  1. Interviewing the interviewer questions...

    anonymurse replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you are in need of a vacation, give them your dates right up front. At that point, they don't "have" you, so it's no problem, where it might be after hire. In fact I think that was my first...

  2. Need some ideas

    anonymurse replied to brainynurse's topic in General Nursing

  3. Patient Beats Up Nursing Staff Member

    anonymurse replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Every nurse should have their situational awareness switched on at all times. Highly recommend "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker about paying attention to and acting on your innate warning...

  4. Pulling Meds for Multiple Patients

    anonymurse replied to trustsupplyguy's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I was scratching my head over this thread, but the little 15-watt bulb finally came on over my head. It boggles the mind that some appear to be talking about Pyxis thinking it's used in...

  5. charting sleep question

    anonymurse replied to The Bell Jar's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that's the most economical charting: "Pt snoring." Then the reader can conclude what they want. But with monitoring we can chart "asleep" and know they're not dead. And what would be the big...

  6. Run them at the same time?

    anonymurse replied to rnrae's topic in General Nursing

    Does he have a good IV site in each arm? If not, you might want to "upgrade" him. That would simplify your problem a good

  7. New & Ready To Move On To Bigger & Better

    anonymurse replied to NewGrad07's topic in General Nursing

    When we graduate school where we paid for the experience, we enter the workplace where we get paid. This signifies a huge change. Paying means we get to have it our way. Getting paid means someone...

  8. Do You Look Like A Nurse?

    anonymurse replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    Not in the least, and I think it's an

  9. How do you deal with all the bickering and backstabbing at work?

    anonymurse replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    If someone says someone else said something about me, I ignore it. Many times a person who tells you someone else said something bad about you is the one trying to do you in, and is trying to get your...

  10. Do you think some schools are turning out nurses too fast?

    anonymurse replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    Prospective nursing students need a way to judge schools. NCLEX pass/fail rates are a horrible way to view schools' adequacy. School taught me basic nursing. Kaplan Complete taught me to pass the...

  11. There is no real nurse shortage?

    anonymurse replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, there are plenty of non-working RNs in the woodwork and when the economy tanks and the spouse gets laid off, look out, here they come, and whatever else we're doing, we'll have to add to that...

  12. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    anonymurse replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    These days, that means you're trusting the market to sustain your "values" with its ebullience. Worse than total strangers: a mob. According to the "plans" set forth, it seems no one has ever moved,...

  13. Preceptor issues

    anonymurse replied to billlee2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yeah, some preceptors feel they must turn you into their clone in 6 weeks or whatever, forgetting it took them years to get there. Many preceptors tend to have perfectionistic tendencies anyway, but...

  14. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    anonymurse replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Before you go around condemning everyone, you have to consider that a key part of his plan is very weak. He plans to put all his money in the hands of strangers, then EXPECTS a steady 12% to roll in...

  15. Does any other night shifters feel like days has no idea how nights works?

    anonymurse replied to thomask's topic in General Nursing

    I like both nights and days. There does seem to be resentment over things perceived to be left "undone" by the other

  18. Proof There's No Nursing Shortage: Show RN's the MONEY

    anonymurse replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    There IS no shortage. Staffing is exactly where management wants it. Why hire more nurses when the numbers on hand will kill themselves to make things work because they're hooked on how heroic it...

  19. wanting to quit

    anonymurse replied to Lucky21's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had a super-stressful transition from prereqs to nursing school and from elsewhere to nursing, and when I looked at it carefully, I found I'd made a whole mess of transitions at the same time--from...

  21. persuasion essay about nursing

    anonymurse replied to t0yang's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't try to talk anyone into nursing. If they only signed up because I talked them into it, they wouldn't have the staying power to get through nursing

    Disagree.

  23. In your opinion, do surgeons really have great lifestyles???

    anonymurse replied to Jiggles123's topic in General Nursing

    Great? If their taste in neckties is any indicator, how much enjoyment could they be getting out of life regardless of

  24. Nurses have the right to give and recieve information as a professional right?

    anonymurse replied to bluekermode's topic in General Nursing

    Supposedly we can get to med info sites, but half the useful stuff is blocked. Methinks there's a sysadmin somewhere with carbon-to-diamond sphincter
