    Will the nursing shortage ever end?

    RosesrReder replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe, once upon a time there was a shortage of nurses who were NOT WILLING to put up with the bs and miserable working conditions. Now, having no choice due to the poor economy, spouses being laid...

    Will the nursing shortage ever end?

    RosesrReder replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    Since you aren't a nurse yet, I advise you to research a little harder. Listings are always up but truth be told doesn't mean they are actively trying to hire nurses into them. It's an ilusion...

    why the lack of baths

    RosesrReder replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    Some of these posts remind me of when I work post partum. 9/10 mommies complain that they didn't sleep a lick last night because the baby wanted to latch on every 2 hrs. All this while their spouse...

    Sick of all of the bullying.

    RosesrReder replied to ANH_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is only toxic if you feed the monster. I have never had problems and I work on SO many floors for all sister hospitals in my large city. So I will tell you my secret. As soon as you clock in,...

    ADN or BSN?

    RosesrReder replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan Nursing

    My opinion and my opinion only. I decided to go the ADN route in 2004 and then go back for my BSN. The decision came at the time because the BSN programs had 2 yr waiting lists and the private...

    While you're at it...can you clean my poop too?

    RosesrReder replied to Miller86's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Nothing irks me the most that very capable pts acting like they are at end of life. Just two days ago I was working post partum and one of my pts was an intact spontaneous vag. G5P5 who...

    While you're at it...can you clean my poop too?

    RosesrReder replied to Miller86's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes, this lil' frail old man (that is your patient) was a nasty and not so very nice father or family member and that is why no one cares if he's in a hospital. Not saying this is the case, but...

    Would you suggest nursing as a career to someone considering it?

    why the lack of baths

    RosesrReder replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    Did you ask them to fill your basin? I know that the aide or nurse should have offered at the very least, but many times they are so busy running around that the obvious is overlooked. I am sorry...

    Night Shifters: Does your hospital have cafeteria hours for night shift?

    RosesrReder replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a good NICU opportunity?

    RosesrReder replied to MSNICU's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I agree with the above post. I came from Adult MS to NICU as well and it was a whole new world. You have to erase your brain from the adult world and aside from your 11 wk orientation (which is...

    Two years of med-surg are not magic.

    RosesrReder replied to BonnieSc's topic in Medical-Surgical

    When I graduated in 2007, I moved to an undesirable area in AZ. I went into med-surg as a GN, took boards the following month and stayed there for exactly one yr. Then an internal position opened for...

    Why won't anyone hire new graduate nurses??!!?!?

    RosesrReder replied to samae23's topic in General Nursing

    To answer your question in a nutshell..............because new grads are very expensive to train and currently there is a glut of nurses in the country. I highly doubt you could work as a CNA while...

    The "dirty" side of nursing...

    RosesrReder replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, there is only one thing that makes me squirm but still am able to handle it with a straight face and that is suctioning a trach. I don't know, I think it's the noise of the suctioning...

    Pregnancy and job offers as a new grad

    RosesrReder replied to d2k2ross's topic in General Nursing

    Being a pregnant new grad in this economy is not easy. I personally know of 3 that got hired as new grads and pregnant. The thing is that none of them were far along that physically showed. None told...

    what am I doing wrong?

    RosesrReder replied to Medsport's topic in General Nursing

    Since you cannot change the fact that you work night shift AND are on the job hunt, you have to sacrifice unfortunately. I would get one of those cheap pay-as-you-go phones so that way you can give...

    Mocking Teachers Online: A Student's Right?

    RosesrReder replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Wow, those brats deserve to be punished and learn how to respect others. It is ridiculous that the suspension was lifted. Where is the accountability on their actions. I feel so sorry for those who...

    Best MD note

    RosesrReder replied to beckster_01's topic in Nursing Humor

    One of the OB's where I work write funny things in his notes as well. After a section, he started off his note by saying the OR was very hot! Also, when the units are maxed out there seem to be a...

    RosesrReder replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Nursing

    I completely understand that; however, please ReREAD my post. I clearly state that it is better to for us as a team to keep the charge nurse out of staffing (read: no patient assignment) that for the...
