    Nursing students...I can't believe...

    In the grand scheme of things. Nursing is a job. It's perfectly OK to know what kind of a job you don't see yourself ever doing. It's OK to use one part of a job as a stepping stone for another job....

    So irritated!

    The F word, repeated 3 times (say it like you mean it), has always helped me

    is this a safety issue?

    Safety? well, I guess. More like an order that needs clarification due to administration problem. Call him/her and let 'em know, maybe the order was was in error. I would need to call before I

    So disgusted with everything

    OP, you need to work here: https://allnurses.com/emergency-nursing/upfront-payment-non-641453.html Actually, you better have a reeeeeaaaaalllllly good triage. But if that's there, then sounds kinda...
  6. I will never write a thank you "note". Never personal little invite-like "thanks for the awesome baby-shower" --which is what that feels like to me, and nothing handwritten (OMG). But I've always...

    Nurse/Office Manager?

    I did this prior to my RN, but after my other career :) It's all together different. I walked in off the street and interviewed and got the job due to my prior business experience. Also helped that...

    what states NEED nurses ?

    There is a housing boom market race in Minot. Some news like MSNBC or somebody did a whole deal about Minot just recently. You pay absolutely crazy amounts for a home there, because there aren't...
  11. Yea, I bet either this guy you worked with didn't want you working there because he has re-invented himself :) and you'd be all, "Hey John, why are you acting so weird, and where did that english...

    ICD9 codes is a nursing duty?

    Well, so it goes. All those HIT students, and people with an OK career planned. They are going to school and paying out to get their AAS or whatever, but are probably being slowly removed from the...

    what states NEED nurses ?

    But you need to have some extra PPE in those towns. I think, it would be hard to fit a vest under my scrubs (probably would label you as whimpy), and a handgun would seriously pull down my scrub...

    giving iv argumentin

    If the Op is even a nurse... Hopefully she/he is working in a foreign country, and English is not the primary language. This would be the only excuse for the inability to communicate here. Don't know...

    Fired within 90 days... advice?

    Mindlor, you just have got to do a little "study-up" if you are going to enter nursing, even as a student you need to know what a BON is/does. And, as far as the world of healthcare goes, it ain't...

    Fired within 90 days... advice?

    Not true.
  18. Here is what you do if you can. Call the Dr. office and ask to shadow for a few days! You will see how the Drs and the nurses interact with each other. Great if you also could do this at the hospital...
  19. Sometimes, you were never in the running to begin with. They already know who they are going to hire, that person is VERY connected. But, to appear to be EEOC, they will cattle call you in and be nice...

    No, I am not going to do that

    Sheesh, that happened to me too. The guy was ambulatory and just about to D/C. He walked to the bathroom and wanted me to come help him. I thought he meant because he was unsteady still while...

    EBP and Nursing Research

    Hmmm. In my ADN we did research/papaer/presentation. But I agree, it's not what I feel is true research, as I'd done in my previous

    Interview scenario questions

    I would not have stated a nursing diagnosis. Those are for school and otherwise silly people. What you do is state your course of action. 1. Re-assess patient: vitals quick physical assessment. Focus...

    new grad bad interview

  24. I don't have any problem understanding the OP. She is just making an observation of things as they are on average in nursing... your mileage will vary depending on the ride you have. :) I think she...
