    Safe Nursing a thing of the past?

    NurseCard replied to butterball1980's topic in General Nursing

    That's so sad and scary; my dad was taken to the hospital about 3-4 years ago with stroke symptoms. He did indeed have a small stroke and fortunately there were interventions in place so that, he did...

    Drowning on the floor...only 2 months in. HELP!

    NurseCard replied to NewKidOnTheFloor's topic in Nursing Career

    Mmm hmm. Doesn't mean that they are practicing safe nursing. They are cutting a LOT of corners. If you are taking care of 10, true Med Surge patients all by yourself, that is not

    Quit first hospital job after less than 6 months

    NurseCard replied to murse27's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why can't you just go apply for a floor nurse position at the nursing home? Why do you need to apply for a "higher position"? I mean, nursing home is certainly hard work, especially working on the...

    Out to a stressful start.

    NurseCard replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah... if you are having a blast, you have more than won half the battle. :) I worked in a psychiatric facility for a year that was quite disorganized, yet I loved the work and the patients and I...

    Drowning on the floor...only 2 months in. HELP!

    NurseCard replied to NewKidOnTheFloor's topic in Nursing Career

    Extremely unsafe. Too many med surge patients per nurse. Not enough orientation. Not by a long shot. I'm sorry you are in this

    I'm a CNA, will I lose my license?

    NurseCard replied to Websterwiki's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    yeah it depends on what state you live in. Here in KY, aides do not have a license, just a certification... but they still have a governing entity. You shouldn't have just walked out. You should...

    NurseCard replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    "You know, Nursecard, a lot of members here on AN.com need to learn The Wonder Boys concept of "There's a story behind it, but it isn't very interesting". You, on the other hand, NurseCard, need to...

    What is the longest time you have spent in one position?

    NurseCard replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    I've moved around a lot. Been a nurse for 15 years. Had my first job as an RN for three years. Worked at that hospital for 7 years, altogether. Since that job I've had about, 8-9 other nursing...

    Boomerang Coworkers

    NurseCard replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    My current workplace has about 5-6 nurses who leave, then come back, then leave again, then come back again... one of those nurses, her mother works here and she has pretty much "grown up" here......

    NurseCard replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This has been an interesting thread. I will admit, it has made me think twice about some things. I live in an area.... I think the whole state of Kentucky is like this, even the larger towns......

    Would you call in sick?

    NurseCard replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's a long, long, long commute.... I interviewed once for a job that I really wanted, but it was going to be about an hour and fifteen minute commute at least.. during the interview process I was...

    New Nurse, feeling depressed

    NurseCard replied to jellybean570's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can only echo what everyone else has said. The first year of being a nurse is ridiculously hard. It almost shouldn't be as hard as it is... but it just is what it is. You definitely would not,...

    How Much Junk do you Keep?

    NurseCard replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    I'm another person who keeps NOTHING. My work usually has plenty of manuals, drug books, etc. to refer back to. I've found that if I do keep stuff, I don't even end up referring back to it. Things...

    Mandatory Vaccination

    NurseCard replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a lot of anti-vaxxers who think that the flu shot is a big government scam, and that God will keep them from getting the flu. God... I like him very much. But he no help prevent

    NurseCard replied to Glitternurse's topic in School

    Can I start hanging out here? Even though I'm not even a school nurse. I have two kids in school, so that counts for something doesn't it? :) Happy Thanksgiving to you all! I'm off tomorrow night...

    NurseCard replied to Anonymous877's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a primary doctor that you see regularly? Or even an OB/GYN? I wonder if one of them could possibly get you in to the office to do a serum HCG? Or perhaps even a urine test would come...
