K nurse-one-day

I dont need any judgement with this, b/c it truly is a deep concern. I am a 1st term nursing student, and a tech at a well known hospital in my town. I can say with all honesty that I hate my job. My floor is a small med-surg floor with only a handfu...

There is a childrens hospital in my town. I wonder how I should go about getting my name in their ear

I would love to try peds! Did you get hired there as a new grad? Any advice? I have 2 babies myself so I thinkId be good at it

Im assuming this is a joke question. I hope you have some burn ointment cause you're about to get flamed my friend

snacks, mints, candy, gum, makeup, old papers, my nursing school books to study if i get down time (Im a tech), pens, my badge, a sweater, steth

Im amazed at all these stories about people with things stuck up their @$$ What is peoples obsession with sticking things up their butt??? Am I missing something here?:uhoh3::uhoh3:

Nursing shortage? What nursing shortage? You can't sling a dead cat without hitting a GN

AND WE HAVE OUR WINNER!!!!:yeah: Holy crap, that was epic. WIN!:yeah:

Dang it u took mine!!!! Lol:lol2: How bout: what's an online bsn program thats easy to get into with a low gpa?

The only thing I want to address is the issue with the drains. Im a cna and I assure you I'm perfectly competent and capable of emptying a drain and measuring the output. It doesn't take a rocket scientist. Other than that, I appreciate your post a l...

I really think that me being floated all over the hospital has a lot to do with it too. When I was hired on, the manager told me I would float "occasionally". Fast forward to now, I haven't worked on my floor in a month. I dont know anyone, and I hav...

Its surprising that I would have to deal with this as an RN b/c the ones at my work dont help me one dang bit with any of the things I listed above And please dont get me wrong. I know theres an insane amount of paper work and charting with nursing. ...

An ADN is an RN

I agree w/ above. Karma is a b****. She'll get hers one day. What goes around comes around

OP, I dont know what hospital you've worked at, but at my hospital, its a whole different ball game. I get treated like a freaking waitress all night. Ice, juice, water, snacks, soda, bring me this, hand me that, move this, where's the remote, scratc...

Oh HEEEEEELLLLLL NO!!!! Lets get one thing straight. My patients are not my customers. I quit my cashier job a long time ago

*I realize that you are incontinent of diarrhea, and maybe you really can't control when it comes out. But I just spent 30 mins cleaning feces off you you while you just laid there like slug. Can I atleast get a thank you??? My back is broken, and Iv...

I dont get it.....

I dont like kids either. I have 2 and I love them to death, but no one elses. LOL Just b/c you're a female doesn't mean you have to like/want/have kids. Thats a silly outdated stigma that needs to be lost. People who don't want kids shouldnt have the...

Calling patients by pet names is unprofessional and lazy. You're their care giver. You are not their mother, grandma, auntie, or spouse. My preceptor did this. She told me flat out that she doesn't call pt's by their name. Drove me nuts. Is it abuse...

You don't need 200 to apply. You can't apply with anything. You need about 195 to be competitive

Its just a ton of work. But, even with that having been said, its still the best decision Ive ever made and I dont regret it at all. The biggest suggestion is to keep up w/ your microbiology and AP2 b/c you will need it in Pharm. They really do make ...

Just checking in from the summer students who just started 1st term. Were freaking dying over here. ENJOY YOURSELF NOW!!!! Cause it sucks!!!!:eek::eek: Pharmacology=The Widow Maker:uhoh3::uhoh3:

I LOVE moscato!!!

someone ate my banana at work the other day. Not a good day for the folks on my floor.
