  1. Why such high new RN turnover?

    missladyrn replied to Calder's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am not loyal to my employer because employers are no longer loyal to us. Loyalty is earned, not just something to blindly give to the guy who will cut you in a second to save a

  2. Don't Cry Over Spilled... Blood?

    missladyrn replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    It was funny when it happened to Lexi Gray on greys Anatomy. In real life, I bet, not so much. Sorry that happened to you! You will laugh about it

  3. How do you deal with explosive customers?

    missladyrn replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would say Goosefraba over and over and then I would sing "I feel Pretty" . Ok ok, this movie is on right now, so it is fresh in my head and I am suffering from a lack of

  4. how long is too long?

    missladyrn replied to dlrrn2010's topic in General Nursing

    I think if people hired after you were given days, and it was known that you wanted days, then it is unlikely they are going to move you soon. It is much harder to fill a night shift than a day shift....

  5. Decision on job offer

    missladyrn replied to tokidoki7's topic in Nursing Career

    Seems like you already feel too many red flags at the SNF. You do nto care for your current job, but at least it is the evil you know and it is predictable. Home health might be a nice change of pace...

  6. Finding it hard to be positive

    missladyrn replied to ICAN!'s topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    What is the new job? If I were you I would take it. This manager of yours is a snake. As Maya Angelou says : When people show you who they are, believe

  7. Disciplined For Helping With Disaster

    missladyrn replied to Blue_Elder's topic in General Nursing

    You were not diciplined for helping with a disaster, you were diciplined for not showing up to work. It really does not matter what the reason, you did not show up and it sounds like you do not really...

  8. shooting up in the palms? why?

    missladyrn replied to all4ofus's topic in General Nursing

    It is easier to hide. I have also seen a lot of people shoot up in their feet. In my area, heroin is the drug of choice. Some people use up all the other veins and get scar tissue making it harder to...

  9. no hope for nurses without experience??

    missladyrn replied to smhs's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    You might need to

  10. Are oral contraceptives healthcare?

    missladyrn replied to cargalrn's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Insurance pays for viagra, therefore I think it is only fair to cover BCP. Plus, some people take them for medical reasons and to regulate their cycles, hormones, irregular menstrual cycles. And it is...

  11. Options for RNs with a bad back?

    missladyrn replied to mugglex's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Is the issue lifting or bending? Or being on your feet? You could try a clinic, a DR office, or dialysis but you will still be on your feet all day. Perhaps you could find a place with shorter

  12. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    missladyrn replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just trying to be clear here? You hate it when a cna is called and aide? But we nurses should not get upset when a cna is called a nurse? You do see that we get upset for the same reason you do,...

  13. My online shopping reviews - please share yours!

    missladyrn replied to MJB2010's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thank you! I am going to try Uniform Advantage. I will let you know how it goes. I also wish Tafford had better color/size combos in Greys Anatomy

  14. I'm trying my best, but seriously stop putting me down on the phone

    missladyrn replied to Catch22Personified's topic in Emergency

    You have already identified yourself as "THAT NURSE". You think you are smarter and more clever and everyone else is a moron. It is plain as day how you treat other nurses on the phone (and probably...

  15. FMC staffing policies

    missladyrn replied to Reneec's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    This company understaffs on purpose.They rely on a skeleton crew in order to save a buck. If anything goes wrong it will be on you. I loved working in dialysis,don't get me wrong. But I left because...

  16. Useless degree! At what point do you quit trying?

    missladyrn replied to SuburbanGypsy's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It is a tough market out there. Even with experience it is tough to land a job. In my area it seems like if you are a new grad no one wants you, and if you have experience no one wants to pay you....

  17. Advice for a new grad!

    missladyrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    I need some advice from experienced nurses! As a new grad I took a position on a medical floor, and I HATE it! I feel like I was sort of thrown in and still constantly feel like I know nothing. I...

  18. If you had to do it over again would you?

    missladyrn replied to Tally4970's topic in General Nursing

    Heck no! I look and feel so much older than I actually am. The stress and hours of nursing will put you in an early grave. Becoming a nurse has been the worst thing I have done for my health. No time...

  19. med surg orientation length?

    missladyrn posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    Were you a new grad when you started in med surg or experienced RN? How long was your orientation? Was it enough? Just trying to figure out how much orientation is the

  20. What would you do?

    missladyrn replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    3 weeks orientation is a disaster for a new grad. I would take option 2 and get some good experience. When you have more experience you will have more options. The other one, eve though it is days,...

  21. 1st week on job and absolutely hate it!!

    missladyrn replied to mrw322's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Be careful what you wish for! Most people working the 12 would kill for an 8 hour mf. My advice would be to start looking for something else. Do not quit until you have something else lined up.Make...

  22. PIEDMONT residency, anyone else get their app in?!

    missladyrn replied to bigcrisrn's topic in Georgia Nursing

    They have already started interviewing for the residency. Anyone get an

  23. 4 weeks?

    missladyrn replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry, I know you really want a job but something is seriously offputting about this one! 4 weeks is not enough and it seems like a poor floor for a newbie to be on. As a new nurse you will need...

  24. getting hired at a hospital with non hospital experience

    missladyrn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone successfully done this? I have a little hospital experience from before but over a year of clinic experience. I cannot seem to get a foot back in the door at a hospital. Having a little...

  25. Inpatient Oncology to Outpatient Dialysis?

    missladyrn replied to MSJRN813's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Is the position with FMC or Davita? If you post in the dialysis section under specialties, you might get a lot more responses. In my case the training was very good, but the company I work for is...
