   15 Minutes in the Life of a Nurse

   CrazierThanYou replied to NurseJulie31's topic in Nursing

   That is a fantastic idea! I've always said I don't understand why the lab can't just notify the doctor directly.

   But, she was fine this morning!

   CrazierThanYou replied to spotangel's topic in Nursing

   Oh my. I worked in ER for a while but I had to leave because the reactions to unexpected deaths overwhelmed me. Thankfully, I was never involved in a pediatric code.

   What do you think of 12 hour shifts?

   CrazierThanYou replied to Joe V's topic in Rock

   12 hours, hands down. I don't think I could go back to a job where I only had 2 days a week off. Yes, 12 hours is a long shift but it's a trade off to work on fewer days a week!

    100k in loans worth it?

    CrazierThanYou replied to ravindram's topic in Nursing

    Regardless of your age, $100K is not worth it. You'll be working to pay the loan payments.

    coworkers constantly checking your charting

    CrazierThanYou replied to MNNICU, RN's topic in Nursing

    I used to work with two nurses who refused to take report from the previous nurse for 30 to 45 minutes while they combed over every inch of that nurses charting. They used it as a bullying tactic.

    The Patient's "Guests"

    CrazierThanYou replied to rnsheri's topic in Humor

    I just recently had a patient, status post CVA who could not walk independently, which his wife knew. But that didn't stop her from turning his bed alarm off and when he got up, she neither got up to help him nor did she call for help. Of course, th...
