    Crush replied to Adam18's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Crush replied to Cadams47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked LTC a while back and you are still new to the facility. Of course, you will be slower, that is expected. Be gentle with yourself. As for the co-workers, next time walk in there with your...

    Crush replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

  4. Decisions???

  8. Should you work as a CNA/Tech before or during nursing school

    Crush replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in General Students

    In my opinion, I found being a CNA first and throughout nursing school to be very rewarding and certainly helpful in my education as well. I did it full time while I went through nursing

  10. Help! Forced to leave before next shift?

    Crush replied to Halawaii's topic in General Nursing

    Similar thing happened at my first job. Not to me but another nurse. Anyways, she filed unemployment for those shifts they told her to stay home. She somehow did it for that time only. So the hospital...

    Crush replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously sad. Of course the person who sent out that e-mail should receive a mystery gift with a clothes pin for their nose and some poop pouri. Butt, I dare them to tell me where to poo. If the time...

  15. Fairness

    Crush replied to Hink12's topic in General Nursing

    When you were hired, were you aware that you would be scheduled 12 hour shifts? Did they promise certain hours and put it in writing? Perhaps if 12 hrs is not right for you & your needs have...

  16. Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Crush replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    OSHA standard mandates that "employers allow employees prompt access to bathroom facilities," and that access must be reasonable ( I think something to do with the disabilities act ). So in a way, I...

  22. Ambien on second shift

    Crush replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree with KatieMI. I cannot rationalize waking patient to give a scheduled sleep med. Silliness. For sure warning them with scheduled meds or vitals helps ensure better compliance and patient...

    Crush replied to Madeleine123's topic in General Nursing

    I did case management ( FT ) and LTC ( per diem ) at the same time. As a new grad, I would suggest at least 6mo to 1 yr full time in med-surg to build up skills & confidence and then maybe do...
