  1. "No nurses of color....."

    LynnLRN replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think in this day and age if a 20 something year old says that then they must have had a traumatic experience that makes them uncomfortable with a certain race. I'm not saying that it is ok. I think...

  2. Had my first grievance, not very happy...

    LynnLRN replied to mjs2118's topic in General Nursing

    Did you know the meds were due and then choose to do other tasks first and give the meds later? What time did you do your assessment at? I'm assuming you started at 7pm? I'm assuming (or hoping...

  3. Rate to run blood?

    LynnLRN replied to KaeliF's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like the ml's in blood are never the same. However, I think it typically ranged from 350ml-400. Are you sure your policy is over 4hrs? not 2-4hrs? I do not think I ever ran blood over 4 hours...

  4. Why so many tattletale nurses?

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

    I think people these days are just trying to survive and job security is a big deal so they try to take attention off of themselves and point out other peoples flaws. However, in other careers if you...

  6. Am I making a mistake not taking MedSurg position?

    LynnLRN replied to dalgal's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel like dialysis likes people who have acute care experience since acute thing can happen, so med-surg might better fit that

  7. Would you hire me and what questions should I ask?

    LynnLRN replied to Gonavy's topic in Home Health

    Depending on what kind of Home health care you are applying for it can be a very stressful job. I'm sure they would prefer someone with your experience. I would not want to go into a home and be the...

  8. *The Float nurse* anyone care to share?

    LynnLRN replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in General Nursing

    I floated a lot in my old position. It was hard at first but eventually you start figuring everything out, meet more people, see more things. Just give it time. Even new nurses who work on one floor...

  9. Science courses for Nursing

    LynnLRN replied to j0628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Can I mention this during an interview?

    LynnLRN replied to un.employed's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    haha if you want the job I wouldn't.... But what you could do if they ask a question like tell me about a time when you had a problem and what you did to fix it. You could say I worked on a unit that...

  11. How do nurse recruiters pick which applicants to contact for interview?

    LynnLRN replied to ala080283's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    At my facility (part of very large system) HR controls whether you ever reach the nurse manager. If you do not pass the HR interview (which is basic stuff) then you definitely wont go on to the next...

  12. Application Limit? What???

    LynnLRN replied to rskopek's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    When I had first graduated I applied to a couple med-surg jobs and never heard anything back, so then I applied to a bunch of different positions. I ended up getting an interview but the first thing...

  13. Please read and respond. Way depressed.

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

    This kind of anxiety is not normal. I don't think nursing is so much the problem, I think it is your anxiety. I think you will be this overwhelmed in any kind of professional environment that has...

  14. Over the Animosity

    LynnLRN replied to nursefina's topic in Emergency

    I think it is pointless to try and change this. I think it all boils down to people wanting to think their job is more important than someone elses. I think the only fix to this problem is a zero...

  15. When calling in are you asked "what's wrong with you"

    LynnLRN replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I never bothered to ask why people were calling if. If anything just say you have a stomach bug, or a sick family member or

  16. Why is it important to know patient's insurance info?

    LynnLRN replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    I need to know for discharge and getting supplies from DMEs and what brand their particular insurance will cover. However, in a previous job I never needed to know their insurance. Care management had...

  17. Advice needed on first RN job

    LynnLRN replied to Deetail's topic in General Nursing

    LynnLRN replied to cmcb2006's topic in General Nursing

    I think there are benefits to doing either option. So I say go with whatever job you get or if you are offered both go with the one that best fits your personality. Float pool is good for people who...

  20. Where are all the young nurses?

    LynnLRN replied to bestallaround's topic in General Nursing

    I just moved to a different dept and I am the youngest by 20 years! I feel like a baby, ha! However, where I was before I would say 80% of staff that were hired after me were early 20 new grads and...

  21. Are many nurses products of abusive/drug dependent homes & parents?

    LynnLRN replied to wsp4905's topic in General Nursing

    I think the reason the statistic is so high is because there are so many abusive/drug dependent homes. I am part of this statistic by the way! But I think if you looked outside of Nursing you would...

    LynnLRN replied to lifein08's topic in General Nursing

    LynnLRN replied to MN-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    At my place of employment they do not mind paying overtime for planned overtime. However, if you are done with your shift and accruing incidental overtime that is what they do not
