  1. what else can I do?

    bellcollector replied to wrkoutgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I have not found nursing to be a very supportive or positive environment. I, like you, love the busy hands on work. I also like the pt contact however I have not found a good coworker...

  2. Help..new at 12 hour shifts and changing jobs!

    bellcollector replied to PurpleLovinRN's topic in General Nursing

    I actually prefer 12hr shifts. Just make sure you get your sleep. Don't sell yourself short. You have learned a lot more than you realize on the med/surg/oncology floor. I think you will most...

  3. DON threatened the Nursing Staff - pending Dennis landfall

    bellcollector replied to pensacola_LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree we are professionals and we know we may be facing crises when we chose this field. That is why it is imperative that management have in place good plans for such events. I agree with the...

  4. Out of work too long having doubts(way long post)

    bellcollector posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, This is a bit more personal than I have chosen to be up until now. I just don't know where else to turn. The story is kind of long but necessary. I had been working in a facility that was a...

  5. Can any RNs tell me if this is true

    bellcollector replied to geminiskittels's topic in General Nursing

    I would also like to add that I think Timothy appears to be taking a bit of a beating considering he made it clear he was open enough to rethink his previous postion. Lets be professional enough to...

  6. Can any RNs tell me if this is true

    bellcollector replied to geminiskittels's topic in General Nursing

    I too have consulted with my state BON concerning the use of narcotics by nurses and STNA's on the job. Fortunately for me and those working in my state our BON is a progressive and forward thinking...

  7. Can any RNs tell me if this is true

    bellcollector replied to geminiskittels's topic in General Nursing

    It so completely does make a difference if you are impaired by the drug or not. In my state one can work while taking narcotics for the relief of chronic severe pain. I have worked with nurses in...

  8. Rediculous NC3 nerves

    bellcollector posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi all, I am enrolled with excelsior. I was crusing along at an ok rate with my study partner. Even through some unbelievable bumps in the road. I had earned all A's until NC2. We did really well...

  9. My Boss (his office) is the Doctor ..oh boy

    bellcollector replied to Annor's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, take the doc aside during some down time and ask him how he feels about you being honest with him in the cases in which you disagree with him. He may say hey please be honest with me or he...

  10. Isn't this a joke?

    bellcollector replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    I must be very gullible. Both my son and I have been in the hospital quite a bit. The hospital we use for my son always has a nurse call a couple of days after he is dismissed. She just calls and...

  11. Looking for scrubs in all the wrong places . . .

    bellcollector replied to rn/writer's topic in General Nursing

    I am 37 don't know if you consider that old or not but I personally like www.scrubsxpress.com they have some funky but also some very tasteful patterns. Very reasonabley priced and though light...

  12. How many nurses are unemployed or between jobs right now?

    bellcollector replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently unemployed. I worked in LTC and got hurt on the job when my MD wrote me off for a month I was told I no longer had a job. They are still fighting the workers comp. however so far I...

  13. Safe Harbor when to evoke it?

    bellcollector replied to Jdon's topic in General Nursing

    I do not feel safe harbor is appropriate in this situation. I also do not feel 20 residents in a nursing home is unsafe when you are provided a med aid also. I believe that in the event such as flat...

  16. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    bellcollector replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    I enjoy the show and take offense to anyone telling me how I should or should not feel about a television show. I also don't think nurses are the ones to ask if the show is accurate to the world of...

  17. Questionable practice

    bellcollector replied to JaimeeG's topic in General Nursing

    I could not agree with JBudd more. It is a way of controlling and demeaning the person. I recently worked at a facility with a resident who had behavior issues. Yes that is fact he did have...

  18. comfy shoes

    bellcollector replied to analiezel's topic in General Nursing

    I love my crocs. They are the highlander style and all white though they do come in other colors. They feel like walking on butter and last my whole 12 hrs. They do make kind of a funky suction...

  19. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    bellcollector replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Sunshine. Though I am a nurse I can not tell you how many times I have seen and heard nurses talk or act in a demeaning fashion to CNA's. I know very few nurses who would not become...

  20. Trying to find my Niche

    bellcollector posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi all, I am an LPN working on my ASN/RN. I have been an LPN for 6yrs pretty much exclusively in LTC. I have dealt with a lot of death and dieing. When I first went into nursing school I thought...

    bellcollector posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have been watching tonights 20/20 on food mythis. They just debuncted the fact that we need 8 8oz glasses of water a day. Their expert says you get most of the H2O you need from the food you eat...

    bellcollector replied to bellcollector's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes I am enrolled. A friend and I are doing it together and we take about 6wks per test. We both feel we could be doing it a bit quicker up until now we have been having only one study night per...
