    Lied to in Interview

    RosesrReder replied to westieluv's topic in General Nursing

    Then just stay where you're at and literally get accustomed to it. I would like to point out in this age and time, no one is 'committed' to no one. The employer is certainly not committed to the...

    Do Bachelor's Degrees Save Lives? - The Facts about Earning a BSN

    RosesrReder replied to Rasmussen University's topic in General Nursing

    Probably not. As of now you (and I) are chopped meat and risk not having a job in the near future. Once you earn your BSN you will be factored into the nice BSN statistics though. Not that your ADN...

    LTC's are a joke

    RosesrReder replied to baygrl11's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Of course they know but do they care? All I ever see them is eat donuts and coffee with a stack of paperwork in a beautiful office. Then they do the walk through and all is fine and

    Noone to relieve me, but I'm forced to clock out for lunch?!

    RosesrReder replied to weazzie55's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If you're and hourly employee you are entitled to an uninterrupted, unpaid, away from patient care area lunch. If that doesn't happen and you're working through your lunch period it is a violation....

    Late for work excuses

    RosesrReder replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Arizona and one evening I had to call in late because there was a huge rattle snake at the foot of my car door. I have a huge phobia for snakes and couldn't get myself to get in through the...

    Verbal Hand-off Reports - Are they no longer necessary?

    RosesrReder replied to yr.pedsnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This has caused issues where I work. Patients have been brought up before the faxed paper has arrived. We've had patients who should be on rule out TB precautions and are found in a regular room...

    RosesrReder replied to EMEddie's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    My job requires min 5 years critical care with both adults and kids. Level 1 trauma preferred. All the certs etc. I didn't have to become and EMT or Medic. The pay is not the greatest vs hospital...

    If you had a reset button, would you choose nursing again?

    RosesrReder replied to amazingme's topic in General Nursing

    No. I would have gone to be a speech pathologist, PT or OT. Normal hours, more respect and satisfaction imho. Nursing has changed way too much and it feels like an assembly line but with humans to...

    I got reported to HR

    RosesrReder replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I personally think she took it to the extreme. She should have pulled you aside and asked for clarification and allowed you to explain etc. Sounds like Elementary horse dookie at your place of...

    So you think you want to be a NURSE

    RosesrReder replied to dedicated_2b_RN's topic in General Students

    I don't necessarily disagree but I never became a CNA before becoming a nurse. I worked in a deli at the time because it was easier and paid better to get me through nursing school. I love nursing...

    PHRN/EMT-P

    RosesrReder replied to inthepipeline's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    You can get your EMT-b and hired into an Ambulabce crew. They usually pay for your EMT-P. Get experience while bridging over to RN. I did it backwards RN to EMT..... I work prehospital and PRN at...

    Flight Nursing: Behind the fancy helicopter

    RosesrReder replied to Jamiejill7's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Great post. I'm a ground transport nurse and although were not "cream of the crop" we sacrifice a lot as well. 24 hr shifts, long transport times, stand up 24's and when the choppers are grounded...

    should i apply for ADN or BSN

    RosesrReder replied to fuhs1245's topic in Nursing Career

    Either sounds okay. No one can decide for you and you will have a huge mix of opinions here. I would consider time, quality of program and $$. Also, what is your ultimate goal? Much luck to

    So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    RosesrReder replied to carachel2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, it is not old school practice. How can you chart when you haven't assessed the patient? No excuse; however, your NP friend could have easily asked how her lungs were sounding or how her skin was...

    What to Do When the Doctor Throws the Nurse Under the Bus by Lying

    RosesrReder replied to blackdiamond407's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Most places I have worked have a blood product consent signed along with the consent to treat at ADMISSION. Therefore you don't struggle if transfusion need arises. I have verbal orders because...

    I HATE bedside nursing

    RosesrReder replied to Sabr's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I feel your pain. While I love being a nurse, it took a toll on me and found myself very depressed and wanting out. I made the move to pre-hospital and I am sooooo happy. I work two 24hr shifts a...

    Why do you think nurses leave the profession?

    RosesrReder replied to Nacki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Agree very much with #10 as well. The stark cold reality is that WE ARE easily replaceable. There is a nurse glut and being cranked out

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

    I have never worked five 8hr graveyard shifts, but have three to five 12's and I was completely miserable. I did it for a few years and never ever fully adjusted. While I managed, I sacrificed so...

    BuckyBadgerRN, exactly in the PAST. Welcome to the world of CPOE lol I know it's different at the nursing homes perhaps. My comment was in surprise that people still take down verbals or phone...

    Was this such an unreasonable request?

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

    Verbal order? That's obsolete in many places with reason and unless it's an emergent situation, they should be avoided like the
