    jbeck817 posted a topic in General Nursing

  3. What would you do?

    jbeck817 replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am somewhat new to nursing. Have been doing it for a year. The first med/surg floor I worked was very much like what your situation now is like. My decision was to apply for a different unit where I...

  5. UUUGHH (White-coat syndrome?)

    jbeck817 posted a topic in General Nursing

    There's this older gentleman at work who is a CNA. When you ask for help moving or feeding the patients, he constantly states, "I'm just the CNA." I don't know where this comes from and it ticks me...

    jbeck817 replied to DCCCRNn2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is ridiculous because a)you are NOT a student anymore and b)you have your own damn license and not just anyone can acheive that. When this happened to me, I talked to my preceptor. We tried it...

  8. We need a Nursing TV show

    jbeck817 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Boy there are lots of scenarios in our world. Doctors and ER folks have "ER", MD's have "Scrubs"-so I think we should have a TV show. Maybe a show about life in an acute care med-surg nursing unit,...

  9. "Just" a nurse? You can do so much better!

    jbeck817 replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, the doctor spends a small (10-15min) amt. of time with their patient. The nurse assigned to a group of patients often ends up noticing the intricacies of the pt's physical condition and notifies...

    jbeck817 replied to cameroondiva's topic in First Year After Licensure

  13. We need a Nursing TV show

    jbeck817 replied to jbeck817's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I'm talking about!!! We deal with such extremes of the emotional spectrum and the stories on the show would be amazing. I think there is alot of quirky, amusing things that we have to work...

  14. Don't Like It!

    jbeck817 replied to 4EverHis's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree! I have spoken with several seasoned nurses and fresh from nursing school nurses who agree it is nothing like it was or presented to us in clinicals or school. I have worked in several places...

    jbeck817 replied to ashbowlen's topic in Oregon Nursing

    jbeck817 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

  19. Is medsurg a necessity for a new grad?

    jbeck817 replied to bigislandgyrl's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I graduated in June and did psych nursing at a state hospital. I'm finding that most nurses that work here tell me that a few years in med-surg is good, so I've decided that in addition to working...

    jbeck817 replied to pokey sn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I start L&D 7/19. It was a big fluke. They were accepting 8 new grads with a BSN so I applied on a whim. And me and the NM hit it off and I was hired! I was excited-she seemed like she would be a...
