I agree

Thank you.

no he didn't, he did tranfer her to the icu.

I was new grad 4 months on the floor, the doctor put order for me to insert ng tube for a woman with esophageal varices vomiting blood. I told the doctor that I won't execute your order it is unsafe, he was mad. glad I refused.

thank you, that's my point. A lot of businessmen don't agree with Obama policies but they don't use scare tactics on their clients.

Doctors are throwing tantrums now.

To the OP. I admire you for your courage that many of us lack. many of us feel stuck in that profession that is supposed to noble but it become the crappiest profession by its administration. understaffed, unappreciated,and underpaid for the job we do, we cannot leave because we are afraid of loosing that paycheck. And to get of bedside nursing is not easy, every position is already filled and they need experience. Good luck JennJen512, just remember when one door is close so many windows will open up.

High patient satisfaction rating --------> Nurse should work like a dog and treated like a dog

hello all, can anyone help me with answering these questions. i really appreciated. Anyone finished rn to bsn and applied for NP program ? do you have any problem transferring your classes?. Is WGU recognized by hospitals in Illinois ?. I'm interested to this program due to the cost as I'm unemployed RN and hospitals in Illinois won't hire a nurse without BSN. thanks in advance.

can someone tell me how much the total cost for rn to bsn in chamberlain university. I had my ADN from truman college. any answer is very appreciated

sorry to hear this, you are not alone. after just 3 years of nursing, I quitted my hospital job just 1 week ago. God I feel so relieved and I'm taking a break now. After that I will look for another job other than bedside nursing. I know that I should wait until I recure another job and the market is tight , but I think life is too short and my health is precious to me and my family. This is not a nursing that I love. We should give it another name other than nursing. I'm tired of other NURSES in management not supporting bedside nurses, just looking after themselves and their bonuses, I'm tired of patients and family who became ungratful and abusive to us because the cafeteria forget their coffee or the doctor refuse to renew their morphine. I m tired of to have 3 to 4 ICU like patients in addition to my other 3 patients, plus admission and discharge. I'm tired to do nursing job, cna job (CNA also overwelmed or some CNA just disappear) . I can't say that "I'm busy" I should say "OK,will do" with a smile. Everybody from other department say that we work very hard, did someone spoke for us (ie Doctors). the smallest mistake will do, we will get trown under the bus and every body forget other accomplishments. I wish Bedside nurses could unit and fight hospital cooporations for their right and the right of their patients. I'm so to rant but I'm one of the nurses who trown the towel and freed themselves from the "Slavery of 21st Century". To the OP, big hug :hug:

Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, women during their menstrution ,postpartum women are exempt from fasting during Ramadan. Some women fast while they are pregnant or breasfeeding. I think nobody fast during postpartum and menstruation. good luck to you.

Good for you Zofran, I hope there be more nurses to do the same "Take this job and shove it", even in this economy. May be employers will think twice before messing with us. good luck with your future endeavors.

That ridicullous, no nursing shortage in Chicago. A lot of my classmate still looking for job, I was hired in crappy hospital after 5 months on intensive job hunting. Tonight, I supposed to be working, but they cancelled me off. May be the President should read in allnurses.com forum, for reality check.

Run for your life, nursing now is not what you read in the books. I feel stupid that I choose nursing. I warned you :hlk:
