    Stated

  2. Year 1 Down!

    exit96 replied to Tarabara's topic in General Nursing

    Well I am 49 and I would have liked to go on with schooling, and maybe be a flight nurse, but at my age I cannot justify the financial cost as I would never recoup in time to be feasible. And I am not...

  3. Do you talk about work at home?

    exit96 replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for taking my post the proper way. I re-read and it could be taken offensively. We're all different

  4. Newcomer with a few questions

    exit96 replied to xvillainx's topic in Men in Nursing

    We all have a past that can creep up on us, and I am not saying it is right to discriminate. But given that THAT is the reality of it all, and employers look at that, why do people have to get so many...

  5. Year 1 Down!

    exit96 replied to Tarabara's topic in General Nursing

    Very nice! I too have my first year of RN behind me. As I look back I am pretty encouraged by the critical thinking and confidence growth. I took a new job in ED and am thrilled! I do have 1 serious...

  6. Do you talk about work at home?

    exit96 replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Nursing

    I am a guy, which predisposes me to the " not so talkative type." Whether it be Nursing or my past life jobs, I may be very vague and am really not bogged won with living in the past. I may expound...

    exit96 replied to bebbercorn's topic in Emergency

    If you are going to encounter inmates of any sort; jail, prison, I would advise not having any metal, hard plastic items that they could get their hands on and use as a weapon while at the facility,...

  9. Pet Peeve

    exit96 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My facility has recently implemented EMR. it has been a little sluggish at the interim, but I must say that I am love it. With this change I have been irritated in that, the personnel that...

  10. I still don't understand why a hospital would hire cna's, or techs but not lpn's

    exit96 replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Talking to doc's in terms of ' carrying out orders'....I doubt that this is appropriate in any state:-0...what!?!?... D/c-ing IV's, in/out folly, VS, I&O, finger stick...worked at a facility that...

    exit96 replied to turquoisefire's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Agree

  20. Noise level at night

    exit96 replied to NoonsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Good topic. What else could be done? I work nights, and I think day and night shift volume levels should be considered the same. People are going to wake up. I may be having a bad day, dying pt,...

    I know this is premature, but- I just spent my first shift in ED last night on the floor (LTC and M/S RN previously)... WHAT A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!! I DO feel somewhat like a new grad, but it is nice...

  23. Fresh Air

    exit96 replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    I liked that there was an urgency to what I was involved with vs. toileting, passing waters/snacks, passing pills, and waiting for call lights... I'm sure there will be negative aspects/shifts, but at...

  24. Off the clock

    exit96 replied to jbecerra's topic in General Nursing

    There could be many variables to this, my thoughts are as follows: 1-Would the employer "go to bat for you" in a court case if your work in question was done "off the clock?" Or would they find this...

  25. Short nursing staff

    exit96 replied to nurseywifeymommy1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I was in LTC as LPN for a year, and did some CNA work a couple years prior to that. I don't think that THAT issue will ever be resolved. There are always too mant pt's to care for (short staffing). It...
