  1. employer wanted to try me out!

    GM2RN replied to rn4life2009's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone who is trained can do them. I used to do them as a phlebotomist and I didn't have a license at the

  2. What do you think constitutes insubordination?

    GM2RN replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like insubordination to

  3. Unsafe Assignment & Pt Abandonment

    GM2RN replied to GM2RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I agree, it's become the norm and it's way out of control. Others have posted on this board that they have refused a patient assignment after clocking in once they found what their assignment was but...

  4. Administering Narcs and nurse liability

    GM2RN replied to Jennifer, RN's topic in Emergency

    I agree with what you said, but I don't get what concerns you about the post you quoted relative to monitoring patients receiving narcs in the

  5. Is it just me (perhaps), or does disrespect by an attending ruffle feathers?

    GM2RN replied to MassED's topic in Emergency

    I don't necessarily agree with that. I had a similar situation with one of the ED docs recently. He was an arrogant a******, even in front of patients. At first, I ignored it, but he was just like...

  6. so.... what would YOU say?

    GM2RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Nursing

    That statement is about as silly as the one that some tout that other RNs should not be in the profession if it's not a "calling" for them. I got into nursing for a paycheck, so I guess I must not be...

  7. so.... what would YOU say?

    GM2RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Nursing

    You've been in psyc too long. Sometimes a goat is just a

  8. My ER is making me sick.

    GM2RN replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Emergency

    Also make sure the computer keyboards and phones are getting wiped down at least once per shift with disifectant

  9. My ER is making me sick.

    GM2RN replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Emergency

    Wear a mask. And make sure that the patients who are coughing all over the place have one on in

  10. Good Enogh? Please Help

    GM2RN replied to josebajo's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know anything about the schools mentioned, but I would say that depends on how competitive the program is. If there are lots of students applying with higher GPAs, then the OP may not get a...

  11. so.... what would YOU say?

    GM2RN replied to jollydogg_RN's topic in General Nursing

    She probably didn't mean anything by it, which is exactly why I would have said something, to bring it to her attention. I wouldn't have said it in a mean way, but I would have said, "what do you mean...

  12. PA Senate Bill 802

    GM2RN replied to LegzRN's topic in School

    Especially for what they are likely to pay that

  13. IV Fluid/IV Tubing

    GM2RN replied to EDrunnerRN's topic in Emergency

    I understand. But even when I have to check something on sheet to charge it to the patient, it doesn't list the cost. So I never really know how much things are unless I happen to find out...

  14. Did any of you NOT take a NCLEX prep course??

    GM2RN replied to Zookeeper44's topic in General Nursing

    I pretty much agree with this post. I didn't take one either and passed on the first try. Maybe prep courses are helpful for some, I dunno, but the best they can do is show you what to study and how...

  15. IV Fluid/IV Tubing

    GM2RN replied to EDrunnerRN's topic in Emergency

    I wouldn't say that Canadians are the only ones who do

  16. uniforms: any stranger recognized where you work by your uniform?

    GM2RN replied to RedWeasel's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I don't think your fears are valid, but I do agree that grey and white stink. They could have gone with something much better than that if they had to do

  17. Hey Rn's,,do you ever wish you had done physical therapy instead?

    GM2RN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I realize that. You have some valid points and in a different discussion I probably would probably feel that the education difference would be relevant. In this case I didn't. Mostly because the...

  18. Can't get a hold of Dr.!

    GM2RN replied to txdon's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This sounds like the kind of DON who "fixes" the RNs

  19. How the heck was I supposed to answer this interview question?

    GM2RN replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    :hpygrp:

  20. Hey Rn's,,do you ever wish you had done physical therapy instead?

    GM2RN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I wasn't assuming anything. But if you are comparing earning potential for an RN with experience, you have to give the PT the same amount of experience, otherwise you aren't comparing fairly. So if an...

  21. Hey Rn's,,do you ever wish you had done physical therapy instead?

    GM2RN replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I like nursing, but I have an interest in both, so if I had known the reality of nursing before doing it, I would have gone into PT instead. Why? The short answer is that in nursing, there is way too...

  22. Administering Narcs and nurse liability

    GM2RN replied to Jennifer, RN's topic in Emergency

    No reason not to give the meds or to get in trouble as long as you are following orders, administering properly, and monitoring, which it seems that you are doing. Remember, you don't monitor patients...

  23. Best Nursing Salary with the Lowest Cost of Living

  24. Scared Pre-Nursing Student: Is Nursing as Bad as I Hear?

    GM2RN replied to Ivy Black's topic in General Nursing
