  1. I need you guys, i think nursing is making me mentally ill

    nightengalegoddess replied to willowRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my Gosh! Didn't read responses here. Spiritual ACLS needed. I get it. I get where you are at. The way I respond is this....."I will give you my full report, and then, you may ask questions....I am...

  2. Checking visitor's vitals

    nightengalegoddess replied to AJPV's topic in General Nursing

    This woman probably never feels ok when someone else is suffering. Maybe that is why the family downplayed it? She's not a patient, hope you documented that you took vitals which were ok....documented...

  3. Fake Nurses

    nightengalegoddess replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is a felony to claim one is a nurse when it is not true. A Nurse is an LPN/LVN or an RN. If I say I am a physcian, I know that is a

  4. Sympathy strike...would you do it??

    nightengalegoddess replied to notachargenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Or whatever twice or thrice the regular rate is. That could be 600.00/hr or something. A union could actually make a hospital go bankrupt. And what if the union could take advantage of

  5. Sympathy strike...would you do it??

    nightengalegoddess replied to notachargenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    PS. I am sure the hospital will hire agency to fill in. Maybe a longer strike would be in order. But before the strike, make sure all agencies in the area are willing to increase rates to something...

  6. Sympathy strike...would you do it??

    nightengalegoddess replied to notachargenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Naive here. How would the union know whether or not you went to work or not that day? If I weren't on schedule, I'd definetely picket. But if on......this is a spiritual and moral dilemma regarding...

  7. Which schedule would use choose?

    nightengalegoddess replied to Gratefulprn's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely.....the FIRST one! Hospitals give so much more opportunity for respect and advancement. You can listen to cool stuff while driving; books on cd, education, rockin music. Two days and you...

  8. Going from nights to days

    nightengalegoddess replied to pumpkin455's topic in General Nursing

    Days.....cortisol enhanced; if you have a hidden aggresive side to your personality it will come out in a vengence. I worked days my whole carreer until my son has become self-sufficient. I fantasized...

  9. I feel stupid!

    nightengalegoddess replied to heavenwith7's topic in General Nursing

    If it were all you had on hand, and even if you'd known it was expired; would you have NOT used it? Who would bother to check at that point! First things first. Most medications are actually just fine...

  10. first patient fall

    nightengalegoddess replied to baby.nurse123's topic in General Nursing

    Since you are new it will probably be ok. A singular fall is no reason to be fired; especially since no harm came to the patient. But if you have had any 'enemies', a fall can be the beginning of...

  11. How to break into OR nursing

    nightengalegoddess posted a topic in Operating Room

    Hi. I desperately want to work in surgical nursing. I know there is a lot of training involved. I've been a medical-surgical nurse at the bedside for six years as well as some work in neuro/ortho...

  12. Nurses

    nightengalegoddess replied to JosefVernon Hodgkins's topic in General Nursing

    I think Joe feels highly misunderstood. Joe ought to decide to work at the bedside at least a couple shifts a month.....just so his nurses would find more respect for him and he would join the ranks...

  13. How to break into OR nursing

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Operating Room

    PSS. How can any human find money and time to do the surgical tech program as well as the nursing program? Is your professor a man? Cause I must say...they seem so capable of being manic and actually...

  14. How to break into OR nursing

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Operating Room

    PS. Straight up OR training for the RN went out with the recession..Darn. But I hear Mayo still has a very open program. Although I do believe they require CCRN status first. Please correct me if I am...

  15. How to break into OR nursing

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Operating Room

    LaurenElaine, best advice so far I have recieved is to get certified in ICU (CCRN)....that means we can work wherever we want, we would prove the capacity to do anything and be higher pickins than...

  16. Night Shift Nursing

    nightengalegoddess replied to mooremds's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Something about sleeping at night makes me feel very lonesome anymore!!! Even with my sweetie!!! I am insane!!!!!I can sleep like crazy in the day...hardly none at night.....even before I worked...

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in Operating Room

    Duh, read down through threads and found a wealth of info on this topic. Sorry for the clutter guys

  18. Nurse pressing charges

    nightengalegoddess replied to Girlygirl69's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think we all need to be accountable for our behavior. This guy probably was freaking out about Ca Dx. But that doesn't give him the right to give you a black eye. This kind of stuff makes me fume....

    nightengalegoddess replied to notachargenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Brandy, 1017. Are the hospital financialists running your union in disguise? Yuck. That

  20. Do you wear rings at work?

    nightengalegoddess replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, Dianne 27. I think I will take off my plain ring now. I didn't realize all the foam and gel could be ruining it. Guess my eyes will just have to say "I'm taken". Thank you for the

  21. What are your favorite types of patients??

    nightengalegoddess replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. Rapid response website. This is a great post. I hope the nurse who posted 'nurses' reads this. Everyone's responses make me proud to be an RN. So sweet! :

  22. What are your favorite types of patients??

    nightengalegoddess replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow,never thought about this before......I love the young men too. My kids are boys too. It is easy for me to give them my all. But I fantasize about surgery as well....."wow, look at the insides of...

  23. Nurses

    nightengalegoddess replied to JosefVernon Hodgkins's topic in General Nursing

    Hi you all! Yes, I agree full-heartedly (sp?)......after a long night I usually come to this site to gauge if my craziness is the same as others'. Sometimes we do get fervent. I somehow assume...

  24. Do you wear rings at work?

    nightengalegoddess replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    nursery nurse....FUNNY TYPO!!!! NO JEWS IN THE NICU! Oh my gosh!!! I know lots of jews in the NICU! But I do know you meant

  25. Do you wear rings at work?

    nightengalegoddess replied to CareBayer's topic in General Nursing

    Well, real gold and real silver are antimicrobial in nature anyway. They actually repel germs. But if you have the big diamonds (oh, I miss wearing my engagement ring at work!)....and all the delicate...
