  1. Dropped pills

    MJB2010 replied to mandaaRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I would probably have documented exactly what happened just to cya, but I am sure you will probably not hear about it again. Gross! Hospital floors are

  2. New grad, first week off orientation and assigned at student nurse

    MJB2010 replied to aem31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    That is completely inappropriate for both of you. You need time to develop your own routine and skills and get comfortable as a nurse and with your skills. Students should go with someone who has at...

  3. Develop a Thick Skin - How?

    MJB2010 replied to *4!#6's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you just have to get used to it. Once you feel more comfortable in your job and have more confidence, you will not take that kind of crap anymore. It takes a little experience, and sometimes...

  4. If I hate being a Cna, should I stop pursuing Nursing?

    MJB2010 replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What specifically did you not like about it? Was it the setting? The personal care? Blood and guts? Poop? There are a lot of types of CNAs. It would be totally different to be a CNA in mother baby...

  5. I want to quit already...

    MJB2010 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ok, you need to sit down and really think about your short term and long term goals. Do you want to be a school nurse, a baby nurse, open an assisted living, or your own home health? Or teach nursing...

  6. Patient requests

    MJB2010 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't know about you guys, but phone chargers are the number one left behind item on our floor. Our lost & found is full of

    MJB2010 replied to Tobygo2's topic in General Nursing

    When you say "swing shift" do you mean rotating between nights and days? Or do you mean

  8. Fresenius interview as new grad what to expect?

    MJB2010 replied to missursula's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    When is your interview? I think the most important thing to know about dialysis patients is that dialysis is a huge part of their life. They have dietary restrictions, fluid restrictions, and need to...

  9. Is it worth taking a pay cut for experience?

    MJB2010 replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Nursing Career

    Congratulations on all the opportunity! From the outside looking in, it appears you need to answer a few questions for yourself. 1. Do you want to leave your "super secure" job. And if you do then:...

  10. Joint commission requesting to see diploma

    MJB2010 replied to akinaRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Show it to them. I would not be worried as long as you have all the necessary

  11. Depressed working the midnight shift~! Anyone else out there?

    MJB2010 replied to sunkissedmspriss's topic in General Nursing

    Night shift is tough! It is isolating, and you become a bit of a shut in. You need to try to make friends with your fellow night shifters, this saved me! Some people are just not made for night shift....

  12. Not sure what to do. Licensed RN working as tech.

    MJB2010 replied to Spikey9001's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What did you get written up for? I think this may be pertinent here. Can you get into the tech float pool? Will that get you a new supervisor? I would try to do this, or transfer to another floor...

  13. No Pay for Mandatory Training

    MJB2010 replied to kmckay's topic in General Nursing

    I would not be working for a company like that. If they are skimping there, I am guessing there are a lot of other questionable practices. For me it comes down to ethics, and a lack thereof on the...

  14. Name Badges Worn Backwards

    MJB2010 replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

  15. Is it worth taking a pay cut for experience?

    MJB2010 replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Nursing Career

    Hospitals have some pretty great differential, did you consider those in your

  16. Burned out and undecided

    MJB2010 replied to FeistyPiscesRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Ok, sounds like par for the course. I think we nurses are getting burned out much faster than years prior due to the decrease in staffing. I think your decision to move on is probably in your best...

  17. Nursing Residency in Georgia

    MJB2010 replied to tamale29's topic in Georgia Nursing

    There is something in the literature about doing 300 hours before you can endorse your license to a GA license, is this what you are referring to? I think if you are a new grad they wave

  18. Northeast Georgia Health System

    MJB2010 replied to mshessle's topic in Georgia Nursing

    It pays about 2 dollars an hour less than the Atlanta area, does actually hire new grads, and gives a good orientation for all newbies regardless of whether they are new grads or not. It might be...

  19. How did you start out?

    MJB2010 posted a topic in Research

    I am curious, how did you get your start in research? What level of education do you have/need? (BSN, ADN, MSN) I am very interested in the field, but all of the positions require 2 years minimum of...

  20. transfer to another unit? how?

    MJB2010 replied to cantdoit's topic in General Nursing

    My previous hospital let you apply to transfer after 6 months, my current one requires a year. Check the policy to see when you can start looking. My current manager has a reputation of "not letting...
