    Should I leave or stay?

    Awesome $ that is when you can work. I have a friend that got screwed with this. Same boat but less money. Didn't qualify for any facility benes or edu. She would sometimes work nothing one week, then...

    Vent about psych admit of 12 yo boy

    Totally agree with you there. But I'll add that the Mom is not really aware of your presence entirely... do you know what I mean? You were there, speaking with them, and she hears and sees you but...

    Vent about psych admit of 12 yo boy

    I think that as parents there is fear and guilt. This 12 yr old with that "third option" comment shows he is probably a little more intelligent and possibly dangerous than you yet know. His parents...

    NOW how does it feel???

    I don't see what was so dastardly about what you did. So he has to prime some tubing If it was time he'd be doing that anyway no matter the shift. But if he is not being a team player, I'd have said...

    Nursing Future?

    Sure you could find an fast nursing program. But you will pay $$ for it, as well as likely find yourself without a job when you graduate. So. If you can pay cash, and coast on savings and have a...

    Rn hurt by cold behavior

    That's one thing I've known, never let a nursing employer know you have an ill family member, or have illness yourself. That will be the start of the end of your job or, it will be the reason you do...
  12. Here is a reason for you, sometimes it's better to cry than to pull a gun out and blow a jerk's head off. I'd prefer crying to that, myself, if I was on the receiving end. I'll take criticism if it's...

    Advocate System?

    I have not interviewed with them but I passed the test. You must take it as if you are not experienced - not a Chief. You, are a little indian. This no matter what your background or expertise is. You...

    Not so secret secret about Adovcate: You will be told to formally apply and take the test... you will pass no matter what you click for answers -- that is, if you have a connection. It's all just for...
  19. I don't care about the "girls" thing. If they are girls, they are. Oracle, Your MA needs to continue her edu. if she wants a broader scope within your practice. Simple. It's all on her, just like it...
  20. A little info. When I was getting my shots/draws etc. prior to starting clinicals in nursing school, I had them done at the college because it was cheap. I hit it off with the school nurse who knew...

    Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    OK, resurrecting this thread per another thread multiple requests. Sadly, I have nothing to contribute at this point in time, but others who do are encouraged
  22. But you do know those sweet but oh so stupid folks that you can't help but feel sorry for. Nothing you can do to help but give 'em a heads up to start looking. But, having said that, those sweet...
