    15 minutes to give report + no time clock

    In my experience (we do bedside report and huddles), it takes a full hour to do this song and dance. Make sure you bow at the end, before you clock

    Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    Maybe if you pay the nurse directly she won't be as lousy. Totally kidding. There is no extra pay for having students. Sorry you're having this experience. The nurse is probably burnt to a crisp and...

    Pros & Con's of baby making while in nursing school.

    Bang as much as you want while in nursing school but don't get pregnant. If you go into labor mid-semester, you'll probably have to drop out. Not ideal. Nursing school wasn't that hard but I think...

    Nurse Retention ideas

    One more: FOR THE LOVE OF CHEESE, do not add any more tasks to my day without removing other tasks first. I cannot pull time out of thin air, there are only so many hours in the day. If you add...

    Nurse Retention ideas

    I Hate People (my rant)

    I'm digging your honesty. It sounds like you don't hate people you just hate rude people. I can relate. The more I interact with people, the more I hate them. I love dogs too. I have a feeling you...

  22. The working conditions are terrible (no breaks, running around, leaving late). The smart ones leave for greener pastures. The dumb ones stay. Everyday, there is less staff to meet the needs of the...
  23. Great insight. Thanks everyone! I'm starting grad school for FNP in August. Will stick around this sinking ship as long as I can to get my tuition reimbursement. Then, I will run out of that place...
