  1. How to protect yourself from infections after work?

    nutella replied to NurseIAm0613's topic in General Nursing

    No - I have never done anything like that and I can not imagine doing it. Shoes - ok, I can see how one may want to take them off before going home or leave them at the entrance at home. I did wash...

  2. Ethics help!

    nutella replied to KatieFRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is pretty easy and straight forward in my opinion. If the patient verbalizes the wish to get more information/different choices the nurse can tell the patient that he/she can obtain a "second...

  3. There is nothing we can do

    nutella posted a topic in General Nursing

    When I entered the nurse's station, I immediately felt the typical business of a weekday morning. The morning rush during which everybody tries to get a handle on all the tasks for day was unfolding....

  4. WILTW 1/22: Cozy Up To Gas Exchange

    nutella replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    This week I am all about podcasts for nurses / healthcare professionals - apparently I am spending a lot of time driving at times or listen to podcasts while I am exercising, cleaning the house.......

  5. How much do YOU think nurses are worth?

    nutella replied to mystory's topic in General Nursing

    I want to put out that when you make $$$ in nursing, you may also live in an area with high costs of living or you have a position that will (most likely) suck life out of you. I had a nursing job...

  6. Roll call - palliative care nurses?

    nutella replied to Rhodiola's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi Rhodiola, do you want to write more about your work? Is it an office with a provider? Are you guys specialty certified? I work for the hospital palliative care team but our physician also has a...

  8. There is nothing we can do

    nutella replied to nutella's topic in General Nursing

    TraumaRUs - we work also somewhat closely with nephrology when there is a patient who is offered dialysis but does not wish to start, if a patient considers stopping, or if a patient was on dialysis...

  9. There is nothing we can do

    nutella replied to nutella's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry that you (and your mom / father) had to go through this! It is very sad when anybody gets subjected to a variety of treatments that cause much suffering without much benefit and result in...

  10. Forced to resign after 7 weeks

    nutella replied to porkdumpling's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My view on disclosing is to be open about it in a different way. If I was to interview you and you do not mention it in your resume but in the interview say "well actually I did ...." I would think...

  11. Almost fired for med error

    nutella replied to mellybelly27's topic in Emergency

    Wow. If you do not have a target on your back for whatever reason I wonder. Getting fired for a medication error that resulted in no harm is harsh and actually more unusual since there has been a lot...

  12. Nurse yelling at patient

    nutella replied to MSUOUgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You have been on the floor for a day - give it some time. The reality of nursing is very different from what we learn in school. And I think it can be some kind of a "culture shock" experience. I...

  13. Help please!!

    nutella replied to pattymayonaise's topic in General Nursing

    As a manager you have to have some leadership qualities of course and an understanding of the manager role. But - at that is also important - you need to be able to lead the floor. I hope you have...

  14. New grad-Body/mind on high alert all the time due to anxiety

    nutella replied to Summers3's topic in General Nursing

    Besides normalizing your experience (yes - it is normal to have anxiety and a lot of nurses take work "home" in the beginning) I have other suggestions. If you are generally worried that you will...

  15. code signs

    nutella replied to mbarakhan18's topic in General Nursing

    I need to say that frequent codes point to a whole bunch or problems. I have worked in CCU with patient who had everything known to mankind after or with cardiac disease but codes were actually not...

  16. Panic attacks following never event.

    nutella replied to Iamgroot29's topic in General Nursing

    OP - I am so sorry that it happened ! I agree that going to a mental health professional could be helpful. But I also think that your reaction is sort of "normal" because as nurses, when things like...

  18. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    nutella replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP - obviously you feel that somebody did something "wrong" to you and you want to "call out a nasty attitude" and to focus on your point of view. When nursing education became academic, it created...

  19. A Day In The Life Of An OB Charge Nurse

    nutella replied to JanineKelbach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is interesting to read - I never worked a single day in GYN - OB other than nursing school clinicals. I have no idea how you guys do it

    nutella replied to r0seRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked in a variety of areas - one position I really liked a lot was acute dialysis - which is dialysis in the hospital. I dialyzed patients in all critical care areas, in a hospital acute dialysis...

  21. LPN-CONFUSED!

    nutella replied to Kellyry21's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Look for a more cost efficient option like LPN to RN or accelerated programs that are less expensive. The certificate from Rutgers sounds to me like a graduate school certificate course. The WOCN...

    nutella replied to Nazarr77's topic in General Nursing

    If your mom is an experienced LPN but is unable to get licensed due lack of education but does not consider moving back or going back to school - what about private duty work - not as a LPN (because...

  23. Please help, I need advice on a new career!

    nutella replied to Viking Bridge Burner's topic in Nursing Career

    It might be best to make a list / grid with pros and cons and write down everything that is relevant. Having some visual can help you to make a decision. It works in your favor that you know your...

  24. Nursing imagination or reality?

    nutella replied to potatoz's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is a great field to work in - plenty of opportunities - financially it depends where you work, for what organization, the amount of years you have worked as a nurse, and so on. I worked at a...

  25. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    nutella replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is also important to look a little bit closer about what is going on with our healthcare system and the care that is "available" in the US. Somebody mentioned that instead of offering...
