  1. Let me tell you how my night went last night...

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, you are right. I did speak up. I told the nurse in charge of our pod last night that it was unfair of her to dump on me and the other nurse. I will be speaking to my manager in the morning. I...

  2. Let me tell you how my night went last night...

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't mention it, but I work in an SICU, so two patients is the max we get. Our Charge does not take an assignment unless we are horribly short. If it had been me who had been running the pod last...

  3. Termination

    RN1982 replied to FutureERDoc's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is, there is nothing you can do to get your job back. Next time be aware of what you can and cannot

  4. math question

    RN1982 replied to lake girl's topic in General Nursing

    If you are going to post anymore questions on this board regarding how to do medication math or any other homework, then I want to see your work FIRST. This is not an unreasonable request. Do not...

  5. How did you maintain school and work?

    RN1982 replied to purple*11's topic in General Nursing

    I work 36 hours a week and am going for my RN/BSN. I try to work 2-3 shifts in a row so I can have 2-3 days off. On my days off, I follow a schedule. Usually, I get up early and go to the gym, when I...

  7. To All Student Nurses

    RN1982 replied to resumecpr's topic in General Nursing

    TOTALLY AGREE!!!! The OP has the choice of whether or not to read a thread. Why bother reading a post by a student nurse if you are just gonna be all high/mighty about it? If they frustrate you so...

  8. To All Student Nurses

    RN1982 replied to resumecpr's topic in General Nursing

    This forum is open to all members, experienced nurses, new grads and students, thank you very much. I'm getting frustrated with all these negative, student nurse-bashing threads. Now I know the reason...

  9. was i wrong?

    RN1982 replied to Lissacheer87's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Leslie. It is not the floor nurse's job to be teaching the students, that is the job of the clinical instructor. There are some nurses who simply do not like to teach, I am one of them. I...

  10. was i wrong?

    RN1982 replied to Lissacheer87's topic in General Nursing

    380cc over an entire shift to me isn't bad especially for a fresh post op patient. How about 500cc in two hours out of a JP drain that is in a patient who is two days post op Liver transplant and it's...

  11. Sinai Grace Working Conditions

    RN1982 replied to 23Nurse's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, it's on the west side. I did my OB clinical there and it wasn't bad. You have to start somewhere. Also, a lot of ICUs will not hire new grads. They usually like at least a year of critical care...

  12. Peer evals

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I think people make up things about you to put in your peer eval. I just got mine yesterday so I don't know who evaluated me. To be honest, I'm not friends with everyone I work with. I don't...

  13. Peer evals

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    So yeah, I found out who the person was who evaluated me and from what I have heard she has stated that she doesn't care for me. From my previous post, you'll find out that we had a disagreement and...

  14. Peer evals

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Ruby you are the voice of logic and reason and I love you. I completely agree. Now had that person had the balls to sign their name, I would have taken that eval more seriously. All I got to say is......

  16. Peer evals

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Anyhow, I'm trying not to harbor ill feelings but it made me sad when I read those comments. I love where I work. I provide the best care I possibly can. And it hurts me when someone who does not work...

  17. Peer evals

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, that's exactly what my boss does, randomly gives them to other employees to fill out. I provide constructive feedback to the people I have to evaluate. I feel like the person who did mine had...

  18. Hugs to you floor nurses

    RN1982 replied to frann's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes patients need a talking to. Sorry after having been a nurse for five years, I for one am not going to let a patient berate me verbally or physicially abuse me. The other night, we admitted a...

  21. New health care bill..

    RN1982 replied to Keptonkurtis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And? You are making it seem like the death of our troops over in Iraq and Afghanistan are insignificant. Tell me why Obama has yet to withdraw them? Why are we still there? He said during his campaign...

  22. New health care bill..

    RN1982 replied to Keptonkurtis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You know, I've heard the argument "Well, you don't mind paying for two wars, do you. So why don't you mind paying for healthcare so everyone has it?". The money we pay is to keep our troops alive. No,...
