  1. evil.. just so evil...

    NeoPediRN replied to nurse441's topic in Psychiatric

    So elderly patients have the right to illness, but psych patients do not? As if patients who are mentally ill have some kind of control over the illness if they're not elderly? That is basically what...

  2. evil.. just so evil...

    NeoPediRN replied to nurse441's topic in Psychiatric

    Lkwashington, you are going to find poor patient care in all aspects of nursing. It is usually a reflection on the individual, NOT on the career field as a whole. To make a general statement saying...

  3. Time to call a duck a duck?

    NeoPediRN replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If I may ask, does it really matter? Labor or profession, we are all college-educated individuals whose goals remain the same - to give quality patient care. Being a labor vs. a profession does not...

    NeoPediRN replied to nurse441's topic in Psychiatric

    For someone who can barely type the English language you sure don't have a problem using it offensively. Lazy or crazy, huh? I've worked per diem in pediatric psychiatry for two years and find the...

  6. Employed '09 and '10 grads: Are you where you wanted to be?

    NeoPediRN replied to Lovely_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nope. I wanted to do PICU, NICU, or ER that had both adults and children. I currently work in a post ICU rehab setting, on a NICU/PICU stepdown...so it's close, but not quite there. I'm currently...

    NeoPediRN replied to EviS123's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Dance4life, check out Texas based hospitals. They are a state that still has a nursing shortage for the most part, and hospitals there often assist with

  9. Tonight's Boston Med: nurses featured!

    NeoPediRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe that intern had been getting under their skin for awhile. Maybe she had screwed up a bunch of times. From what we saw of that episode it seemed like the intern was dragging her feet on ordering...

  10. Tonight's Boston Med: nurses featured!

    NeoPediRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    She needs to grow up because she knows how to have fun and loves her job? She can obviously run a code and is clearly respected by her coworkers. She was MGHs ER nurse of the year twice. When you can...

  11. how to work in Massachussetts

    NeoPediRN replied to EviS123's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    No, being male doesn't give you any advantages, and most candidates have a bachelor of science in nursing anyway. Very few hospitals are hiring associate-prepared nurses currently so yes, I think...

    NeoPediRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Pat, I take it you nust never plan to work in the ER. It's easy to know it all about patient care when you're doing it from an outside perspective. Until you get some experience you don't know what...

  15. Tonight's Boston Med: nurses featured!

    NeoPediRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    She said "how about 2.5 since they come in 5mg/1ml?" She didn't demand that dose be written for. 1mg of Haldol is as useful as injecting water. The resident's superior agreed because he stepped in and...

  16. Tonight's Boston Med: nurses featured!

    NeoPediRN replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    She's my hero. As a Boston nurse who previously worked in an ER, the halls are lined with regulars and college kids who are always drunk. The kid featured had been hospitalized more than once before...

  17. Interview for Mother Baby unit! Help with learning postpartum nursing.

    NeoPediRN replied to geekgolightly's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think a lot of that is worth a mention. It will surely come up as a reason why you want to change to this field. I share a similar personal experience as you and it motivated me to want to do...

    NeoPediRN replied to jenfromjersey's topic in Emergency

    I work in pedi and the moonlighters are generally ICU residents/fellows from one of the larger area childrens hospitals. Some are NICU residents. We have a couple of excellent ones, but for the most...

  21. "DON'T RUB THEIR LEGS!"

    NeoPediRN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Um...I guess my question is if they're at such high risk for blood clots why don't they have sequential compression devices on? The only time you wouldn't want to is if there's evidence that a blood...

    NeoPediRN replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think it's important for people to realize the health care reform didn't come from free money. There were a lot of budget cuts and taxes involved. You can clearly see who's feeling the brunt of it....

    NeoPediRN replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Please please just research the info on this forum. There's so much out there that has been repeated many times. Also, as a general FYI, it's difficult for us to give advice to people who are years...
