  1. Needing Advise!!!

    Crush replied to asnewnurse2017's topic in General Nursing

    If they are truly your friends, then they will be supportive and want you to be where you'll be happiest. Might you be happy there after "it all levels out"? Maybe, but if ER was/is your passion then...

  2. Turn Q2 and patient refuses

    Crush replied to AnLe's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Absolutely. Document, document, document. However, don't forget patient teaching and trying to find out reasons why such as, why did she/he say they were treated like a bag of meat. Maybe they need...

  3. Help, failed first exam in Med-Surg

    Crush replied to sandy 45's topic in General Students

    Of course there is hope. Continue to go over class notes, especially if your teacher repeats anything or outright says it will be on the test. Jot down everything written on the board. Read all the...

  4. Punitive culture

    Crush replied to pink panther's topic in General Nursing

    I would list the pros and cons of staying versus leaving. The grass is not always greener on the other side. It may just be a different shade of green. If you have more listed as reasons to leave,...

  5. Nurses don't do their 3 med checks?

    Crush replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Nursing

    I think coming here and asking is a good thing. It is how we learn and grow. Some answers we will like and others we may not. But there might be something to be learned from all answers. You get...

    Crush replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Nursing

    exactly. Safety checks are there for a

  7. Nurses don't do their 3 med checks?

    Crush replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Nursing

    I never ever have time for a med error and always have time to triple and sometime quadruple check. I have been a nurse a long time and still can't stress how dangerous it is to bypass any safety...

  8. Are new grad RNs able to get a job in home health ?

    Crush replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I started out in home health/hospice and after a few years am now working in acute care. It can be done but is not the norm. It all depends on the hospital too. Having experienced this, I still...

  9. Applying for VA as CNA

    Crush replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    While I have no idea about how the VA hires. I would certainly go for it and put in your

  11. Are new grad RNs able to get a job in home health ?

    Crush replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If your goal is acute care then I would suggest starting there versus home health. While home health is possible to get as a new grad, it may not be ideal either. Totally depends on the person too...

  12. Full Time or Per diem (But Full time)

    Crush replied to Irah0526's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago I worked with a nurse who only worked per diem but had 3 jobs so if she was cancelled at one she had 2 other options. I believe she was scheduling herself for 48 hours a week between the 3...

  13. Should nurses be able to listen to music at work?

    Crush replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    Same here. I have also had patient's ask to listen to music or nature sounds and I am happy to honor requests too. However, it all depends on the setting too. In ICU, no music as I must be able to...

  14. Homelessness

    Crush replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Nursing

    I think aside from safety concerns of course, research thoroughly about van life and see what you need. Glad you are asking questions and seeing what steps you'll need to take. I agree with others...

  15. Nursing school lack of confidence/Clinicals

    Crush replied to A.J.R.'s topic in General Students

    Don't worry about it. Honestly though, you are totally normal. It takes a while to become more confident. Be sure to ask questions, ask for help or a demo as

  16. Group One

    Crush replied to Nurseangel54's topic in General Nursing

    I had not heard of anything like that. Is there something similar for every

  17. Working nights w/ barking/needy dogs that probably wouldn't let me sleep during the day

    Crush replied to lmb93's topic in General Nursing

    I like the bark collar. I walk mine just before bed so they are worn out. I feed them when we get back and send them into the backyard 1 more time before I go to bed. ( they have doggie beds they...

  18. Thinking about quitting

    Crush replied to RNattie's topic in General Nursing

    Think about how you can make a change to a less stressful environment to work in. There are certainly many areas that may open up for you with having some

  19. Was I wrong?

    Crush replied to Munch's topic in General Nursing

    Once you assume care while your co-worker took a break, then patient was your responsibility. You acted correctly. Well

  20. Have you worked for a facility that has transitioned from 8-hour shifts to 12s?

    Crush replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I seen on one floor where the nurse manager took a poll and 100% of the staff requested to go from 8 hour shifts to 12 hours. Worked out great as there was a good spread of those who wanted days vs...

  21. Diversion

    Crush replied to Frina's topic in Nurses Recovery

    At this point I would be seeking legal advice as in at least a consult. Best of

  22. Can't find a job! No job opportunities!

    Crush replied to PrettyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Also, military uses LPNs on med-surg and all kinds of other floors. Of course there are pros and cons to everything but just a thought to add to beekee's list. Also hospice sometimes will use LPNs but...

  23. Diversion

    Crush replied to Frina's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Nope, not no way, not no how ever, ever confess to something you did NOT do ever. I would however agree to a random UA or hair test to clear my name. But HECK NO, I would never admit to anything I did...

  24. Lost newish grad

    Crush replied to Name9335's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Excellent point. I work with a few nurses who started in LTC as a new grad for a year or two before coming to the hospital. Most nurses during our careers will have worked in more than 1-2 different...

    Crush replied to Name9335's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Only you can decided what is a better fit for you though. You must weigh the pros & cons of each for yourself. I would urge you to find any threads here that present both
