    HESI APRN Patho

    MultipNP replied to adaezen's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi Alex, I did better than I expected. I felt like I had failed but I didn’t. While my grade still wasn’t what I consider “good” by regular standards, it was still a good bit higher...

    HESI APRN Patho

    MultipNP replied to adaezen's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am currently in Advanced Patho at USU. My first HESI is scheduled in a week and a half and they have given ZERO information as to how to study. I am not sure what is on a mid-curricular HESI so...

    Unfair treatment by co-workers/boss

    MultipNP posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am sure I'm not the only one experiencing this -- but I'm kind of in a bad situation. This will be long, so I'm sorry in advance! I am the breadwinner for my family, and have young children. There...

    Unfair treatment by co-workers/boss

    MultipNP replied to MultipNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Just an update: Since I posted this back in February, my husband has finished his degree and is now the breadwinner! I cut back to PRN -- and have loved being with my children more. Even PRN,...

    Did you get paid for your whole shift last night?

    MultipNP replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    We get paid the full 12. :-) Oh happy day! And when time goes backward, we get 13 hours of pay (as is fair).

    Why do managers succumb to butt-kissing??

    MultipNP replied to nickola's topic in General Nursing

    We are in the SAME situation at my work place. I don't think there's anything that can be done,

    "Rooming in" on Mother/Baby - not one size fits all

    MultipNP replied to LilyBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am so sorry to hear about this! I had very difficult labors as well -- but was not allowed to have my babies in the room at first because the nurse said, "you went through a lot and really need to...

    Nursing and abortions

    MultipNP replied to breakinglightx's topic in General Nursing

    So far, working in OB, I have not seen anything like this. I am pro-life as well, and could not be part of such a procedure. I am thinking that it depends on the facility and the doctors in

    Did anyone's spouses/partners etc...... have a problem with you becoming a RN?

    MultipNP replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband was very supportive when I went to nursing school -- and has been encouraging of my work as a nurse. Thankfully, he's in the medical field as well and has a pretty decent grasp of what...

    Advice on stress.

    MultipNP replied to iluvgr8danes's topic in General Nursing

    That depends on what stress you're talking about. I think it takes about a year after becoming a nurse to feel comfortable in your job. You will always have stress as a nurse -- but you will gain...

    What's the ONE best nursing tip you've ever received?

    MultipNP replied to Dempather's topic in Emergency

    Humility is important. Patients are usually receptive to a nurse admitting (s)he is not

    need help asap

    MultipNP replied to Adrian40's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds pretty typical of where I work, unfortunately. To "fit in" with the other nurses one must go out and join them by getting drunk to the point of doing really stupid things. I never did do...

    ~~NIGHT SHIFT~~

    MultipNP replied to EJSRN's topic in General Nursing

    I recommend taking in several healthy snacks, and being sure to eat every couple hours (eating healthy foods every couple hours is actually quite good for you -- and your metabolism!). I also...

    need help asap

    MultipNP replied to Adrian40's topic in General Nursing

    I have gone through a very similar situation. I tried to transfer off my unit at another hospital -- with no success (even though I did get an interview with another manager -- that went well -- then...

    Do you think your manager likes you?

    MultipNP replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    You are right. There are some very young managers who do very well. Our manager just isn't one of them. She is known for putting off her work on other people and treating us poorly in the process....

    Do you think your manager likes you?

    MultipNP replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    This describes our unit perfectly. There is definitely an "in crowd" who are better treated than others -- of a very small group of nurses. Our manager is very young, and hardly had to do any floor...

    NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    MultipNP replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I don't get true breaks, either, for most of the time. On nights that are exceptionally crazy, I'll write a "no lunch". But other nights, when the pace is steady, or more relaxed, I don't write it....

    Do you think your manager likes you?

    MultipNP replied to LilyBlue's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly don't know whether my mgr. likes me or not. At this point, the only reason I care is I want to have plenty of options should I move and need to find another job. Other than that, I must...

    Helping out those on the Dark Side

    MultipNP replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a great one to work with. I respect the education/experience behind the MD -- and I respect it even more in an individual who is humble and open to additional points of view! I work...

    Its Just not fair! Good Nurse getting fired (probably)

    MultipNP replied to funsizedliv's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Unreal! I am so sorry to hear about this. My first job was much like this -- and something very similar happened to me. Only AFTER everything did I hear from a doctor I respect, "I'm so glad you...

    Is it okay to dress like a "nurse"?

    MultipNP replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen a few where I work, as well. I don't think there's any problem with it. And I know that I've seen some nurse skirts advertised recently. Go for

    Christian Nurses/Nursing Questions

    MultipNP replied to is5512's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in a couple of "Christian" hospitals. I have to say there is no real difference. Only that in a Catholic hospital, you'll run into the occasional nun, and hear about mass, etc. But...

    Sick Leave Policy: What's Yours?

    MultipNP replied to Nurse!Nurse!Hello?'s topic in General Nursing

    I should probably add that I am one who NEVER calls out unless I absolutely have to. I usually don't even use my 2 calls per year. I had to use them -- and had to go over -- when I was having...

    "Writing up" use or abuse

    MultipNP replied to zuzi's topic in General Nursing

    On our unit, while some write-ups are a necessary evil, most of them are ridiculously petty. I often think it is an indirect way of nurses saying, "we really don't like you -- it would be best if you...
