  1. Has this happened to anyone before?

    rn-jane replied to rehab girl's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and it amazes me how people are so quick to blame you though it's someone elses goof and how nobody ever apologizes. Of course the whole staff thinks you just did not show up and you have to...

  2. How many miles/minutes do you drive to work?

    rn-jane replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    40 minutes each way. It's getting old and thinking going for lesser pay and less miles to

  3. Ideas to honor student at graduation who passed away

    rn-jane replied to Ferwhat's topic in General Students

    I think the roses are nice but maybe a big bouquet instead given to her mom with the pin and lantern. I think the moment of silence is nice maybe with a class mate that was close to her saying...

  4. How come t here are no Males RNs on a peds floor?

    rn-jane replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Jomo are you really 94? According to your profile you were born in1915? I can't imagine you are a nurse or a practicing one if that is correct. Of course it could explain your way of

  6. Preceptorship venting

    rn-jane replied to user.name's topic in General Students

    "Got lemons? Make lemonade!" I know corny saying but it is true. If you go in there with a sour attitude that is what you are going to get back. You didn't score well and those are the rules. Well...

  7. Failed NCLEX-RN for 2nd time!!! So Sad!

    rn-jane replied to Hopeful101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Many great nurses have failed their boards more than once and eventually passed. Okay you need to change your game plan, they usually give an analysis of types of questions you missed and assuming...

  8. How come t here are no Males RNs on a peds floor?

    rn-jane replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think in the past male nurses are not seen as compassionate, which is why a lot tend to work or, icu, er. I really don't think that is true, just a perception I think the public has with nursing. I...

  9. Embarassing Question

    rn-jane replied to mmgirlsmom's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should be very proud of who you have become. I worked with a young nurse engaged to be married about 6 years ago. She knew the guy for over ten years. 3 days before the wedding he...

  11. Med Error?

    rn-jane replied to navydad51's topic in General Nursing

    I would bring it to the don's attention that the patient missed the dose on the am shift. Technically you should not be the one in question with the med error. The one filling out the mar and...

  12. Don't know what to do. I just CAN'T. TAKE. THIS. ANYMORE...........

    rn-jane replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    All I can tell you is to hang in there. I graduated in 1997 when jobs were very scarce. It took me over 9 months to get a job, the hospitals had hiring freezes and even the best students could not...

  13. Disrespected by a fellow nurse

    rn-jane replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    I think when you go to the manager things can get out of control. People feel like they have been tattaled on and bad feelings can really develop whether it's in a conference with both of you or in...

  14. I can't take it anymore

    rn-jane replied to student200977's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to sugar coat this "Nursing is hard! and almost brutal in your first two years". I really believe the schools don't paint the real picture and new grads are so disillusioned by their...

  16. IV starts - losing blood return/can't thread catheter

    rn-jane replied to gwyn523's topic in General Nursing

    I agree don't practice on your self. It really serves no purpose other than you bruising up your own arms. I usually when I get the flash, take off the tourniquet, thread it gently, flush and then...

  17. Anyone experience muscle pain from work?

    rn-jane replied to SICUteam's topic in General Nursing

    I think your body does get used to it, but some days it is torture. I've done this 12 years and depending on how many people i lift, beds I push or just bend over to put slipper feet on all I think...
