I understand the relationship question and why you might not want to provide that information. I doubt this is the situation that you are in but when I initially started on my unit, I hated that question. Not because I didn't like answering it but I ...

Have you ever reported your work to the board of nursing for unsafe practices and working conditions? I wondered what happened-investigation, etc...if anything. If you could elaborate or if you know there is a link to a discussion about this already,...

.....and like i said...in my opinion your instructor did exactly what she should have done. i never said you should fail the nursing program. i am not blaming anyone. i think what is being typed is not coming across the way i wished it would. so hope...

I would have docked you all of your grade for the day. One day you will need help, or be seen as "incompetent" to another...probably when you graduate. I don't care how much you know someday you won't understand something. How would you feel if those...

So, I got a call today saying that my manager needed to do a review on me...by Friday. A little background here. I graduated two years ago with my BSN, have been on the same unit since graduation, and yes this will be my first review. Let me tell you...

I had a patient once that obviously did not have many friends as I learned while caring for them. After they were discharged they facebooked me...I did not accept and felt bad about it. He actually worked at the hospital as well but I felt I didn't k...

Have you ever thought the nursing staff knows your a nurse and with the patient? And/Or your grandmother is the least acute of the patients that she has...and she might be having one of those days? I know I have been there. I one time only had the op...

I graduated in June 2008 with my bsn. Have worked since in TN. I make 19/hr. I would be making prob 25-26 in Ohio-where I graduated and where I used to live. There is essentially no cost of living difference here than ohio. It says there is but after...

I love everyone's perception of the south and southern hospitality. I used to live in the north but now I am in the south. Where I lived up north, my patients often did not say please, thank you, etc... after each time I was in the room but when the...

the problem i have is now my family is scattered all across the country, they only get together all at once for the holidays. yes they are there a few days before and after the holidays....but that is why i was teed off....i was strategically schedul...

I mind working holidays and I don't care if people think I'm being silly...or that I should have known this prior to getting into health care. Prior to healthcare, I worked 6 years at a movie theater prior to being a cna and then a nurse. I worked 10...

How do you know what size needle you need for a port-a-cath? Is it just trial and error? The reason I ask is I accessed one the other day for the first time with a 20g x 1inch needle with the help of a nurse who had accessed one before. It seemed lik...

What does TSM stand for?

I know the package said gripper or it was gripper plus I'm not sure.

opps well I guess someone already menitioned the dash thing right above me!

We had a girl come in named La-a.....but you had to say it literally as "la dash a"

If you value your physical and mental health, do not choose nursing as a career.

I have an unhealthy need for foot massages after my shifts. Or....well...I don't think it's unhealthy but my boyfriend does....perhaps it's because he's the one that has to give them to me every night.

Mine was probably a male TBI that was in his 30's. He required a soma bed for his safety. For three months he was on our unit, every day I would come in and ask him orientation questions. Out of all the TBI's I worked with he had some of the most cle...

LOL....nurse managers coming in when not properly staffed? Ummm I want to work were you work. My nurse manager would never do that. In fact this weekend we had 27 patients on the floor and as of when I left the next morning we were to have one tech, ...

I was splattered in the face with blood yesterday on my unit. It got all over my face near my eyes, nose, on my mouth. I am pretty sure it got in my mouth as well due to the taste. Of all things I was doing a finger stick....which just amazes me that...

First of all, yes I am in the US....Second.... So this is what happened: My manager forwarded on my email to the manager of employee health, which ironically was the woman who was rude to me and said it wasn’t an incident and made me cry (I’m a cr...

I'm in the same boat as well. I go to OSU and we graduate June 8th. From what I have heard from all that I have gathered from the different places I applied, they seem to all say that you should apply to get licensed in TN because transferring would ...

I am graduating in June with my BSN and planning on moving to Knoxville, TN. I've applied to several hospitals in Knoxville and I was wondering if anyone could fill me in on how much they start new RN's, particularly at UT medical center. In addition...

Hey, I'm actually interviewing for jobs right now as well. Although I am certainly not a seasoned nurse, I'm graduating in June, I can tell you some questions that I have had so far. They have asked me: Why do you want to work here Why do you want to...
