  2. New Grad RN...Why can't I hear lung sounds!!

    sameyjaney posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new nurse. Only been on the floor about 3 weeks. However, I am growing concerned over my inability to hear lung sounds. I am under the gown, they are taking deep breaths, I'm listening...

  3. New nurses feel like quitting?

    sameyjaney replied to Patti_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been working for a year now in med-surg and I must say I have grown to hate it. The team I work with is great. They are supportive. My manager is great. That is probably why I have lasted this...

  4. Switching from Night Shift to Day Shift

    sameyjaney posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok so I have researched this subject on here and seen multiple people who are "unhappy" on nights. My question is what did you end up doing? Did you switch to days or stay on nights? And if you...

    sameyjaney posted a topic in General Nursing

    How do you deal with the rude nurses you encounter at the work place? Usually I am fine and I just shrug off the occasional snide comment or eye roll. Most of the time I take it as an opportunity to...

    sameyjaney replied to NothingsImpossible4U's topic in General Students

    sameyjaney replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    WorriedAbout2Morrow and ckh23. Thank you for your replies too! A confrontation is definitely not something I want to have. Which is mostly why I am hesitant to say anything at all. And probably why...

    sameyjaney replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to both of you for your input. I hadn't really looked at it from a "bullying" perspective. But I see your point. I have had people take advantage of my soft personality in both my personal and...

    sameyjaney replied to rnccf2007's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure this wasn't my family?? If I had a dime for every time my aunt told me, "Well I looked it up online and I know I have (insert: bizarre uncommon diagnosis), so I am going to treat myself...

  13. "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    sameyjaney replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I speak english well and clear. However, when I mumble or talk to fast patients ask me to repeat what I said slower or louder etc etc. Why do patients and families not ask people with accents to do...

  14. Why lie?

    sameyjaney replied to ally100500's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar situation happen to me. She didn't even take time to check my references. She interviewed more people the following week and chose someone else. I was really hurt because I really...

    sameyjaney replied to Cyns's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We had one nurse in his early 60's in my graduating class. He had a job within 3 months after graduation in 2010. I say if you have the drive, time, and money to invest in a new career then go for it....

  18. Want to get out of nursing, what can I do with my degree????

    sameyjaney replied to pale_pilsen's topic in Nursing Career

    Ever thought of outpatient surgery centers? From what I hear...great hours (8-5), no on-call, low stress, increased independence, very strong sense of teamwork and collaboration etc

  20. Insight on a question I do not agree with

    sameyjaney replied to TexHaws's topic in General Nursing

  21. Good Samaritan Law

    sameyjaney replied to Kyasi's topic in General Nursing

    Unless there are already multiple people on the scene that appear to have it "covered" I would stop. Not because I'm a nurse but because that's how I was raised. My Mother was always the kind of...

  22. Insight on a question I do not agree with

    sameyjaney replied to TexHaws's topic in General Nursing

    When I saw this it made me think of the "therapeutic communication" questions when studying for the NCLEX. A. Is confrontational and non-therapeutic B. You do not have enough evidence to know if this...

  23. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    sameyjaney replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wonder if the radio personality who goes by "Big Boy" with cellulitis on his leg fits into this "sexy" category.
