    PostOpPrincess replied to SkeesB's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be lazy, don't act spoiled. Be open to criticism. Don't think you know everything. And don't talk about ARNP school on your first day. Don't expect the "tech" to do the work. Be a nurse. A...

  4. Home Health a good option for fairly new grad??

  6. Do you LIKE every patient that walks through your door?

    PostOpPrincess replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    As long as I am professional, that's all that matters. I don't always like my patients...as a matter of fact, I do not like most of them. Many of them are bizarre, and...just not my type of people....

  7. Those that prefer to work with men

    PostOpPrincess replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. Men speak straight. No hints, no "I thought you were psychic." No sulking. Yuck for the women who do this (I know several and have bluntly told them they are immature and self-centered...) So....

    PostOpPrincess replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

  12. Being a patient advocate.

    PostOpPrincess replied to tookalongtime's topic in General Nursing

    This is about right. I sleep well at night, trust me. And I don't mind making a PB & J for a little boy. I do, however, manage my time effectively and do not run all over the place for...

  13. Would You Feel Comfortable Doing This?

    PostOpPrincess replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you know she is safe to drive, I don't see a problem. If she wasn't safe, then I say let your conscience be your guide should she hurt

  24. no new grads now, but huge influx later?

    PostOpPrincess replied to jxRN's topic in General Nursing

    We have new grads, but we "grow" them (our hospital) There will be no sudden influx, they trickle in. Most preferable that way. Too many new grads equal many, many problems. We're learned our lesson....

  25. Moving from ICU to ER

    PostOpPrincess replied to momofdna's topic in Emergency

    Different. You will be focused on your assessments to target the problem. Deal, and send off home or somewhere else. I loved it there. Just don't like when I am holding 4 critical...
