What are some things you do to give yourself time to think and breathe? -I deliberately plan walks either during lunch time or after work just by myself either to the nearby park or around the corner and back, it helps set in that the chaos of t...

So I made the mistake of blindly submitting online at AMN and was contacted and spoke with a nurse recruiter.. I had not given permission to be "submitted" - as I had not decided when I wanted, next day I get a cold-call from the Manager of Kaiser an...

Hey everyone so I just turned 29 last week and said this is it.. I want to do what I always wanted to and that is to see some different places and travel in the area. I already was connected with recruiter from this agency and just emailed him my Res...

Thanks NedRN, I am doing ALOT of reading now and not sure if I will be accepting this

Look for jobs elsewhere!

There must be some more to this than a lift test at a physical..and seriously they have THAT now?? lol

Stop ! Dont even think about leaving your Corporate job. You MAY be able to contribute more than you think! Establish a scholarship fund at a nursing program, try to find a new grad nurse get a job using your connections, or ANYTHING else than going ...

Could she may be have meant healtcare associated pneumonia?? For a new grad thats more reasonable than the alternative..

Well, they are right. You're in the ER, you have 100 other things to do before EVEN thinking about looking up what gtt means

Although in fairness to the manager you are scheduled to be ON the next day and because YOU chose to come in early for extra $$$ you want off on your regularly scheduled day?? I am with the manager on this one, many nurses don't understand what impos...

Umm this is THE norm on med-surg units with ratios as high as 1:7.. I would KILL for 1:4..

Hi everyone, I will be finishing my 2nd year in Nursing on Med/Surg unit and have Tele experience as part time as well. I am however, NOT at all good with IVs, I mean blood work I can manage but patent IVs? I just cant. I have tried, though and just ...

You have got to be kidding! WOW.

Not all travel companies have your needs! Pay is the #1 consideration when traveling. So you shouldnt say you dont have any needs! Watch out for the low ball offers as you're new.

Use brute force when necessary to rip it out. Packages dont always need to be open the "perfect" way using the grooves etc LOL

Cr 1.8 on a pt with prior hx of renal failure medication is not a critical call to MD.. at least he didnt write you up for incompetence. (yeah I have had MDs that did this to some nurses who called at odd times of the night!!)

Until Nurses get smart on whats happening around them by posts like these, nothing can be done. NURSES NEED TO WAKE UP AND REVOLT! We're not where the line ends at for ANY and ALL problems of the patient, the hospital, or the union. We're being scap...

The hardest subject in Nursing? Off-subject! in dealing with the backstabbing of classmates and politics played amongst faculty.

I agree completely!

You what my facility will be doing? Giving me 8 patients 5 on Tele and say Good luck with that.. SHORT STAFFING SUCKS.

Wow I love the idea! I am actually just looking into travel nursing, have been a med-surg RN for 2 years this November and just want to see a change, but I am scared of going by myself! I am also 25, in NJ let me know if anyone is in the same boat!

If I were you, I would go for the new grad residency program!

Writing you up for not washing hands and disrespectful to students is valid. So is asking Pts how their care is. Thats a manager's main job now.

I applaud the manager for telling you to shut up during a staff meeting about your quable with the preceptor. If I were the preceptor I would have asked to drop you in a second. You dont have a problem with her, your problem is that you have 4 years ...

oh jeez are you serious? First 5-FU can be continuous infusion for 5 days, so the patient needs to be Admitted as an inpatient. If not the patient needs to go to the Oncologist or Infusion Center. You should NOT administer it at home.
