  1. Help with clinical goals

    Roseyposey posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am starting my first adult health clinical rotation on Monday and need serious help establishing goals. My goals - learn as much as I can and pass the course! I just don't think the faculty will buy...

  2. All in my head?

    Roseyposey replied to JVoEDrn's topic in General Nursing

    If you have no problems with any sticks besides this one, let someone else start his i.v. and get over it. Accept that you are not perfect and quit wasting so much of your mental energy worrying...

  3. Dr Oz's show on antidepressants...your thoughts?

    Roseyposey replied to Marshall1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I did not see this show, but feel the need to comment anyway. We could all take better care of ourselves - eat better, exercise, etc. Will it help us feel better? Probably, but speaking from...

  4. Super Obese

    Roseyposey replied to anotherone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What I don't understand is how the staffing is not any different for caring for this patient population. It is not fair to the patients or the nurses. My job description requires that I can lift 50#...

  5. End of Per Diem?

    Roseyposey replied to hdawnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I certainly hope not. I have two per diem jobs instead of a full or part time job. I can work when I want, don't work when I don't want to work, and no holidays. No benefits either, but it...

  6. Feel Horrible, Have Lost All Confidence....

    Roseyposey replied to LatinRN1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It sounds like you have learned from the experience, and that is all you can do. The patient was not harmed, and you will be more careful next time. There's not a nurse who's been in practice for...

  7. I dropped out. Please console me

    Roseyposey replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    "After one failed semester." Maybe I misunderstood this statement and you passed your semester and then withdrew. If so, I am terribly sorry and apologize. You shouldn't feel guilty if you passed...

  8. Rule follower-how to survive

    Roseyposey replied to greetings's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with GrnTea - the OR would be a good fit, plus you would have the benefit of working more independently, so you wouldn't feel compelled to "help" everyone else see their mistakes. You may not...

  9. Am I in big trouble?

    Roseyposey replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    This is definitely a system-level problem. I would take the advice given here and not only talk to your manager about it, but bring a couple of ideas on how to prevent this from happening in the...

  10. The best walking shoes for nurses

    Roseyposey replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Danskos hands-down. They are ugly but I have zero joint pain. They are about all I wear besides my running shoes (which I only wear, oddly enough, when running). I even have sandals. As far as the...

  11. Extremely BAD night...

    Roseyposey replied to SweetMelissaRN's topic in Emergency

    I was wondering the same

  12. Graduate Reserch Project

    Roseyposey replied to SamBSN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think ONLY a NP should be allowed to do this - not an RN. APRNs have additional training in the lady partsl exam that RNs do not have. Only an NP can Dx what any other issues may be with the...

  13. Do you talk about work at home?

    Roseyposey replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, don't talk about it...other than "crappy day, leave me alone." No desire to talk about nursing if I am not getting paid to do

  14. Should I look for a new job in this situation?

    Roseyposey replied to treeye's topic in Nursing Career

    Nope, if they're not making a big deal out of it, I wouldn't. If they have a plan for you, take advantage of it; they must see your value. I constantly review my performance and see what I could...

  15. I dropped out. Please console me

    Roseyposey replied to mclennan's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I am going to be the meanie here. Really? You had a scholarship and just decided to give up? I'm sorry, I am not going to give you permission to flush that down the toilet. You should...

  16. You make the decisions on YOUR shift and I'll make the decisions on MINE

    Roseyposey replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Really???? They criticized you for that??? I have given the iv Morphine while the patient is taking the po Percocet. Of course, pain management is my passion, so I am probably over zealous. If...

  17. TPN order I'm confused on if this is too much or too little for this patient

    Roseyposey replied to ren09's topic in Patient Education

    Is this your

  18. How Ideas to Cut ER Expenses Could Backfire

    Roseyposey replied to bebbercorn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I absolutely agree that the patient does not go to the ER with the diagnosis, so let me get that out there. We are all taught that chest pain is serious until all red flags are ruled out. period....

  19. sooo tired of staff without ANY compassion or empathy!!!

    Roseyposey replied to nervousnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know you are venting, and I agree with you. That being said - how can this be solved? Do you have volunteers that would come and visit her? Is there a chaplain in the hospital, or does she have a...

  20. Do doctors have any idea what we nurses do? lol

    Roseyposey replied to missladyrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's so familiar. We have a doc who hates all anti-emetics except Zofran. When it didn't work, I called for further orders and was given an order for Anzemet. uhhhhmmmmmm......So when that didn't...

  21. Trivial detail...rainbow stethoscope chespiece?

    Roseyposey replied to fnpL's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Very cool! If I was in the market for a new stethoscope, I would definitely get that one! I am one to be a bit "off-beat" myself, and I have found that patients love it. I have never been accused...

  22. Health Insurance rates...

    Roseyposey replied to HippyDippyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Had a job that I would have owed them money every month to cover myself and family. Thank goodness nothing

  23. Any other nurses have a baby voice?

    Roseyposey replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, I'm at the other end of the spectrum. My poor son (who is an adult) still has people who think it's me when he answers the phone. I would love to have a voice that doesn't sound like a...

  24. Surgery floor nurses

    Roseyposey replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    This is just horrible. It is so unfortunate that something like this has to happen to bring about change. It can be a hassle, but I think our policy of the PACU nurse not leaving the room until an...

  25. Surgery floor nurses

    Roseyposey replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not going to flame you. I understand the patient safety issues regarding shift change. Nobody should be rude; I don't understand why nurses don't support each other better. It is courtesy to...
