1. I don't know if I can handle another 3 months of this. Dangerous doc?

   al2phoenix replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, it is under his name, but you share a part of that liability. You can better protect yourself by becoming more prepared. If what he's doing is wrong, DO NOT EXECUTE IT. The best way to know what is right and wrong is to arm yourself with knowled...

   al2phoenix replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

   Walking away seems most logical, but that would also make you weak. The risky method is to stay strong... if you can survive it, you'll emerge a better nurse. Anyway, it's your call.

3. what would you do advice please

   al2phoenix replied to futurenicunurse2008's topic in General Nursing

   Well, that is pretty much up to you. But if you'd ask me, I'm more on the practical side... the job that offers more benefit, and guarantees success. The way I see it, both jobs are within your capacity, so why not just choose the better?

4. Did anyone who is a new grad get a hospital job?

   al2phoenix replied to lion09's topic in General Nursing

   Hospitals are finding more favor in those with experience than those without any experience. However, I know of friends who got their job after graduating. It's a matter of determination, luck, and skill.

5. Paraplegia and nursing

   al2phoenix replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sad to say, but it is likely that he's going to be denied unless he would be able to walk again.

6. New nursing student looking for advice.

   al2phoenix replied to Mikil's topic in General Nursing

   To be honest Mik, no one was born with a nursing pin. What I'm trying to say is that Nursing is learned, never acquired, so don't be discouraged when you think you're slow or lousy in the area. It's natural, but the question there is... do you want t...

7. Night shift and daycare- ahh!

   al2phoenix replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

   Have you tried discussing this with your supervisor?

8. Nursing with diabetes??

   al2phoenix replied to rayk1021's topic in General Nursing

   No. It won't make you un-hireable, however, if it starts interrupting your work, then that's another story. Go consult your physician regarding your disease. I believe there are ways of taming it so as it does not progress.

9. I cried somewhat over a minor incident with a patient...

   al2phoenix replied to michelle_d's topic in General Nursing

   There's nothing strange with that either. Different people elicit or submit to different emotions. In your case, hormonal changes may be a factor. I remember postpartum women being prone to postpartum blues and it's also related to hormonal changes. ...

10. Do you agree that Nurses are on the Worst Driver List?

    al2phoenix replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion. YES. While this does not apply to everybody, the statistics have shown quite a remarkable evidence. Stress, I believe is the major factor that contributes to these accidents.

11. I cried somewhat over a minor incident with a patient...

    al2phoenix replied to michelle_d's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe her resemblance to your grandma made you cry, as it made you feel like you've missed your grandma. That's just natural. We are nurses, and nurses are human beings too... we have emotions. Just as long as this...

13. Coworker talking on cell phone while counting narcs!

    al2phoenix replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    If I remember correctly, talking on a cellfone or attending to other personal matters while on work is strictly prohibited on any job. Most especially in a job where life may be at stake. You can inform your superior about this coworker's attitude. O...

14. Is everything really the nurses fault?

    al2phoenix replied to jerrylundergard's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's not always the nurses' fault. Nurses and doctors have their own jurisdiction. Doctors do the diagnosis, and the orders. Nurses do the assists, the carrying out of orders, and the taking care of patient. If a doctor fails to made an order, it...

15. What is the most professional way to quit a job?

    al2phoenix replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, the above resignation letter is the way to go. It's better than going AWOL. You don't have to feel guilty because you had your reasons, and I'm sure they'll accept it. Just inform them ahead of time so they could find you a reliever.
