  1. I must be gifted, I made the DON cry

    PostOpPrincess replied to Silent Prayer's topic in General Nursing

  3. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    PostOpPrincess replied to studentdan's topic in General Nursing

    And I also don't like it when people say they are "not good" at math. Get good at it. These are people's lives and you'd better know what you are doing. I don't like to hear it. All excuses to me....

  4. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    PostOpPrincess replied to studentdan's topic in General Nursing

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

    I am a woman and even when they see me with the "don't EFF with me look." They stop. Being a man helps, but don't let that stop you from developing your own "Don't EFF with me"

  17. The National Health Service - how do other countries provide care???

    PostOpPrincess replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

  18. Is everything really the nurses fault?

    PostOpPrincess replied to jerrylundergard's topic in General Nursing

    This wasn't about you. This was about him. If he was so concerned, why didn't he order something? Because like you said, an Na of 149 "ain't no big deal." You were his target. Bottom

    PostOpPrincess replied to Plagueis's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  24. Can RNs really make this much?

    PostOpPrincess replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    After their first year? Doubt it. However, after several years. Can do it. Absolutely, and not even specializing with an advanced degree. That's why going for an ARNP for some is a step back in...

    PostOpPrincess replied to Steffers's topic in General Nursing

    1. Ask her how she/he best learns. 2. Assess her needs. What does she know--what does she not know? 3. You both should be clear about personality differences, and that how you speak to her...
