  1. I need 50 ways to get out of my med surg job.

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    And I know I shouldn't be on the computer at work, which is my point. I'm so bored. They know I get on the computer, too. In fact, the ADON reminded me I wouldn't be able to piddle on the computer and...

  2. I need 50 ways to get out of my med surg job.

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I'm such a coward when it comes to letting people down. The people at both jobs have been nothing but good to me, which makes it all the worse. I think you all are absolutely right, it would be more...

  3. I need 50 ways to get out of my med surg job.

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I was not being realistic when I assessed my ability to work two jobs. I was being very stupid. What actually happened is that I got mad at my old job (nursing home administration and RN supervisor...

  4. Drug seekers: where's the compassion?

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was nitro...? I remember being young and in the hospital with my 3rd baby. The nurses acted surprised that I chose Ibuprofen 800mg for pain instead of Percocet (and I only took a couple...

  5. The continuing saga of nurses vs. EMTs...

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know this topic has been hashed and rehashed until everyone is probably sick of it, but I had an encounter with an EMT yesterday that left me so mad I had trouble sleeping last night. I had a lady...

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

    I came on to work not long ago and I have a patient who recently had staples removed from the hip after a surgical repair. The tissue around the incision site is now raised and hard, and the area...

  9. Would this be appealing for an RN?

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is a question for RNs. Would this offer sound appealing to you? Full-time position in a long-term care facility working 7am-3pm 5 days weekly (or whichever hours suit you), working every other...

  10. Would this be appealing for an RN?

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    Here is the deal. I currently work in this facility. The management company frowns on RNs pushing med carts, and wants them "supervising." Due to this, I sit in an office most of the day looking on...

  11. Manipulative Boss?

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone ever been in a position where they were made to feel guilty for leaving? Maybe I am interpereting this the wrong way, but I decided to take a new position in another area of nursing (at...

  12. PICC Line Threading ANP (would this be valuable?)

    Born2BWild posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am in an ANP program. My hospital where I work is offering to let me get training to become a part of their "PICC line team." I am wondering if this would be impressive to add to my resume when I'm...

  13. When the tables are turned (nurse on the receiving end of care, acted like a fool)

    Born2BWild posted a topic in General Nursing

    In the years I've been a nurse I've never taken the Hepatitis B vaccine, but the NP program I am in requires it now with no if's and's or but's. They gave me the shot at work today and I acted like a...

  14. Met with supervisor today....

    Born2BWild replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like me. I'm a very quiet and even meek person, but there some things that enrage me and I can't keep a lid on my temper when this happens. Then I turn into a ranting lunatic. I'm not proud...

  15. When the tables are turned (nurse on the receiving end of care, acted like a fool)

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    It was totally consentual. I just couldn't help

  16. When the tables are turned (nurse on the receiving end of care, acted like a fool)

    Born2BWild replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    This is what is embarrassing, I did hop and dance around. I totally trust this DON and his abilities but I couldn't stand the thought of needle slicing through my muscle. The nurse who held me keeps...
