  3. Scared to move for job..anyone done it?

    november17 replied to NurseDevonL's topic in General Nursing

    I recently moved from Michigan to Georgia. I basically left the day before the interview, lolled around for 2 weeks until orientation, and then started working. I lived in a hotel for 2 months while I...

  4. Why did you become an Ortho Nurse?

    november17 replied to mae425's topic in Orthopedic

    I wanted to work in something post-surgical, didn't want to deal with the general medical population. I also have a lot of interest in body mechanics - muscles, bones, etc. I find most other body...

  5. Is CNA good experience for a future RN?

    Being a CNA teaches you good time management

  6. Looking for advise on career change into nursing.

    november17 replied to techjob4u's topic in General Nursing

  7. How to artfully dodge conversation?

    november17 replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

    Learn to take control of the conversation the second you first walk into the room. It takes a little practice! I generally don't ever tell people I'm busy and if they ask if I am I skirt around the...

  8. New male nurse, and got a question

    november17 replied to BigNick909's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hi I'm Mark (I'm straight too btw hurr hurr), I'm an RN and I used to work as an aide at a nursing home. We'd have 30 pts for 2 CNAs with a few of them being total care. It really does depend on how...

  9. No BS, what's the reality of starting as an older male, with a previous degree?

    november17 replied to wje9516767's topic in Men in Nursing

    I work with a 52 year old male that just got his license. He's probably on par with most new nurses. His only fault; He tells endless stories about his "old job" , he's got a computer programming...

  11. Non-clinical management telling a Nurse how to be a Nurse

    november17 replied to SweetLoriRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Amazing they'd say they don't touch body fluids when a patient is in a room but I bet they'd clean up body fluids if the patient had been discharged or it happened in a visitors bathroom? What if a...

  12. "She's a drug-seeker!"

    november17 replied to tachybradyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is stuff that you will see again and again and again and again...ad nauseam. The epigastric/abdominal pain, nausea, and especially this statement, "I just want *insert pill/shot here* so I can...

  13. Non relative gaining patient information

    november17 replied to thecrew08's topic in General Nursing

    THIS. There have been patients I've spent more time trying to figure out which family member is allowed to know what than I've actually spent with the patient!! It really isn't fair. Considering the...

  14. Interview after a night shift

    november17 replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I bought a house 2 months ago after working a nightshift. I worked 7p-7a, the house closing was at 2:30p and was an hour and a half drive. I was so excited all I could do was take a shower and lie in...

  16. NY officials rescind mandatory flu shot order

    november17 replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    His next order will hopefully be all healthcare workers get a million bucks. I mean, they couldn't afford it (and it would get recinded), but it'd be a nice thing to

  17. Non-clinical management telling a Nurse how to be a Nurse

    november17 replied to SweetLoriRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    HAHAHA I just spit water all over my monitor! "RN" "Big" (or Bigger) and "Bucks" - none of these three words really belong in the same sentence. I mean, you can mix and match any two, but not all...

  18. Disgusted!

    november17 replied to rawrn's topic in General Nursing

    That's what 401ks were invented for. Hopefully your husband does some kind of job that he could easily find somewhere else. Otherwise, you're just going to need to keep expanding your search in the...

  20. random post: comparing roles of nurses and doctors to stereotypical parenting....

    november17 replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in General Nursing

    I view my role as a nurse as more of a problem solver than a stay at home mother. But way to go giving nursing a feminist slant (because you know dads are completely detached from their children's...

  21. Stupid (or impossible) things Joint Commission has required

    november17 replied to 1Tulip's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    When JCAHO showed up at 6:45 I was thankful I had already taped my report. I stood in the hall and ran the other way everytime I saw someone I didnt recognize until 7:15 when I got to leave. I got...

  22. Son wants to be a CRNA, but wants his ears guaged

    november17 replied to topher-67's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt it would be an issue. If he's a CRNA a) he'll be wearing OR gear that will distract from his ears b) no one will ever remember seeing him anyways (if he does his job right),

  23. The small pleasures you get out of your job.

    november17 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had this post-op humerus fracture pt. She was on 6mg of dilaudid PO and still complaining of pain. The surgeon came in, examined her, redressed the arm, etc etc. He said, "Discharge her." She kept...

  24. How likely is it as a new nursing grad I'd have to work nights?

    november17 replied to honeymist's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on how flexible you are. You might have to go to a unit that you might not be particularly interested in to score a dayshift position, but its certainly
