  6. Nursing Is A Business: Get Used To It!

    This thread is not meant to squash any dreams, but only for people to know and remember the harsh reality of work life. Also the job market is better or worse in certain areas. Here in NYC hospitals...
  7. Unrealistic nursing students

    Its understanable why people are so heated over this subject. II honestly believe the truth is that we no matter which side of the coin we are on all have valid points. To the OPs defense she is an...
  8. I Can't Believe My Charge Nurse!

    Our manager who is her boss doesn't care and in fact may defend her incompetence, because she too hates her job and doesn't like confrontation by her own
  9. So I've tried to work with my charge over the last few months and now I just think things are getting a bit ridiculous. Previously I explained my current work environment as a very small clinic that...
  10. I've Been A Nurse For 5 Years & Still.....

    Funny you say that she always says she wished her husband made more money so that she didn't have to work. Seriousy. Now she's coming into the reality that she has to work and make something of her...
  11. I've Been A Nurse For 5 Years & Still.....

    She was hoping her current position in research would look good on her resume but now she's realizing that she not learning anything and is losing the small skill set she obtained in amb
  12. Pediatric Dosing/Infusions- Help????

    Hello all! Working as an RN in the ER, occasionally I float to the PEDS ER and what makes me the most nervous is my dosages. I lexicomp and calculate every medication before I give it (as a prudent...
  13. So I currently work in a non-walk in/appt only outpatient clinic with a staff of 7, 3 RN's 2 NA's, and 2 Clerks, with a census of about no more than 30 patients a day, 10-15 on average-most days....

  15. NYC Nurses: Rockefeller University Hospital???

    Hi Grachia, yes research nursing is very interesting, but I would not recommend RUH, very low nursing staff morale and little respect for RN's as that we're not the ''scientists'' also poor...
  16. I find that odd. The foundation of nursing skill and ''critical thinking'' is having some experience with bedside care. I understand alot of new grads are running away from the bedside faster than...
  17. I've always kept my paper list of patients I have when I take report and thoughout the shift of the patients I've had. Now I keep a notebook just in case management pulls me in for questioning I can...
  18. I know I know not all surgeons and docs are like this, but in all my years as a nurse this is the most rude I've ever seen any doc. So had an elderly patient last shift who came in due to a fall....
  19. To make a complicated story simple. I do not believe a nurse's aide should be working over a RN in any capacity? Am I right or am I being over zealous about this. Some background: I currently work at...
  20. Is ER experience wanted ANYWHERE?!

    Sigh I know the feeling. I tried for a cath lab position after a year and a half in ED, they told me they were looking for someone with cath
  21. Best way to go from non bedside nursing to bedside nursing

    I would encourage you to start on your BSN/BS, many hospitals wants bachelors nurses and even if they see you have started the program they will give you some consideration. On your resume can you...
  22. RN Reporting To A Nurses' Aide?

    Good idea. I will be very honest, at this place it seems like alot of ideas are generated but are slammed down. Even the director of nursing (who started when I started 4 mo's ago) is realizing she is...
  23. RN Reporting To A Nurses' Aide?

    well yes as far as setting up for procedures I don't see anything wrong with that. I added that to show how much more they do than the average cna in a nursing home or hospital. It seems that they are...
  24. RN Reporting To A Nurses' Aide?

    I think because the hospital is such a small component of this large research univeristy alot of policies and procedures were never created and no emphasis was put into have a sound nursing structure....
  25. The one ENPC class that's in my area for the entire YEAR is filled already!!! and here I am thinking I'm being an early bird registering 3 weeks in advance, guess that's not so early after all. There...
