  1. Got written up AGAIN

    MissM.RN replied to Justliving00's topic in General Nursing

    I have two thoughts about your situation: 1. nursing is a "24 hour role". no one nurse can be expected to do every possible ordered thing within 8 hours. i mean, if the patient doesn't have a...

  2. Hire Me

    MissM.RN replied to MR-RN15's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you can deal with a cross-country move, look into NH and VT. new grad and ADN friendly. PM me if you need further detail. I relocated too and never for a minute regretted

  3. Need help finding job

    MissM.RN replied to RN122014's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you feel comfortable sharing, what is your

  4. Frustrating Job Market

    MissM.RN replied to katymom's topic in General Nursing

    OP, can you relocate? if so, send me a private message. i can give you a couple of leads. if not, best of luck to you. the job market for everyone has been horrible since the 2008

  5. I lack social skills and confidence. Is nursing a possibility for me?

    MissM.RN replied to DerAustin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, I echo what a previous poster said: I think it might be time to get your anxiety under control. That doesn't mean you couldn't be a great nurse though! It sounds like you are smart and have some...

  6. Applying to jobs out of state

    MissM.RN replied to lilnursey'15's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    OP - yes! I graduated at a very difficult time for new grads to get hospital jobs. It was hard to swallow because I have a family, but I'm glad I did. The hiring process at my hospital was ok - long...

  7. Would you send this patient to the unit?

    MissM.RN replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    OP, you should be thanked for your advocacy and getting this pt to the unit where they belong. As a charge RN, I would simply not accept this patient to my unit, not assign a bed or nurse, and maybe...

  8. First Med Error... Learned Big Lesson

    MissM.RN replied to NurseyNursington's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP, you should be commended for your care and honesty. there are some nurses that i know who would have said "eh" or perhaps didn't even notice the BP AT ALL or worse still, let an entire day go by...

  9. Job Hopper, concerned

    MissM.RN replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Agree with both OP and previous posters. That job makes it seem as though you were working at a nearly-bankrupt psyc unit in a prison. oy vey! however, yes many new grads state that the work is...

  10. New Grad Nurse Journal ICU

    MissM.RN replied to tsipareht's topic in First Year After Licensure

    WHY oh why is "journaling" a new thing in nursing? I find keeping your feelings and opinions to yourself is a lost art. I can't believe your employer (let alone nursing schools) is making people do...

  11. Brigham and Women's Hospital

    MissM.RN replied to Littleles79's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Can anyone give me their opinion on this: I've put a few applications out to BWH for staff nurse/floor positions and step-down/intermediate. while I heard back and received good feedback from two...

  12. My termination story, any new grad success advice appreciated!

    MissM.RN replied to Islaleigh's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP, sorry you're going through that. 6 week new grad orientation for a 6 patient ratio? Unacceptable. Please do not judge yourself too harshly given that training and ratio. I refuse to work 1:6 and I...

  13. Jobs in Boston

    MissM.RN replied to mstone21388's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Boston nurses, how long did it take (roughly) from the time you applied to a particular hospital job to the time you finally heard back from HR or the nurse manager? I am BSN/experienced. thanks in...

  14. Updated info re: new grads in CT?

    MissM.RN posted a topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Hi there! I'm graduating soon and of course will be facing the pretty brutal job market. Any recommendations out there for hospitals in CT that are willing to hire new grads? I will have a BSN, if...

  15. FAHC New Grads - Phone interviews?

    MissM.RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone! I'm wondering, has anyone else applied to the graduate nurse program at fletcher allen? Have you heard back from HR or nurse managers? Any insight you all have would be helpful! I had a...

  16. Brigham and Women's Hospital

    MissM.RN replied to Littleles79's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    yes please! i'm guessing ICU would have to be 1:1 or maybe 1:2 at times. how does the nurse : patient ratio work out generally on other

  17. Brigham and Women's Hospital

    MissM.RN replied to Littleles79's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hi Ashley, I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you know what the ratio's are

  18. What did I do wrong?

    MissM.RN replied to mzsuccess's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    OP, so sorry you were put in that situation. it sounds like you are working for a crappy agency and everyone who is supposed to support the only one (you!) who was directly in the home failed. The...

  19. Is There Enough Time for Patient Teaching and Teach-Back in Fast Paced Acute Care Settings

    MissM.RN replied to brcanda3's topic in Patient Education

    Goose lady - yes, brief moments of patient teaching can occur during med pass. I find it difficult to believe that quality teaching sessions are occurring while wiping someone's buttocks. And how much...

  20. Is There Enough Time for Patient Teaching and Teach-Back in Fast Paced Acute Care Settings

    MissM.RN replied to brcanda3's topic in Patient Education

  22. Bostonian RNs: Where do you work and why?

    MissM.RN posted a topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Hello Boston area nurses! I'm interested to find out your opinions about where you work. Do you work in a particular hospital because they are great/nurse-friendly/great manager? Do you even like...

  23. Bostonian RNs: Where do you work and why?

  24. Bostonian RNs: Where do you work and why?

    MissM.RN replied to MissM.RN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Forgive me. I can clarify: I would rather be in Boston-city because I'm not really a driver. I don't have my own car, so I'm dependent on MBTA or walking. I would love to be able to walk to
