  4. Unfair Fundamentals Clinical Testing?

    Crush replied to jbernardo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you can't differentiate an enema bag from a primary bag of IV fluid, you deserved to fail. I am sorry but I cannot get over this one. You even mentioned you did not know what an enema was so you...

  6. Nursing Home Supervisor challenges with WOUND CARE

    Crush replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    Crush replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you are doing good so far in taking corrective action, in-services and 1:1 counseling. Is there a way to find out why this is not consistent? What are the barriers to taking time to turn...

  10. I'm scared to be a nurse? Thinking about leaving before starting

  11. Where do the nurses with the highest job satisfaction work?

    Crush replied to juliacaRN's topic in General Nursing

  12. Workplace Sayings

    Crush replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

  14. Can a new grad have spidey senses??

    Crush replied to Barbie8808's topic in General Nursing

    In this case, I would not reach for the stars. I'd take the med-surg, esp as a new grad. Other critical care, ICU, ER jobs will come along. Plus that drive. Goodness, and you had red

  17. Is the charge nurse the boss of unit secretary?

    Crush replied to Ajean1203's topic in General Nursing

    Way too vague. It is good to defend your friends but always know there are 2 sides to every story. But you come on here calling out "mean stuff", "race card", "HIPPA violations", "can't hold ethics"...

  18. Help project idea

    Crush replied to Pamela18's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner
