  1. How does a nurse pick HERSELF up when everyone keeps kicking her down?

    uscstu4lfe replied to docpsychrn42's topic in General Nursing

    it does not sound right that you would be terminated without being informed as to why. as judge judy likes to say, if it doesn't sound right, then it probably isn't true. now why were

  2. Nurse is marrying former patient's husband

    uscstu4lfe posted a topic in General Nursing

  5. Do You Announce That You're a Nurse?

    uscstu4lfe replied to SDS_RN's topic in General Nursing

  6. random drug tests?

    uscstu4lfe replied to carrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    hmm, i wonder if anyone here gets a nose bleed from taking the high road all of the time? we don't have random drug testing at my hospital. two managers must agree to drug test an employee if there is...

  7. Running KCL without knowing the pt's baseline K

    uscstu4lfe replied to Erin 321's topic in General Nursing

  8. Getting your need from someone else.

    uscstu4lfe replied to Pocahontas98_21's topic in General Nursing

    i think it's easy for one to sit back and say "oh, no, never! not me! not in a million years!". However, when you are actually walking in the other person's shoes, things suddenly aren't so concrete...

  9. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    uscstu4lfe replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    i'd say if you had the chance to be either a nurse or a physician.. than definitely be a physician. they're the final authority of a patient's plan of care and the are the ones that guide their care....

  10. Running KCL without knowing the pt's baseline K

    uscstu4lfe replied to Erin 321's topic in General Nursing

    uscstu4lfe replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

  13. How much is your pay?

    uscstu4lfe replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

    35.26 (i'm not sure about the cents part). still considered a "new grad". i really don't think i'm paid enough. nursing makes my back hurt. i'd probably be doing something else if i could make the...

  14. Orienting a new nurse...need advice

    uscstu4lfe replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    she's still really, really new! students have a LOT of time to kill, so doing 20 minute assessments helps to pass the time. give her a few weeks, i'm sure she'll shorten this and hone in on what's...

  15. HIV positive nurses

    uscstu4lfe posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just have a quick question. It's totally random, but has me thinking! I ran into a thread here about HIV positive nurses, but it was lacking on what I was looking for. Perhaps you can help? Are RNs...

  23. how many carry liability insurance???

    uscstu4lfe replied to nursemn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

  24. not new graduate and no experience-how do i get a job?

    uscstu4lfe replied to lasa's topic in General Nursing

    This is really odd. Hospitals in the socal area are hiring like CRAZY. If you're alive, have your license, and are decent, you'll get hired. Maybe you're just in a very rural area where nurses are not...

    uscstu4lfe replied to 2klkds's topic in General Nursing
