    DoeRN replied to Superstar1182's topic in General Nursing

    At your next job if there is a comment section where you scan your meds type in the vitals, lab values etc. I always check a bp before giving bp meds and make a note as to why or why I'm not giving...

    DoeRN replied to skoolrn's topic in Western Governors University

    I'm starting the IT program hopefully in March if my old school sends in my transcripts in time. I have several friends who want to get their BSN and I have been recommending WGU. I'm excited to...

  4. Forced to Take an Assignment You Can Not Handle

    DoeRN replied to 1RN4Christ's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Unfortunately it is like that everywhere. At least you had 5 patients instead of 7 or 8. Just remember there are other things you can do besides bedside nursing. Sent from my iPhone using...

    DoeRN replied to auntlala's topic in Nursing Career

    Tell your friends to worry about themselves. Take the job. And I've traveled and trust me it is HARD! You get crappy assignments because you are the travel nurse and make more money. Not always but it...

  9. Well, it is what it is. Just a revelation.

    DoeRN replied to missladyrn's topic in General Nursing

    OP I can related. I just finished a 7 day in a row stretch. Why? Because I'm going back to school for non nursing and I want to pay my tuition. It was hard and I'm beyond tired. But I went on...

  11. Pros and Cons of your job?

    DoeRN replied to Underoo's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a speciality since I am a float nurse. Pros- I set my own schedule and don't have to work weekends and holidays. Cons- well there are too many to list. I'm in the process of getting away...

  12. Missouri to Illinois Reciprocity?

    DoeRN replied to delerben's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Use the drop down box I think it says application forms. The first drop down listing is what you want if you are an RN. The booklet that pops up gives you instructions. It's the professional...

  13. Missouri to Illinois Reciprocity?

    DoeRN replied to delerben's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Just go to the ILBON website. It tells you exactly what you need to get licensed there. The same for every other BON. And IL is not a compact state. Sent from my iPhone using

  15. Angry Nurse here!

    DoeRN replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's terrible. And for me I'm so picky over food that I rarely eat homemade food that someone brings in. I rarely participate in pot lucks at work. Unless I know for a fact that the person is super...

  17. RN to MD

    DoeRN replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    That is pretty cool. You have a sweet deal. I checked out a DO school near me and gave it some serious thought but again it's the age thing for me. I have worked with several nurses who went the...

  18. RN to MD

    DoeRN replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    Me too unfortunately. I would be 50 after it's all said and done as far as actual med school, residency, pre-reqs. And by that age I want to be established and not have 100k or more in student loans....

  19. Informatics degree or IT degree?

    DoeRN posted a topic in Nursing Informatics

  21. Was reprimanded and told to resign. Advice or thoughts would be appreciated.

    DoeRN replied to nurse20011's topic in General Nursing

    I almost got blamed for an order that was missed. The doctor didn't know how to put in orders and didn't tell anyone he didn't know how to put in orders. So instead of asking someone one (myself who...

  22. RN to MD

    DoeRN replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    If I were 10 years younger I would go to med school. My dad's best friend was an ER nurse first and went back and he is now a trauma surgeon. Super nice

  25. How to deal with the old/experienced nurses?!

    DoeRN replied to Anna-s's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've always been different. I have never started a new job expecting everyone to like me and make friends. I'm there to work and go home not to make friends. When I was a new grad I was paired...
