    mariahlily replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    mariahlily replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  3. How to best handle this situation with my instructor?

    mariahlily replied to snowlion_m's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I for one am shocked but not surprised at the responses you’re getting from other nurses here. But it makes sense. Nurses tend to be less forgiving of students’ mishaps. The mistakes you made...

  4. How long does it take to feel comfortable?

    mariahlily replied to Alexx_xox's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm about 18 months into PCU/med/tele nursing, and I still don't feel completely comfortable. Definitely more competent and knowledgeable than when I started, but I'm not a "grown up nurse" just yet...

  5. Housing woes!

    mariahlily replied to friendlylark's topic in Travel

    Ruby Vee, I'm sorry to be blunt, but this is terrible advice."just avoid your own home" is simply awful. Your home should be a place where you take a deep breath and think "I can relax now." Work,...

  6. Best Travel Agencies? Worst?

    mariahlily replied to NurseDee118's topic in Travel

    AB staffing-definitely avoid. They do a lot of contracts with Native American reservations. I interviewed for a clinic position on a reservation in New Mexico, got accepted, then the contract was...

  7. Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    mariahlily replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if it's annoying, but I'm always surprised when grown men and women complain about very minor issues. Like an ID bracelet that's just a little bit too long and occasionally slides down...

  8. Why nurses don't want to talk to a ward psychologist?

    mariahlily replied to manjar's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone said they trust their employer yet? I like my current job. My coworkers and charge nurses are all kind. The nurse managers are supportive However, my first real nursing job was a train...

  11. Rural Nursing - How long do most nurses stay?

    mariahlily replied to frances81's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently a new grad who got her first job at a regional hospital. I got two months of preceptorship and then I worked on the floor on my own. How was I consuming a year's worth of educational...

  12. Annoying words/behaviours during report

    mariahlily replied to NewRN'16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I really don't care how nurses choose to say it, as long as they give me the info. it seems pretty petty to laugh at "fluffy" or "for me." You're able to do your job, aren't

  13. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    mariahlily replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure why people are outraged at the ideo of a student "volunteering their services." That's what I did in nursing school. Act as an extra pair of hands to my nurse mentor (taking vitals,...

  14. Where are new grads being hired right now?

    mariahlily replied to vwgirl22's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    mariahlily replied to vwgirl22's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Mississippi and Tennesse are good for new grads. I also heard rumors about some parts of North

  16. When should I expect a call back from the interviewer if I get the job?

    mariahlily replied to unquisitivenurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    what I've heard is that in some hiring situations, even if there's one person that they for sure want to choose, they still have to interview other people. one nurse manager once really wanted to hire...

  17. "I'm an addict...not psychotic." Aren't they both mental health issues?

    mariahlily replied to NurseSheGirl's topic in Addictions

    addicts seem to come up with a lot of different excuses to not follow through with rehab. when I was a guardian ad litem to a foster baby, the biological mother would tell me one day that she was...

  18. First write up as an RN

    mariahlily replied to Leesha's topic in General Nursing

    there was one comment who said you should have just kept your mouth shut and immediately brought in the DON, to avoid talking about the nurse. then there was another comment who said that you should...

  19. I'm not an ED nurse :(

    mariahlily replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Emergency

    are there any courses you can take on safety in the healthcare setting? like crisis intervention, de-escalation, etc. it could make you feel more confident, just in case you do get a patient who flips...

  21. New Nurse can't eat lunch

    mariahlily replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    she sounds pretty bold if she's willing to say "you're mean" right to your face. that kind of confrontation should be saved for really bad bullying-type behaviors, not when you patiently explain that...

  22. I feel like they should change the title of this site to "reasons why my job sucks"

    mariahlily replied to hershdawg's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My two cents to this whole conversation is that it seems that your professional team really makes or breaks your job-satisfaction. A lot of nurses on this site complain that they have to report to...

  23. To the unemployed new grads... what ARE you doing?

    mariahlily replied to BigB_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Firstly, take a step back and reread my post. Did I not write clearly enough for you? At what point did I say that volunteer work was preferable to working? What I said was that many volunteer...

    mariahlily replied to hershdawg's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mariahlily replied to elisiah's topic in First Year After Licensure

    FYI: In a lot of states, even non-hospital venues like nursing homes and prisons are asking for 3-5 years of experience. Check your facts before you personally attack someone. That being said, the...
