1. Nursing for Intimate care for men

   Satori77 replied to RNMikeMiller's topic in General Nursing

   I find this thread interesting to say the least. Do I believe male patients deserve modesty? Of course I do. I've had many male patients who seemed embarrassed when I had to perform an intimate task,...

2. Who Did NOT Do a Year of Med Surg?

   Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

   I'm in Colorado, not California. But for me personally, it is a little bit of both. Even if I only had 2 patients, I know I am not a med surg nurse. Its not the specialty I want to end up in. But I do...

3. Who Did NOT Do a Year of Med Surg?

   Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

   Update: I tried sticking it out for the year. But there have been some major changes lately where I work. Census has been low. Like we have had to close down an entire hall for over a month now. Med...

4. New grad positions in northern colorado-- when will Banner post them?

   Satori77 replied to torton22's topic in Colorado Nursing

   I would definitely apply. I got one of those positions with only 6 months working as a nurse in a LTC. And I had classmates that got a position right out of school. I can't say you will definitely be...

5. Not adjusting to night shift

   Satori77 replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

   I started on nights end of March. So it hasn't quite been 2 months. I am a night person and thought the adjustment wouldn't be too bad. Maybe I just haven't given it enough time, but I'm not adjusting...

   Satori77 replied to torton22's topic in Colorado Nursing

   I work for a Banner facility in Loveland CO. I graduated a year ago. My classmates and I just applied to positions. I only saw one that specifically stated New Grad. They will hire new grads for...

9. Who Did NOT Do a Year of Med Surg?

   Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

   That's incredible. NICUs around here will not hire you without experience. Some require 6 months of NICU experience, which is frustrating, because how can I get experience if I can't get hired...

11. Who Did NOT Do a Year of Med Surg?

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    No, its definitely not like that. I do think there are nights when I have an unsafe load (I think many nurses feel that way), but I wouldn't say my license is on the

12. 12 hr night nurses-how many recovery days?

    Satori77 replied to RatherBHiking's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer to work 3 in a row and have 4-5 days off. The first day off (when I'm getting off my 3rd night) I will sleep all day long. The 2nd day I am still pretty tired. I don't think it would be so...

    I started on nights over a month ago. I thought it would be the perfect fit for our family. I would work nights and be home during the day if our kids needed anything, and he would be with them at...

    Satori77 replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Nursing

    Had a patient with dementia and a UTI getting increasingly confused through the night. All his meds were PO and he would pocket on them or start choking. He was on O2 and kept pulling it off, and he...
