  1. Fitting in on the floor

    enchantmentdis replied to amarilla's topic in General Nursing

    You won't have this problem so much if you take up hospice or home health nursing; in these careers you will be in your car all day driving to people's homes or to facilities and will be working for...

  2. Fitting in on the floor

    enchantmentdis replied to amarilla's topic in General Nursing

    These are petty things that the others are complaining about. Don't let them trip you up. Sounds like the typical territorial behavior of nurses, which is unfortunate, but very familiar to anyone who...

  3. Current issues with Nursing today...

    enchantmentdis replied to Carla25's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Here's an idea: Why hospitals have high nursing turnover rates or how can management make nurses feel they are respected and needed when money is managements main concern? You will find a dearth...

  4. Cath'ing Females

    enchantmentdis replied to OttawaRPN's topic in General Nursing

    I have always aimed upward and just below the base of the privy parts( yes some have very long bases) and have never gone in the lady parts because of this. Give the urine a few seconds to come out...

  5. Really disappointed with the reality of nursing.

    enchantmentdis replied to NurseFrustrated's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I knew i had picked the wrong profession my first day of nursing school. The instructors were barracudas who made it seem like being a nurse was rocket science. They were old, unattractive,...

  6. Really disappointed with the reality of nursing.

    enchantmentdis replied to NurseFrustrated's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, you are right. Nurses are treated like absolute garbage. I would love to kick family members out of the room, tell the patient you are so obese, which is why you are here. I'd love to tell...

  9. what time does your shift really end?

    enchantmentdis replied to sleepy1010's topic in General Nursing

    Your shift ends on time if the oncoming nurse has had coffee, slept well, and is not PMSing or having hot flashes, and actually allows you to talk non-stop interuptus during your report. And you will...

  10. Get fired or resign from new grad program

    enchantmentdis replied to Aurora21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It always looks better if you resign. Immediately apply online for unemployment and describe what happened in the application. Because you were not fired you will probably be able to collect...

  11. New Grad why can't I get hired???

    enchantmentdis replied to RNBuckeye's topic in Ohio Nursing

    You can't get a job because hospitals are squeezing pennies until the buffalos

  12. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    enchantmentdis replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    enchantmentdis replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! This is what OP needs to

  16. Resume - should I leave off my lousy work history?

    enchantmentdis replied to Irock's topic in General Nursing

    If you leave off the non-nurse related history just fill those years in with other stuff--home-based business, college courses, nursing care of sick relatives etc... I know, all hospitals want long...

  17. Is my supervisor trying to get me to quit?

    enchantmentdis replied to LNDRN19's topic in General Nursing

    You are not going to be able to remedy this situation where you will come out with a better deal. Neither the supervisor or AN are going to be of any help to you. This is the cut-throat business of...

  18. fired in first 60 days

    enchantmentdis replied to kjton's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You will be able to find a new job, but it is a tough job market right now as you have already figured out. It is common to be fired from a first nursing job. Orientations are never long enough and...

  19. Best paying hospitals? Best places to work?

    enchantmentdis replied to NURSESrMEAN's topic in General Nursing

    Your moniker is offensive and you are obviously only interested in money. Research best paying hospitals,

  20. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    enchantmentdis replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I came from a nightmarish background. Both parents beat each other up and fooled around on each other on a regular basis. Grandfather molested every girl in the family, including me. He told me i...

  21. Question about Kaiser

    enchantmentdis replied to wareagle31's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Kaiser is terribly political. Most Kaiser floors have CNAs as sitters, have no LVNs, and the RN is stuck doing primary care. Kaiser also has rid itself of charge nurses; instead there are assistant...

    enchantmentdis replied to erosa962's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LVNs in home health do wounds, wounds,

  23. What does an LVN do as a home health nurse?

    enchantmentdis replied to erosa962's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You can sign up for shifts at Maxim or any other agency for that matter, and many times will get a low census one hour before the shift starts= no money. Also, even if you are called off, they will...

  24. Dumb ? from a new nurse. What does "floating pool" mean?

    enchantmentdis replied to Irock's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Float pool means that you will not know where you are working every single day you arrive at the hospital. You are used to fill in spots where nurses call in sick, etc... You do not have a home base....

  25. instructor is out to get me

    enchantmentdis replied to utadahikaru's topic in General Students

    You just can't trust people. Never complain to anyone about another person. It will get back to that person and you will hear about. People have fragile egos and can't stand criticism, especially...
