  1. Vent about work

    JB2007 replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    I think that I would have to agree with you about the poor time management. My poor time management comes from the fact that I care enough to make sure the tx are done, meds are passed, doctors are...

  2. Vent about work

    JB2007 replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your kind words. I guess I am just upset because I have so many residents right at this moment with so many issues. I do not feel that I can tell them to wait a moment because when they are...

  3. So I am sitting here...

    JB2007 replied to Tait's topic in Nursing Humor

    LOL That is too

  4. There is nothing that can fix this is there? (ok it's a rant)

    JB2007 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    Hate to tell you this, but I have worked Alzheimers unit also and as a CNA too. You are implying that the nurses that work these units are lazy, but I have found that the opposite is true. Some of the...

  5. There is nothing that can fix this is there? (ok it's a rant)

    JB2007 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as a CNA for many years before becoming a nurse, so I know exactly what it is like to work as a CNA. Therefore, I think that I am able to speek from a CNAs point of view also. I think she...

  6. There is nothing that can fix this is there? (ok it's a rant)

    JB2007 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is you are in for a rude awakening in 7+ weeks. I really hope that when you pass your boards and get your nursing job that things are as peachy and easy as you seem to think they are....

  7. Does anyone hate their job as a nurse?

    JB2007 replied to Pongoo's topic in General Nursing

    I hate to say this, but YES sometimes I HATE being a nurse. I hate the pt. or in my case res. loads that I am forced to take day in and day out. I hate being told if I don't like it there is the door....

  8. to go or not go to pinning ceremony?

    JB2007 replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others that stated to go if it is your thing, but do not go if it is not. I went just for my family. I was the first one in my family to recieve a college degree and they were very...

  9. OA + 4 +4 +4 Med Pass???

    JB2007 replied to stdntograd06's topic in General Nursing

    They are talking about starting this at my facility. I am against this, but in the end they will not listen to me. I feel that it will set us up for med errors and it will be impossible to do with the...

  10. Is it worth it to keep trying? Desperate for answers!

    JB2007 replied to americanlatina313's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry but you are WRONG. I have worked in both the nursing home and the hospital and the nursing home is just as stressful as the hospital. Have any of you nurses that are telling this person to...

  11. HOT!!! rant

    JB2007 replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Let me start out by saying I am sorry that your employer seems to be intent on cooking you alive. However, your post had me laughing so hard that I almost peed my pants. I love the part about the...

  12. Care Aide work vs. RN work?

    JB2007 replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in General Nursing

    I will agree with you in that it is stressful for the whole team. I will tell you when my aides are having a bad day I am have an bad day too. Even worse the residents are having a bad day too. In the...

  13. Care Aide work vs. RN work?

    JB2007 replied to Maddi_Rose's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry but I have to disagree with this post. While a CNA has a lot of work in a nursing home it is nothing compared to the nurses' work. I worked many years as an aide (the time before lifts too)...

  14. What would you do?

    JB2007 replied to mizfradd's topic in General Nursing

    I would ask them what exactly they thought they were doing. What a totally asinine and unprofessional thing to

  15. Employment Dilemma

    JB2007 replied to Kim, HHRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would just talk to your manager. Tell her/him how you are feeling and what you are planning on doing. However, I would consider the fact that a med-surg unit would be a very good place to work if...

  16. Two med carts, three halls, to many patients

    JB2007 replied to Kashia's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    More like nobody

  17. Why are nurses so hard on each other?

    JB2007 replied to Dragonsmack's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to agree with Jules A in some cases other members of the team can not/ will not do their fair share or are incompetent and it makes others in the team resentful. You can only help out...

  18. Two med carts, three halls, to many patients

    JB2007 replied to Kashia's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That sounds like a dangerous situation to me. Missing MARS and no report on two pts is dangerous. That facility put pts at risk, you lincense at risk, and themselves at risk for a big lawsuit if...

  19. Co-worker in "trouble."

    JB2007 replied to danceswithsnakes's topic in General Nursing

    Just be a person that she can come and talk to is probably the best thing you can do for her. She is dealing with some very difficult issues at this time and might need someone who will just listen to...

  20. Remind me why I do this

    JB2007 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I feel your pain. You have desribed my job and how I feel about it exactly. In fact, do we work in the same facility. I have the unrealistic family that want their 100 year old grandfather to make a...

  21. Telling management about interview for new job...

    JB2007 replied to PICU_RN_WannaB's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the situation. At my current place of employment I would tell my unit manager when I was going in for a interview. However, I have worked at other places where I would not tell them...

  22. Why are leadership skills an important attribute of a Registered Nurse?

    JB2007 replied to Hopeful2011's topic in General Nursing

    Baked goods work well also.:) If you do not have leadership skills your patient will not get the care they need. You must be able to guide and instruct others in what kind of care your patient

  23. What's your mindset,...?

    JB2007 replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    As the OP stated it depends on the day and who I am working with. Somedays I go in thinking that I am going to have a great day and ignore the people around me that are trying thier best to make my...

  24. Dirty little secrets to managing LTC

    JB2007 replied to Kashia's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    JenniferSews, How on Earth do they expect the day shift to get it all done then? We are in the process of making major changes in how things are done at my facility and I think even more will be taken...

  25. Dirty little secrets to managing LTC

    JB2007 replied to Kashia's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    NOTFLO why are you doing nose sprays, eye gtts, and patches on the 0900 med pass? Those are done on the 0600 med pass so that it is possible for the day shift nurse to complete the med pass close to...
