  4. One Thread Wonders

    cleback replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Meh, I assume a good percent are trolls... like the one who was going to be a prostitute because, you know, money... or the one that said "my coworker was inappropriate with a patient and I told her...

  5. Do you miss bedside nursing?

    cleback replied to anewsns's topic in General Nursing

    I miss clinic work but not the hospital. Everyone is just so pressed for time and stressed in a hospital.. you need one thing and it's like you're asking for their firstborn. I can't say what exactly...

  7. New Grad Job Offers in ICU versus IMC/Tele: Need Input Please

    cleback replied to NurseK1986's topic in General Nursing

    This was my first time hearing anyone refer to IMC as critical care. My understanding is that IMC/progressive care is poorly defined. My old hospital system defined it as med surg requiring tele. If...

  8. Life's little irritations...

    cleback replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    His wife may have seen your earlier interactions and was insecure, pixierose. Now the doc feels he has to ignore you. That would be my guess. Everything is annoying me lately. My coworkers have been...

  9. How can I handle this

    cleback replied to Flossy73's topic in General Nursing

    Hated doing assignments as charge. No one liked their groups. Everyone felt targeted with an admission. Sounds like you have an especially crappy team to work with. I too would gladly relinquish...

  10. Do I have what it takes to be a nurse?

    cleback replied to anjoku13's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite instructor told me nursing needs all types. If you're interested in it and are doing OK in school, I will not try to dissuade

  11. Does experience at a Long-term Ventilation unit help with MSF application?

    cleback replied to GE90's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it's doctors without borders. Op, I don't think many low resource countries will have that kind of medical population. So I think the usefulness of that experience will be

  14. Easier to get a job as a new grad?

    cleback replied to hope.s's topic in General Nursing

    Is experience at a small local hospital better than what, no experience? Of course it is. Also, nurses from small hospitals rock. Whereas tertiary hospital nurses have access teams to place their...

  15. Extreme nurse burn out need help please

    cleback replied to NURSEJSS's topic in General Nursing

    Security for patients with those unacceptable behaviors. You do not have to tolerate being assaulted even by unstable patients. I'm a bit confused though. With unpleasant or icu patients I'm usually...

  17. Did this patient overreact?!

    cleback replied to Apatientnow's topic in General Nursing

    If she said no, he should've stopped. He could've asked what would make her comfortable and worked with that. That wouldve been the decent thing to

  18. Charge Nurse in 6 months?

    cleback replied to iheartnursing91's topic in Nursing Career

    I was charge my first night off orientation as a new grad... because I was the only regular staff member there (working with a bunch of travelers). It was inpatient psych but still no bueno. I'm just...

  19. Help! Not sure which unit to choose.

    cleback replied to foxhoundma's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Opening a new floor before having the staff doesn't scream leadership that cares about ratios. I would bet they're staffed 6:1 more often than not. The other is more of a mystery. I would also ask to...

  20. Should I be asked to get consent without the doctor?

    cleback replied to guest940422's topic in General Nursing

    But you're not the one actually ordering the sedation, even if you do administer it, so the provider still needs to talk to the patient about it. And even if you want consent for the administration of...

  24. Why do you love being a nurse?

    cleback replied to FNPStudentLife's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I don't see how anyone could love candy corn yet I see it on the store shelves every Halloween. That aside, I never loved bedside per se, but it was more meaningful than fast food and never had...

  25. Out to a stressful start.

    cleback replied to Trampledunderfoot's topic in General Nursing

    I think the most important part is do YOU have time to document correctly? You will find nurses who don't in any place you work. If you feel good about the safety of what you're doing, I'd try to...
