  1. protecting the rock!

    txRN07 replied to GeauxNursing's topic in General Nursing

    I know you don't want to ever take that ring off, but do it anyway. It is too special to get all gunky so soon, after awhile there will be a lot of wear and tear on that ring. I leave mine at home...

  2. Smoking And Nurses

    txRN07 replied to ABC054's topic in General Nursing

    jojotoo makes an excellent point, you can't please everyone. At my work there are nurses whose perfume is strong, and others whom you can tell they just stepped out to smoke, and yet others who are...

  3. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    txRN07 replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    I sure hope any woman, not just nurses, wants to marry a man whom they love, and they are compatible with. It sickens me to think that someone would marry solely because the person is a doctor. I...

  4. The next shift nurse

    txRN07 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone else had this happen? Quite a few times now, when it is approaching the end of my shift and I am closing out charts, a new admit will come up right as I am giving report to the next nurse....

  5. The next shift nurse

    txRN07 replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all of the responses, I really appreciate

  6. Racism in Nursing

    txRN07 replied to lpnnursingstudent33's topic in General Nursing

    Also, I have to say that my boss is African American, and that woman knows how to run a floor better than a lot of other unit managers I've seen. No one looks at her and sees her skin color, they see...

  7. Racism in Nursing

    txRN07 replied to lpnnursingstudent33's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious, has any of these Caucasian nurses ever said that the reason they make you feel inferior is because of your race, or is it maybe that they are licensed nurses and they feel that they...

  8. What makes you nervous about or irritated with a new grad or orientee?

    txRN07 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    After reading all of these useful posts, I am glad now that I asked so many questions when I was orienting. I always felt stupid for asking, and then coming back and asking about something else until...

  9. Is overtime safe for your patients?

    txRN07 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering what everyone's opinion is about the floating rumors I'm sure we've all been hearing about laws being passed restricting how many hours a nurse can work in one day. My boss schedules...

  10. Is overtime safe for your patients?

    txRN07 replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, except that enough staff is hired, but there are a lot of call ins, especially on the weekends. Our facility is brainstorming on how to minimize frequent call ins from people who call in...

  11. Is overtime safe for your patients?

    txRN07 replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    I was also curious, do any of you have the staffing person come up on the floor and ask you to stay for a double shift, and then they don't take no for an answer? My husband is a cop, and he goes to...

  12. Other nurses taking over your patients without asking?

    txRN07 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone experienced this? I am a newly licensed RN since June, and I have been off orientation for many months now, I have not gotten into any trouble, I am assigned to 6-7 patients per day, and...

  13. Other nurses taking over your patients without asking?

    txRN07 replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    Well let's see, we'll have a patient that has been on a nasal cannula all the way up to 6 liters, and have been keeping sats over 95%, and so many times the sats go down out of nowhere, and they need...

  14. Other nurses taking over your patients without asking?

    txRN07 replied to txRN07's topic in General Nursing

    I apologize for not being more clear. The 4 times that I am talking about were situations in which a patients SaO2 started decreasing fast, they were on their way to coding, but stopped

  15. My First Write Up

    txRN07 replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new nurse too, and I know how that feels, but let me tell you, if you ask some of your coworkers how it went for them when they were new I guarantee you will hear some whoppers, if they are...

  16. Tired of painful legs..compression socks??

    txRN07 replied to MA Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I wear the compression socks, and they make a huge difference. Your legs will still hurt by the end of the day, but you will be able to go longer without feeling it. I highly recommend them, they...

  17. I'm Not Sure Nursing Is For Me

    txRN07 replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Nursing

    I'll tell you what I tell every person who asked me about becoming a nurse. You have to love it, because that love for the profession is what will get you through all of the politics, long hours,...

  18. So why certify in chemotherapy

    txRN07 replied to Johnny Moo Man's topic in General Nursing

    As a newly licensed RN on an oncology unit, I am very excited to get certified and frustrated that the hospital is not currently offering classes. I can understand your frustration though. We do...

  19. I have a huge problem with this... opinions please

    txRN07 replied to dawn30's topic in General Nursing

    You know, I have had my RN license for 5 months now and I repeatedly see all of these seasoned nurses ignoring call lights, and simply going on break when a patient is requesting something for pain....
