  1. Nursing Advice

    PostOpPrincess replied to Misspeachi's topic in General Nursing

    People talk back. If you can get used to them and their regressions in the face of illnesses; if you are patient and willing to learn the ins and outs of being a people nurse. You will be

  2. I don't mean to whine...

    PostOpPrincess replied to omcnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Stay off the computer. Get management to get rid of the internet or just have focus on MEDICAL

  3. I suck.

    PostOpPrincess replied to Virgo_RN's topic in Emergency

    We all suck sometimes. That's life. Accept the suckiness; it's a good way to keep one

  4. Wasting Narcotics

    PostOpPrincess replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, you did right. Good

  5. Can I wear the same clothes to the interview?

    PostOpPrincess replied to wendy_lili's topic in General Nursing

    Feel good about knowing that your interviewer probably wasn't paying much attention to what you were wearing that day.

  7. Refused Transfer because Im in school

    PostOpPrincess replied to freedom22's topic in General Nursing

    Why won't they give you the position because you are in school? In what way will the schooling interfere with the position? In my hospital, they promote advanced learning and will go out of their way...

  8. I start my new job tomorrow!

    PostOpPrincess replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good

  9. HELP! Floor Nursing = NOT for me

    PostOpPrincess replied to skim410's topic in General Nursing

    You have a great attitude; and that's good that you know where your limits are. My concerns are the ones try to get into the hospital setting (like that poor NP who, thank goodness, is perseverant)...

  10. HELP! Floor Nursing = NOT for me

    PostOpPrincess replied to skim410's topic in General Nursing

    Please don't get me wrong. I understand a master's degree is a difficult endeavor and much respect should be given to this effort. I truly believe that spending time in a clinical setting would only...

  11. HELP! Floor Nursing = NOT for me

    PostOpPrincess replied to skim410's topic in General Nursing

    If you're going to be a resource for the people you are writing orders for, your credibility will be questioned when even basic nursing skills can't be done. I am going to ARNP school. This will...

  12. Occurrence In Idaho

    PostOpPrincess replied to kubivern's topic in General Nursing

    Besides how can they prove she didn't die from the death process? Everyone I know who has renal failure is going to be toxic. Period. How

  13. Occurrence In Idaho

    PostOpPrincess replied to kubivern's topic in General Nursing

    Well, considering she has no motive--and the patient was in renal failure--I don't know how far this will go. I hope her lawyer is

  14. HELP! Floor Nursing = NOT for me

    PostOpPrincess replied to skim410's topic in General Nursing

    Because she was hired as the NP. Because she was the one who was with the advanced degree who convinced someone in management that she could "manage" and "intervene" in these types of situations....

  15. Bedside Reporting

    PostOpPrincess replied to nightshiftnut's topic in General Nursing

    Well I work in a PACU where we are constantly giving bedside report, and I mean every 30 minutes to an hour we get a brand new patient. You just do it quietly--sometimes I point to the paper with the...

  16. is this a form of medicaid abuse?

    PostOpPrincess replied to sasha2lady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The type of person who gives those who truly need medicaid as a bridge to a better life a bad rep. Ugh. I don't think I want to be breathing the same oxygen as this

  17. Book: The Future of the Nursing Workforce in the United States

    PostOpPrincess replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Buerhaus loves to write, doesn't

  18. Civility in the workplace

    PostOpPrincess replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i think it has a lot to do with the unit's structure itself. i work in a pacu that is so collaborative that we--nurses, surgeons, anesthesia providers-- enjoy each other's company, regardless of the...

  19. a thesis dilema, please help me out

    PostOpPrincess replied to arjay_gimikero's topic in General Nursing

    PostOpPrincess replied to nat_myria's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you have a better experience in your future endeavors. I am sorry that you are having difficulty. There are always reasons why we (the collective we) go through these things, perhaps in some...

  22. Pain is not a "vital sign"

    PostOpPrincess replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY why it is to be considered "a vital sign"--there are too many prejudgments (see original OP that has evidence of this) and therefore many people remain in unnecessary pain. I agree with...

  24. In what department do you not wipe the backside?

    PostOpPrincess replied to mirgadia05's topic in General Nursing

    A non-clinical area would be where you belong. Nursing, unfortunately, is mostly clinicals. Especially when you are new and learning.

  25. HELP! Floor Nursing = NOT for me

    PostOpPrincess replied to skim410's topic in General Nursing

    Not in my area. One of the FNPs on the floor asked me to come up and help her insert a foley on a patient who was in so much pain that he didn't pee for 16 hours. She was desperate. She was the...
