  1. ICU Stepdown workload

    PostOpPrincess replied to rotteufel's topic in General Nursing

    This is not the type of stepdown I would want to stay

  2. Odd rituals at work

    PostOpPrincess replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I think if you are able to function and don't feel too anxious...(I am detecting some OCD...)then don't feel so bad... I am ICU trained...and technically, a total drip-rearranger, and "Purple Pen"...

  3. How can nurses avoid burnout?

    PostOpPrincess replied to nolamor's topic in General Nursing

    Some thoughts...not necessarily in any particular order: Be good to yourself as an individual first, and if you work in a unit that sees a lot of trauma or super high acuity...learn how to decompress....

  4. Help! Should I file for Unemployment???

  6. The trauma I cant let go of

    PostOpPrincess replied to ER_JEN_RN's topic in Emergency

    Sounds like you have PTSD. Suggest you get HR to assist you. Compartmentalization is the way I cope with these ordeals. Over 18 years, there are many I cannot forget...but unless something brings to...

  9. Does your day shift have food days?

    PostOpPrincess replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Once a month and it is a FEAST! WE have many, different cultures and it is awesome to taste the dishes. My place of work is NOT a good place to lose weight

  10. Pet peeve

    PostOpPrincess replied to Up2nogood RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's disappointing to know your co-workers could potentially, and almost knowingly setting up the patient to die from infection. So careless and unthinking. A big, giant pet peeve of

  11. I am an American.

    PostOpPrincess replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Had it been my NM, she would've been laughing so hard, I think he would have walked away, with this ego completely

  12. Plz help with Bumex, amio, dopamine, cardizem calculations!

    PostOpPrincess replied to RamaMama's topic in General Nursing

    No personal attacks here. But it seems that this "feel good--let's be supportive" thing doesn't mean a person can't question an OP who is asking FOR answers without even answering them first....

  13. Plz help with Bumex, amio, dopamine, cardizem calculations!

    PostOpPrincess replied to RamaMama's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you should read where the OP didn't even try. Don't judge us....I have kids and understand that the least amount of energy put forward, is the more energy reserved for other "fun" stuff.....I...

  14. Plz help with Bumex, amio, dopamine, cardizem calculations!

    PostOpPrincess replied to RamaMama's topic in General Nursing

    The exact reason why we don't give the information first. You didn't even try.--the exact reason why I--ME--will not give answers. Now...if you want to have a discussion on Kierkegaard or...

  15. Plz help with Bumex, amio, dopamine, cardizem calculations!

    PostOpPrincess replied to RamaMama's topic in General Nursing

    When my 7th grade daughter figures out the first answer just be staring at the question says to me, "Geez mom the ratio is 1:1...the question is 15...and she is in college?" I have an issue with it....

  16. Plz help with Bumex, amio, dopamine, cardizem calculations!

    PostOpPrincess replied to RamaMama's topic in General Nursing

    This is basic math. And I mean basic. Please review your med formulas. Especially the first one. If you work it out, you'd see how simple it is. Come on. P.S. what are YOUR answers....and we'll see...

  17. Master's after 40, is it worth it?

    PostOpPrincess replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is to me. I am bored out of my gourd. I need MAJOR CHALLENGES... I say go for

  18. UHGGGG!!!! DOCTORS!!!

    PostOpPrincess replied to livinthedreamRN's topic in General Nursing

    Let him blame the nurses. His way of coping with mistakes is obviously infantile and you caught that. He's been "spanked" and he doesn't like it because he isn't used to

  19. Customer Service...........yay or nay?

    PostOpPrincess replied to eriksoln's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a place for the "customer service" part of nursing. As a patient, I want to go to a hospital where people will treat me with respect and go out of their way to MAKE ME FEEL SAFE AND CARED...

  20. I am an American.

    PostOpPrincess replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's sad when people govern by inappropriate rules. The NM has lost her effectivity by giving into this--or by presenting it to you all this way. I think there are better ways to "respect" people's...

    PostOpPrincess replied to talknw's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  24. Going to Nursing School at an Older Age

    PostOpPrincess replied to AmaurosisFugax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I saw go for it. You will bring the maturity and life experience. That is great. The one "discriminatory" thing you won't experience is your patients questioning your knowledge--"are you sure...

  25. "Graduating & Not Ready"

    PostOpPrincess replied to nursinggurl's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Don't let some remarks bother you. This is my take. You are smart, and I mean you catch on quick. They are not. I wouldn't be worried about them only because they will be assessed by NCLEX as well...
