    Holding Lasix

    netglow replied to roxie144's topic in General Nursing

    Think of what Lasix does. As soon as you give it, ususally if IV the patient reacts quickly... how does it impact the patient's physiology? There in you have your answer, in what all needs to be...

    Worst potential employer experience ever!!!! Was it ok to call HR and say no thanks?

    netglow replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in General Nursing

    OP, if you don't like the vibe, how you are treated, what ever the case may be you can decide to just turn and leave. If you don't feel like explaining, that's fine too. Nobody is going to care either...

    netglow replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Charting Critique?

    netglow replied to LTV950rn's topic in General Nursing

    This person probably was given the task to "audit" charting. Your company is trying to stay out of trouble, and making sure that what all of you chart will pass whatever they fear of in the way of...

    What is the fate of the new graduate RN?

    netglow replied to Aubrianna's topic in General Nursing

    OP, yes it is hard. This situation for new nurses has been going on since I think early 2008. I remember when I was in school, word got out that the classes graduating before me were starting to run...

    Can't think, need help.

    netglow replied to Hinno's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Lots of real garbage jobs out there now too. If you've been out for a while, most places have got worse. I think going to school and family and work - all at the same time - if the job is not...

    Rheumatology

    netglow posted a topic in General Nursing

    Any of you work for a rheumatology practice? What is your day like? Curious, because someone I know often tells me that his rheumatology nurse is a godsend, to which I nod and say "I know that she...

    netglow replied to Blue2011's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah. See? Everybody can be nice and seem professional until they don't get what they want. Do what you want FIRST when it comes to job hunting. Remember you are totally the one who gets to decide if...

    Nursing shadowing

    netglow replied to beatris's topic in General Nursing

    It is hard to be allowed to shadow unless you are being seriously considered for a position with a particular hospital. People are way too stressed and short-handed here. However, I do heavily...

    netglow replied to Zookeeper44's topic in General Nursing

    I think too that sometimes it's just knowing the right people. The right people are not great clinicians or anyone like that. Far from it. It's gonna almost hands down be someone like... the unit...

    New Grad-Hate my Job

    netglow replied to ajb96278's topic in General Nursing

    Reality. You got hired because you: 1. Are cheap 2. Don't know how to protect yourself 3. Are easy to blame for anything that the practice needs to blame someone for, and they might if need be....

    Clinic nursing vs Hospital nursing

    netglow replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Don't count on perfect hours. As you say it's not floor nursing. Sometimes you are there for quite some time (hours) after the last patient even if the docs are on schedule. Depends on clinic type?...

    Bad Experience with Nurses at hospital, rethinking my major now.

    netglow replied to Lindsey-Student's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, you probably will not experience the kind of thing you did in your dental job as a nurse, much. You may if you work in plastics or closely with another type of surgeon. Somebody else might...

    Telling your head nurse that they...uhh.., sabotaging new staff?

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

    OP, sounds like you just were not receiving any sort of training. Leaving or just expressing you wanted to was a good idea. Sometimes it's not all "nice". You just have to express your frustration....

    netglow replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't be shocked. This is a great nursing job. You have done clinical and therefore know kindof who your patients will be. I'd just say to trust your knowledge and build on it. Look for a nurse who...

    netglow replied to Kristen75's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow. Very strange. I don't know what to say but just go with your instincts on what is right and wrong. This will keep your ship going in the right direction. Gather all and let them know about HIPPA,...

    New Grad as Facility Administrator in Davita?

    netglow replied to spunkiestRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's one thing if you had many years previous degree/career in an administrative role. If you have and this is not a clinical role what so ever, you might entertain what they have to say. But if you...

    netglow replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing
