    Local hospital now says "BSN or MSN preferred" for all bedside positions?!

    Tait replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have my MSN-Ed and I am returning to the bedside. While I plan to move on to new graduate education, my expertise will be beneficial to not only my patients, but to my floor as well. Now I won't...

    Sexism in nursing

    Tait replied to RNGuy12's topic in Men in Nursing

    No matter your gender, being a minority (male in a female dominated workplace), or station in life, NO ONE deserves to be made uncomfortable at work. Report the secretary and call out the others....

    Have you blanked in an interview??

    Tait replied to ProudMom511's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I haven't blanked on a knowledge question, but I did completely lock up in an educator interview with HR last year. She asked me what parts of my MSN were specific to teaching people. Because our...

    MSN, Bedside, and The Babies

    Tait replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Thank Hou! Now one area I am particularly interested in when it comes to NGs is debriefing, PTSD, and mentoring. I would love to get a PhD in counseling and then go on to be a hospital based RN...

    MSN, Bedside, and The Babies

    Tait posted a topic in General Nursing

    So for the past three years I have been busy. I completed my RN to MSN-Ed and had two children. I decided to put school and family together, and remove work for now. Of course this lapse is now biting...

    Question for night-shift and/or weekend nurses

    Tait replied to bloodorange's topic in General Nursing

    When I was on nights a few years back our NM came in around 6:30 to check in with us, so I felt very connected to her. My joke however was that I didn't know who the CNO was until around year

    Clinical Experience on an Experienced RN Resume?

    Tait replied to surgrn1980's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with everything HouTX said, and in addition when I breezed the post I thought you had worked all those different JOBS, which looked flaky to me. Trust me HR breezes just as fast, in fact...

    Do you think the CDC is biased?

    Tait posted a topic in Patient Education

    I almost got myself embroiled in an argument over the possible risks of flu shot and pregnancy this afternoon. (Luckily I decided it wasn't worth the time and bowed out.) Anyway I was informed that...

    Weird Slim Jim/Murse Commercial

    Tait replied to elprup's topic in General Nursing

    However it is propagating a lot of male stereotypes. That somehow those men aren't being men

    Weird Slim Jim/Murse Commercial

    Tait replied to elprup's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I thought it was kinda funny. The "murse" thing was unnecessary in my opinion. They could have left that out and not sacrificed anything in the way of

    Night shift dinner time

    Tait replied to kantuta's topic in General Nursing

    I always had cheese, those goofy applesauce packets kids eat (easy to eat and chart!), Special K protein drink in the morning keep me out of McDonald's, a Lean Cuisine for dinner, sometimes salad, and...

    Would you take the higher or lower stress job?

    Tait replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

    The laser clinic sounds mind-numbingly boring to me. However, I just think about my practicum rotation in a neuro clinic where I sat and read magazines more than I had patient

    What Should We Call Nursing?

    Tait posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    This has probably been posted somewhere, but it's the first time I have seen it! Hilarious and reminds us we all deal with similar issues :)

    Electronic charting vs. Hourly Rounding vs. Bedside Charting

    Tait replied to AngeliqueR's topic in General Nursing

    Less opportunity for errors and incongruence in charting if you write it down while it is fresh. Also getting it done right away means more time for other tasks and less time staying after to

    The way we ask for someone's pain level?

    Tait replied to cmav8's topic in General Nursing

    In the hospital is the last place I would want someone to be unclear with me. If I want to know if my patient is having pain, then I ask them if they are having pain and then use the appropriate pain...

    what career is the hardest to work in?

    Tait replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    Can a nurse refuse to participate in a code?

    Tait replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    For me I would try to advocate for the patient before the situation came to a code. If I had done my best to change a status for the patient, I would then participate in the code. That is my...

    Support Group for Nurses

    Tait replied to firefly443's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Stress in nursing and the idea of support groups is near and dear to my heart, but I too have felt resistance in my workplace to the idea of creating one. During my MSN studies I spent a lot of time...

    What do (did) you do during the gap between graduation and your first job

    Tait replied to sourapril's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The restaurant I was working at closed so my now husband paid my rent and I waited the month for my GN job to kick in. Oh then I took the
