    This happened to me, I had a patient that I had a great rapport with, I had her smiling and laughing and everything. Then I had to draw her blood and she nearly hit me and went crazy. Then when she...

    Is Nursing really THAT bad???

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    I have only been on the floor for a couple months so my opinion probably doesn't really count since I will be told I have rose colored glasses on; but so far, I love my job. Some days aren't as good...

    Sitting down to calm an upset patient is unprofessional?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to kristandrews's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We are ENCOURAGED to SIT when we talk to the patients. In our orientation they tell us that if we can to try and pull up a chair and just really talk to the patients. That standing makes you seem...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to jrsmrs's topic in Patient Medications

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at Kinder care too! My second job was a waitress at Denny's on night shift when I was 15 also. My boyfriend though made me quit that job. When I was 16 I got a job at McDonalds and it was...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Nursing

    Subway when I was 15. I loved their sandwiches and I didn't really have anyone buying food for me or taking care of me, so I decided I would get a job there so I could eat their sandwiches for free....

    If you won the lottery would you still work in health care?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to nola1202's topic in General Nursing

    Hard to know what you would really do, but I would need to still do something that involved helping people. I couldn't just sit around doing nothing. I enjoy

    How does your unit staff for census? Standby (on call) versus called off

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to I<3H2O's topic in General Nursing

    From what I understand ours are done by the same time. 0500 and 1700 and if we have an extra person (which we have had a lot lately with census low) they will have the option to float to another unit...

    New grad looking to relocate to Colorado and looking for advice

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to theald's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I agree that the market is very competitive and I think you do need to stand out. I went on an interview for a hospital within a week of graduating and passing boards. I was offered the first job I...

    When an employee is a patient

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

    True, but being that the email said how his behaviour on the floor was to the nurses, I don't see how anyone else would have known about his behaviour had the nurses not been opening their mouth to...

    It wouldn't matter. If they did see his name they should have acted as if they didn't since he wasn't a part of their care. Since he was admitted on one unit and worked on another unit, I can't think...
