    New Nurse Precepting a New Grad Nurse

    MsQueensRN replied to AllyAnnie2115's topic in General Nursing

    Unsure where you work but are there any policies in place regarding how long you should be working there prior to orienting a new nurse. In my facility, you have to have at least 1-year experience. I...

    Any nurses that love nursing and love their job??

    MsQueensRN replied to nets5010's topic in General Nursing

    I can honestly say I love being a nurse. If you keep in mind what brought you to nursing: caring for people, love of learning, being part of a team, teaching, changing lives (including your own). Then...

    Chemical Castration Condition for Parole in Alabama

    MsQueensRN replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Chemical castration is cheaper than paying for the mental health services that are truly needed. Taxpayers have to pay for the jail sentence and the chemical castration so arguing about the savings is...

    MsQueensRN replied to Melissa Mills's topic in Nursing News

    Verbal abuse ... what are my rights?

    MsQueensRN replied to KHT's topic in General Nursing

    Happens all the time, at least your patient is immobile and cannot additionally throw things or attempt any physical harm. I have had many a patient like yours, and once it goes racial I absolutely...

    MsQueensRN replied to Guest1031502's topic in General Students

    RNs Don't Help CNAs

    MsQueensRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This is something I see constantly at work and it is something that is unfortunately supported by management. I am an old school nurse and ultimately my patient's care is my responsibility, not to...

    MsQueensRN replied to sazbsn's topic in Nursing Career

    MsQueensRN replied to newgradrn2016's topic in General Nursing

    Why do minorities have more respect for nurses?

    MsQueensRN replied to Runman1914's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've had disrespectful homeless patients and adoring rich patients, honestly I think it just depends on the person. I've had people who initially thought it was appropriate to yell at me for...

    MsQueensRN replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Make sure you familiarize yourself with your rights. Do you have a union? If so, What is their stance on mandated overtime? Document these interactions and the fact that you are being bullied by your...

    MsQueensRN replied to shedevilprincss's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome job for a first time! I know the first one is always the most nerve wracking. It gets better the more often you do it, and as you go on don't be afraid to really check for those forearm veins...

    MsQueensRN replied to Lerochka's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry to hear your dilemma. I have a friend who flunked in 3rd semester and it really is horrible but once you've flunked out most schools won't look at you. From speaking with different...

    Any evening programs in NYC?

    MsQueensRN replied to Destin293's topic in New York Nursing

    Sorry to hear you are having such problems with BMCC. I just graduated from there in May and I too came in with a BA from elsewhere. I found that talking on the phone is pointless. Its best if you...

    Pay Raise After Nursing Residency?

    MsQueensRN replied to RNQueen's topic in Texas Nursing

    I completely agree, sometimes the extra $$$ really isn't worth the trouble if you leave to go somewhere that you end up hating, and then have no choice but to stay. I'm also one of those loyalists who...

    MsQueensRN replied to d00d00butter's topic in New York Nursing

    It's true, there is a glut of new grads, not so new grads, as well as experienced nurses who are all searching for jobs in nyc now. Hospitals are slowly hiring, so it is good to be open to relocating...

    career change - need advice

    MsQueensRN replied to d00d00butter's topic in New York Nursing

    Your best bet is an accelerated BSN program, but your work schedule is extremely demanding and your course load would be demanding as well. The studying necessary to do well, as well as the clinical...

    MsQueensRN replied to mom2sam's topic in New York Nursing

    I looked into taking the ACLS online because I knew it would be cheaper, but I find that many of the hospitals have said that they don't accept online ACLS certificates. What exactly does chart...
