  1. Thankfulness - What's Yours?

    cleback replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    Grateful for a healthy family and pregnancy. Grateful for new career opportunities that will provide for

  2. Canceled! Jerks!

    cleback replied to Scooter59's topic in General Nursing

    Hear ya... I was canceled after I arrived. Normally, I don't mind some time off but I drove 30 minutes to get there. I hope you didn't actually say those things... or were more diplomatic about it....

  3. Taking a sleep aid when on call?

    cleback replied to boquiabierta's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah this. I know that melatonin will help me get to sleep but I can wake up from it no problem. However, if I take benadryl or unisom, that's when I get groggy and start doubting or forgetting night...

  4. Is this appropriate?

    cleback replied to SuperMomBob88's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have an issue doing it in a pinch but would expect a better solution to be worked out for future incidences (like the automated calls as another poster suggested). My other thought is how...

  5. Nursing student reaching out to the OG's

    cleback replied to chichimel's topic in General Nursing

    My hat is off to you... studying material in a second language is tough. Don't feel badly about needing to study longer than

  6. Employer used my photo without my permission on social media

    cleback replied to Guest915876's topic in General Nursing

    Would you like it to be taken down? Or is it the principle that bothers you and you want your employer to know it wasn't appreciated? Both are valid but I think you should have a clear idea of what...

  7. I didn't wake up on time and was too late to come for AM shift?

    cleback replied to Surgonconurse's topic in General Nursing

    You just jinxed

  8. relocated & want to go back!

    cleback replied to christinand's topic in General Nursing

    This. I imagine you had good reason for changing your life so drastically in the first place that we aren't privy to. Maybe talk it over with your

  9. Help a fellow nurse do better for her patients

    cleback replied to liluiass's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of coronary syndromes? non/STEMI? CHF? What medications are you giving? I find your question to be an interesting one. There's probably a lot that you could do but time is always a...

  10. When you thought it was patients you needed to watch...

    cleback replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    Should've retired Oct

  11. I didn't wake up on time and was too late to come for AM shift?

    cleback replied to Surgonconurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. I've overslept too. Very stressful. It's the reason I set no less than three alarms for the

  12. Sick of managment but need 9 to 5

    cleback replied to Ashimaly's topic in General Nursing

    Add-- infusion

  13. Non-patient care nursing jobs

    cleback replied to Ashley.edwards26's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered getting help for your anxiety? Hate to see you leave a population you like if there are ways to make it

  14. new night shift nurse always tired on days off

    cleback replied to ddrn97's topic in General Nursing

    That was me on nights. Sorry to not be more hopeful but I don't know if it will get better. Some people handle nights better than others. Consider it that you're earning your differential on those...

  15. Accused of not giving dilaudid

    cleback replied to KMULL002's topic in General Nursing

    She already has a reputation for being crazy at your hospital, so I think you're OK for the dilaudid. But a witness is not a bad idea if she's in the habit of fabricating

  16. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    cleback replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's more like a failure to rescue

  17. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    cleback replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, next time you fill out an occurrence report, just stick to the events. The people in safety reviewing those reports will perform a root cause analysis for the causes. It seems you were using the...

  18. occurrence report=doctor hates me

    cleback replied to avado's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that seems fishy. An occurrence report is to review an event for safety and institutional learning. It's not for "writing someone up" for poor behavior. I hope, though, you stuck with just...

  19. Urgent question

    cleback replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Even better. I've never been paid ot for mandated time, though, but I was either part time or requested another day off so never exceeded 40

  20. Urgent question

    cleback replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. That sucks. It's happened to all of us. I'd ask for OT pay and look for another

  21. Is this fair move for my immediate supervisor to report me as noncompliant?

    cleback replied to dehlnmaria's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you must have known it was an expectation otherwise why would you get recertified. I do come from a facility that suspends nurses that are expired on ACLS (maybe because that's when we do our...

  22. Little boy reading

    cleback replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I got a very strong anti-technology vibe from the OP. Call me new-fashioned, but I think children can be raised to be well-mannered and know how to use a phone/pad/computer. Even though it...

  23. Changing Employers

    cleback replied to froggy93's topic in General Nursing

    I second the above poster. Also realize that you will come to the new employer with valuable experience. No system is perfect but each has its strengths. You can bring the good habits your old system...

  24. Wanting to Quit Nursing School

    cleback replied to _ashley_'s topic in General Students

    I would explore other career options before actually quitting... job shadowing, talking to people in the field. You may just be realizing pitfalls of a profession. All professions have cons. The grass...

  25. IMC or Med/Surg

    cleback replied to nurseontheway's topic in General Nursing

    IMC for the background in Tele and having ACLS cert. It may open more doors in the future (maybe). But it's nice to know rhythms and
