  1. Suggestions for an eager student!

    diligent-trooper replied to AZnursingstudent04's topic in General Nursing

    This is actually an issue you should be approaching your instructor or Nursing School with. It could be a communication issue with the UM, and the staff. It could be an issue that the Nursing Staff...

  2. Help-Desperately Need Advice!

    diligent-trooper replied to LorileeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing home is another alternative. You do not have to stay forever. It is better to be in a nursing position, than to be at Wendy's, or sitting on your

  3. Which Nursing Jobs are the Least Stressful?

    diligent-trooper replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Nursing Career

    How did you get on this floor in the first place? Did you know someone? Any floor in the Acute Care setting is going to be fast paced, and require one to be on the feet all day. Bottom line, it...

  4. What is my license worth?!

    diligent-trooper replied to RN&momof4's topic in General Nursing

  5. Business Casual or Professional for Interview?

    diligent-trooper replied to winter_green's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, l would dress nicely, but comfortably. A nice white shirt, with tie, and shined dress shoes would be all that is needed. I actually had a panel interview with the recruiter, and two unit...

  6. one of my clients i take care is entirely too abusive.

    diligent-trooper replied to britty0804's topic in General Nursing

    Quit... the boss blatantly does not care about the employees. I am sure the boss would react with the same attitude, if the resident took out a 12 gauge rifle and fired it! Oh! Hee...HEE. HEE.......

  7. Are nurses allowed to recommend doctors??

    diligent-trooper replied to KSU-SN's topic in General Nursing

  8. I'm seriously starting to doubt that nursing is right for me!

    diligent-trooper replied to llaura's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL... I would not give to much thought to your present emotional and mental reaction. By the time you graduate from H.S., and then college, you will most likely look at your teens and wonder what...

  9. Helpless Visitors

    diligent-trooper replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    I am getting the sense that some posters are in disagreement with viewing their patients and their family members as "customers." I welcome you to visit the "Medicare and Medicaid" government...

  10. Just a random vent

    diligent-trooper replied to himilayaneyes's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea why people act so hostile and have such an obvious disrespect for the Nursing staff. It seems to me little trivial events set these individuals off, and it is down hill from there. I...

    diligent-trooper replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I think someone is

  12. It seems probie's can't take a joke or laugh

    diligent-trooper replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I think it depends on the certain "newbie." I am a new nurse, and I experienced what you were describing. Working in the ICU, there will be times when a person codes. The nurses, at shift...

  13. Question about morphine

    diligent-trooper replied to pharmgirl's topic in Emergency

    Well, I believe she knew morphine would affect the R/R, which were already compromised. The goal of the intervention with morphine was to relieve the serious pain in this case, which was very...

  14. CPR! quick question!

    diligent-trooper replied to sweetieann's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure what you mean by "immediately"? Is the AED right by you, or you at least know where in the building it is located? If so, don't waste time with beginning CPR. Only reason CPR is even...

  15. This can't be right...

    diligent-trooper replied to neophyte's topic in General Nursing

    I would file a grievance complaint with the hospital to whom, or the department in which handles such actions. I would also get in contact with that P.A. This sounds like an issue with your DON,...

  16. Helpless Visitors

    diligent-trooper replied to Caffeine_IV's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I believe one has to rise to the occasion, and take care of whom ever graces our floor. I is an equivalent to the McDonald's employees being greeted with a bus. Don't like it, some times hate...

  17. Can a nurse report a MD for being rude?

    diligent-trooper replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is the greatest come back line I have ever heard. I believe in the clinical setting it has the same meaning as: ****

  18. It's all about who you know!

    diligent-trooper replied to lucylu 777's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't it the goal in the job search to get the interview. The interview is the last step in the hiring process. All one has to do, is present themselves as one who can "play well with others." I...

  19. Can a nurse report a MD for being rude?

    diligent-trooper replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you have to agree, you are not really dealing with the same set of circumstances. There is a huge difference between a Senior Resident MD, and a practicing MD. A resident is actually a...

  20. Can a nurse report a MD for being rude?

    diligent-trooper replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am sorry this happened. I do not know what it is, but I do recall working in a factory where I was a lowly Shift Manager where similar experiences materialized with the Engineers. As there are...

  21. Teching while in Nursing School?

    diligent-trooper replied to mandileanne's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on the 4.0. But, I entered my Nursing School starting with 60 classmates, and on graduation day there were only 31. Highest GPA in the class was 3.65, which went to my friend. Only 4...

  22. Starting my first RN job next week...advice

    diligent-trooper replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Well, my uncle's advice would be: "Go in there like you know what you are doing,and if you don't, just fake it!" On a serious note though, just know you are new. They do not expect you know...

  24. It's all about who you know!

    diligent-trooper replied to lucylu 777's topic in General Nursing

    This is the great thing called "networking" which has been introduced slowly into the Hospital systems. As the hospital turns its direction towards a business model, the HR department has become...

  25. luncheon with the CEO.. what should I suggest?

    diligent-trooper replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It appears your CEO realizes there are issues, and they need to be addressed. One thing does come to mind: Task force meetings should be implemented. I don't like meeting either, but I do like...
