    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Lulupalooza's topic in General Nursing

    Sure the doc. is incomplete, but not by you!! If your shift began at 7:30, where was the nurses documentation from the previous shift (I'm assuming your CNAs don't write note). How can you possibly...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    I asked this question on the last job interview I had. The HR guy said they use the same 'background check' company for everyone- regardless of what they are applying for. If you are applting for a...

    Sun exposure during pregnancy

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Funny you mention the cholasma thing, because as she is looking extra dark these days, she is trying to convince us that it is probably due to the hormones. Problem is, I don't think she finds it...

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in Ob/Gyn

    wow, i'm so sorry . your story should be a lesson to everyone, young or old, pregnant or not. but how do you convince someone that they are endangering themselves? i think it's different than...

    Question for Educators/Program Directors

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to RNPATL's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Pat, I attend the MSN program at the same school I received my BSN from. I tried to escape it (as it is a costly school), and tried a state school for a semester, but I found myself drawn back (I had...

    Self-Scheduling

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    We self schedule: we pencil in the days we want, put 'R's where we cannot work (not really sure how many requests we can put in). There are 2 Captains per schedule per shift, who are supposed to...

    Generation gap and attitudes towards work - hurting patients?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to pebbles's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow!! I think I am offended by that! I'm not taking it as a personal attack, but I am classified as 'under 35', (and will be for the next four years), but have been a nurse for 11 years. I didn't...

    refresher course or dual degree program for older inexperienced RN

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to krisssy's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Where is your discomfort, exactly? Clinically or in theory? When you speak of the dual degree program, do you mean a BN/MSN (thus, repeating your BSN??) If that is what you mean, I would not...

    Nurse Educators, Introduce Yourselves!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    That's disgraceful (and not required??? I'm surprised. Was this an accredited school?) I find that to be a useful tool as well. They have high expectations of us, and expect us to share our...

    New York Presbyterian PHARM EXAM!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to janetrette's topic in New York Nursing

    Do a search (or just scroll thru this forum). It has been discussed many times. If you study exactly what they tell you to (as per the 'cheat sheet'), you will pass :)

    What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I try not to let that notebook thing intimidate me, because that's why some family members do it in the first place. Some people truly do it for the sake of keeping track of trends (VS, counts, etc)....

    What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    The camera-phone thing is starting to worry me as well. Essentially, anyone can 'catch' anyone doing anything. Sure, you can do it w/ a regular camera (and just as inconspicuous with some of them...

    Why is it so hard for a nursing student to get a job?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to SBUalum03's topic in New York Nursing

    That's about right. Not a terribly long commute (at least it's a pleasant one on the LIRR). You could also get a monthly pass and save
