Well done.

I thought I was going to be rich when I had an idea in nursing school for an organizer, but similar products already exist (like beataclasp).

There should be a discussion category entitled "Cathartic Rants". The biggest problem with nursing is ... other nurses. This is how I feel this morning. Other nurses, awful nurses who are awful people. Nurses whose priorities are as*-backwards; who w...

Oops. Just posted an identical thread. Guess this is how you deal with it. Thx, an.

"I don't know where to go from here." Try the library.

Someone really needs a hug, & maybe a stiff one (drink). Carol, you are obviously an intelligent, compassionate, and rational person. You'll figure it out, and you obviously deserve to be a lot happier than you are. I'm a newer nurse, so I still ...

No sound practical advice here, sorry. But if you were dismissed for reasons you believe are unjust, then it's hard to believe you've truly exhausted all of your options for recourse. I'm not doubting or questioning the reason, I don't care, but you'...

Thx, No. 1431. I can't think of any more off the top of my head, as important as it is and as much as I would like to. I'm shot.

It's supposed to be about teamwork, sure. But it's more about accountability and CYA. Maybe the MD is new, also. Doesn't matter. Document, "learn and move on", and don't be so sensitive. This is coming from a big baby who would probably react the sam...

Did anyone do "metOprolol"? As opposed to the common mispronunciation "metoprOlol"? Also, this thread blew up. For real. Word. (I'm so f'n tired, overcaffeinated.)

What everyone else said. My nurse manager is struggling to keep a few people from leaving because of this issue, which is sad and ridiculous. People are either misinformed or commited to challenging anything mandated from on high, regardless of the p...

Hello, All: I think I initially posted this in the wrong place. Any information would be appreciated. I'm about to complete an RN-BSN program and am trying to decide which direction/track I want to take. I am board-certified in Psychiatry-Mental Heal...

Wow. Thanks so much. This site is outstanding.

He lives in Connecticut.

Roy Fokker just hit a walk-off home run. This thread has concluded. Drive home safe.

I started feeling stupid & "petty" as soon as I started typing that last post, but it was too late. I get caught up on here when I am avoiding things like this worthless 15-page family nursing assessment paper. The census is low & I honestly ...

* a very big baby, rather. Huge.

"... We know the numerous distinctions and levels of responsibility between healthcare workers, yes? No. Well, you probably do, but to avoid any confusion when 50 people answer "yess?" when someone calls out for a nurse, we need to advise all the PCT...

I'd say, "Work nights", but I still can't stand certain co-workers & have to deal with the BS of "strong" personalities. I know I couldn't work any other shift, on my unit at least, because of a horrible person or two. I am typically unflappable ...

lotta qualitative and quantitative nonsense out there about the relationship between psych pts & type 2 diabetes ...

& no open shoes unless you want some schizoaffective foot fetishist staring at your toes with his hand in his pajama bottoms.

I started as a new grad working nights on a psych unit. It's been almost 3 years, and, no, you don't get used to it. However, I love my shift. I'm the only nurse, so the autonomy factor is appealing. Nights is great because you may actually find the ...

much appreciated

From another thread in Nursing Informatics: "There are companies out there that specialize in psych software, and those companies are looking for psych nurses because obviously they want experienced people in the field to represent them." I was hopin...

Definitely include your years of experience in any field where you excelled. When it comes times to interview, let your prospective employer know how it has prepared you for the nursing profession. I'm sure it's actually true, and that you can find s...
