    Tommorrow I'm "On my own" !!!

    tyvin replied to iridius's topic in General Nursing

    The one area that is not talked about regarding work with new nurses enough IMO is the meds. Most patients can survive this and that but if they are given the wrong meds or miss med treatment etc..,...

    workplace disorganization, mental torture and bullying

    tyvin replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    I must respond again as I re-read this thread and think what it says about nurses. How can this be? I know, I know it happens all the time and it only happens in certain place etc... But what I'm...

    workplace disorganization, mental torture and bullying

    tyvin replied to PRETTYODD's topic in General Nursing

    Ya know this shouldn't be allowed to happen anymore as we all know all too well it does. I once watched a group of nurses attempt and almost be successful at ousting a nurse they didn't like. They use...

    Working as an ER Tech with a RN License???

    tyvin replied to CoryHome's topic in Emergency

    I did this 16 years ago but worked as a CNA in home health. It really was the only option for me under the circumstances. I was successful in retaining an RN job 1 year later and have never worked...

    My vent.

    tyvin replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Welcome to the jungle! As far as advice it's that with time and experience all things will work out. My one thing when talking to a doc is to make sure I recite all orders so that we're both clear;...

    Dreams

    tyvin replied to MissJessica,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be more concerned if the patient had Hep C (lol) anyway sounds like you're able to work through the obvious stress you feel from your job. LTC can be extremely stressful; extremely stressful....

    Working as an ER Tech with a RN License???

    tyvin replied to CoryHome's topic in Emergency

    No it's not crazy but know that even though you're working as a tech you will be held to the standards of your license. Good

    Really, how can you remember?

    tyvin replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    My concern is I live in a fairly small town with 1 inpatient psych unit (12 bed unit) and I recognize the patients out in the city all the time. My problem is they also recognize and remember my name...

    What's a good length for orientation for an IMC?

    tyvin replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Nursing

    It is nursing politics as usual and I must concur with afrocentricRN. It sounds like they are attempting to do you a favor in so many words. In short you didn't cut it and I believe from what you...

    Failed NCLEX, School dropped me from program!!!! HELP!!!

    tyvin replied to medeiros808's topic in General Students

    You know you might have something here. If it hasn't been over 2 or 5 years whichever one that applies to the other courses that people are allowed to bridge into their credits why can't it apply in...

    How much do new grad. nurses make in NY

    tyvin replied to flowrate's topic in New York Nursing

    Looked into the link and it's an excellent one. I know that the salaries/wages quoted per state were in fact very close if not quite accurate. I was a little shocked to find out that we here in...

    A long vent, I apologize.

    tyvin replied to Marleyna's topic in General Nursing

    You've read the responses so far which BTW are excellent and there are more to come because this is not an uncommon occurrence in nursing. It can be a cruel reality when someone is jealous, has it in...

    New Grad with an offer at Magnet hospital

    tyvin replied to MsSocalRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You applied to this place; got offered a job and now you are questioning if it's the right decision. OK so if you didn't want to move why did you apply

    dreading going back to work tomorrow

    tyvin replied to fallinnstyle's topic in General Nursing

    I say it was inappropriate as well and I wouldn't sign anything. From now on don't tell work you're calling in sick for any other reason then you're sick (even if you're not). They took advantage...

    Massive changes to 2011 healthcare benefits??

    tyvin replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Analysts predicted this would happen with the advent of Obamacare being realized in 2014 or when ever they decided to enact the whole legislation. Things will only get worse the closer we get to the...

    which nursing speciality is at most risk for being sued?

    tyvin replied to chiuli's topic in General Nursing

    An opinion from one who has never been threatened with a law suit I am along the lines of your thinking but not peds but OB IMO. In OB the nurse has 2 patients. Same goes with the doc. I believe...

    help me pick the right job please!

    tyvin replied to Shondacat517's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you I would seriously look at the effects of 12hr shifts on nurses; especially a new mother and let's throw in that it's night shift. That being said home health is the place to be as far as...

    Failed NCLEX, School dropped me from program!!!! HELP!!!

    tyvin replied to medeiros808's topic in General Students

    How long has the class been in session? If in the past they have let others do it I would pursue that idea with much vigor. If you don't then you know you can't do anything until you re-take that...

    Bedside Reporting

    tyvin replied to OttawaRPN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe you are shouting (is that what the caps mean?) I call unessessary roughness. I haven't met anyone who takes it to such an extent. Nurses are capable of implementing this without having to...

    "Shotty Neck"

    tyvin replied to PrairieRose's topic in General Nursing

    Knowing how to do an internet search is crucial for today's nurse. It's obvious that the OP did not put in "definition of blah, blah, blah" when attempting to do her search as she admitted she didn't...

    Bedside Reporting

    tyvin replied to OttawaRPN's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer what you're calling "bedside reporting" as is also known as "Walking Rounds" in my neck of the woods. No; you don't stand in front of God and Zeus spewing out the most intricate details. Once...
