Ok. I was wondering if anyone has had a patient make up a lie about them and then you got called into the office about it. I had a patient, (I don't remember if they were confused or not) write to my manager and say that she used to be a nurse and w...

Hi. I think it depends on if you have a traveler friendly hospital or not. I've heard bad stories, but I've also heard good stories. I actually just started travel nursing and my agency told me that it was traveler friendly and I was like, "great." S...

I worked registry a few years ago and really enjoyed it. It's good experience working in different hospitals and environments. I am looking into travel nursing right now and it sounds exciting. New city, new experience, new adventure!!!

I looooove nursing!! It has so many great benefits. We have flexible schedules, can work 3 days a week, get PTO and can take vacations easily with our work schedule. It pays well. It's a profession that can make us feel good because we are doing good...

I worked with a nurse who had maybe 3 fingers and she was an awesome nurse. You just can't listen to people that talk negative. They don't know what they are talking about.

WOW!! Kudos to you. You are Super Nurse!!

Wow!!! That's freaky..

Ya, she believed me, but it is so disturbing that people like to complain, tattle and make up things. What if she didn't believe me? I'm sure some managers are not as understanding. Would the nurse get fired?

I had this really nice 40 something year old patient who was admitted for a cardiolite stress test. He was completely independant, walked to the bathroom by himself and really didn't need any assistance. I would check on him periodically and told hi...

Plus, if you keep giving them money then you are allowing them to be lazy. They know they can freeload off you. Cut them off. -Heather

Thank you very much for your comment. I appreciate it.:)

Hi everyone. I have a youtube channel for nursing students and pre nursing students and my objective is to encourage and help them stay positive... If incoming students are motivated, encouraged, and good, it will make all of our lives easier, right?...

Thank you very much for your feedback.:)

Thank you so much for your honest feedback. I will definitely take it into consideration.:)

No kidding!! I wouldn't be surprised if a sign saying those things was posted. More complaints are headed our way:eek:

I've dated a couple doctors from my work and we kept it private. As long as you 2 can agree on that, then the gossip level will be low. Yes, people can speculate, and ask who you are datiing, but you don't have to tell them anything. It's none of the...

The other PACU nurse was probably jealous because you got along better with her patient. You helped transfer her to another floor and called her directly the following day. So, you aren't violating her privacy to anyone else. Some people just don't l...

I was in 10th grade and watching a show called University Hospital about 4 girls training to be nurses. Then a light bulb went off inside my head and I thought that was what I wanted to do. Then I took an anatomy class and became fascinated with the ...

That sounds exhausting calling the doctor for every little thing that is not really a big deal. The doctors have enough to do without being called all the time.

It doesn't make a person a bad nurse if they need to get something off their chest. I love being a nurse and there is nothing I would rather do. However, I have bad days like anyone else, and sometimes the patients are out of control or disrespectful...

Hi. I think you should go where you are most happy. Yes, it can be good to have that MedSurg experience, but it's not for everyone. You can maybe work MedSurg for a year and then do Labor and Delivery. The good thing about bedside nursing is there ar...

I went to nursing school in California and took the nursing boards in Nebraska. The process was simple. Follow newtothecrew advice. =)

Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone else ever gets nervous when giving certain patients pills. Even if a patient tells me they can swallow pills ok and I'm not sure if they really can, I feel better crushing them and putting them in applesauce. I...

Congrats on your new job! You can probably review these drugs online. However, I've been a nurse for a little while and I still have to look up the drugs and check how often to monitor the vitals and what things to expect when administering cardiac d...
