  1. "Fired for NO Reason"

    bestbabynurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The good thing is that some of the new nurses that want to 'get it' are posting their thank you's and requesting clarification on this site so they can start to 'get it'. I am very impressed by the...

  2. "Fired for NO Reason"

    bestbabynurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This is one of those 'funny but not' stories. I remember when I first started on the tele floor, I was taking my time filling out the paper assessment when I noticed the block for "positive pedal...

    I'm new at this and I have a question...is this near the longest running

  4. "Fired for NO Reason"

    bestbabynurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I feel so wishy-washy because I am a seasoned old nurse:bugeyes:, but I remember my first year like yesterday. I was a brand new nurse hired with seven other new grads to the same telemetry floor-...

    Ruby, looks like you had a rough couple of months. Hope you take some time to rest up a bit. Been there. Take care of yourself

    bestbabynurse replied to Saifudin's topic in General Nursing

    Now that was really funny kmoonshine! Who said hyster???? OK it was. And Dilaudid is good stuff by the way. One of my co-workers paid for a real massage from the massage therapist who provides the...

  7. Back Rubs

    bestbabynurse replied to Saifudin's topic in General Nursing

    OK I admit. I haven't done the hands on TLC stuff on a regular basis lately either d/t time constraints and the patient population (post partum) being younger and all. But, I was recently a surgical...

    bestbabynurse replied to kazzy220's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Oh my. Hats off to you!!! My years in nursing school was during my families all time low financially, and reading your posting caused many memories to come flooding back. It surely will be worth it....

  9. Everything I do is wrong!

    bestbabynurse replied to teensmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why was Miss fundal massage even there? Too be a star??? Or, was she low on 'drama'? Where on earth was your preceptor? She should have been with you and mom in a situation like that. And like others...

  10. RN - Evening and Weekend courses in Cleveland area??

    bestbabynurse replied to kazzy220's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Awwww. I miss Cleveland. Check all of the Hospital based (Huron Rd as suggested) and the Community colleges. Test out of what you can for your theory segment. That will shorten the time spent doing...

  11. "Fired for NO Reason"

    bestbabynurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with much of what you said, especially the respect part. Its hard for anybody to learn if they feel put on the defensive or embarrassed. However, I have seen my share of "wet behind the ears"...

  12. "Fired for NO Reason"

    bestbabynurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If those are your concerns (how you are perceived by veteran nurses) you already stand out from the crowd. There are new grads that are respectful, know how to take instruction and seem to have it...

  13. "Fired for NO Reason"

    bestbabynurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Part of the problem seems to be that less is required. Critical thinking can be taught. We learned it from researching in order to write a process paper; preparing for our assigned patients (looking...

  14. "Fired for NO Reason"

    bestbabynurse replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I really don't mean to stereotype but it seems the students now are kinda laid back. We were very afraid of what our instructors thought, what the nurses thought, making a mistake, even making a...

  15. What grade did you achieve in Chemistry and/or Anatomy?

    bestbabynurse replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

    I took those several years ago, and they were tough then too. I got A's, but I was unbelievably motivated. I had a family and no time to waste. A study partner; videos with the professor explaining...

  16. Do postpartum nurses assist with circumcision?

    bestbabynurse replied to moodyred01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Every day where I work and where I worked in the past. Some of the OB's complain that they have to do them as well. I would check like suggested, during the

  17. Travel Nurse to Hawaii

    bestbabynurse replied to applesRN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband and I went off the beaten trail in Hawaii, when we were there for my son's wedding. There are some places I would not feel so safe in. I guess it would take some planning. Its expensive...

    Just joined and considering new options at this late stage. Hawaii is one of the options I have been considering as my son and dtr-n-law just moved to Australia. I was thinking it would be nice to...
