  1. Is anything at your work that puzzles you

    roser13 replied to pras's topic in General Nursing

    Not to mention the folks who try to cram ONTO the elevator before the current occupants exit. It's like salmon swimming upstream, trying to escape from the

  4. Do patients know a "good nurse"?

    roser13 replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In short, no they don't. Unless they are a part of the medical system (nurse, physician, etc) patients will judge their nursing care as they judge hotel staff: friendliness, availability, response...

    roser13 replied to pras's topic in General Nursing

  9. Travel Nursing Agencies for Nursing Students/ Nurse Techs

    roser13 replied to Wayne876's topic in Travel

    By nurse tech, do you mean CNA? Student nurses traditionally are employed as such while they wait to take NCLEX or wait for results. There is no reason for a travel agency to hire student nurses. As...

  10. How many jobs/units until you found your "niche"

    roser13 replied to Michellelove's topic in General Nursing

    4 jobs: Med-Surg x 3 years. Gave me panic attacks. Made me crazy that I couldn't take care of my patients as I wanted to and should have been able to. Could never have achieved my subsequent...

    roser13 replied to PrincessZ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. ANA membership?

    roser13 replied to smurphymiller's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You might ask the moderator to correct your title to ANA, not AMA. You'll likely get more responses than if folks think you're asking about the American Medical

  15. Assertiveness

    roser13 replied to 11joinson's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with the PP. Assertiveness comes with experience, not with position. In fact, I think taking on a managerial position would require more assertiveness on your part because more folks will be...

    roser13 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    So happy for you, klone! What a wonderful, appreciative bunch of co-workers! I work in a facility too large for that type of show of gratitude. In fact, Nurses Day/Week has been hijacked by...

  19. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

    roser13 replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1. Something happened (a twist, a fall) 2. Pain 3. No bones sticking out. No blood. 4. Put your foot up, add ice. (Routine advice found in any Google search or home health book) 5. Call the doctor...

  21. prereqs for accelerated BSN

    roser13 replied to hiii's topic in General Nursing

    Question: Why go for your BA in liberal arts if Nursung is your goal? I think that the answer to your question lies with the facility(ies) that you will attend. What pre-reqs are required for your...

  23. Why do some nurses come across to be rude?

    roser13 replied to mathboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why are some teachers rude? Why are some engineers rude? Because some folks are rude. It's that simple. The best way to deal with it? The same way you deal with a rude retail clerk or a rude...

  24. Nurses have an Attitude Problem

    roser13 replied to SunriseDay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Young + Unhappy does NOT = license to spew vitriol on others. Or others' profession. Anyone young and unhappy enough to be this aggressive on an online forum deserves what he/she
