Anyone have an experience working with them?

Yes, you need to know what you are giving. I had a handbook on the cart and looked up drugs all the time. I recently shadowed a new graduate who was passing meds like candy and did not know what many of them were for. I was amazed!?? Her med pass wen...

I had a pap -it had been three years since my last one--and could anyone tell me if this now the norm in exams. When I was rooming in, the assistant (no name tag) asked if I was here for a pap AND breast exam as well. Only a pap was done. Are you sup...

It's wise to have because you never know when your hospital will turn on you. I've seen long term employees just spit out in a heartbeat. No loyalty anymore. Also, society is more sue happy than twenty or thirty years ago. Poor souls who we would l...

Yes, I am not happy about health care workers without names tags now that I've matured a bit. I figure if they know everything about me including my address, I should at least know there name. I like this doctor and I plan to have a discussion about ...

now I'm getting confused. What test is done for HPV. I didn't realize it was a separate test from the pap

awesome, was going to respond but you passed. Oh, well for someone else. Four of us from school went to a movie the night before. Went to bed at a decent hour. We all passed. The ones who stayed home to study were nervous wrecks.

I wouldn't let a nurse recruiter determine your future. You know who you really are inside not her. Job shadowing is a great idea. Who has the time to mess around doing things you really don't want to do.

Whoops, sorry, I didn't make that clear. I think it should be a 20 month program like the one you went to. Typing too fast. It does seem strange that nurses are called on to make so many more critical decisions than an ultrasound tech would in the c...

I met an ultrasound student the other day. Requirements for her program are a four year degree now. I never thought this before, but I think entry level for RNs should be a bachelor's degree and LPN should go at least twenty months as Marie said. The...

Regarding having to spit out a script: My opinion is if you want a parrot, hire one.

You may have an undiagnosed medical problem which is causing a lot of anxiety. You may need a different area of nursing. You may need another career. I know a nurse who worked six months, then went to school for an accounting degree. She's had a grea...

Our admits counted as two visits. This place is taking advantage of you. Unrealistic work day.

What I don't understand about Carla is that why if every day you go to work and your nursing notes are deleted, didn't she report this to some governing board. The nursing home has no business complying with record tampering even if the husband wante...

Think of the sheer monotony of her days. One day identical to the next. Never tasting food. Pleasure seeking is natural. What pleasure does she have? What does she have to look forward to---oral care? Being turned and positioned. Staring at mom for a...

A OB head nurse gave me this tip once. Spread the labia and lift slightly. By lifting, the meatus presents itself better.

I wonder if they are subverting God's will for her life??? That's no way to live day in --day out, decade after decade....

It's a d*#x shame how our society treats those who had or have mental illness. We are still in the stone age on this one. What are people supposed to do. Sit home and withdraw from society and go broke. Much work needs done to educate employers about...

Congratulations, I predict you'll be a wonderful nurse. You have stamina and you didn't give up. Celebrate!!!!

Taking care of patients is hard work, frustrating work, time consuming but there is no excuse for what you did. You need to find another line of work. I would fire you in a heartbeat!

Send the letter to the editors of nursing journals who are insulated from reality. This is a wake up call.

Maybe the hospital would let her spend a few hours in outpatient surgery starting IV's with a preceptor.

One application I filled out asked if there were any prior Traffic Convictions. Is a speeding ticket considered a traffic conviction. Anyone.

I enjoy third shift guy too. He is one I would want taking care of me in the hospital!
