    Kind of a rant, sorry!

    nyteshade replied to MECO28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Happens all the time, and yes, they usually call back after they've thought about it. However, if no response, and patient is really tanking I'd call a

    High School Project Help

    nyteshade replied to misswannabenurse's topic in Pediatric

    I second the above. To be more specific, typically if you work in a hospital you're looking at working 12 hour shifts 3 days or nights a week. This could be 7am to 7pm or vice versa. Other places...

    Looking for a good Online BSN program

    nyteshade replied to Kandyrain22's topic in Online Distance Learning

    When you say accelerated, do you mean you have a bachelor's degree in something else? Or are you a RN looking to complete a BSN? There are also LPN-BSN type programs too. Could you be a little more...

    Most employers won't even look at your resume without your Hawaii license number, so yes that may open doors when you finally get

    I hate what's happening to nursing...

    nyteshade posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Eight years. That is how long I’ve been in nursing. Just eight years. I haven’t been on AN in a while. I used to frequent the site a lot to vent with others, and help others with advice. Well,...

    Feeling really down in the dumps and friend-less in nursing school...advice needed

    nyteshade replied to willow298's topic in General Students

    The same exact thing happened to me in nursing school. Don't get caught up in their drama. To be honest with you, I haven't even seen those people from my AS program in

    Read this email my NM sent to all the nurses.

    nyteshade replied to GummibearsRN's topic in General Nursing

    In regards to the NM "giving" the power to send someone home for unprofessional behavior: from my experience, the nurse manager can delegate that ability to the charge if need be. That is why that...

    I don't mean to discourage you, but I recommend that you are fully aware of what you may be coming in to. Do a search on the this site regarding: management, patient satisfaction, disrespect, abuse...

    Confessions Of A Nurse With Poor Interpersonal Skills

    nyteshade replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I see nothing wrong with the O.P.'s first post. Nothing wrong with "playing the game" as I think everyone does it, though a stereotypical nurse bubbly may not think it's a game. What matters to me...

    Horrified at what I have seen go on in this nursing home

    nyteshade replied to butterflykisses23's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Chances are most people working there probably know this is going on. I would choose to report to an ombudsman

    The Disrespect Of Nurses

    nyteshade replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I totally agree. I think we should nip it ourselves, and call security or if it is that severe, police. Nurses must protect themselves first and foremost if we want

    vent on preceptor :( not ready to be off orientation but no choice..

    nyteshade replied to simplelc's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's tough being a preceptor...believe me I know. I totally see his thought process although it may seem bizarre. As a preceptor you don't want to see your preceptee fail, because it looks like a...

    Sorry OP that you felt this way about certain people where you work. Nursing should be more about being able to run a problem by a co-worker or two without

    Do you have to count lyrica at your LTC facility?

    nyteshade replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Lyrica is a schedule V controlled substance. It is counted.

    Nursing or OTA

    nyteshade replied to CountryGirl79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, no one can answer that. It appears major cities around the country are saturated with new grad nurses right now. I don't want to discourage you, and maybe the outlook will change in the...

    Nursing or OTA

    nyteshade replied to CountryGirl79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on what you feel will offer the most flexibility, I say that because I'm a nurse that has worked with many PT/OT/ST's and PTAs, OTAs. I can't comment on what their workload is like, but their...

    At the end of my rope...hate nursing.

    nyteshade replied to Brittany2206's topic in General Students

    Look, this field isn't for everyone. It's ok if you don't like it. My advice: finish your program, at least have a degree to show for. Perhaps you have other interests that you'd like to pursue?...

    nyteshade replied to blueshift's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took that same risk...in my case it worked out ok because the school ended up getting their accreditation in the middle of my program, and yes that counted for my degree. It depends on how much of...
