    bossynurse101 replied to lenjoy03's topic in General Nursing

  6. Nurses showing up late for work.

    bossynurse101 replied to justmanda's topic in General Nursing

    A "whiner" huh? If you're a whiner, then I guess all of us working moms trying to do the responsible thing are in that category. When my third grader is bringing home geometry, two hours late IS a...

  9. Nurses will do the CNA job

    bossynurse101 replied to bongids's topic in General Nursing

  11. What is the biggest piece of advice you have for nursing students?

    bossynurse101 replied to ton343's topic in General Nursing

    This is what helped me: 1. Find a study partner(s) 2. Dont memorize - try to get to the bottom of the principle instead. I made the mistake of "faking" it through A&P I and by the time I got to...

  12. Nasty co-workers??

    bossynurse101 replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm this is a "meaty" topic. I used to think it was a female thing til I worked with a few male nurses who were just as bad. I think nursing might be worse (have some really toxic coworkers) than...

  13. Ideas for bedside shift report

    bossynurse101 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others regarding giving report (within earshot) in the actual room. HIPPA laws are very strict. Also, God knows some people will prob take notes for later so they can call Mulligan...

    I just want to say that I am sorry this happened to you. It happened to me not to long ago and I had to go to my car to cry. It HURTs when someone that I am trying to help turns on me (family or...

  15. Ideas for bedside shift report

    bossynurse101 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Depends where you work I guess. Some places EVERYTHING falls on the shoulders of the nurse managers. Some places the Medical Records person would and rightfully should. Ultimately, it is the DON's...

  16. Is it a good idea to be a CNA before being an RN???

    bossynurse101 replied to SweetLadyJ's topic in General Nursing

    Kudos to anyone willing to be a CNA. Probably the toughest and least paying job I had. But you know what? It made me a better nurse. Something about walking a mile in someone else's shoes. You...

  18. Ideas for bedside shift report

    bossynurse101 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Suggestion. As a former nurse manager, I had to monitor the number of "holes" in the MARs. One of the things we did to remedy this was to require the nurses to use the MAR when giving report to the...

  19. What factors do you think have changed that has an impact on healthcare

    bossynurse101 replied to nursingsteph's topic in General Nursing

    bossynurse101 replied to EleRico's topic in General Nursing
