    blackmamba123 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    blackmamba123 posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you came into your facility and they asked you to work as a nursing assistant for the day for your regular nursing pay, would you agree to it? Why or why not? If you would, or if someone else...

  6. Eating the patients' food?

    blackmamba123 replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    blackmamba123 replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    Well, my google search didn't turn up anything at all. This is a bit off topic, but I did come across a few articles about facilities outsourcing the dietary department due to budget constraints...

    Most rewarding: being able to educate patients, options in my career Most challenging: staffing issues One thing I'd change: the staffing issues Good luck with your project and in

  10. Best thing about being a nurse?

    blackmamba123 replied to LM838's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite part about being a nurse is educating people about their condition, our interventions, or on any questions or concerns they may have. I absolutely love teaching about breastfeeding and...

    Hi and congrats on being in nursing school. I know you said you have to interview a nurse and a nurse manager. Your school does not require you to interview them in person or on the

  14. Eating the patients' food?

    blackmamba123 replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    I'll go out on a limb and say that most health care providers bring their own stuff most of the time. Having time to sit down and eat it in the break room...well that's another story. There are...

  15. Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

    blackmamba123 replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    If this is the field you want to work in, go for it. Facilities don't hire people for their looks. They want warm bodies who know their stuff, show up on time and when scheduled, who do their work....

    blackmamba123 replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    Not in any of the hospitals where I've worked, no. But because I'm curious and bored like that today, I'll google it and post anything that I find. I mentioned in another post that I worked in a...

  17. Eating the patients' food?

    blackmamba123 replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds posh. More like a resort than a unit. If only all of our patients could be treated so well. On a lighter note, I'd be in the break room of this unit with a white napkin on my scrubs...

    blackmamba123 replied to esla's topic in School

    I'm a bit confused. You said in your post that you worked as a nurse 3 years, kept your license current, but want to know if they'll hire a new grad??? Were you an LPN and became an RN and took time...

    blackmamba123 replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    This is a great point about patient trays and assigned snacks. My OP was about the food that is in the nutrition room as snacks for patients, if they get hungry through the night, or on day shift....

  22. falling asleep during nightshift

    blackmamba123 replied to nightlightnurseaide's topic in General Nursing

    The worst I've ever done was at my first job as an LPN on midnights. We had cubbies in the middle of the hallway, and I chose to chart there instead of at the nurse's station to be closer to my...
