  1. Help! Not-so-new-grad still looking for a job :(

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

    Do you live in a big or little city? Are the hospitals you are applying at big or small? I encourage you to apply at bigger hospitals because I feel they are usually teaching hospitals and hire lots...

  2. To break the contract or not....that is the question

    LynnLRN replied to jaznia15's topic in Nursing Career

    Seems to me like you are at a fairly supportive hospital with all the switching around of your shifts you have been able to do! Especially with barely a year of

  3. Need help helping an unconfident nurse

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

    WOW! I'm surprised after a year and a half that nobody has had her sit down with the manager yet. The stuff you mentioned is basic nursing care, if she can't do that independently after a year and a...

  4. Feeling terrible, first med error... (long)

    LynnLRN replied to Bluekal's topic in General Nursing

    It does not appear that you caused the patient any harm with this mistake. I sometimes look at mistakes as good things because it makes you more careful in the future. I bet you will never again just...

  5. Direct-entry CNS programs: ridiculous idea?

    LynnLRN replied to guest464345's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I don't understand how you can be a "clinical" nurse specialist if you have never had "clinical" experience. You will be at a huge knowledge deficit. I guess it depends on what area you are looking to...

  6. Bedside Reporting starting Monday :(((

    LynnLRN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I love bedside report. I find it is actually quicker than doing report outside the room. You don't talk about your weekend and you don't get off track or talk about non-important things. Plus, you've...

  7. Dayshifters - do you take a breakfast break as soon as you get to work?

    LynnLRN replied to Snugglibumkins's topic in General Nursing

    I sometimes get to work 20 min early to eat food from the cafeteria while I write down my patient info for the day. However, even if I eat breakfast before I come to work which would be 530 a.m. I am...

  8. In my ER, we're required to do preg tests before giving Toradol. Does anyone else do this?

    LynnLRN replied to ReWritten's topic in Emergency

    I given toradol all the time on the med-surg floor I work on and have never checked a pregnancy

  9. Fake Nurses

    LynnLRN replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing aggravates me more than seeing an NA/MA say they are a nurse. I remember doing clinicals in a Clinic and the medical assistant walked into the patient room and said "Hi, I'm the nurse". I...

  10. More attractive grads have better chances of getting hired?

    LynnLRN replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Now that I think about it, I think on my unit alone I work with mostly attractive people! Not like model attractive but your everyday good looking

  11. Not allowed to SIT during 12 hour shift and MORE

    LynnLRN replied to katieusa's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That just seems ridiculous. Aren't we supposed to chart in the
