  1. hoping I get hospice position. any advice?

    ANH_RN posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    hey all! haven't posted on here in a while. I have been doing some job searching and I came across a couple positions at a hospice facility. I have been doing med-surg for over 4.5 years and I feel...

  2. hoping I get hospice position. any advice?

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    thank you so much! To be honest I really do not know what the position is like. On the site it just says staff RN, nothing about CM. I was anticipating it to be more of an inpt unit, which is what I...

  3. Hoping that I get hospice position. Not sure what to expect. Any advice?

  4. Lots of blood... starting IV's HELP!

    ANH_RN replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Just press down on the arm a little harder next time. I normally have to put a lot of pressure on the arm above the catheter insertion site to keep it from gushing out. Usually it works long enough...

  5. Chest pain do you need an EKG order?

    ANH_RN replied to usRNs's topic in General Nursing

    In our facility the standard is if the patient suddenly complains of chest pain we call a 'rapid response' and a couple ICU RN's come over and that automatically gives us the right to obtain an EKG....

  6. Oxygen Question

    ANH_RN replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would have dropped the oxygen down just a touch but I wouldn't have worried too much if I hadn't, either. It's not like he was on 10 liters and was being blasted away with oxygen....

  7. How in the freaking world are you a nurse???

    ANH_RN replied to Daisy_08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    :rotfl: Sometimes I seriously wonder if people I work with have this same belief. It is so sad to see that there are actually nurses who are taking care of human beings and their lives that present...

  8. Night Shift Differential

    ANH_RN replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    presumably I would think this is how it works. the whole increase doesn't happen too often in my dept in my hospital though. We've gotten 2 raises and I've been there 3 years now. The second raise...

  9. Night Shift Differential

    ANH_RN replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Before our hospital joined another company we were paid $4 7p-7am. Now that someone else has kind of taken over we get 15% of our base pay which I took a pay cut by now only receiving $3.30 an hour....

  10. Sick of all of the bullying.

    ANH_RN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just have to get something off of my chest.. I have been guilty of talking about other people behind their back but I am downright shocked at the amount of bad mouthing that goes on in my hospital...

  11. Sick of all of the bullying.

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had already planned on handling it just how you 'told me' to.

  12. Sick of all of the bullying.

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think of bullying as putting down a person on a personal level not just how they do their job. They also act out their aggression to their face and are not polite. I see that as being a bully. And...

  13. Sick of all of the bullying.

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think that says it

  14. What are your thoughts on working PRN on top of FT?

    ANH_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I haven't posted on here in a while! But I am currently a full time RN at a local hospital med/surg/tele unit. We were recently bought out/joined to a certain health network and I am now making .70...

  15. What are your thoughts on working PRN on top of FT?

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Update: I had the interview and I think it went great but the person I spoke to said that they didn't know if they would want to put so much effort into hiring and orienting someone that is only...

  16. "They give the meds, we do the care"

    ANH_RN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    So apparently giving meds and monitoring the reactions of those meds and assessing the pts and how they are progressing and having the skill to know when the pt is not doing well is not considered...

  17. Charge nurse and take patients?!!!

    ANH_RN replied to reddellrn's topic in General Nursing

    Hah, I had never heard of charge nurses NOT having a full pt load until someone mentioned it a few months ago. At our hospital, on our floor, we each take 4-5 starting out. A bad night we'll end up...

  18. What are your thoughts on working PRN on top of FT?

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks GM, I can't imagine being hired to two jobs at the same time! I just hope they are flexible with the orientation because I believe I would be a great addition to their staff if they work with...

  19. What are your thoughts on working PRN on top of FT?

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am just wondering for your PRN people with other jobs... how did you go about orienting to the facility?? Do they orient you once a week or part time like twice a week for so many

  20. What are your thoughts on working PRN on top of FT?

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in General Nursing

    We have a float pool and I would say 2-3 people get VCD's every other day (voluntary call day for low census)... and they do NOT want us to stay later than 7:30 AM because they are crazy about...

  21. What are your thoughts on working PRN on top of FT?

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in General Nursing

    haha if I could get just any PT job other than nursing then my husband would be working extra not me. The only reason we're resorting to PRN work is because he is having a hard time finding a little...

  22. What are your thoughts on working PRN on top of FT?

    ANH_RN replied to ANH_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Also how do they do orientation for just prn nurses?? Do you normally orient once a week for so many weeks or what? I'm assuming most people they hire prn have either part time or full time work...

    Thanks for the comments! so far I am feeling

  24. Encouraging words to New Grads and Newer Nurses

    ANH_RN replied to SummerGarden's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Baptized in fire... what a true yet wonderful choice of words! No one became a great nurse floating on clouds. It's hard to remember that sometimes, but we must keep reminding each other of

  25. Another not coping thread....

    ANH_RN replied to Michelle123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My first night out of orientation on my own was the worst night of my life. The family of a patient that I admitted even told my manager the next day that she didn't anymore new nurses. It was that...
