  1. Compassion?

    LynnLRN replied to Buckaroo93's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like most of the very good and efficient nurses are not the MOST compassionate, not to say they have no compassion. However, most of the time that I hear patients complain about a nurse seeming...

  2. Did I get "too excited" too soon?

    LynnLRN replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    It takes 30 seconds to check someones oxygen level. I don't see the big deal. I say better safe than sorry. I'm pretty sure if the pt arrested and you went to court they would not think the med pass...

    LynnLRN replied to TFos's topic in General Students

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

    LynnLRN replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

  8. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    LynnLRN replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    I have witnessed many nurses become attached to patients that we come in contact with frequently. By attached I do not mean in love with, I mean people come in with sad stories and are quite sick and...

  12. Should I take it already?? Pls help!!

    LynnLRN replied to vn-rn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  14. Would this be appropriate for an interview?

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

  17. When the axe falls...

    LynnLRN replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sucks. But I guess I can see why someone is doing that. Obviously the old budget wasn't working so they need to pay people less. Plus, maybe the environment was toxic and people are resistant to...

  19. Time For Another Days vs. Nights Debate!

    LynnLRN replied to Vespertinas's topic in General Nursing

    Night shift is def. easier. The night shifters where I worked were a bunch of babies in my opinion, they always cried about how busy they were. But I think they had been babied for a while (they never...

  22. Easy job??

    LynnLRN replied to TiddlDwink's topic in General Nursing

  23. How would you follow up?

    LynnLRN replied to I<3LukeBryan's topic in General Nursing
