  1. Concerned that my "type B" personality won't cut it!

    PostOpPrincess replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    I am super Type A. Type B in a NICU environment would make me homicidal. You have to be anal about those little ones. Now, if you're doing mother baby....maybe that's a different story. But no to...

  2. Help. Is my outrage justified?

    PostOpPrincess replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    One test question should not make nor break a student. I understand your taking umbrage for your friend, but be careful--you're going into HER (instructor's) territory where her rules apply. It is a...

  3. Unreasonable female 30 something p'ts

    PostOpPrincess replied to pedicurn's topic in Emergency

    Poor coping skills. I had someone in recovery the other day crying because we wouldn't let her little baby stay at the bedside. She had major surgery and had a lot of pain and nausea. Although I can...

    PostOpPrincess replied to AZRN2112's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry Leslie--I've never been one to be in the midst of a hullabalooh--but I am tired of the gimmes..... I truly feel for those who have specific concerns that can be disconcerting and impact one's...

  10. Bipolar-Should I ask for ADA accomodations?

    PostOpPrincess replied to AZRN2112's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. Her total OP is suggestive of ..."how far can I/should I go with the ADA implication should I decide to pursue it?" Something tells me that she probably already had an idea and wanted to...

  11. Bipolar-Should I ask for ADA accomodations?

    PostOpPrincess replied to AZRN2112's topic in General Nursing

  14. Time management

    PostOpPrincess replied to coolpeach's topic in General Nursing

    Never mind the faster part--concentrate on remaining SAFE. Tasking can get you into a lot of trouble if you are not careful...focus on your overall view of each patient and PRIORITIZE needs.... And...

  15. New grads resigned to night work?

    PostOpPrincess replied to Stcroix's topic in General Nursing

    That says a lot about your unit and retention. That's quite rare and commendable. In my unit, day positions become available as the unit sees the need. We have overlapping shifts...i.e 8-4, 9-5,...

  16. Night shift then caring for twins all day?

    PostOpPrincess replied to Spode's topic in General Nursing

    This is the best advice I've ever seen on this forum. If you don't take it...well.... Forrest gump, "stupid is as stupid does..." said it better than

  18. Bipolar-Should I ask for ADA accomodations?

    PostOpPrincess replied to AZRN2112's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think so. What he's saying is that, many people have many problems. Where does it end? Start with one and then someone else has another and another and another. Childcare issues are a big...

  19. Healthcare Termination Process: You're Fired!

    PostOpPrincess replied to JoytoWorld's topic in General Nursing

  20. quit without notice a year ago

    PostOpPrincess replied to Sun_danc3rRN's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of how bad it was, there are ways to go about leaving a place. You also needed documentation as far as the goings on and the compromise of your license. How else will anyone believe it if...

  21. Legal Nurse Consultant: Is this what it is made out to be?

    PostOpPrincess replied to DNS on the go's topic in Legal

    Fact: One doesn't need this class to work for attorneys. You need experience--i.e. high acuity and years of it. I work for a Cali lawyer who downloads info for me to review once a month. I do it as a...

    PostOpPrincess replied to AZRN2112's topic in General Nursing

    If you cannot do the work as originally asked, don't work there. Do you think it is fair that everyone else work the Sundays while you don't? Do you think it is fair that everyone accomodate you? I...
