  1. Rude Cna To Nurses

    inna posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am working in a unit with only one regular tech in our shift who is efficient and hardworking, but she has a hell of an attitude. I am barely new to the unit but I think I can't take it anymore....

  2. Patient safety

    inna replied to SueBDoo's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that will always be the scenario for a floor nurse anywhere you go. If I were you, since you just started in nursing, I would just wait until I had a whole year experience in that unit then...

  3. What about breaks?

    inna replied to avahsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    I work 12 hr shift and we usually have 30 mins break (breakfast) and 1 hr lunchbreak. The facility were I work is pretty good about it. I always take those breaks because it's deducted on my pay sheet...

  4. Is home care the better route in nursing?

    inna replied to Paleobug's topic in Home Health

    You just have to choose the lesser evil.... the aggravating stress in an understaffed Med/Surg floor but when your shift is done, you're done. Homecare Nursing is interesting, you see how people...

  5. Dreading Work Again!

    inna replied to Genista's topic in General Nursing

    Kona2; I think if you're not happy with your work you should leave it. I don't think that a vacation (no matter how long) is what you need.. yes, you'll be refreshed but when you go back to your...

  6. Do nurses take more crap because of their percieved role in health care?

    inna replied to warrior woman's topic in General Nursing

    The reason these unfair treatment are going on and on is because we also let it happen. Imagine working a 12 hr shift working like a dog, running here and there, taking care of pt's beyond your...

  7. Changing positions after only a few months

    inna replied to ParrotHeadRN's topic in General Nursing

    As you said the position you're applying for doesn't have vacancies quite often, so I would take my chances and give it a try. If you didn't get the position, then at least you know you've tried. And...

  8. Staffing: Just Licensed Personell or Including Unlicensed Assistive Personell

    inna replied to angelicaparki's topic in General Nursing

    I would prefer to have an all RN staff and just keep the ratio1:4 or 1:5, I could give more care, assess my pts. better, keep track of their I&O's V/S, etc..etc.. rather than have auxilliary help...

  9. Survey: Do you leave work at your scheduled time on a regular basis?

    inna replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I never left my unit on time. My shift ends at 19:30, I always finish my assignments on time but the thing that's holding us all to stay over past 8pm is the giving of report. Only the charge nurse...

  10. we've been having heated - but not yet angry - discussions

    inna replied to IowaCindy's topic in General Nursing

    VERY WELL SAID!!! MAYBE IF THE CITIZENS HERE ARE WILLING TO DO THE JOBS THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAVE, EMPLOYERS WOULDN'T HAVE TO HIRE THE UNDOCUMENTED

  11. Visiting by just taking the train at the Manhattan Area

    inna posted a topic in Home Health

    I'm interested in working around the Manhattan area but my concern is the parkings. I heard that some nurses are just taking the train? Anyone reading this post have an idea how possible is that?...

  12. Nursing vs. Pharmacy

    inna replied to erilynn17's topic in General Nursing

    Our Pharmacy is very efficient. We usually send our missing meds by computer and we only call them when the missing meds did not arrive in the unit at all (which is seldom). They are reliable too,...

  13. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    inna replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    When the Unit Secretary is sick and no Techs showed up for the day. And the supervisor can't give you one because "NO ONE'S SCHEDULED FOR THE DAY". And once you survived that day....Then that would...

    inna replied to I_Love_Donuts's topic in General Nursing

  15. Med/Surg vs. Specialty nursing

    inna replied to cwgrlRN's topic in General Nursing

    Although this matter has been discussed in this BB a lot of times, I would recommend you go where your heart and interest is. It's true that you'll benefit a lot from a year in Med Surg floor..but...

  16. RNs Performing Housekeeping Duties!

    inna replied to allsmiles's topic in General Nursing

    There would be days when I have 8 to 10 pts. to care of with only one CNA for 30 pts, when I have to pick-up the phone because everyone's turning deaf when there's no secretary...when I have to search...

  17. Wanting to be seen as an adult!!

    inna replied to emily_rn_03's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree with DAYRAY'S comment 100%...I'd rather have my seasoned colleague perceive me as a new grad (I've only been a nurse for barely 2 yrs).. at least when I handled things efficiently, they'll...

  18. Want to know positive and negative feedbacks about working in Maternity Unit

    inna posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm thinking of moving out of M/S after doing it for 1yr and thinking of doing OR or Maternity Nursing. I've read the OR threads and learned a lot about the stress and rewards of working in that...

  19. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

    inna replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    TELEMETRY/CCU and to make things worst make it a Geriatric Unit....Yes!! our pt's average age is 80's. Imagine working with really sick old patients, where you often get a lot of TOTAL CARE pts....

  20. What is your least favorite.....

    inna replied to New CCU RN's topic in General Nursing

    black,greenish discharges fron the NG Tube, pts with bad breaths who wouldn't even be bothered brushing their teeth even when you insist ... poops i can handle, but pt's private parts down there that...

  21. Life after Med/Surg

    inna replied to LINUS's topic in General Nursing

    LINUS, It is you who best knows where your interest and heart of nursing is. It's really a torture to go on a med/surg floor when on the first place you hated it and just doing it for the sake...

  22. What is your best tips for new grads starting on med-surg

    inna replied to peaceful2100's topic in Medical-Surgical

  23. How long should I stay in Med/surg?

    inna replied to Shevalove's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Shevalove, I understand how you feel.. If you find an institution that accepts new grads for OR position then by all means go for it! It's the same thing anyway... No matter how long you stayed in...
