    Kindly disspell these rumors about Kaiser

    netglow replied to mikeworksRN's topic in California Nursing

    I used to not believe the scuttlebutt about a facility just because the information seemed so "out there". But I have had people I know to be truthful end up working for some places I've heard about...

    Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    netglow replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Op, you need to deal with the fact that you will need to follow the orders of NPs PAs as well as MDs. I think, you are unhappy that you are second fiddle in your own mind. This will never change for...

    Is anybody else tired of the nurse practitioner craze?

    netglow replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'll add that I had to wait quite some time to see this NP. She has a following. All waiting patients said they never go to MDs for first impression on things much anymore. This NP will send them (and...

    netglow replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Last physical I had was with an NP. Now that's a physical exam baby. Never had such an involved H to H. We talked about me cutting back on the coffee (how to do it) and trying to destress. We talked...

    Areas that are hiring RN's??

    netglow replied to gaylarn4's topic in General Nursing

    Well shoot. I am "out there" on the net. I get stuff almost daily from people looking for the type of experience that I do not have. If I get something of your sort, I'll send you the link

    netglow replied to opossum's topic in General Nursing

    I would have the conversation. I will warn that if I don't wake up, the pain might wake them up, and I don't want that to happen, that it is not fun to suddenly be in pain. If they have been receiving...

    Code Blue Teams for Medical Office

    netglow replied to Sierramnq's topic in General Nursing

    I'd set up a meeting with the MD director over at the ER across the street. Figure out a plan, and what they might recommend you all do. I don't think then that ACLS is appropriate. Just be sure...

    S/O of 'just not that into you' - want feedback from other nurses as to what happened

    netglow replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Klone, I totally feel that "no call after the hot date". I myself just had an extremely hot date. Thing is that, if it is a specialty that you haven't done before, you kind of cannot help feeling you...

    Ever have a patient that "turns" on you?

    netglow replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    Word! But also I find those who over-praise also can be in fear of poor treatment. I remember one LOL in private practice who would just go on and on with praise. I could see she also was a worrier,...

    OK.... so we cannot just post a link to an actual post... I'll just say that it is thoroughly cute to read some of the threads in the Men in nursing forum. Like the one about fashionable scrubs. Sorry...

    did the Dr. have a right to scold this nurse?

    netglow replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    At what I know to be crappy hospitals, it is common to threaten punishment for RR or code calling. Recently a friend of mine had consulted her charge re a "situation". Her charge threatened her not...

    netglow replied to Lurker011's topic in General Nursing

    20 BPM is cause for alarm. Calling a code? It's hard to calm oneself in order to look quickly for trend and meds. If patient is a full resus, 20 is just as easy into asystole with pathology. The...

    Diversity

    netglow replied to BABYJADE06's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I care. If I see that there is not a healthy mix I notice that right away. What I don't like is when an entire hospital is 80%+ nurses of the exact same racial/ethnic background. This is a very bad...

    I'm the office manager and "his wife"

    netglow replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and about the other nurse, he told me the circumstances of her leaving. It's sensible (without giving too much out). He also told me the correct amount of time she had been working there.

    netglow replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Well, she wasn't there. But it went very good. I was the first interview. I am not experienced in that specialty but, he WANTS to teach me. It's highly technical and I will eventually have a lot of...

    netglow replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks all responders!!!! Notes taken! I will see if I can bring up the "do you guys get along?" stuff. I won't get to see the office during a normal day. So, I won't get to sense a vibe. This I know...
