  1. What would you have said to this CNA

    meluhn replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is mandatory that you report abuse to the BON. The DON would have gotten in trouble for ignoring an allegation of

  2. What would you have said to this CNA

    meluhn replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Had what happen to me? Be asked to do something I didn't want to do when I am already extremely busy, by someone who is over me at work? Actually that happens all the time. Everyone has to answer to...

  3. I would like to hear from some nurse recruiters on why no one can find a job.

    meluhn posted a topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I was just wondering what you guys are doing. I have applied to a certain large health system in NJ for a per diem position in another hospital in the same system I currently work in. With a bsn and...

  4. What would you have said to this CNA

    meluhn replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I disagree, the cna is subordinate to the nurse. She should do the tasks that are delegated by the RN, we are coworkers but their is a chain of command. This CNA should have been written up...

  5. Bright personality required??

    meluhn replied to cherryharlean's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with lovehospital. Overly cheerful, phony people get on everyones nerves. You don't have to be talkative or peppy. That nurse that told you that was probably passively aggressively saying...

  6. What would you have said to this CNA

    meluhn replied to zofran's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a cna where I work that is a constant problem, never does what you ask him, always hides out, ignores it when he is paged, tries to "wait you out" until you finally have to do what you asked...

  7. Pregnancy Denial-- a real psychological disorder?

    meluhn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is so strange. On one hand, you know this lady cannot be right in the head but where do we draw the line between having a mental disorder that excuses this sort of thing and making her...

  8. I would like to hear from some nurse recruiters on why no one can find a job.

    meluhn replied to meluhn's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I am not sure what this has to do with the original question or how this post got so far from the topic but since you brought it up...While I agree with you that team work is essential, I will not...

  9. in need of advice after getting fired

    meluhn replied to matt59's topic in General Nursing

    Matt, I think if you do tend to be a litle rough around the edges you might be better off in a place that is more structured and not so dysfunctional. If you are already not "Nancy Nurse", it is...

  10. No such thing as a stupid nurse

    meluhn replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

    i have seen nursing students who were passing and were barely literate. as their instructor i was shocked and appalled at the way they wrote when i gave a writing assignment. their reading...

  11. Are nurses treated as terribly as people imply?

    meluhn replied to kprince's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on where you work. I love the MDs and staff that I work with now. I have worked with Mds that were condescending jackasse$$ too. We dont get treated badly as much as taken for granted...

  12. i need some info on moving to NJ and nsg in NJ pls

    meluhn replied to azor's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I am wondering what part of the state you live in that you had such a bad experience. There is a huge difference between say Bergen County and Cape May. DINER FOOD

  13. 3 dui's in mi

    meluhn replied to lifeistweet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It often takes a monumental event to get an addict into recovery. This is what did it for him. He went straight into a court ordered month long tx program as well as a short stint in the county jail...

  14. 3 dui's in mi

    meluhn replied to lifeistweet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I am sorry for your loss and I understand now why you feel so strongly about DWIs. I would be outraged if I lost someone I loved to a drunk driver. I don't want to sound like I dont think it is a...

  15. 3 dui's in mi

    meluhn replied to lifeistweet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I just have to say something to this. I would never ever drive drunk at this point in my life. If I do drink I always have someone sober to drive me home. However, the only reason I made a...

  16. 3 dui's in mi

    meluhn replied to lifeistweet's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    In NJ it would be mandatory 10 year loss of license plus community

  17. shift differentials not as common as i thought?

    meluhn replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    I could be wrong but I thought there was some law about working below what your license qualifies you to do. When I got my RN license I still had an LPN license but could not work as an LPN or so I...

  18. New grad starting first job

    meluhn replied to AllSmiles225's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You will not have to give meds to 60 pts on 7-3 unless it is an assisted living facility. If you do, look for another job. It is more likely that you will give meds to 30 of them. This will take you...

  19. New Grad Starting Job on June 15th NEED TIPS

    meluhn replied to kamilee03's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would suggest leaving a current med surg text book to use as a reference book in your locker or break room. Sometimes procedures or dx come up and you have forgotten what they were all about. Not...

  20. Public Health grad degree??

    meluhn replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    An MSN can be in public health among other things like clinical administration, research, education, not to mention the nurse practitioner tracts. There are many different types of MSNs, you just...

  21. i need some info on moving to NJ and nsg in NJ pls

    meluhn replied to azor's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    As a life time NJ resident I found your insight both interesting and slightly harsh. As far as the cost of living and property taxes, you are absolutely right. If my husband didn't have a good job,...

  22. Help!! Mom had a stroke!

    meluhn replied to scooby72's topic in Rehabilitation

    Scooby, Sorry to hear about your Mom. It sounds like she is doing relatively well under the circumstances. The thing I love about rehab nursing is that people leave better off than when they cam in....

  23. Nursing Major Environment

    meluhn replied to alyxoxo82's topic in General Nursing

    Your reply got me wondering how they do it in other countries. Do you train in a specific area and then you only work in that area like an md? What country are you from? Sorry, I know this is off...

  24. women working with women, why its so hard

    meluhn replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    It is funny that you said that because the one person that I mentioned that has a gossip problem was a hair dresser before becoming a nurse. Most of the RNs I work with do have ADN degrees, a few...

  25. women working with women, why its so hard

    meluhn replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Cheno, I think every floor or facility has their own environment and it is possible to have peace and harmony with the right group of people. The floor I work on now is probably the best team I have...
