    What do you hate most about your job?

    noyesno replied to PancakeSaturdays's topic in General Nursing

    1. Labor law violations (never getting a lunch break) 2. No safe lifting/lifting equipment 3. "Leader" rounding that seems to undermine the staff (have had patients call me saying "your manager was...

    How often does the CNO address nurses? Why? How?

    noyesno replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Four times a year, there is mandatory meetings with the CNO. You usually have to come on your day off to attend. Every time, it is a frustrating waste of time. Other than that, I don't really see this...

    Meaning of your username?

    noyesno replied to Flightless Bird's topic in General Nursing

    When I created it, I really liked ice cream. I don't crave it like I used to. I like things to be black or white, no gray area please. A math person. Nothing frustrates me like an English class,...

    Have any of your patients ever told you that you're a good nurse?

    noyesno replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I get told that pretty often but it's usually for things that don't really make me a good nurse (bringing them drinks, extra pillows, etc.). One time, while being told how great I was, I was about to...

    Hey, Depaul MENP graduates...

    noyesno replied to Elsa15's topic in School, College Programs

    Whoops, the "NP" in the degree title threw me off. Thanks for the clarification.

    New Hire Blindsided by Feedback!

    noyesno replied to CardiacRNLA's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a bad environment. Disorganized, hostile, bad communication. Keep showing up, get some cardiac experience, and leave for a different

    Usually have 6 patients. Report gets out around 7:45 am. I do a quick round to introduce myself and make sure my patients are alive and safe. I get the med pass going by 8:00 am/8:15 am. I'm told to...

    Hey, Depaul MENP graduates...

    noyesno replied to Elsa15's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm not keen on school debt. I did a BS in another field, then an ADN, then a BSN, and now I'm in a MSN program for NP. I haven't accumulated any school debt via this route. In my opinion, nursing...

    Nurses: How far is your commute?

    noyesno replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

    One mile. I roll up the hill. Then, I roll down the hill. Just like Jack and Jill. I think I'm Jill in the scenario and my car is Jack? 12 hour day shift. Sometimes, I envy my coworkers with longer...

    The effects of not reporting harassment

    noyesno replied to Funkymiss187's topic in General Nursing

    Way to stand your ground. You handle this guy quite well. This doc is out of control. Can you write him up (in an incident or safety report)? Your manager needs to grow a

    Boss unhappy they hired a new grad

    noyesno replied to sageone's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, your boss is a jerk. You are a new grad. It is going to take you longer to learn than an experienced nurse. She normally doesn't hire new grads because of this. However, she hired you, a new...

    I am a new nurse and I am hating my job

    noyesno replied to prubio352's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I don't know, it doesn't get too much better. Especially, with that ratio. What happens if you break the contract? Can you transfer within the hospital? They probably have the contract because they...

    Scripting?

    pre employment drug screen help

    noyesno replied to Ozymandia's topic in General Nursing

    No. No. A doctor will call you after you "fail" the drug screen and ask what pharmacy you go to or for your prescribing physician's contact information. He/she will verify your scripts and you will...

    Is it illegal to place a towel over a patient's face?

    noyesno replied to poolnurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This thread's cracking me up. To answer your question, I don't think it's "illegal" per se but it's definitely not right. I'd probably wear a face shield around this patient and stand back as much as...
