  1. Is anyone else annoyed by the expectations of male nurses in transferring patients?

    Jenni811 replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Men in Nursing

    You have the right to refuse if you feel it is harmful to yourself. I will NOT move a patient that i feel needs a lift. Im 5'2, 110 lbs and cannot do it and will not hurt my back over it. Our hospital...

    Jenni811 replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

  3. Holy cow! Now i'm confused!

    Jenni811 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    There are different training programs for different hospitals. Often times they will short cut you because of your experience. I got hired at a floor that had 12 week orientation, but because of my...

  4. Charting Bloopers

    Jenni811 replied to AHarri66's topic in Nursing Humor

  5. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    Jenni811 replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Our hospital thought it would be a WONDERFUL idea to get these new bed alarms, that said really loud "PLEASE SIT DOWN" before it alarmed. because "a patient would listen to it and sit down" I was...

  6. Cleaner RN jobs

    Jenni811 replied to kyonguyen22's topic in General Students

    I'm just going to put it out there that i don't think any nurse ENJOYS our "dirty" part of the job. I don't enjoy cleaning feces, or smelling it, or cleaning vomit, or collecting sputum, suctioning...

  7. Dreaming about work?

    Jenni811 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently its more common than we think. I've done it too. I'm always dreaming about bed alarms going off, only once have i ever gone after the alarm

  8. Dreaming about work?

    Jenni811 replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    i had a dream the other night a patients bed/chair alarm was going off. And i KNOW that buzzing noise when it does, it is LOUD. So i'm dreaming about my patients alarm going off, next thing i know i...

  9. what is the top rate of pay for an RN in the states?

    Jenni811 replied to Guest505077's topic in General Nursing

    i got a job offer at a hospital in Rhode Island for $60/hour. Nurses in my area make about 25-40/hour. More experience=more pay. Cost of living here is next to nothing. My fiance and i just purchased...

  10. pet peeves when nursing students arrive

    Jenni811 replied to sandanrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    i hate it when students think they know everything. Not even the staff nurses do, so you don't either. I work in a very large hospital that is well known for cardiac surgeries. I work on the cardiac...

  11. Too young to be a nurse??

    Jenni811 replied to eschoolgirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i'm 23 years old and have my bachelors degree in nursing. I started right out of high school when i was 18, so it makes sense. I am the youngest one on my unit, including the CNA's. I don't get...

  12. School nursing for inexperienced RN?

    Jenni811 replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in School

    Personally, for myself i would not take it. I don't see me doing anything other than hospital/bedside nursing. I feel like if i were to settle for something i would lose my "bedside" skills i learned...

  13. What can get you fired??

    Jenni811 replied to kelsie*bear's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I wouldn't say any of those things would really get you FIRED. One time i had to give blood to patient X and i accidently documented on patient Y. (i DID give blood to the right patient. i just...

    Jenni811 replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Jenni811 replied to LifesAJourney's topic in General Nursing

    i work day/night rotation. I prefer nights because on days you deal with demanding families more often. Not saying we don't on nights, its just more frequent during the day. Doc's do their rounding....

  18. RN student and asking about personal meds?

    Jenni811 replied to ilovemicrobiology's topic in General Nursing

    You shouldn't have to share your medications with your school. Wouldn't be a violation if you voluntarily handed it

  19. Patient fell and died a few days later, was it my fault?

    Jenni811 replied to GlitterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think he has 22 years of experience, not 22 years old. That would be pretty amazing. Considering i'm only 23 and have my BSN. Started when i was 18, so he would have had started at what,

    Jenni811 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
