    Well this is just stupid... Not you, but if it is in fact what happens, your workplace in in for a world of $*. For ANYONE to leave diarrhea on the floor while she waited for someone else to become...

  12. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    inpatientlywaiting replied to sprout2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is true, but when the nurse has 2-3 each (I work at a peds hospital) they can get their own vitals on at least one kid each, and maybe throw a kid in the shower. So many days I get "Gosh Lisa,...

    My husband got all 265. He passed. He was also sure he failed. Be happy you didn't take it on a Friday like he did though, he had to wait all weekend. (we get results next day here in MN) Good...

  14. Got cupcakes, a new badge but can't call myself a RN?

    inpatientlywaiting replied to Mehrdairy's topic in General Nursing

    There are several different ways to look at it, I'm sure. Bottom line is that a blog site is not the place to ask advice that may put your license at risk. Call the board of nursing, them talk with...

    inpatientlywaiting replied to Mehrdairy's topic in General Nursing

    You need to call the board of nursing. My hospital will not allow you to do ANYTHING out of the scope of position you were hired

    inpatientlywaiting replied to Mehrdairy's topic in General Nursing

    You were not hired as an RN at your clinic, you were a bit premature in changing that badge. I understand your excitement, but that would be like me (a cna) graduating and showing up to the hospital...

    inpatientlywaiting replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    TOTALLY see your point, but... I work at a peds hospital, and while I DO KNOW codes can be loud, and there is no way to control it, I would take issue with staff laughing and carrying on. I know...

    inpatientlywaiting replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, the reserve does have contracts, but your only full time during your training. After that its 1 weekend per month, 2 weeks per year. It leaves you more time to do what you want (work/school) and...
