findingmywayRN, what they're doing doesn't sound right to me. I'm just a student nurse that'll be graduating soon and I will be thinking about having a second child sometime soon as well. I hope...
Hi Bill L, Well, I'm not one for making excuses but I believe the reason this incident happened was due a recent change in out computer systems. We recently changed from a "DOS-based" system to a...

Oh boy, nursemjb, you weren't kidding when you said "precious." Little William is absolutely adorable. In one of the pictures he looks like a little doll with his big blue eyes, pink lips, and all...

Yeah, blood sugars that low would be scary for me too. So I take it that you're either a school nurse or a pediactric nurse? (Am I way off?) Well the fact is that I did chart it (both on paper and in...

I'm sorry your review/eval was such a disappointment. I would feel the same too if I worked my butt off and it wasn't good enough for them. I don't have much experience with this situtation as I'm...

Hi everyone, Lately I've been reading posts about nurse having trouble obtaining work due to complaints being filed on their licenses due to various reasons (i.e. coworker revenge, being over worked...

Thanks so much for all of your suggestions. I intend on developing these good habits while I'm still a student so I will be better off for it. I definitely agree with organization - I just can't...
