Wow.. I'm 3 yr post grad and feel like I dont remember anything!!!

Do not return list is just a list with their agency/hospital that you couldn't go back there. nothing legal!! Probably can't use them as a reference. Sounds more like she was threatening you, but what ever, just move on to the next job, I wouldn't b...

A little enjoyable??

I do woman's services and the occasional Med/Surge... They all seem a little mentally ill to me.

No, it is not a HIPPA violation. Unless you know that by asking your church to pray for a patient in your hospital, then going to describe her in detail with some knowledge that someone in the congregation knows her/or can guess who it is. For exa...

She can request a review. She has to be willing to go beyond the nurse manager in this case.

Go to the nursing school counselor, you may have to repeat some courses...

Don't think you are going to find any luck there. Thats pretty much the story everywhere....

If you do this job for the money then you will learn real fast that you don't get paid enough for the the stuff we do... But the real measure is not how much money she/he makes but whether or not they are willing to do it for free..... Yes I get pa...

Kept 2 body size posters on my wall in bedroom/ one of muscles/ one of bones. Learned one part each day. One day I learned the head, then torso, Left Arm then right arm, then hands, and so on. I just stood there talking to myself in my room every...

Oh that is so annoying! I have one for you, while going to nursing school I kept being compared to my cousin the "scientist" who went to "medical school" and how wonderful it must be to become a "scientist" at such a young age. She is a clinical lab...

So how did the restest go?

I gained during nursing school. lost a little during clinicals, but gained it back eating to stay awake finishing care plans all night. Working now... don't know yet... less time to eat thats for sure!

I think I love it when negative people say "I don't know why they do this to us..." I hear it all the time too. I just want to say HEY you don't likey??? You leavey!!! I just can't take it as well! I hear more complaining than people working! Ye...

What hospital will you be working at??? I work in the medical center and live in uptown. I am bout 20 minutes away but the traffic is bad. Crime is really high too, but to be honest with you it's high even in the 'burbs. Not sure what is going on...

Oh no.. that is not at all common!!!! We actually believe our lactation consultants are more like mafia mob bosses... it is all about that breast! We encourage breast feeding.

Well I won't say where I work but I know most of our patients are illegals. We don't ask that, we have social services speak to them about insurance and other resources. Sometimes we get a family whose parents are 20 with 6 kids.....

Don't work ER but I agree with having a reservoir on floor, or what about wall units? I know will units are not possible in busy ER (rows of beds, no rooms except for shock rooms). Is there a nurse to check off on tanks? Check them every 2 hours or...
