With the nursing shortage in America and the amount of unemployed nurses, I would say those companies delete applications like spam and shred paper applications to be made into toilet paper. Just my opinion.

Dont be insane! I have worked with the some great nurses and they took the NCLEX several times. You have been out of nursing school for a while but to those going to take it, I say this: You have been in nursing school for 2-4 years...

"Now if you think that was tough, I need 12 blood pressures."

"Wow! I am going back to doing chart reviews all day."

Whew! It's all done. Now where's my 100 dollars?

"But our facility just spent 500,000 dollars on a study that says this IS the best way to hold a stethoscope."

I think the story is alot deeper than just a pain med.

I had a physical therapist tell me all these problems with a resident and it was something that should have been called to the doctor. I asked the PT if she could call the doctor because she could explain it better and also because the information wi...

Yes, and it is worse when nurses report on nurses. Meanwhile you wonder why the eye drops are never even opened or last forever. The rehab aide now thinks they know more than you. Too much knowledge just creates monsters.

You and sally are one of those.....

Thanks again to ALL CNA's. I was a CNA. I became a nurse because I was tired of all the lazy nurses. "Oh can you go in room 225 and empty the urinal." My Lord empty it yourself. I hope nurses all realize that the first semester of nursing school deal...

She gave one Vicodin to a patient and now she is exercising her arms to document it in 6 different places.

for international graduates it says. submit copy of license or diploma of the country you were educated in. there is no way to take nclex without a diploma or license from another country.i think you need a social security number also.

go back to the philippines and get all the information. or take the boards there. that would be a lot alot cheaper than the tuition i paid here in the united states to go to nursing school.

OH YEAH... i would watch my back with that one. and wasting? if zero is there then there is zero to waste. that nurse better show me something or else i aint wastin it. no way no how seen this one before. that nurse is takin the spotlight off herself...

FYI: go to any and all state board disciplinary actions and see what nurses get disciplined for, from the mundane to serious. it is the mundane that disturbs me.

do what you think is right and necessary. pt gets 2 multivitamin-not a problem, patient gets 100units of regular insulin instead of 10-well somewhere along the the day like very soon, this patient is going to be foaming at the mouth and seizing, pati...

near miss...as in the 10 mile wide asteroid was a near miss to planet earth. it missed, we are here, nothing happened. but if its something that can be improved you should send an anonymous letter because if you dont then management will make sure yo...

hmmm...go read on any states nursing board and see what nurses lose their licenses for. there are cases ranging from stealing morphine to holding colace. if the powers that be want to get you...they will get you. so avoid being written up by followin...

give the med with lidocaine. patient could be allergic to dust on Mars. patient is NKA.

the patient was NKA.

and also dont trust any nurses. you dont need their trust. just do your work and you should be fine. if you need help then ask someone is fine and the right thing to do.but trusting that this one or that one will do this or that...forget about it. do...

anyway some experienced nurse probably gave this patient a warm pack but if it did cause a problem you will be the only one to fall.

this story makes me not want to reposition or fluff up a pillow without an order.

your preceptor should have made you put a line through your note and initial it. there is no such thing as nursing judement. you need an order to do things. although you will see nurses do things without orders and get orders later. i would rather ha...
