    Problems with the aging nurses

    netglow replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    I get ya OP, but here is some caution for you. Do you actually think that somehow this employee has missed the notice of your employer? Nope, not likely. They know her limitations. That right there...

    Thinking about renewing RN lic but......

    netglow replied to confusedinactiveRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you already know. I don't think there is an easy transition. Probably was easier in '99 what, with all the changes in healthcare and the sheer lack of nursing jobs

    Do unemplyed new Grads need continuiing education to renew their license?

    netglow replied to CP.60RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't read anything referring to licensure date of 5/31/2010. That reads to me as the date your CEUs will be counted as valid IF you are someone who is renewing for the second, and subsequent...

    New Grad released during orientation, HR uncooperative

    netglow replied to coolnurse42's topic in First Year After Licensure

    All above is true. Healthcare is pretty unprofessional. BUT, here is where they messed up. They have you in limbo. You are prepared to work. They have not terminated you, but you are not working and...

    I'm trying my best, but seriously stop putting me down on the phone

    netglow replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    Vicedrn, There is not a nurse on this earth who will make decisions based on what you've said. What I don't understand is why this is too difficult for you. If you are going to work, you just have to...

    A BIG pitfall of working office hours. warning long!

    netglow replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    OK, so. You go shadow and they offer/you take the new job. You come back to work and you get the "what was so important for you to take off?" from both of your loser co-workers. You say, "I had a hair...

    Male nurses student and skipping OB/L&D clinicals

    netglow replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree with all the above. OP, you sound so unsure of yourself in the ways of the world. I would highly suggest as others have said that you take a CNA course with clinical rotation and see if you...

    netglow replied to samiam4's topic in General Students

    Now, now. Don't get in a fluster!! People go into the hospital because they are sick. Many die. Sure you know that, but have you had time to realize it? Probably not. One minute fine, the next not so...

    instructor says nursing is not for me..

    netglow replied to Orlette's topic in General Students

    Meh. Sounds a bit like you've got a wacko instructor. You got to just play the game and get it done. Nursing school is just something to be

    netglow replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    Oh really? I guess I am stupid because I never knew that oral tylenol does not work on older patients. Remember it is not on you to please that nurse. Yours is to do what you know you need to do....

    somebody tell me what this is?

    netglow replied to unsaint77's topic in General Nursing

    Should have premed with Cipro, at the end they were gonna get her 500 of Cipro. I agree, saw the nose wiping, etc. I think she was good at "dealing" with all that, I could see her begin to double...

    Funniest thing you've ever seen happen to a doctor

    netglow replied to Guttercat's topic in Nursing Humor

    Ha Ha. That last one reminded me. When I used to work private practice, my boss was pretty hot I guess to "other" women. I thought a little too feminine, I digress... There were a few patients of ours...

    This must be a joke! Ugh.

    netglow replied to beeker's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Oh no! Maybe you can break the lease? Think about it. If you talk face to face and calmly and say that you are a nurse and worry that you might actually kill someone due to sleep deprivation if you...

    Bully?! Help,I need good comebacks!

    netglow replied to rn865's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can be a little more obnoxious about this sort of thing. I'd pull that tech aside and say, "Here, I know you are asking me because for some reason you don't know how, here's how... see???? it's...

    What is Nsg Dx, and Why Should I Care?

    netglow replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, NANDA is kind of like someone who continually wants to change the subject in order to ignore the elephant in the room. No, I'm not saying that we should be diagnosing. BUT, to be a nurse you need...

    netglow replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it's a male thing usually. My father, although he is in his 80's is quite able to speak for himself. But a few months ago I dragged him to the ER, I thought pneumo. He sat there at triage and...

    Lets stay on topic here: I am a firm believer in a minimum RN practice hour requirement for entry in to NP education/licensure. I want it to be about 10 years practice, maybe 7. Those in charge of the...
