    klone replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    You've complained here multiple times about your job. And you're just NOW thinking about starting to look elsewhere? I agree that it's *** that you put in your request on 1/20, and did not get a...

    klone replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Um, no. She didn't demonstrate complete negligence? She reconstituted a medication IN THE BOTTLE, without first looking at the label. She bypassed MULTIPLE warning messages and safety mechanisms that...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    klone replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think she was addressing Medic Mike's statement that the only thing the hospital was guilty of was allowing Vec to be pulled through override (which I disagree with, because it is needed for RSI)....

    will two 0.5FTE in the same company have full time benefit?

    klone replied to treeye's topic in General Specialties

    Everyone is different, but at my organization, absolutely. We have one nurse who works a 0.2 in my department, and a 0.7 in another department. But she was hired as a 0.9 and that's what she is...

    Clinically Inexperienced Manager

    klone replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! A good manager can make herself helpful to her staff in other ways besides being charge nurse or taking a patient

    Night shift nurse

    klone replied to Guest26407's topic in General Nursing

    And if none of those things help, ask your PCP about a prescription for modafinil/Provigil. My thoughts are with you - night shift just about killed

    Clinically Inexperienced Manager

    Clinically Inexperienced Manager

    klone replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would also offer that hiring a manager who doesn't have the background to be able to take a patient assignment is a good way of preventing an otherwise great manager from burning out. My last job...

    Clinically Inexperienced Manager

    klone replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    So if that really is the expectation, why would they hire someone who is not trained to do so? That would be like hiring an ICU nurse to work in L&D and just throw her into the job without...

    Clinically Inexperienced Manager

    klone replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is not that the manager doesn't have an L&D background. The problem is that they are expected to take a floor assignment at times. That should NOT be the expectation of a nurse...

    Is ARNP worth it?

    klone replied to Sweetpea04's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not sure what ARNP stands for, but APRN is acronym I'm most familiar with (advanced practice RN). I guess it would depend on what "worth it" means to you. What about being an NP is appealing to...
