  1. Work calling 3-4+ times a week to come in

    himilayaneyes replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

    You aren't obligated to work any overtime for your job...as long as you work your shifts you're fine. If you're supposed to work 3 days a week...work 3 days a week and be done. I'm young, single, no...

  2. Primary household earner?

    himilayaneyes replied to martymoose's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the primary breadwinner since I'm single. If I don't work, I don't eat. Thank God I'm a nurse (good job).

  3. I was reported again, this time by the bookeeper......

    himilayaneyes replied to Vonique's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That is hilarious...a book-keeper reporting you for this nonsense. My suggestion is next time you see that particular person...ask them to help you put a patient on the bedpan...say you just need...

  4. getting married and need advice

    himilayaneyes replied to Itsme13's topic in General Nursing

    Check with your state BON...that's the best thing you can do. Usually as long as you submit a copy of your marriage license to the state BON they'll change your license for a fee of course...or you...

  5. I'm just curious...

    himilayaneyes replied to MattiesMama's topic in General Nursing

    Fast fact: I am a RN, BSN 1. What exactly are you proposing we do about the millions of LPN's in this country, as well as the thousands currently going through LPN programs right now? Do you strip...

  6. Would you report this?

    himilayaneyes replied to canesdukegirl's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for your loss OP. Being pregnant isn't an excuse to be self-centered when you're working with patients. We're dealing with lives here. I would do what one of the pp suggested by sending all of...

  7. Traveling for school??

    himilayaneyes replied to heathert_kc's topic in General Nursing

    That's a long way from your home. However, if you want to be a RN badly enough...then it's may be well worth the effort. I used to drive 30 miles both ways to get to work, but only 3 days a week. I...

  8. job advice? posted on general forum, but had no luck.

    himilayaneyes replied to Kinley_Y's topic in Emergency

    Best not to switch jobs so quickly. Stay for at least a year or you'll appear to be a job hopper. As far as not liking the people you work with...so what. You're able to take care of your son right...

  9. when you cant let it go (long vent after a crappy day)

    himilayaneyes replied to Sugarcoma's topic in General Nursing

    Not to sound mean...but here is the reality. People die...especially elderly people. They go to nursing homes and hospitals b/c they're not healthy....at some point...they're going to go downhill....

  10. Student Looking for Answers!

    himilayaneyes replied to jballa34's topic in General Nursing

    Well it really would be impossible to play on the basketball team and study nursing full time. Nursing programs are no joke. As far as months off at a time, you would be able to do that as a nurse...

  11. Non Compliant Wound patient

    himilayaneyes replied to Katwel's topic in General Nursing

    Document, document, document. Document all the education you give her and her refusal of treatment. You can't make someone value their own life. She clearly doesn't value her life....perhaps she is...

  12. What do I ask oncologist re: brain tumor? What would YOU do?

    himilayaneyes replied to RNMarykay's topic in General Nursing

    Ask about benefits vs. risks. What exactly would the treatment entail? How often? What's the survival rate for the disease with treatment? What quality of life would she have? Ask your friend if she...

  13. Tactful way to say why I want to leave?

    himilayaneyes replied to jess477's topic in General Nursing

    Don't quit this job until you officially have another job. LTC is definitely rough. I stay away from it b/c of stories like this. You can always say that you're looking for more of a challenge or that...

  14. I'm a new care nurse

    himilayaneyes replied to fatima ezzahrae's topic in General Nursing

    What is a care nurse? What do you need advice

  15. Does Upper Management Even Have a Clue?

    himilayaneyes replied to Teamlangston's topic in Emergency

    There are jerks at every job....not just nursing. I hear stories from people who work in all types of fields regarding the pettiness they deal with every day. And nurses being mean doesn't necessarily...

  16. How Nurses Can Combat Inequality

    himilayaneyes replied to *4!#6's topic in General Nursing

    If you are interested in the disparities in healthcare, public health nursing is definitely the way to go or community health nursing which is a type of public health nursing. You can even get a...

  17. A follow-up of my only post; RN to MD.

    himilayaneyes replied to Loux's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Practitioners aren't at the bedside like a floor nurse. They do get to see the medical aspects. However, depending on your state's law..you may or may not be able to prescribe certain things....

  18. How do you care for yourself??

    himilayaneyes replied to dixiebelleRN's topic in General Nursing

    I exercise, try to eat healthy, pray...and try to realize that I can't save the world. I just try to do my best for those patients I happen to

  19. sick, worried...

    himilayaneyes replied to JeniRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would go in for a head cold. Take some dayquil with you...put on a mask and suck it up. Plenty of nurses do it. Hopefully, they'll send you home. If not save your sick day for when you really need...

  20. Finding time to schedule "day time" things when working nights

    himilayaneyes replied to KaitRN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally have two sleep schedules one for work and one for when I'm off. For the most part, my body doesn't have a problem adjusting. So even when I'm off from working an night shift..I still have...

  21. How to Become A Nurse....

    himilayaneyes replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your first stop is to the admissions counselor at the college you're attending. You need to see a faculty adviser about what pre-reqs you need to take. You don't want to take courses needlessly unless...

  22. So..is it true what they say?

    himilayaneyes replied to sophie<3's topic in General Nursing

    As one of the pp said, anyone can be trained to insert a foley or start an iv. However, a good nurse will understand the pathophysiology of what is happening with the patient. On the floor, you run...

  23. Why do nurses get licensed by a state board instead of a federal board?

    himilayaneyes replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I believe it's about money and not about convenience for nurses. Every time you go to another state they get to charge you some money. The states aren't about to give that up. Plus, a...

  24. Bad eval

    himilayaneyes replied to evolvingrn's topic in General Nursing

    They always have to write something for you to improve on during your eval. As long as you don't get written up, you're fine. And that cna issue should be brought up to management

  25. Float pool for new grad?

    himilayaneyes replied to jlthompson's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I think you'll be totally lost. New grads with home bases already look lost as it is. You won't know who your resources are as a float nurse. Good
