  1. Anyone had an experience like this??!!

    Crush replied to Dani_Mila's topic in General Nursing

    Way too disorganized. Very poor communication from the facility. I wonder how long one would have to wait and keep asking for the paycheck? I'd be looking

  2. Is late or lack of Documentation a reason for fireability?

    Crush replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

    Quit on your own terms is always better than getting fired. Totally agree with all the above

  3. Alternative to ER

    Crush replied to dbuy3's topic in General Nursing

    I did 5 years as a LPN on a med-surg floor. I second the vote for med-surg if that is available in your

  4. Hating Nursing Currently

    Crush replied to vanaly's topic in General Nursing

    Oh gosh, here too once. I was just so overwhelmed with my patient load and my team was also busy so I did not ask for help. Sometimes it takes more than a year, sometimes it is that whole first year...

  5. Hating Nursing Currently

    Crush replied to vanaly's topic in General Nursing

    Breathe. This is normal. It gets better. I like the phrase my instructor in nursing school used at graduation, "Now the real learning begins." You got this. As you continue, you will learn tricks and...

  6. Verbal orders for narcotics

    Crush replied to Geslina's topic in General Nursing

    Hell no. I would either call doctor myself or have the original nurse who spoke put in the order but heck no. There has to be someone

  7. A Nurses Duty to act

    Crush replied to Mellissa81's topic in General Nursing

    There has to be more to this story. But I cannot imagine just sitting by while another human being obviously needs

  9. Unstable Admission

    Crush replied to ptsfirst's topic in General Nursing

    I still think you did nothing to deserve a reprimand. It sounds like you questioned r/t trying to advocate for the patient. Nothing wrong with asking questions about potential care that may be needed...

  10. Be sure to document! Nurse charged in death of H. R. McMaster Sr.

    Crush replied to NurseBlaq's topic in General Nursing

    What in the world? There is something seriously wrong with this. Does this mean she did not want whoever followed her to have to do the neuro

  11. Unstable Admission

    Crush replied to ptsfirst's topic in General Nursing

    I just take issue with the OP being reprimanded for questioning. Regardless of stability, any concerns should be raised without fear of

  12. Wearing scrubs home?

    Crush replied to Lee_Ryan's topic in General Nursing

    Hahahahaha I remember back when we had to wear all white and accidentally wore undies with a bright color that showed right through . I swear I did not even think about that when I got dressed that...

  13. Being An Advocate

    Crush replied to tonicole's topic in General Nursing

    Politics do matter too. While we don't know the details of what kind of clinical situation it was it is hard to say for sure. You were there and you have to continue to work there. If this is an issue...

  14. Having a "soft personality" make for a bad nurse?

    Crush replied to Katlin1315's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Stay true to who you

  15. Being An Advocate

    Crush replied to tonicole's topic in General Nursing

    You have to choose your battles. Go with your gut and whatever the situation was. Glad the patient is ok, that is the main

  16. Job Reference Dilemma--Help!

    Crush replied to MissCleoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar instructor experience. In the end she gave me a good reference stating that I made improvements, blah, blah and mentioned excellent clinical skills and patient care. I did give her a...

  17. Help! I am burned out and I don't know how to fix it.

    Crush replied to Orange123456's topic in General Nursing

    Since you mentioned your manager is a good one, maybe try opening up a little to her. Maybe it is time for an early vacation or a 3 days weekend to also help refresh. Excellent suggestions above....

  18. Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

    Crush replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I have had to hand in official school transcripts, which is basically the same thing cause they do see your grades on the transcripts. However, you can counter the lower GPA with letters of reference,...

  19. Hoping for a miracle

    Crush replied to Feinhawk's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure why you thought there would be any backlash. But sounds like you are thinking things through and creating good back up plans. No matter what area of nursing you would get into though (even if...

  20. Repeat Education?!

    Crush replied to nursingstudent_12kp's topic in General Students

    They are providing some constructive, well-intended food for thought. Being a nurse is not just book knowledge, it is how you will apply it safely and with critical thinking. I am not sure what kind...

  21. Favorite scrubs??

    Crush replied to Alexx_xox's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Do we work together? I have a co-worker too who looks similar and wears a fanny pack. DaveyDo, you made me laugh. Love the pics. Ok, answering the question now. As long as I feel comfortable and...

  22. Had to work as CNA

    Crush replied to Sol95's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I have had to do that before in LTC. They were short a CNA and that was where you were

  23. Crap! Am I a crusty old bat nurse?? Carrying pens...

    Crush replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Just snorked my tea. I can't imagine working without pens in my pocket and extra in my locker. Sometimes I go to work with 4 pens and come home with 1. My favorite though is sometimes I hit the...

  24. Just got the passive aggressive CC email. Advice please!

    Crush replied to SNAMATT's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts

  25. Suspension

    Crush replied to stasiastar's topic in General Nursing

    Consider yourself lucky to be suspened instead of fired. I am not sure about call in time policy at your facility but that was pretty cruddy to do to the patients and your co-workers. I am somewhat...
