I was just wondering why it was so awful to discuss wages. i understand that some nurses have more experience and should get paid more than me. it just concerns me that one can be terminated from the job for discussing pay, when all you hear about is...

I wear Suacony- they have gel in the heal. it feels great. had them for a year now with no problems.

i think that "male" nurses are great. Unfortunantly there are not enough in the nursing field. One of the male nurses that i worked with as a cna inspired me to be a "female" nurse. I think that if anyone has a problem with "male" nurses they need to...

I agree with you mart24, she does hold grudges- i no longer work there. she did make life pretty difficult when she came in. She was quick to blame others. i went to the office manager, but that didn't do any good( they are freinds outside of work-wh...

I always beleived in scheduled lunch breaks-but they don't always work. i was always the one waiting for peple to return from their lunch so that i could go-worked in m.d. office. my doctor ALWAYS ran behind. by time they all got back i would get 1...

I could never do that-my heart goes out to you. next week can only be better. hugs :kiss -manda

when i had a finger stick last year, it occured while cleaning instruments(in m.d. office), the doctor i worked for did a complete Hep panel. i think because we couldn't say what instrument was used for who. it wasn't part of protocol to have it do...

I haven't worked in either, but just went to an interview for pool. the great thing about it is the experience, also a challenge. But as the others stated- it is your decision on how you feel about these areas. think of the pros and cons and go from ...

Peaceful, i too am a single mom-25yrs old. i understand. i worked in the nursing home right after i passed my boards- it was the skilled unit. the first time that one of my patients went into a diabetic seizure i ran out of the room to grab the gluco...

manna- i lived in a small town and got a WM- it did nothing for us but piss off the historical commitee. Krogers have it lucky- my last place of employment-Dr. office, just cancelled the insurance for the employees. Yes, cancelled it. the company is...

Sorry you are in this postion. Have you asked the college if they have any tutors available- i know that it might cost, but you can also check for $$ assistance. Also, you might also be able to get the Pell Grant, this will help pay for your educatio...

i also use Eucerine cream for my hands. the best stuff ever. i have to use it for my daughters eczema-it works great:) i use the hand cream during the day- it almost seems pointless since i wash then apply and next thing you know i'm washing again an...

the first is hard,and they do get a little easier. my first incounter with death was as a CNA. i worked in the nursing home 11pm-7am. she was a DNR. I sat by her side all night(inbetween rounds) and held her hand. Her family lived in another state(th...

as an LPN i had an easier time getting a job in a doctors office than at the hospital after being a new grad. If you are a RN you might have an easier time getting a job in the hospital-of course it wouldn't be that hard getting a job in a doctors of...

thanks for the advise, i will be calling the agency.

i need a little advice. i am starting a temp service, i am a LPN. i have been working in the doctors office for the past year. i start in three days in the hospital. i haven't been in the hospital for some time. are there any tips someone can give me...

STOP NOW! if you continue you will suffer,fatigue will catch up. i had the same problem-i could never say NO. i learned after i got really sick, fevers the works. and unfortunently admin. looks over the extra hours-because no one else would do it. a...

hope that your next week goes better. trust me when i say that it will be better. i remeber those days:eek: I too, enjoyed your story telling:) just remeber that is one of the reasons why we are here, nurses need nurses:kiss

I have 2- -first it would be phsyc. they just plan scare me. i can't tell what they are thinking or what they might do next. the last time i had to deal with a patient with "issues", the pt. came into the dr. office crying and shaking, curled into a ...

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT ALL CHILDREN GET THE FLU VACCINE-THIS WAS INFORMED TO ME THROUGH A DRUG REP- I KNOW THAT THEY WANT THE $$, BUT THE DOCTOR THAT I WORKED FOR ALSO RECOMMENDS THAT ALL CHILDREN GET THE FLU INJECTION. I DON'T KNOW OF ANYONE WHO HAS...

I don't feel that the nurses should have any dress code besides clean scrubs. what makes it confusing is when the cleaning crew has the same scrub as the nurse. there needs to be some way to tell the difference between that.
