    Fired from my first RN job after only 2 weeks.

    RosesrReder replied to Mountainrnbsn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is the best advice

    What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    RosesrReder replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    A lot of these managers came from the floor and did their time. Went on to further their education and go into management. Not all managers are lazy slave drivers. I have worked with some that aren't...

    What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    RosesrReder replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    This will vary greatly on location. In my area, they don't hire CNAs in the ER. They hire EMTs who also have their PCT. They also hire paramedics instead of LPNs and so on. Your best bet is to try...

    Second Victims - the Nurse that Makes a Mistake

    RosesrReder replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    My place of employment crucifies second victims. One error and you are immediately asked to leave and they will contact you. Then you have to come in several times and talk to charge nurse,...

    What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    RosesrReder replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    If you say you don't want to work in a nursing home, you can always work in a hospital. Most are 12 hr shifts and as a new grad more than likely night shift. As far as working Mon-Fri in a doctor's...

    Can I Lose My License For Calling Out Last Minute and Cursing at A Staff Member

    RosesrReder replied to Genesislinx1215's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the BON has bigger fish to fry than a petty complaint. Sounds like they purposely sent the check to the wrong address out of spite. You did not abandon any patient and you weren't going to...

    What do nurse managers and clinical directors actually do?

    RosesrReder replied to poopylala's topic in Nurse Management

    You sounds like an amazing manager. FAR from what I have experienced. Our manager(s) never step out of their office unless it's for breakfast, lunch, snack and meetings. Touching a patient? Unheard...

    Help! Asked to Write On Call Policy

    RosesrReder replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I also work in the OR and as your place, the team that has worked in the wee hours of the morning for the most part are able to stay home and rest. Then call in by X hour (set by our policy) to see...

    Demoted from ICU to IMCU

    RosesrReder replied to TiffanyB1313's topic in General Nursing

    How is this a demotion? You may not be ready to hit the floor running in the ICU and need to take it back a bit before going back. This is not a demotion, it's saving your butt. They could have...

    Floating policies- Tenet

    RosesrReder replied to RNasj's topic in General Nursing

    Like anything, you have to have minimal competencies signed off. Just like I wouldn't expect just anyone to float to NICU or circulate/scrub in the OR. If you are not signed off on chest tubes and...

    Mom suing nurse after suffocation accident

    RosesrReder replied to MunoRN's topic in Nursing News

    I agree with you. I left a mom/baby unit because they built a new hospital (moved us to a new building) that resembled exactly a hotel. Dim lights, huge private suites. The problem is we had post...

    Does your facility teach new grad RN's to scrub?

    RosesrReder replied to chief76's topic in Operating Room

    Yes, limited. By limited I mean simple stuff since the orientation is very limited. It's basically geared to scrub hernias, lipomas, choles/appys and the like. A heart?

    What computer system do you use in the OR?

    RosesrReder replied to ShannonRN2010's topic in Operating Room

    Surginet and Powerchart

    Sterility

    RosesrReder replied to fusionfire32's topic in Operating Room

    You stand based on room layout, type of surgery and physician preference of course. In our victorian style/aged OR's there is always some tweaking that needs to happen. Ideally, yes scrub is...

    Bair Huggers

    RosesrReder replied to canesdukegirl's topic in Operating Room

    Our hospital protocol and manufacturer's recommendations is that we place the Bair Hugger blanket directly onto the patient's skin. There should be no gown or blankets under that blanket. There...

    New Grad OR Nurse Feeling Alone and Unsupported

    RosesrReder replied to nocturnallife's topic in Operating Room

    I've worked in many areas of nursing and the OR is extremely unique. The strongest personalities reside there. Nursing school doesn't prepare you for this field in the slightest way. It takes at...

    MD was angry I questioned him.

    RosesrReder replied to ella2990's topic in General Nursing

    Why he was upset is irrelevant. You did the right thing and possibly saved a life! This physician sounds like he was passing the buck and dumping the problem the next person and could care less what...

    No rehire !!!!!!!!!!

    Violence in Nursing

    RosesrReder replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Violent patient, violent family member/friend, violent physicians. At my place of employment they don't give a rats ass. They will at whatever level get creative enough to say it wasn't intended,...

    Age of Nurse = Level of Experience? Or Not?? The survey says...

    RosesrReder replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting indeed. Every time there's a recession, huge lay offs or the like, nursing program commercials pop up everywhere. You need a career change? Try nursing. You are bored at your...

    Are Nurses Considered "First Responders?"

    RosesrReder replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm gonna steer clear from this one. I worked on a rig doing mainly IFT's and then covering 911's for a military base overnight. I considered myself a first responder because I was. This is the...

    question for OR nurses !!

    RosesrReder replied to Rn 1979's topic in Operating Room

    My best non redundant advice is to play nice and be fair. It sucks when people gang on each other. Some surgeons will fixate on one particular person lets say the scrub that day and it's not cool....

    Scheduling harassment

    RosesrReder replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    Meaning they need verbal confirmation of yes or no. It's listed on your employment contract. I work in a position requiring a ton of call but even on our non call/scheduled days off we are required...

    Contacted multiple times for same empty shift

    RosesrReder replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Triage your calls. When I am off, I have no obligations to my employer during my unpaid time away from them. I hate mass group texts and never know who the person behind the charge phone manning it...
