Hahaha yeah I reread my post this morning and laughed at myself, I guess I cant spell when Im half asleep...I guess this is why Ill never work the night shift! Im not really worried about it, its just sounds weird thats all, just trying to get some u...

I work in LTC and I dont think its a "warehouse" we dont stack ppl on a shelf and wait for their experation date to come to a close. We rehabilitate mind body and spirit, we become family. We bring life and meaning to some of the pts. We entertain, l...

THANK YOU FOR FIGHTING FOR YOUR PT!!!!!!!!! we need more like you

quit plain and simple, dont use them on your resume (tech. you dont have to list a place if you worked there less then 30 days). I for one will own up to crying at work, i hate crying at work cause then i feel stupid but ive seen other nurses who hav...

I wasnt there the last time i seen the pt was 3 days before transfer and they were their pleasantly confused self, but from the NN it was just the legs. this person also had a inplanted pacemaker and was on lasix/potassium if that helps any. I guess ...

hahaha too funny!

When I started working at my place of employment I was teamed up with an awsome nurse we got (and still do get) along great we had awesome teamwork got all side projects done, then the management got a great idea to flip a bunch of people around not ...

we work in LTC, My new partner is ok outside of work, I understand she is still trying to learn all of her people and all of their quirks. My friend is a creature of habbit and it just may take longer for her to settle in. I have heard other people ...

the continous rule changing which said new rule only lasts for a max of a week (so then whats the point?) and a effective way to know when threapy takes a pt off the floor (since they dont seem to feel the need of letting us know) and the MDs need to...

'If you dont have anything nice to say, then say nothing at all' I think just about everyone heard that when we were growing up and many of us as adults and being nurses learn how to bite our tounges and with hold what we are really thinking If you c...

ooo got another one... everyday you complain about something new hold me in your room for 10-15 min so you can complain about everything and tell me how to do my job, no i will not give you a enema cause you havent pooped ten times today. no i cannot...

depends on the facility.

your humor becomes twisted and things you thought were gross before and like it never exsisted. some people become germaphobes. some people it stresses out and the need to start taking medications or increase medications or self medcate

usually what it is, is they are pointing out something to take a better look at next time it is to help you learn and if (IF) they say and word it in the right way it wont come off as they are trying to make you look stupid. not all nurses are out to...

have you ever had or still have the best nursing job ever? what in your opinion makes it the best?

so last night was a disaster heres what happened... My unit partner called off (lol everytime she calls off or goes on vacation something happens) so I had a PRN nurse with me ok not that big of a deal. Then I get a unanounced admission during report...

you could always call and ask if they need further info. and if you didnt get the job ask what you could to do to improve.

hmm good question, I feel the need to look this up and expand my knowledge

haha well I made it through, Im here wondering if Im going to catch any slack for last night...eh oh well today is another day:)

"dont worry if I fall the floor will catch me" ... yeah enough said:)

Well I took some other members advice and had someone look over my resume and fix it. Well it paid off cause one of the first places I used the new resume with have called me back for an interview! Yay so excited!

Well I head back from the admin. and they decided to promote from within, but Im in the running in for the next position. Its nice to know thats its not anything to do with me or my skills. Maybe next time

Well I had the interview, and I think I rocked it! just have to wait and see if I get the call back for the second interview. Fingers crossed XX
