  1. HELP!! 1 job offer and another interview!!!

    cleback replied to vcu17's topic in General Nursing

    If you think the first would be a good fit, then accept it. The saying is "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." You could call the second hospital, explain you got an offer but would like to...

  2. New Grad Nurse - step down or oncology?

    cleback replied to jlp10's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In my experience, the oncology floors are medsurg floors that also can do chemo. Some patients who don't need chemo and only have a history of cancer end up on the oncology floor. So if the floors are...

  3. Just grin and bear it!

    cleback replied to mi_dreamin's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's just a carryover from when kiddos were in their house. When my kids are around, I call my husband dad. I can see how it would persist. My grandparents did this

  4. Trying to decide on nursing school

    cleback replied to Acraeinae's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. Yes-- it was one of the challenges that attracted me to nursing. I will never be an extrovert but that's ok. My people skills have gotten better overall. 2. Yes-- maybe not right away (8-hr nights...

  5. Does nursing ever get easier?

    cleback replied to Red_Diamond's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You need a good brain sheet. I write down the tasks that need to be done and physically cross them off when I complete them. I feel like the process of writing it down helps my memory and crossing...

  6. BSN to DNP (FNP or AGNP)

    cleback replied to legendcole97's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm not sure what you mean by a concentration without aprn degree? Is that a non-np degree? That would really depend on what you want to

  7. BSN to DNP (FNP or AGNP)

    cleback replied to legendcole97's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would really discourage a doctorate program at this point. It is heavy on program development/evaluation/quality improvement. Pretty much all of my classes required you to pick a clinical problem...

  8. If the government legalizes marijuana in the US...

    cleback replied to GlenwoodUSN's topic in General Nursing

    This.

  9. Fired for bad leadership - board of nursing investigating

    cleback replied to jjoechezzz's topic in General Nursing

    Unprofessional conduct and poor leadership seem very different to me. The former could include racist jokes or harrassment whereas the latter could be an unclear vision for the organization or failure...

  10. Page MD off work?

    cleback replied to Lapreea's topic in General Nursing

    If you were involved in their care, no. I feel like the bigger issue would be working off the clock... labor laws and all that. Why not just have the next nurse

  11. Fired for bad leadership - board of nursing investigating

    cleback replied to jjoechezzz's topic in General Nursing

    For petes

  12. Med error...need to vent!/suppoet

    cleback replied to clh8987's topic in General Nursing

    I remember giving mealtime insulin at hs. Clicked the wrong button. Shook me up for a while. It changed my practice to checking the due meds on emr to make sure they were all appropriately taken off...

  13. Nursing specialties for the moms out there.

    cleback replied to Kiwi5133's topic in General Nursing

    Clinic nursing? Public health? I don't know many of either that put in a lot of overtime. I wouldn't do home health since I know a lot of HH nurses that take paperwork home with

  14. Fired for bad leadership - board of nursing investigating

    cleback replied to jjoechezzz's topic in General Nursing

    Wait... so in addition to being reported to the BON for poor nursing practice, I also have to worry about being reported for poor leadership? Does malpractice insurance even cover

    No advice but congrats on the sobriety! Wish you all the

  16. What in hades.

    cleback replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like they'll die in

  17. Which areas in hospital least physically demanding?

    cleback replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    OK.. not sure why you felt the need to use quotes... feels a little condescending, but your comment is noted. 911 would also be a valid option when a situation becomes physical. My experience is in...

  18. Which areas in hospital least physically demanding?

    cleback replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    Technically, security should handle these physical situations but sometimes they don't respond fast enough. As a fit 22/23 year old in psych, I sometimes came home from my shift sore from restraining...

  19. newer nurse needing advice on switching job

    cleback replied to czerwodl121's topic in General Nursing

    Your questions and concerns sound very appropriate to address to your manager at the time of hire (when you would negotiate things such as orientation) or your nurse educator that covers addictions....

  20. Tylenol for fever in a patient elevated LFTs

    cleback replied to sweaver617's topic in General Nursing

    It depends how elevated. But you said they were trending down too, so he's improving. In my experience, docs avoid Tylenol if it's to the point of liver failure but are otherwise generally OK with...

  21. New grad dealing with mixed feelings not sure what to do

    cleback replied to nursex23's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You realize you will have all the same feelings of being new and incompetent on a nicu or L&D floor, correct? I'd stay and work through the challenges now... build confidence and some basics...

  22. Which areas in hospital least physically demanding?

    cleback replied to TinyDancer01's topic in General Nursing

    Would having the school nurse background help you in

    cleback replied to marie_macmillan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    All nurses should practice

  25. Struggling new grad in need of advice

    cleback replied to 1012ht's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would try to stick it out and reevaluate when you're on maternity leave. If you'd leave right now, it sounds like you'd be trading work stress for financial stress. I'm not sure what's the greater...
