  1. Dangers of teaching kids they can be boys or girls

    Crush replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    *Sits back and reaches for the

  2. Will my license be at risk?

    Crush replied to Elmstreet209's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with all posts here. Nothing here to worry

  3. How to handle condescending doctor

    Crush replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above. I would not have mentioned the vitals at all in front of the family though. I would have spoken to the doctor after or before going into the room with any concerns I may have...

  4. I need to quit this job

    Crush replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck with your interview. Hope it works out. I would not feel too bad about the one you are with now though. They are the ones not doing right by you and in the long run, if something happens,...

  5. Nursing is not for me

    Crush replied to 2bnursern220's topic in General Nursing

    There are areas of nursing with less chit-chat time involved. That might be an option while you explore other options and pay off any school loans, etc. Who knows, you may enjoy the nursing where...

  6. I need to quit this job

    Crush replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    They should never have sent you to that home without a report. It seems to me there are two choices here. You can stick it out after talking to your supervisor and either get a new assignment/ or same...

  7. A&P 2 and Microbiology in the same semester?

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

    I did them together

  8. Who cleans the poo?

    Crush replied to leilo0's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow. Now that is really ridiculous. Wow, just wow. Ok so if trash is too heavy, who then takes it

  9. Who cleans the poo?

    Crush replied to leilo0's topic in General Nursing

    Clean up the obvious and have housekeeping disinfect. I mean, what if housekeeping takes a few to get there? Even if it were their job ( to get the obvious & disinfect ) I would still do a...

  10. Verbal abuse ... what are my rights?

    Crush replied to KHT's topic in General Nursing

    Love this. I have dealt with similar before. This is just not acceptable behavior, period.That your management enables this behavior by not dealing with it is really

  11. Specialty area or more general right out of school?

    Crush replied to sdarrington's topic in General Nursing

    If you are not sure what area you want to work in, then generalized floor may be the best option. Even if you think you know where you want to end up, most nurses could benefit from a year or two on a...

  12. Pay cut to become a RN

    Crush replied to Merky101's topic in General Nursing

    I was making over $30 when I was in NC. I wasn't a new RN though but did not have alot of experience either. ( Acute care hospital ) Pay is always doing to be based on demograhics, experience,setting,...

  13. Mandatory Overtime

    Crush replied to allstressedout1's topic in General Nursing

    We do have OT opportunities. No on-call though. If we have OT, then we are expected to work it and get paid for it. If not needed, we are call off. There is a sign up sheet down at HR for all floors....

  14. How to deal with this conflict?

    Crush replied to drkshadez's topic in General Nursing

    Oh for sure, I would have been annoyed as heck. You don't across as being arrogant at all. It sounds like a personality though. I don't care for personality conflicts either so best I can say is keep...

  15. Would and how would you address no pay raise in over a year?

    Crush replied to RockinNurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    We don't get automatic annual raises. We get ours every other year and how much we get depends on our evaluation

  16. How to deal with this conflict?

    Crush replied to drkshadez's topic in General Nursing

    Just focus on patient care and let it slide for now. It may just be personality. I would be a bit annoyed too if it were me but for now, focus on patient care and learning what you

  17. BSN New Grad LTC before hospital?

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

    I would work the LTC job while looking for what I want. Who knows though, maybe you will enjoy and want to stay there? You won't ruin your chances of obtaining an acute care job later. I know several...

  18. First Job as a Psyche Nurse

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

    Shoot, last time I floated to psych we were starting an IV for fluids on a pt needing to detox. Chest pain complaints with anxiety. You may need to do an EKG, draw labs, and more. Give it time. I...

  19. 3 nursing jobs in 2 years. Unhirable?

    Crush replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. We responded because we care and want to help or offer

  20. Specialization?

    Crush replied to Askaquestion's topic in General Students

    My sister works at a pediatric specialty clinic and loves it. I think in my initial response that is where my mind went. But Sour Lemon is right, at an acute care it would be similar to a med-surg,...

  21. Specialization?

    Crush replied to Askaquestion's topic in General Students

    If that is what you really want I see no problem with going for pediatrics. While in my opinion based on my experiences, think most (not all) new grads would benefit from working a med-surg floor for...

  22. Staff Retention Policies

    Crush replied to Positive_Outlook's topic in General Nursing

    Pitiful. I am grateful I have had some amazing managers then. It is rare for us to have short staffing

  23. Signs you got the job. VA interview 2018

    Crush replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    It does take time to get into any government position for nursing. It seems from what you said, there may be some confusion as to your experience. As evidenced by them seeming not to be aware your 5...

  24. 3 nursing jobs in 2 years. Unhirable?

    Crush replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Do not relinquish it. As Wuzzie said, keep it active so you can use it later. We are all offering constructive criticism based on what you have written. However, that in mind, we don't know you on a...

  25. 3 nursing jobs in 2 years. Unhirable?

    Crush replied to LPNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, there are other ways to help people than just nursing. Step back, breathe and do some inward reflection. If you choose to continue with nursing you will have to find your way based on...
