    I just set my friend up

    OCNRN63 replied to Kaylle's topic in General Students

    I think you need to MYOB and let your friend do her own due diligence regarding her career. Seriously, are you going to be advising her and researching the internet (or whatever we have) a few years...

    Med-Surg sentence

    That's unconscionable. How in the world did your manager/charge expect you to be a sitter and take care of your

    Med-Surg sentence

    OCNRN63 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Medical-Surgical

    As a former psych nurse, I'm horrified that a patient who attempted suicide was placed on a med-surg unit. You don't have time to sit and watch someone who is suicidal when you have other patients....

    I wouldn't be surprised if in the case of the second child, the parents were the ones interested in the celebs. That poor kid looks like a combination of miserable and

    RN Interview

    OCNRN63 replied to ohhaliciaa's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Try interviewing them before or after your shift. Your internship is giving you a good look at what nurses do, but you only know what it's like to be a nurse when you actually are a nurse. Good luck...

    I know. I wasn't saying I would hang around and work off the clock. I said when you clock out you should leave, although an exception could be made if an emergency takes place such as a

    Respect for New Nurses

    OCNRN63 replied to Taylorgrn15's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had similar problems when I was the manager of a home-health care agency. One of the worst offenders was the chaplain. We needed him to do outreach and assist with marketing, but all he did was...

    It starts with one request, then it's two or three things, then next thing you know you're there a half hour or longer. When I clocked out, I was done, exception being if someone happened to code...

    Actually, there is plenty of research that backs up the benefit of working, even if it's just part-time, after one reaches retirement age. It keeps the mind sharp, the body active, helps with...

    That's just her perception. For all we know, she may not have even made an effort to get to know those "60 year old snots." I say that a because it's unlikely that she would paint all of those women...

    Did you ever consider that they may think what you talk about is equally mundane? I wish I had all the time back that I spent looking at baby pictures I didn't care to see; listening to gripes about...

    I'm not sure who you were responding to, but I was talking about people who would come lolligagging in at 0720, then would need to put their stuff away, get coffee, get situated, etc. By the time...

    What is the difference between NCLEX PN and RN?

    OCNRN63 replied to Marga777's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, uhm, since you've previously posted that you took NCLEX-PN, one would hope you know the difference. Especially since you've also posted about your

    The thing about the coffee was it was never reciprocated; they were always in a mad rush to get out. I remember one time at another job, one of the docs asked me to make coffee. I gave her a long...

    Ah...I see. The life of a "60 year old widowed" snot is less important, less valuable than someone with a husband, toddlers, church obligations, and school." I was never married, but I don't have...
