  1. I either need day shift or to be single. Vent

    MJB2010 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who just went back to night shift, this made me laugh. Perhaps OP just thought she would start sleeping all day and being gone all night to see if her husband would notice. Night shift is...

  2. Am I wrong for calling off? Please help!

    MJB2010 replied to np2b4me's topic in General Nursing

    I am also curious to see if they found coverage for your shift. My best advice is to start looking for a new job and get yourself out of there. But you have to leave on good terms, so move fast and...

  3. Night shifters, a few questions

    MJB2010 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I loved the night shift itself, but hate how it ruined the rest of my life. I did rotate, which I do not recommend. When I did straight nights I stayed up all night on my nights off and it did see to...

  4. Does an obese nurse set a bad example?

    MJB2010 replied to sheyoung's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Funny, I think becoming a nurse has been the least healthy thing I have ever done. With the stress, the long hours, and the beating my body takes each day all I can do to rest on my days off. I am...

  5. Whoever invented the lunch and learn

    MJB2010 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Should get a swift kick in the rear. I find it so irritating that the ONLY break I get if I even get one has to be spent on a lunch and learn. If there is info I need to know for my job, they should...

  6. Whoever invented the lunch and learn

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    for ours they take over the breakroom and they even go so far as to chase you down all day while you are working to remind you. The only other option is to

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Lol I hate these

  8. Whoever invented the lunch and learn

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I live in the South. Union is a dirty word here and if uttered, gets your fired. The truth is, they do not fire you for saying union per se. They find another reason and no one wants that target on...

  9. Whoever invented the lunch and learn

    MJB2010 replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    That is even more ridiculous than I thought possible! At ours we usually get cafeteria sandwiches that have been left out for several hours, but they are free. So its crappy free lunch. And they...

  10. Ever accepted a position knowing it was a mistake?

    MJB2010 replied to Gratefulprn's topic in General Nursing

    As a New Englander moved South, this post made me laugh because it is so spot on! It is like a different world here! The Docs usually realize right away that I am "not from around here" like the one...

  11. Need RN's opinion- BIG clinical mistake

    MJB2010 replied to CrazyheadSN's topic in General Nursing

    And honestly for a prn like that, your instructor should have wanted to be present. Or double checked. But these things

  12. Need RN's opinion- BIG clinical mistake

    MJB2010 replied to CrazyheadSN's topic in General Nursing

    I would not call that a BIG mistake. And think of it this way, no harm was caused to the patient, and you will never make that mistake again. Looks like the bp was still pretty high. Do you not have...

  13. I'm trying my best, but seriously stop putting me down on the phone

    MJB2010 replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    Whatever helps you sleep at

  14. New-Grad with 2 offers and need help choosing: Tele or ER

    MJB2010 replied to RNDude2012's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am so jealous, both of your offers have a pension! I would probably take number 1 if I were you, UNLESS your heart is in the ER. You really need to follow your gut here, because you will always...

  15. Benefits question

    MJB2010 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does your employer provide short term and long term disability? My new employer provides them both as an option but they are very expensive. I do plan to have children in the next year or two maybe,...

  16. Best/Worst Online Schools? Opinions PLEASE!!

    MJB2010 replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    How quick did you complete it? It is like 4K per term

  17. WGU MSN

    MJB2010 replied to Lisa1980's topic in Western Governors University

    Just wondering if anyone has completed the MSN portion and how long it

  18. Do your RN's work as techs?

    MJB2010 replied to madwife2002's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    The RN has 2-4 patients of their own in their pod. The clinic has 12 patients total and one iso which is rarely

  19. Do your RN's work as techs?

    MJB2010 replied to madwife2002's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    RNS always have a pod of patients where I worked. The manager does not take one. In addition to the nurses pod, the RN also puts on and takes off all catheters, does all pre and post assessments, and...

  20. I'm trying my best, but seriously stop putting me down on the phone

    MJB2010 replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    Yes I am very judgemental. But only to bullies, or those that put others down. I have zero tolerance for that kind of crap and if I see someone putting down a new grad or treating them badly, I will...

  21. what's the most important things to know about Dialysis patient??

    MJB2010 replied to beatrice1's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    If they have a catheter, leave the dressing on. It will be changed at dialysis and needs to be kept clean and DRY! Do not ever draw labs from the dialysis cath. If they have a graft or fistula the...

  22. I'm trying my best, but seriously stop putting me down on the phone

    MJB2010 replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    ViceDRN I think it is pretty clear who you are and how you treat people. I also can't help but notice how all of your posts have been

  23. Pros/Cons of Unions?!?

    MJB2010 replied to Nursey103's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I have worked in both union and non union nursing jobs. I can say the unionized hospital was nice because everything was in writing and if the hospital did not follow the contract they had to answer...

  24. Moving to a new city without having any job prospect?

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

    My advice is to get licensed as an RN in South Carolina and put that on your resume. I moved to a new state as a new grad and before I got my license in THIS state I did not get a call back. It is...

  25. Transitioning from Dialysis to Med Surg

    MJB2010 replied to tunsie06's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I worked in dialysis and really enjoyed it, but feared I was losing all my other nursing skills. What prompted me to finally leave was the length of the shifts getting worse (15-16 hours with no help)...
