  1. Am I crazy to leave my desk job?

    2banurse replied to Wren's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Of course you are nervous about changing direction, but that is just normal. Don't put the age thing into play. As you have seen on this BB, there are people starting nursing at all different ages...

  2. DNR'ed from hospital

    2banurse replied to danvet's topic in Agency Nurses

    You mean to tell us that after 16.5 hours, you were going home? Only being in the beginning of my nursing educaton, I can't give any advice. I can only say that by reading about your experience, if...

  3. does research support cross-training?

    2banurse replied to Buggs's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow! That does sound chaotic. I would think that your suggestion of a core staff for each area and a float team is a good idea. This gives both, the nurses the option of cross training if they...

  4. scared of moving on....

    2banurse replied to Pamelita's topic in General Nursing

    You ask why you should feel so scared...how about the fact that you are being stretched beyond normal standards and because you care so much about your patients, you know that you won't be able to...

  5. advanced maternal age

    2banurse replied to Liann's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Since this came up, how often do you see moms, particularly new moms who are 40+ years.

  6. Thru program w/ children

    2banurse replied to Rhon1991's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not being a mother, I cannot truly advise either way. My concern would be that if I were able to have a child, I would chose to stay with him/her ONLY because those early years come and go in a blink...

  7. Do most pass NCLEX the first time?

    2banurse replied to mom2rosebudbaby's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, now the question I have is if you get a job as a GN with the understanding the you have your NCLEX scheduled, what happens if you fail the test...will they let you schedule the test again,...

  8. Nursing Salary Facts - You need to know!

    2banurse replied to km rn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, in Florida...both teachers AND nurses are making horrible wages. There is not that much difference, and that scares me about the future of all!

  9. CCRN? Help!!!!!

    2banurse replied to Maula, RN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I feel that this has more to do with how hospitals want to look than caring that their patients are well cared for. Mattsmom and Ssaun are giving you great advice, heed them and in a few years, I'm...

  10. Mentorship programs in hospitals

    2banurse replied to lee1's topic in General Nursing

    Using administrators and NMs as mentors? I would figure that the best mentor would be one of the more experienced nurses on the staff WHO WANT TO BE MENTORS! I think that they would be the best...

  11. Admirable qualities

    2banurse replied to ohbet's topic in General Nursing

    Colleen, I'm like you and only a nursing student, but I DEFINITELY feel that team work comes into play. I will have no problem doing my share PLUS what needs to be done. It is amazing how much...

  12. RNs demand union action against their own "homegrown" scabs

    2banurse replied to -jt's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As a former NYer, a possibly a future NTer when I finish with nursing school, I really appeciate -jt's informative posts. The NYSNA seems to be a union that is really working for better conditions...

  13. nursing math

    2banurse replied to shelby88669's topic in General Students

    Thanks Andi2634! Although I have until the Fall, hearing of all the struggles related to pharmacology, I want to be as prepared as possible.

  14. Horrible experience

    2banurse replied to Tia's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I can only echo London88's response. I have found that when I had an interview with such negative energy around it, it was a good indication of what kind of place it would be to work in. Remember,...

  15. Doctor's office vs. hospital

    2banurse replied to tsgarman's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Thanks Jill, I appreciate that. In the future, I have actually the same goals - office nurse and office manager. I've had the opportunity to work as an office manager in the past after being a...

  16. Doctor's office vs. hospital

    2banurse replied to tsgarman's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I wanted to revive this to see how the situation is 2+ years later. Although I have quite a while to go, I'm finding myself attracted to this area of nursing. So all of you nurses that are currently...

  17. Student Nurses in ICU for clinical

    2banurse replied to New CCU RN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I would have to totally agree with Mark. As you will be held responsible, I would make sure that I get all the I's dotted and T's crossed before I would just let a nursing student become involved...

  18. *Poem* An Old Woman . . . .(have tissues ready) this ::made me cry.

    2banurse replied to tattooednursie's topic in Nursing Humor

    Very nice Mandi...I think that at times we (everyone in general) forget that our senior citizens were very much like we are now and have gone though many of the same things we are getting through....

  19. Is Microbiology really that scary

    2banurse replied to bet0326's topic in General Students

    I guess it all depends on the instructors who teach it. In my college, I've heard good things about it. Question though...you state that you will start school in four weeks, have you already taken...

  20. Ever leave work crying?

    2banurse replied to New CCU RN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    You mention that if a different nurse were taken care of the patient it would have been better...I don't believe so. It sounds like you did everything you could and it was the INTERN which should...

  21. What Freaks You Out?

    2banurse replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    This is definitely my biggest fear. I can't even watch movies (hands over my eyes and ears too if possible) where there is vomitting. I do like this topic though, it makes me realize that there are...

  22. Strike Nurses?

    2banurse replied to Rudegal2020's topic in General Nursing

    How would the nurses on this site feel if a fellow nurse crossed the picket line? Knowing how hard it is for nurses to get fair treatment in some hospitals, I would feel

  23. Strike Nurses?

    2banurse replied to Rudegal2020's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure there are some, and they are probably well compensated. For myself, however, I would not cross a picket line no matter how

  24. How have you dealt with language barriers?

    2banurse replied to mattsmom81's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi Mattsmom, Living in FLA, we have a large Hispanic population, many of whom have difficulties with the English language. The technical school that teaches the CNA and LPN requires taking an...

  25. PICU Nurses

    2banurse replied to biscuit_007's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    I have quite a while to go, but I think this is an area that I would like to further explore. So please keep sharing your experiences! Thank
