    got fired after only worked three and half weeks

    itsnowornever replied to newRN2012's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As far as complaining about the IV thing---I've worked with nurses who just plain couldn't do them, and these were seasoned nurses who were great at everything else! On the flip side of that...it's a...

    The waiting game...

    itsnowornever replied to acuariaRN's topic in Emergency

    Good luck! As a student, I do have a "best story" and this is the patient that made me LOVE the smallish ERs....I didn't get him from the FD...his nurse was leaving for the day, so most of his work...

    Blogging---what crosses the line?

    itsnowornever replied to itsnowornever's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Case in point---heard a story about something being stuck up a rectum the other day, if the details were blogged about, I'm sure that the patient would know they were talking about him/her....

    itsnowornever replied to Kdids520's topic in Emergency

    Also wanted to add, in most EDs (here at least) the nurse usually will tell the doc whats going on and for the sake of saving time and taking care of the patient will just double check and put in the...

    itsnowornever replied to Kdids520's topic in Emergency

    Most EDs have certain things in line that RNs can do without the doctor telling them. I would have hung the fluids...if you are going to be an RN you could have checked the chart and figured out why...

    LTC does not equal RN experience?

    itsnowornever replied to itsnowornever's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think that's a great idea! How do you suggest I go about setting that up? Just calling and expressing interest in working there and asking if I can shadow

    LTC does not equal RN experience?

    itsnowornever replied to itsnowornever's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OK, Cause I thought that was a bit off too. My grandmother before she passed was in an LTC and she had a g-tube and was completely paralyzed from a stroke...you can't tell me that that isn't acute!...

    How do you handle the drug seekers?

    itsnowornever replied to itsnowornever's topic in Emergency

    I understand the "I do have pain" or "this is my history" as I have been there done that. I have trigeminal neuralgia myself...and the first time is showed up I was crying in the ED and REFUSED...

    Fainting... so dramatic

    itsnowornever replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I have fainted twice. Once was basic training and I was stupid. It was negative temps outside, so I didn't think I had to drink. WRONG. I knew I was gonna go, so I turned to the gal behind me, said...

    RN who graduated from Concorde Career College

    itsnowornever replied to Jillyg12's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Concorde in CA only churns out LVNs I believe....are you sure it's an RN? No way you can do pre-reqs (which are still required at private schools) AND an RN course in 15

    Nursing and being a mom?

    itsnowornever replied to itsnowornever's topic in General Nursing

    And I do have to add that during school there was ONE time that I was late for clinical because of his work. He was supposed to get off at 2 am and due to over zealous rioters, he didn't get home...

    Nursing and being a mom?

    itsnowornever replied to itsnowornever's topic in General Nursing

    I'd love to have this option (hubby watching kids during the weekend) but being married to a police officer, this isn't possible. The best we can do without ANY help (nanny or family) is to never see...
