    Feels like a slap in the face...

    chicookie replied to MECO28's topic in General Nursing

    It could also be that the manager already had someone for that position. It happens. Don't feel bad. Keep trying! I'm sure you will find something and maybe that will be a better fit for you than that...

    chicookie replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in General Nursing

    ROFL that was hilarious! But its true though. My boss was telling me when we were looking for a new person that he had to interview a few. I don't know the reason behind it but I find it stupid! But...

    Blood transfusions??? just say no...

    chicookie replied to macgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think you misread what I wrote. If you notice I said that I did check the vitals and I did all the paperwork for that patient. I even went down to the blood bank and got it... My example of the...

    Blood transfusions??? just say no...

    chicookie replied to macgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak for any place other than the US, and from my knowledge the whole "only RN" on duty just doesn't happen. It just amazes me that a profession whose ideal concept is to be a compassionate,...

    chicookie replied to butterfly134's topic in General Nursing

    What are you best work tips?

    chicookie replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Stay away from nursing groups on the floor. Be nice to everyone, you never know you is going to save your behind! Use technology. My iPhone was a huge help to me. I had med info on there, I would set...

    chicookie replied to lee_sHAY's topic in General Nursing

    magnet status: does it really mean a better place to practice?

    chicookie replied to suanna's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I feel about Magnet Status: It only applies to administration. On the actual nursing floor half the nurses don't know and the other half don't care. At the end of the day its just extra...

    Almost done with nursing school..but......

    chicookie replied to RedXIII_'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it should be an issue. Its easy to cover, and on some floors I have been on no one really cares. When in doubt just cover it just in case and when you are sure that it is acceptable then...
