you have found night shift does not work for you. I would also very politely state that you could only take the position on the fact that you will never...

  5. why does the float always get jerked around

    BeachBayNurse replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

    I love having float nurses, brings a new perspective to the night! It blows my mind why someone would not take into mind that the nurse is not familiar to the unit and try to make it a little easier...

  6. "Customer service" and nursing

    BeachBayNurse replied to LilPeanut's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LilPeanut, just wondering, have you worked with adults lately? Although the families of the babies can be a whole different challenge, I often hear complaints from patients families, when they want...

  7. Know meds before you give them...how...

    BeachBayNurse replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    Always know what you are giving, you can't undo that IV push. As for saving time, before I pull the first patient's medications, I look through all the medications I will be giving that day for all...

  8. Does anyone else like working night shift besides me?

    BeachBayNurse replied to Joyfullme's topic in General Nursing

    I hate what night shift does to your body, I feel like I could fall asleep at any moment. However, I do not think I could deal with working day shift. It seems like when the clock hits 7, a mass of...

  9. AT ISSUE: What is the culture of your floor?

    BeachBayNurse replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if it is just me, but the attitude of the manager seems to really set the tone for the attitude of the staff towards teamwork. I had the displeasure of floating to a unit where I heard the...

  10. AT ISSUE: What is the culture of your floor?

    BeachBayNurse replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a great place! In my few years of nursing, I have never seen that type of attitude in an ICU

  11. Perfume Policy?

    BeachBayNurse replied to smileynurseohio's topic in General Nursing

    I do bring to work a light smelling body spray. After spending half an hour in the room with a smoker, or cleaning a room after a code brown, I would rather smell like Bath & Body Works than the...

  12. things you wish you could tell the doctor

    BeachBayNurse replied to celery's topic in General Nursing

    When you call in for a consult, don't bite my head off if I have to go grab the chart to see the reason, I just got here and I have five other patients. I understand english is not your first...

  13. U.S. Nursing Salary CHANGES?!

    BeachBayNurse replied to Future-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    A $10 drop in wages would never fly. Because of the makeup of the average nurse (married, having children, working three days a week), it seems that there is such a turn over in the work force. On my...

  14. Am I, as a nursing student, part of the problem?

    BeachBayNurse replied to marie-francoise's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to say this cliche but: when you become a nurse, you will understand. There is NO real nursing shortage, NO shortage of good nurses. There is a shortage of good nurses that are willing to work...

  15. Nurses salary vrs teacher's salary

    BeachBayNurse replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way you would ever see me in a classroom, unless I was making six digits. Teachers are expected to take disrespect from students and their parents, buy their own supplies, stay after to do...

  16. Drinks in the nurses station...

    BeachBayNurse replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    That is absolutely ridiculous that you are not be allowed to have a drink at the station. I run around enough at work, I am not going to also run into the break room and gulp down a drink! If you can...

  17. Aides and Nurses - Different Outlook, Lack of Understanding

    BeachBayNurse replied to Weeping Willow's topic in General Nursing

    I think both sides feel frustrated because we both have one thing in common: we are both way too overstretched, way too often. However, the one thing I cannot stand is when the CNA, secretary or...

  18. Nurses children and vaccinations, how do you feel?

    BeachBayNurse replied to Mistify's topic in General Nursing

    When I hear a patient or friend tell me that they did not not vaccinate their children, I groan silently, I know that the rationale they will not spare me from will be ill concieved. Of course junior...

  19. Do you enjoy nursing?

    BeachBayNurse replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    6. I am blessed to work with mostly great people that never hesitate to help when you are swamped with work and also fortunate that we are not often swamped. However, I could live without the...

  20. Why do you think so many healthcare workers are mean and arrogant?

    BeachBayNurse replied to mikethern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In certain professions, it may be easier to develop an arrogant attitude as opposed to others. Of course, some people have been mean and arrogant since the day they were born. However, I even thought...

  21. Lack of Care with my Child

    BeachBayNurse replied to alotascruggs's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with babynurselsa. All of the mess pertaining to the wet bed and feeding tube could of happened in less than five minutes. Perhaps, it might have been good to call the nurse right then...

  22. How would you feel?

    BeachBayNurse replied to bellcollector's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely would not mind cameras at work if they were for the greater good (catching a suspected drug diverter, suspected abuse). However, it would infuriate me to discover cameras were up to catch...

  23. What would you do?

    BeachBayNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    What do you do when you get a real jerk of a patient, but the charge nurse that shift insists that as a nurse it is your job to do some *** kissing? I have no problem going above and beyond for the...

  24. I am giving up

    BeachBayNurse replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    I applaud you for knowing when to say when and leave a place that does not appreciate you. That is your license you are working with each day, and you need to feel that your co-workers and management...

  25. How do u fell about a alcoholic receiving a liver transplant??

    BeachBayNurse replied to EmileeMc's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Situations such as transplants force us to make decisions that only God should be allowed to. However, I have seen personally many people given a second chance at life because of a transplant. I...
