  1. Nightshifters

    PostOpPrincess replied to gtoko's topic in General Nursing

    5 years of nights made me appreciate days. Doing days now, makes me miss nights. Face it folks, every shift has issues--it's always in the perspective..take the tips well and look at the best side of...

  2. New RN hating night shift

    PostOpPrincess replied to lindseyjaneRN's topic in General Nursing

    I had difficulty working on nights, but I had to for 5 years. All I can say is...well...pull together your intestinal fortitude, get GREAT advice for transitioning and working nights from your friends...

  3. RN to BSN doesn't feel right.

    PostOpPrincess replied to Student2Registered's topic in General Nursing

    Rn to BSn can be done online; and/or part time. There is no RUSH for it. You should do it--it's the path to all nursing careers..but don't sacrifice your family for it. That's going to get you in...

  4. New grad struggling with job decisions, 12 shifts and school age kids, advice please!

  5. People think you are rich because you are a nurse

    PostOpPrincess replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    Stop the enabling and you'll be a happier person. It will probably be hard, and they'll hate you for awhile...but oh well, life goes on....

  6. Should Your DON Talk to You After You Give Your Resignation?

    PostOpPrincess replied to flashpoint's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You're probably not even in her radar. She is DON and probably has many things on her plate--if you are close, then perhaps you're not as close as you thought. Go and speak up and talk about the...

  7. Nurses-Read this and respond to Dr. Ablow

    PostOpPrincess replied to GilaRRT's topic in General Nursing

    Average IQ is 100. "Average" gifted is minimum 130. Highly gifted varies, but usually starts at 145 to 160. Above that and you are genius. I do know one genius RN who is a Mensa member who became...

  8. Thank you!!!

    PostOpPrincess replied to JaneyW's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Nice positive post. Keep these

  9. Where are the professionals?

    PostOpPrincess replied to mswim's topic in General Nursing

    I bet they were a bunch of women. Need I explain

  10. Boss that treats everyone like they are 4!!

    PostOpPrincess replied to studenttill12's topic in General Nursing

    Your OP is very vague about her

  11. Nurses-Read this and respond to Dr. Ablow

    PostOpPrincess replied to GilaRRT's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to get annoyed by some idiot. So I'm not going to read it. I'm just responding to the OP. There is documentation somewhere (I think I read it somewhere on Mensa's website...don't...

  12. Constantly rejected from OB...

    PostOpPrincess replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No one wants to pay the $$ for training. It's a lot of money. It's definitely a cost-savings environment that's ruling. The economy is the issue, and who knows when it will

  13. Licensure question, touring with youth group

    PostOpPrincess replied to CuriousMe's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps it would fall under the Good Samaritan

  14. overwhelmed

  15. pre-delivery "grooming" issue?

    PostOpPrincess replied to brillohead's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Me too......

  16. Should she be suspended?

    PostOpPrincess replied to desro1986's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately for her, without documentation.... They asked for a urine sample I am sure. YOU HAVE TO

  17. Sick and Tired

    PostOpPrincess replied to RNCoastiewife's topic in General Nursing

    The cost of training you is $60,000.00 MINIMUM. How can they recoup? Sign a contract? Promise to stay put--for how long? Nope. Hospitals are now in the power seat.

  18. US jobs for foreign nurses living in the US

    PostOpPrincess replied to bettyboop22's topic in International Nursing

    Does that mean you are a permanent, legal resident? If it does, then in my eyes you need to go through what all other new grads go through. Find someone willing to invest in you as a new nurse. Good...

  19. You can only take so much screaming, impatience, and disdain

    PostOpPrincess replied to shiccy's topic in General Nursing

    You're probably right, Leslie...but if OP felt she was stepping over the boundaries, OP was correct in her response. I used to be on the Code Team and had to deal with many personalities--did it for...

  20. You can only take so much screaming, impatience, and disdain

    PostOpPrincess replied to shiccy's topic in General Nursing

    The hospitalist was hostile because she felt "dumped on". And unfairly took it out on you. Before this happens again and it escalates to the point of stopping her. If she/he or anyone else has a...

  21. BSN/MBA career opportunities?

    PostOpPrincess replied to GusM's topic in General Nursing

    VP. Eventually

  22. help me with answers to test

    PostOpPrincess replied to RobynL's topic in General Nursing

    I'd start by opening up my books from school. But that's just me.

  23. A Summary of the October 2009 Forum on the Future of Nursing: Acute Care

    PostOpPrincess replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If this is the path of nursing, I really do advocate for this. We have too many people who think that "bedside" is a stepping stone and beneath them. Perhaps this will change the waves of all the...

  24. A Summary of the October 2009 Forum on the Future of Nursing: Acute Care

    PostOpPrincess replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    NRS Karen, May I say with my leadership council? I am not sure they were able to attend--or have this info--if they haven't at least, they will now.

  25. is it possible- L&D to med/surg?

    PostOpPrincess replied to lalalalexi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm done many specialties, and I would love the opportunity to do L & D. I say GO FOR
