  1. Do I REALLY need a BSN?

    Guest343211 replied to myschuler's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Like it or not, it is what it is. The expectation is that you will adapt. What's the point of debating it. As was stated, it is what it is. It's mostly about politics and economics, one way or the...

    Guest343211 replied to imjustme123's topic in General Nursing

    Esme, Wow, you are the kind of nurse I'd hire everyday and twice on Sundays! This is EXACTLY what we need more of in nursing!!!! You are awesome. Keep it up! Are you a clinical instructor or...

  4. New RN, first med error. I need advice!

    Guest343211 replied to jordana888's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Too err is human; to not learn from it and move on would be the real crime. We've all been there. Remember the safety basics, and you will be fine. People aren't going to always be around to help...

    Guest343211 replied to menemsha's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    ^This

  6. Arrrgghhh, get the smell off!!

    Guest343211 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Bad GI Bleeders and people whose body systems are shutting down and are literally rotting within the unit. Very sad, but it happens. You walk into the unit, and you are overwhelmed by the smell....

  7. Is the nicu and nursery easy?

    Guest343211 replied to almostmadeit's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Again, ^This. Totally true. It amazes me how people think that you don't care for adults if you are a pediatric or neonatal nurse. Um, you have family-centered care--it doubles the stress load....

  8. Is the nicu and nursery easy?

    Guest343211 replied to almostmadeit's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Wow. Really? Are you kidding? Besides, 40's and 50's are still high energy years. Of course it can depend on the individual. I agree that you should let your mom worry about her career

  9. Is the nicu and nursery easy?

    Guest343211 replied to almostmadeit's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    ^This. Totally agree. Can be an incredibly stressful

  10. Advice on Dealing With Condescending Nurses Need

    Guest343211 replied to MotherRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Problem is that some folks still call that "being confrontational." I agree that it may not be, but it can and has been spun that way, and then the perception becomes that the nurse is...

  11. Not doing what I was hired for

    Guest343211 replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    No hate from this end. Just trying to understand is all.

  12. You and the Anesthesiologist disagree on pt care. Now what?

    Guest343211 replied to btoddrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well, there really isn't another information given. I know you have to be discreet, but it's a hard to make a judgment based on, well, no information. Where's the standard of practice and the...

  13. Have you ever witnessed this situation?

    Guest343211 replied to RNewbie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What HIPAA issues don't apply to pharmacies and pharmacists? Dude, the pharmacist needs a talking to, or someone somewhere up the ladder needs a talking to. I totally don't agree with their...

  14. Not doing what I was hired for

    Guest343211 replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I don't understand. What is it about the hospice patients compared with the palliative care patients that you like better? Don't they require documentation too? Wouldn't it be plausible...

  15. Advice on Dealing With Condescending Nurses Need

    Guest343211 replied to MotherRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh wow, I really hate when people do that. It soooo sucks. Um, 4 hours seems huge, what the? OK, I find that that's something, if done regularly, that impairs my ability to be productive, careful,...

  16. The first day off after 12's

    Guest343211 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in General Nursing

    Yes commuting is a major

  17. The first day off after 12's

    Guest343211 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I think the key here though is DAYS--if they are days. Nights just sucks the blood or something out of you. I know some people may like them, but the more you have scheduled the worse you...

  18. The first day off after 12's

    Guest343211 replied to Nurse ABC's topic in General Nursing

    I think the level of suckage for the 12's depends on how your schedule ends of rolling. If you are required to include Frid w/ you Sat and Sun and somebody decides to move your schedule such that you...

  19. Soooo, I quit

    Guest343211 replied to TX911's topic in General Nursing

    Too freaking true. Also, though, we got 3 and sometimes 4 ICU patients in many ICU. The difference was that we used to be able to fight it with pushing the acuity issue. Again, accuity somehow does...

  20. Soooo, I quit

    Guest343211 replied to TX911's topic in General Nursing

    Well, apart from taking fresh hearts out of the OR, many, many intensive care units that I have worked in, will, at various times, give you 3 patients. This was even true 20 years ago. Of course...

  21. Advice on Dealing With Condescending Nurses Need

    Guest343211 replied to MotherRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Patently untrue. How long have you been in practice? Seriously, it's hard to work in nursing and not learn about the weeding out process! This is especially true in more specialized areas, but it...

  22. Advice on Dealing With Condescending Nurses Need

    Guest343211 replied to MotherRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hey thanks hindsight. I don't think non-nursing people get why the harassing, office politics stuff is like a 100% worse in hospital clinical environments than in, well, an office. Sure, it's bad...

  23. Soooo, I quit

    Guest343211 replied to TX911's topic in General Nursing

    Dude! Major congratulations! You did have things turn in your favor, but be advised, this is not often the case. But in general principle, I agree with you. About the wrongful termination, well,...

  24. What would you say to this shocking patient statement?

    Guest343211 replied to aboucherrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Too too true SweetPEI. Nowadays, many of such folks will wait to be seen by a PA or NP. I'm sure if she pushed the issue, it would be different. It's the silly games that go on. People don't...

  25. What would you say to this shocking patient statement?

    Guest343211 replied to aboucherrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And usually the rest of society ends of eating the
