    LOL. I

  2. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    GM2RN replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, the irony in that

  3. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    http: Global warming was mentioned to make a point, not to debate it. I'm surprised you haven't heard that there are those who want "climate change disbelievers" or "global warming deniers"...

  4. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    GM2RN replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    Im sure the "experts" of the flat earth theory thought that their science was credible as well. Of course there are some areas of advancement, but in others we

  5. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    GM2RN replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    The entire world bought into the myth that the earth was flat for thousands of years and any dissenters could be jailed or lose their lives over voicing their opinions. There's currently a push by...

  6. Wearing scrubs to the interview.

    GM2RN replied to mr cooper's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I would wear scrubs and follow this posters advice. I actually think it's more risky to disregard this and wear a suit given what you've said. It's possible that they want to see how you would...

  7. Forced to get flu shot or wear a mask

    GM2RN replied to nurse0614's topic in General Nursing

    It's not mandatory at my hospital. I don't take it and never

  8. Finally got malpractice insurance.

    GM2RN replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. Everyone blows money on something they don't really need to the tune of more than a hundred dollars per year even if they won't admit it, and they'd never even miss that hundred if...

  9. Finally got malpractice insurance.

    GM2RN replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you should start a thread to see if you can get the anecdotal evidence you are seeking. I will still carry my own insurance either way but I'd be interested to see what kind of responses you'd...

  10. That one random nugget of information from nursing school that you've never forgotten..

    GM2RN replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    In A&P I learned the word micturition (urination). I've never heard or used it

  12. New ED nurse

    GM2RN replied to jv713's topic in Emergency

    Don't worry about figuring out what their problem is, that's what they are there to find out. What you need to do is ask questions that will help determine what their problem is but it's not up to...

  14. New ED nurse

    GM2RN replied to jv713's topic in Emergency

    Once you've been in the ER for awhile you will realize that you are repeating many of the same questions over and over and you will get used to what questions to ask for for different complaints. You...

  15. New MD orders

    GM2RN replied to rolvue's topic in General Nursing

    This was the first thing that came to my mind as well. If the nurse was passing on the verbal order but didn't write it, I would have asked her to write it before she left. In the case that she...

  16. Help! Landing Interviews, But Not Jobs

    GM2RN replied to RNJR1115's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming you are applying for full-time positions, try applying for part-time and PRN positions as well. Some work is better than no work in case you don't get offered FT. Plus, once you are...

  17. Manual BP - even or odd

    GM2RN replied to Nonono1's topic in General Nursing

    Why is that "correct." I've never heard of such a thing. What I read is what I document. Why is this any different from an automatic BP that reads an odd number, or do you round those

  18. What do other hospitals do regard to scheduling staff for weekends?

    GM2RN replied to Metalchild's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the others. I've never heard of anywhere that operates 24/7 that doesn't require everyone to work their share of weekends. My union contract specifies that RNs work every third weekend...

  19. Advice on LVN keeping CNA certification active in CA

    GM2RN replied to sfdreaming's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same. The scope of practice for an LVN encompasses that of a CNA, so even if it were possible there would be no

  20. Schedules: Help!!

    GM2RN replied to pediatricnurse13's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree that it's very individual. My hospital only requires nurses to work every third weekend but I volunteered to work every other so that I could work six in a row and have eight days...

  21. Acute Care Nurses: How Do You Balance Home Life(Kids/Marriage) and Work?

    GM2RN replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I have a different opinion. I commend you for knowing what you want and for waiting for marriage and to have sex and realizing that there are unintended consequences to not doing so. Yes, single...

  22. Baker or mott community college

    GM2RN replied to Brownc54's topic in General Nursing

    I have not heard anything bad about either program. I went to Baker and Mott, both for something other than nursing, so I can't speak to their individual programs specifically, but I can tell you...

  23. New ED nurse

    GM2RN replied to jv713's topic in Emergency

    PedNephNurse is absolutely right; it's normal to feel overwhelmed at first, and expect to feel that way for awhile, but it does get better! I was already experienced in the ER when I transferred to...

  24. Finally got malpractice insurance.

    GM2RN replied to quazar's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! You did the right

  25. Midland Michigan anyone?

    GM2RN replied to nurseinut's topic in General Nursing

    I'm familiar with the Midland area. I have no idea what their hiring practices are but I believe that wages are comparable to those of the Saginaw hospitals. If so, an RN with your experience would...
