    Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    ThePrincessBride replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Tone down your condescension. You will win more with honey than vinegar. Allnurses and reddit have done numerous polls over the years, and by far, floor nurses prefer 4 days off vs 2 days off...

    Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    ThePrincessBride replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Most nurses do not want to go back to 5 days a week, not with the conditions of the hospital today. And yes, I have been a patient in a hospital and I did not care who took care of me, just as...

    Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    ThePrincessBride replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Or they could hire more RNs and CNAs and pay them what we are worth. Hiring LPNs in acute care is not helping RNs...it just creates a bigger burden and increase nurse to patient ratios. I...

    Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    ThePrincessBride replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Working 5 days, 40 hours per week would make the burn out FAR worse than only working 3 days, 36 hours per week. If they forced bedside nurses to work two more days and four more hours per week,...

    Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    ThePrincessBride replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Team nursing in today's acute care is a horrible idea. My hospital is looking at bringing back team nursing. So instead of being responsible for 5 patients (which I would prefer), the RN will be...

    Old Timer's Take on Fixing the Nursing Shortage

    ThePrincessBride replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Good points but I will say not all BSN nurses come out clueless and unable to function. I had a preceptorship in my last semester and by the end I was taking full patient load and was able to hit the...

    She quoted me not once but twice and the language is pretty pointed. She seems like she is looking for a fight, putting words in my mouth, and I'm just not here for

    Can floating experience count as experience on my resume/applications?

    ThePrincessBride replied to lindsayCalifornia's topic in General Nursing

    4 or 5 times is not frequent in the slightest, so no, do not be putting NICU experience on your resume as that is a dangerous misrepresentation of your skill level. And no one should be...

    Who said she shouldn't face consequences? Who is justifying her actions? Maybe you should chill out and actually read the thread before you come in guns blazing...it makes you look foolish and...

    Too Specialized?

    Offensive Raise Structure

    ThePrincessBride replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    From my personal experience, Gen Z does not want to earn their stripes at all. They whine about having to work weekends and holidays and nights even though they work in a 24/7

    I'm aware of the case but I am also looking at the case through the eyes of a Black woman and I know if I made an error not even as egregious as RV, I would have been destroyed. Because let's face it,...

    I agree the BON royally screwed up. She should have had her license yanked immediately after the error was reported. And I totally understand why you think she needed to be charged. I'm...

    She most likely would have never gotten her licensed reinstated after that error. Charging her did more harm than good. Now more healthcare workers are going to be less likely to report errors...

    Did I go the wrong route?

    Why would you be limited? You did ER which is like med surg on steroids with some ICU thrown into the mix. What is it about your job that makes you unhappy? Find out that first before thinking...

    ThePrincessBride replied to Guest1192979's topic in Nursing Career

    So you want to be a surgeon? You'd have to do 2 years to get your prerequisites for med school, 4 years of med school and about 6 to 7 years of residency. So...you will be 47/48 by the time you...
