  5. Funniest Nursing Situation

    Crush replied to Neats's topic in General Nursing

  6. Should I Be a Nurse?

    Crush replied to BabyTurtle2k11's topic in General Nursing

    You did not mention how long you've been a LPN. I started as a CNA, got my LPN, went back for my RN and still in college for my MSN. I still find things I don't know or may have forgotten. I am a...

  7. Whats your favorite part of nursing?

    Crush replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Nursing

    Crush replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Students

  10. Nicotine pre- employment testing

    Crush replied to Kansasmomandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I had never even heard of this happening. I mean our facility went 100% smoke free/tobacco free but to the best of my knowledge there has been no testing for nicotine. None of the new hires have...

  11. Nicotine pre- employment testing

    Crush replied to Kansasmomandnurse's topic in General Nursing

    As far as smoking goes, it not illegal so the only reason I see for testing is related to insurance. But sheesh, spending alot of $$$$ for testing does not make sense to me but hey, I don't smoke...

  12. dropping human anatomy with a W

    Crush replied to sunshineee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Was it verbal abuse? Y/N or maybe?

    Crush replied to RivkaLev's topic in General Nursing

    It wasn't guilt. It was because you care. That is awesome. You acted appropriate, no abuse. Don't overthink

  14. Tips for isolation rooms?

    Crush replied to Philly85's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  15. Transitioning into Charge Role

    Crush replied to dontbetachy90's topic in General Nursing

    Listen. And I like the "corny" one above of appreciation/respect. My favorite nurse manager was the one who saw we were drowning and came out of her office wearing scrubs. She got on the floor and...

  16. Do you overspend on luxury items as a nurse?

    Crush replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    My first couple of paychecks went to paying off school asap to knock out the amount of interest. I don't really splurge though much. Most of my checks go towards my kids and bills and any left over...

  18. Anyone having a hard time getting over the verbal abuse?

    Crush replied to kayleeschiff's topic in General Nursing

    I would not call you a "pansy" or any other name. We all make mistakes or overthink some things, etc from time to time. Heck, we are all human. You have some good constructive criticism here so I...

  19. Soo tired of bedside...

    Crush replied to Grobyc82's topic in General Nursing

    I use my drive home to decompress if I need to. I can crank up the music or use as much profanity as I need to. But once I am in my house, that is it. Work does not come home with me anymore. But,...

  21. Men not helpful

    Crush replied to Sarah2018's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know some ladies who can lift just as well as any man can. The issue you are having has nothing to do with a person's gender or any other stereotype. Ask for help when you need it clearly. Talk to...

  24. documents to proof work, 960 hour

    Crush replied to Cubita1988's topic in General Nursing

    Still not very clear but I am thinking the BON in your state may want to know what clinical experience you have? You also mention you are a new grad? Can you elaborate on what specifically makes them...

  25. You learn by experience

    Crush replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing
