  7. Are nurses really respected???

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Nolander's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Picture a large hill or mountain if you will. You know what rolls down hill. Now picture the nurse standing at the bottom with arms wide open. Yes, that is correct we catch it all 24 hours a day 7...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to bailee4's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I can only speak for my hospital but they are no longer hiring anyone RN who does not have a BSN. All current employees have been given a deadline in the future as to when they are expected to have...

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

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Tally4970's topic in General Nursing

    Truthfully, I would not go into nursing if I started over. I would go into PT, Pharmacy, or have become a PA. I am about to begin a FNP program. Bedside nurses do not get the respect deserved but we...

  10. Is nursing really that bad?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Lucidity's topic in Nursing Career

    I believe everything is what you make it. Personally, I feel as though I have tried to make bedside nursing work for me to no avail. I am beginning a BSN to DNP program this summer. I am going to...

  11. Work ethic, what's your take on it all

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to cardiacrocks's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Where I work they always ask why we aren't coming in as well. In fact there is a form that is supposed to be filled out by the Charge Rn and sent to occupational health. I suppose it is to make sure...

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

  13. Is OR nursing a good start for a new grad?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to AmberRose222's topic in Operating Room

    I can't imagine our OR even considering New Grads. Everything always specifies a certain amount of experience they would like to have usuall coming from ICU or

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Palliative Care, DNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Well they haven't told me that what I already have is not sufficient through NSO. If I need to increase it or change it then I will. I faxed them a copy of that way back with the

  18. 1.5 years in and at the end of my rope....?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to SrnD's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why the above poster thought this was funny but I will answer. I personally can not stand bedside nursing. That is why I am stepping away from it totally. I am going back school to become...

  19. Is Med-Surg really a dead end?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to JustWannaWork,RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am certified in medical surgical nursing. I do not feel like it is a dead end but a gateway. I think that you can learn almost any basic skill that would be required to work on another unit. If you...

  20. Anyone else feel like a robot reciting customer service scripts all the time?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to rntj's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can't wait to step away from bedside nursing in a few years so no one can tell me I must follow scripts any longer. It is so repetitive and cheesy. How sincere we must all look to follow each other...

  23. Bedside hand-off/report?

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    Personally, we do it but you can not give a full accurate report at the bedside. HIPPA prevents a lot from being said especially when there is family in the room. They may not be aware of every...

  25. Associates degree

    Palliative Care, DNP replied to Toyodax's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So as you can see it would be easier to just go on and enroll in a BSN program. I wish I had just started that way would have been faster. Instead I went Associates to BSN. Currently in a MSN program...
