  1. what area of nursing is 9-5, no w/e and whats the pay like? NY

    LynnLRN replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    I think what you may need to realize is TONS of RN's want that dream job 9-5 no holidays, no weekends. There are not enough of those jobs. Dr's offices only need a couple nurses. Therefore, it may be...

  2. Is clinic nursing relatively drama free (does everyone get along)

    LynnLRN replied to lost4's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Not possible. Politics everywhere. Clinics tend to be part of larger organizations now so the politics onward down are still there. Plus, people are people anywhere you go. I work in acute care and at...

  3. MAR error

    LynnLRN replied to paulsab's topic in Patient Medications

    Was it a narcotic? and in your pocket when you left? That's my only guess as to what would have gotten you

  4. Restrictions on my RN license.

    LynnLRN replied to RNwannbe's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    When I got hired after graduating I worked with multiple girls who had just graduated and got jobs and they had DUIs the key thing was they were very upfront and honest about it in the

  5. Peg Site unable to heal- what to do?!

    LynnLRN replied to Lynx25's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Put an ostomy pouch over

  6. Certification for RN not BSN?

    LynnLRN replied to redfoxglove's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    From what I know all wound certification programs have course work and clinical and are quite costly and of course once u graduate the program u have to pay and take the actual certification

  7. Only Charting "The Good Vitals"?

    LynnLRN replied to whitecat5000's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is exactly why I don't think CNA's are qualified to take

  8. Liability of teaching an outside nurse

    LynnLRN replied to Blindsided's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see the problem. Someone has to give the injection. I teach family members/friends to care for my patients all the time. Where I live I feel like the only jobs are in health care, I feel like...

  9. Ethical/Personal Dilemma - What would you do?

    LynnLRN replied to EMEddie's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I actually don't think this is a the schools problem at all. You should be going to the director of the Hospital at which she works, that is where the breach

  10. How to say no when someone asks for your stethoscope?

    LynnLRN replied to emt... rn student's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Keep it in your pocket so people can't see it? Only carry it when you are actually doing assessments. If you are uncomfortable saying NO then the best thing for you would just to be not having it on...

  11. Soooo, I quit

    LynnLRN replied to TX911's topic in General Nursing

    Just because you quit doesn't mean you aren't elgible for rehire. I think you could list that on a resume as job experience and still get another RN job. Tons of people have been fired and continue to...

  12. CNAs no longer doing vitals on our floor

    LynnLRN replied to new_grad_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think nurses should get vitals because I find a lot of times NAs do not do it accurately anyway and it is part of the nurses assessment. I think a lot of patient decompensation that happen would...

  13. ACNP without research, theory, etc

    LynnLRN replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I think research is very important. It helps you to provide the best evidence based practice. I think a lot of this stuff actually helps in your day to day without you realizing

  14. Feeling broken and there's no way out...

    LynnLRN replied to RNRichi's topic in Emergency

    Everyone needs help sometimes and if that happened to a new grad right off orientation at my hospital people would probably be apologizing to that person for letting them be put in that awful...

  15. Know it alls....

    LynnLRN replied to CatheterCathy's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    At the end of the day, when all is said and done, does it matter that he is the way he is? Sometimes I feel that when we are irritated by someone else's behavior there is an underlying reason like...

  16. Guilt. How to Deal With It.

    LynnLRN replied to justbecamearn's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Its hard to say without more information from you on what you think your role was and where you made the mistake. However, lets do worst case scenario here and say you were some how responsible for...

  17. What else to do with a nursing degree?

    LynnLRN replied to DocsWifey's topic in Nursing Career

    Its only been a month? I know some places it takes longer than that for them to process your application and get you an interview. I know nurses can get into insurance or sales rep however usually you...

  18. RN's Is This The Best Way To Get.....

    LynnLRN replied to All4NursingRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I feel like (from job positings i've seen) a lot of the specialties you listed don't necessarily require experience in only that specialty but like the applicant to have some form of critical care...

  19. which is better

    LynnLRN replied to ksc0723's topic in Nursing Career

    Do you have kids or some other reason that you need a set schedule? I say life is too short to spend 40hrs/wk doing something you don't enjoy. So I would probably do whatever job I like

  20. Opinion, WWYD?

    LynnLRN replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't understand how your manager can ignore this. Why would your manager want to employ someone who isn't a team player and increases the workload of others. Has anyone actually went to the manager...

  21. The Unwritten Laws Nurse Managers Live By

    LynnLRN replied to rntj's topic in Nurse Management

    Wow, I have actually never met 1 manager like that, not even a director or chief. I also work for a magnet

  22. will this hurt me in school

    LynnLRN replied to rvd4now's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Having bad spelling is not an excuse. Carry a dictionary or use spell check........... problem

  23. Is It Just Me?

    LynnLRN replied to Mijourney's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside nurses are looked at as the "factory" workers of the hospital. I didn't believe this until I was no longer a bedside RN and saw first hand how leadership percieves the bedside RN. So anyone...

  24. A Diabetic rant

    LynnLRN replied to veggie530's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    At my facility the lantus shows up on the MAR with a message that says do not hold for NPO or low blood sugar. Most docs will just decrease the lantus if the pt tends to drop at the same time a few...

  25. Refusing a Clinical assignment

    LynnLRN replied to SheldonCooperPHD's topic in General Students

    I would not refuse. It is important to step out of our comfort zone. Plus, nobody would let you make a mistake so it is the perfect time to take something you are not comfortable with. If you do not...
