  1. Nursing burnout in the ICU or Med-surg???

    ONCRN84 replied to Nacki's topic in General Nursing

    I work medical oncology/hospice and I'm burned out. It's been 18 months and I'm burned out from the death, dying, and cancer. I'm looking for a public health

  2. tele nurses

    ONCRN84 replied to debg's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work in Tele, but I know our tele nurses have no more than 5 patients, day or night. And yes, they have aides too. Aides usually take 10-15 at night. During the day I think it's 5 because...

  3. blood transfusion

    ONCRN84 replied to musicmaiden's topic in General Nursing

    Agree with the above. I start it out slower and after 15 minutes bump it up, depending on the

  4. Crazy things patients say.....

    ONCRN84 replied to RS0302's topic in General Nursing

    I really like it when patients think we sleep on night shift. Or apologize for bothering us. No, really, I'm here to be bothered and I sleep during the day and work at

  5. Any current nurses who were not strong in science?

    ONCRN84 replied to rachenos30's topic in General Nursing

    I'm generally better at English classes, but I hate them. I love science, but I'm not the best at them. I had to really work my hiney off during my prereqs and in nursing school to do well in the...

  6. The Most Hard Working Shift- Day Or Night Shift?

    ONCRN84 replied to TPS360's topic in General Nursing

    I think days is a busier pace, but at night we don't have the resources as they do on days. We have to wear many hats. Instead of calling the kitchen for a snack, I have to go get it. Instead of...

  7. Asking you to work an extra shift.....

    ONCRN84 replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    No and no. Thankfully, even if I answer and say no, they don't usually badger. They say thanks and remind me that if I change my mind I can call back. I usually don't answer. I let the machine or...

  8. Angels posing as hospital patients?

    ONCRN84 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Working on an oncology/hospice unit, I whole-heartedly agree. I'm pretty sure some of my patients were angels sent to remind me of what's important... because they always come and go at key moments in...

  9. An answer to them calling everyday!

    ONCRN84 replied to confused101's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes census is higher than the target they staff for, so if that's the case they need to call to see if others can fill in the gap, especially if the rest of the house is in the same position. If...

  10. An answer to them calling everyday!

    ONCRN84 replied to confused101's topic in General Nursing

    Do they call all the time because of sick calls or call all the time because there wasn't enough scheduled in the first place? Or because census is

  11. Do you work 36 or 40 hours a week?

    ONCRN84 replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Our unit (medical oncology) has both 8s and 12s, and some older night shift nurses were "grandfathered in" because they work 10s, so they were allowed to keep their 10s. All of us on nights work 12s....

  12. Need help on changing jobs.

    ONCRN84 posted a topic in General Nursing

    A little background... I've been working as an RN for a little over a year now and I love it. I'm on nights and it's just not working for me anymore. I know a lot of people can handle nights just fine...
