Asking why I sound so angry doesn't make any sense. Why do people feel the need and feel so proud to be like that. If a employee is so horrible, then it will show at work. Sorry, I don't have those problems.

Sorry, I don't have those problems. Anyone that feels that they have to do something like this has too much time on their hands.

Your facility is way understaffed and I feel your frustration. 2 nurses and 1 aid for 15 patients is crazy. You are doing the best you can possibly do.

This question sounds like it's for a school project. Give me a break!

feel like it takes tremendous strength to be a nurse, and confidence, and calm, and emotional resilience, and I don't think I had enough of those things until now. I would like to pursue this dream, but I can't tell if I'm crazy. Have I really grown ...

My facility tried that crap. Going room to room and talking in front of the patient. How would you feel if two people were talking about you in front of you. This also puts us in a pickle when they stop and say what is this that etc. We cannot interp...

I get to work 30 minutes before my shift starts. If I can get my report, check my patients then check my MARS I'm doing good. The nurses that get there at 7pm (which is shift start) are way behind waiting for a computer to use to check their MAR and ...

Heparin/ zithromax/ potassium plus many others.

It takes 2-3 years to feel more comfortable. Keep up with education classes and looking up medically related things. You'll get the hang of it.

The position is dangerously short staffed. Run the other way.

It really doesn't matter either way. I am amused at your preceptor thinking she's "miss sterile". If it was you'd have a sterile field and sterile gloves etc. Washing your hands and putting on clean gloves, yes of course. But her thinking is ridiculo...

Facebook friends should include like minds. Which does not include anyone from your job or that has any association. My personal life is private. My page is locked and my posts are not shown. Many times employees have tooled around the internet and t...

1. i am extremely detail oriented and tend to gravitate toward projects that others would consider "busy work." while i have no ltc experience, i am a quick learner. 2. i would love to be able to make a difference in this facility and ensure that the...

Forget it. Buy a pair of dress pants and dress shirt buttoned up.

The company is not worried about any negativity by the nurse (either is the customer) they are just using the nurse till they find a replacement. The agency wants the customers money and does not care if the accusations are true or not. They want to ...

A hospital video is hardly a "position". I think you're looking into the importance and magnitude of it and magnifying it by 1,000. Many workers are in it and not for any grand reason. I also do not see your placement in that department as some maste...

Many new grad nurses or even young nurses have a hard time starting out. We have all been there. I think all you wanted was to vent, receive advice and maybe some kind words of encouragement from your colleages. The last thing you need is nasty and s...

You shouldn't even entertain her nonsense. The only thing you need to say is no.

Anytime a call comes into my facility and asks for results I simply state "Nurses cannot give results only the medical Doctor". Anytime you give results you may be interpreting which is out of our scope. I know you meant well and this has happened to...

Med/Surg Oncology is a amazing opportunity! Med/Surg gives you the base for all departments. Do not be envious of the ED. With the knowledge you gain from Med/Surg you can do anything, and Oncology is the icing on the cake! Stay where you are!

There are several posts here staing that a pelvic exam,pap smear etc. is out of our scope.This was simply an example of a R.N. doing a pelvic exam without a doctor.

I think you need to read the original post. Your reply to me does not make sense. Thank You, Pamela

I would imagine some behavioral medications and anitcoagulant antidotes.

I worked nights too I know how you feel. Put your request to work part time in writing and submit it to your manager, keep a copy for yourself. Or if you find a day job give notice. If your having trouble with getting a hospital job try hospice or ho...

First look immediately for a new job, your a R.N. there are jobs! Report her to the labor board! Then to H.R. and the CEO SHE NEEDS TO BE REPORTED! NEVER LOOK BACK A LESON LEARNED!
