  1. What's the easiest job you've ever had?

    enchantmentdis replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    My second nursing job after completing school was the easiest: Outpatient surgery in a hospital. I parked right outside the front door-cool, huh. It was on the first floor in the back of the hospital,...

  2. Dealing With Insurbordinate/Arrogant Co-Workers

    enchantmentdis replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Definitely do the above; just go over all their heads and go straight to the BON. Why should you and the pt's have to suffer with an arrogant fool in the

    enchantmentdis replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. why does medsurg nursing have to be like this?

    enchantmentdis replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: Hang in there, but consider these alternative careers---outpatient surgery, endoscopy, urgent care centers, telephonic/triage nursing, chemo clinics, school nursing, hospice, home health,...

  7. why does medsurg nursing have to be like this?

    enchantmentdis replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing

    Amen to everything you said. Tell it like it is. Honey, i stayed in med-surg tele for over 15 years, and you know what, since day ONE of stepping on the nursing floor i felt like nurses were treated...

  8. I love management!!.....not

    enchantmentdis replied to ooper3076's topic in General Nursing

    Right, you are. I was hospitalized twice, had radiation; and while hospitalized the second time, even while receiving benefits i was given the ax. Sometimes there is no compassion, especially for...

  9. Resume critique, please!

    enchantmentdis replied to canigraduate's topic in Nursing Career

    Love the second resume; you have a good vocabulary--lots of adjectives. With a resume like that you will impress; however the first one is also great, though shorter and less descriptive. Keep the...

  10. Ever have a patient that "turns" on you?

    enchantmentdis replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    As the song goes: "they smile in your face, the

  11. Do you hate doctors?

    enchantmentdis replied to snickerdoodle17_1's topic in General Students

    So sad that you are not even a nurse yet and are already complaining. Your post reeks of insecurity and immaturity. Try not to start off your career with such a rotten outluck. Your fellow nurses and...

  12. What was your first "paying" job???

    enchantmentdis replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Nursing

    My 15 year old daughter now works at Subway. She said she constantly dreams about mayo, mustard, "do you want that toasted". She's cute as can be and takes her job very

  13. What was your first "paying" job???

    enchantmentdis replied to Butterfly0328's topic in General Nursing

    Dishwasher/bus-boy at a restaurant named "Sambo's". I was 17 years old. I drank hot chocolate with whipped cream (was fascinated by the hot cocoa machine), or Sprite with lemons in it my whole shift....

  14. fired... where can a bad nurse go to find a job?

    enchantmentdis replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Me too, worked as a waitress for Golden Corral, Marie Callender's--absolute nightmare, management made it seem like you were working for rocket scientists. Lol. Also worked at McDonald's, Circle K,...

  15. fired... where can a bad nurse go to find a job?

    enchantmentdis replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    I wish you didn't feel so bad, but i know where you are at. You'll pick up where you left off. Take the job at the psych ward; it's a job and you need the money. Or, can your husband or partner, if...

  16. why???

    enchantmentdis replied to smily11's topic in General Nursing

    I just me the task oriented part: I&Os, implementing orders, keeping track of vitals, drsg changes, telemetry, endless paperwork. I did all this stuff for 15 years, and it does get old after...

  17. why???

    enchantmentdis replied to smily11's topic in General Nursing

    American society has always valued those that make a higher salary. Doctors are in this category. Doctors also have a lot of power--prescribe meds, do surgery, etc... I have always had the suspicion...

  18. Never thought I would make a post like this, but I have to vent...

    enchantmentdis replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    Right. I had the same problem with a young upstart who was rude to me while showing off to a nurse she was precepting--she rolled her eyes repeatedly, interrupted constantly, just had an overall bad...

  19. Never thought I would make a post like this, but I have to vent...

    enchantmentdis replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    This is why i thank my lucky stars every day that i am a hospice nurse--in my car alone; i drive to the patient, fix the problem, get the heck out of dodge, and do not have to deal with other nurses...

  20. Ridiculous V/S...are you out of your mind?

    enchantmentdis replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Did it ever dawn on her to recheck, or in fact to check the other arm before running to you first? Sounds like possibly a lazy, prideful CNA; or maybe a language barrier? Inservice needed, stat!...

  23. Akward work situation??

    enchantmentdis replied to Devie06's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why give him your number if you are a married woman? Weird move. Now you have to deal with the politics of the situation.

  24. Is this a common requirement for being hired at a hospice?

    enchantmentdis replied to goodoldroxie's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    This is one of the reasons to not offer personal information in an interview. Just keep it hypothetical. Scenarios are better than true stories; and an interviewer should not encourage you to discuss...

  25. Fired from my first job today......Feeling like a failure.

    enchantmentdis replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Nursing is not one of the professions you can talk about on facebook, actually almost any job you have cannot be discussed on facebook. Sad, but
