   The other nurses HATE her because she always checks up on things and uses her nursing knowledge. I think she's a doll. I've learned a lot from her already. The other nurses resent her and treat her like crap...roll their eyes and ignore her requests.

   I work on the rehab side so yeah they all go to OT and PT at different times. They usually will tell me oh I'm taking 307A to PT at 10:00 please give her pain meds before hand. Which is another reason going in room order is hard. Thank you, I freake...

   They keep the narcs in alphabetical order of the last name of the patient. It corresponds with the count binder so if you put it in the wrong place, the count is all messed up and the oncoming nurse gets ******. Eh. I try really hard though to keep e...

7. Do Day Nurses Really Feel that Night Nurses Do Nothing All Night?

   lvnjden4ever, R.N. replied to Brita01's topic in General Nursing

   I just started working Days at an LTC facility. Management is always saying..."oh, we will add that responsibility to nights" or "nights workload is much less, just paperwork". So of course day shift nurses have learned to resent them! Days have 24...

8. What is a REAL Nurse?????

   lvnjden4ever, R.N. replied to lvnjden4ever, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

   It's a medical spa. Not the kind of spa where there is relaxing music, massages, and fancy aromas. Our physician prescribes various treatment to the patients. Usually, they suffer from hyperpigmentation, severe acne, or of course aging. So I don't se...

9. What is a REAL Nurse?????

   lvnjden4ever, R.N. replied to lvnjden4ever, R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

   I guess it's kind of like when they say dermatologists or chiropractors aren't real doctors. Which I think is ridiculous. Anyways, I'm not leaving the medi-spa because of the constant criticism from bitter people. Unfortunately, the hours just aren'...

    So I'm confused nurses... I'm going to renew my license for the first time (got my license in June 2008, expires February 2010). There is the 'new' fingerprinting requirement which states: Effective March 1, 2009, if you have never been fingerprint...
