  1. Should a new grad work as a float nurse?

    RN1982 replied to CL 09's topic in General Nursing

    No, you should NOT work as a float nurse. You are a new grad, you have no experience. You need experience. Take a floor

  3. 3% NS

    RN1982 replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

  7. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ruby, I just want to say that I agree with every point that you have made. We feel sympathetic to the person who was fired and for the most part, we only ever hear their side of the story. Not...

  10. Nurses are oppressed?! Do we oppress others?

    RN1982 replied to alex_hamilton18's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes I think we do. I worked in a very toxic environment where a new nurse was openly picked on. The senior staff nurses would look through her charting and point out what they thought was wrong...

  11. RNs caught lying

    RN1982 replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work at a hospital where even the ICUs had paper charting. Now I work at a facility where ICU nurses created a computer charting system thats used in all the ICUs throughout the hospital....

  13. RNs caught lying

    RN1982 replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe you are justifying lying on medical records with the "I have too many patients to be accurate"

  14. RNs caught lying

    RN1982 replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    Falsifying documents especially ones that are legal such as medical records is ILLEGAL and should be grounds for having one's license revoked.. Documenting a linen change when you know you didn't do...

  17. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I lack sympathy for someone that gives coumadin to a patient with an INR of 9 and then gets fired. That's basic med/surg as far as I'm concerned. That nurse could have killed that

  18. "Fired for NO Reason"

    RN1982 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't know how some of people get off orientation. I think it's quite scary. It comes down to just another body on the floor sometime. I find it when people come up under the microscope for their...

  19. Nurses/Students: How often do you cry?

    RN1982 replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Now with that family member, I was upset because he did yell at me and so did my manager. I think I was more upset with the fact that the nurse before me failed to relay to the family that...

  20. Nurses/Students: How often do you cry?

    RN1982 replied to ToxicShock's topic in General Nursing

    I've cried twice. The first time was when I started my orientation at my first RN job. It was the first day and I was stressed out. The second time was when a family member screamed at me about his...
