I have become increasingly frustrated during bedside report at change of shift. Ignorant nurses wanting to know ridiculous details or why I didn't do certain things. I'm not telling the Dr. To switch my patient from their current anti-depressant t...

I forgot my major annoyance of the week (and a question I initially intended to ask in this thread): would it be rude to say "please wait until I'm done report before asking questions- I will probably get there" in response to constant interruptions?...

Hi! I am a new grad (June 2014) and have been working in acute medicine for 4.5 months. There will be two groups of students with us 2 separate days each week. I feel like I have learned and grown as a nurse so much in my short career but I am feelin...

I said alert and orienTATED and was agreeing with it..... part of my reply got cut out. I dislike when people use orientated rather than oriented.

Oops that's was supposed to be a response to the comment listing "alert and orientated" as a pet peeve. One of mine is when people say "exact same". It's redundant to use "exact".

This.

In my area, palliative is the same as hospice. Patients in this area will not be receiving treatment for their medical condition, but rather their care is focused on providing comfort and psychosocial support to them and their family. You may be givi...

There is an instructor, but it is a 6:1 ration so the will inevitably be asking me questions. In terms of assessments etc I want to complete everything to ensure changes are detected promptly.

Do you wear make up to clinicals? What all do you wear? I wear concealer PRN, foundation, light blush, nude eyeshadow, mascara and clear lip gloss. If I am feeling especially energetic I will use eyeliner, but that is rare. As I am a poor nursing...

Wow, I could have written this post myself. I think others are more excited/happy for me than I am for myself. I am not looking forward to my job which I start very soon and I am avoiding studying for my RN exam like the plague. I have a personal iss...

I am officially done classes (yay!) and have four exams to go for my classroom based part of school. In January, I will begin my 12 week practicum on a surgical floor. How many pairs of scrubs do you own and how may do you recommend purchasing to sta...

thank you for your responces!

no, we can burn those white scrubs:)

So this may sound wierd but I think it is true. Althroughout highschool and my first year of university, I had perfect skin. However, when nursing school started, this all changed. It seems like I get acne whenever I am at the hospital. I don't think...

I am a nursing student and I work as a CNA in home care on a casual basis. I do like the job for the most part, but the way I am treated as a casual employee is making me want to quit the job. I get paid for what I work, not for the shift duration. F...

In a few weeks, my request form is due for where I do my final preceptorship. So far in nursing school, I have loved everything (but L&D). I am interested in surgery, OR, peds, community health and LTC! I would really like to work in community he...

I am planning on quitting my home care job, as it is too much with my nursing school courseload right now, as well as I am tired of the way the company treats employees. I am a casual employee, and as such have met my supervisor only one time- to fil...

Several of my classmates and I are becoming increasingly frusturated with our educational program. Our skills course is worth 2 credits. There are multiple reading to do each week and objectives to help focus us. There are skills videos that show how...

hakuna matata :) and Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking. When there are clouds in the sky you'll get by. If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through Fo...

Here's the thing-- I don't really want another job. I am only working so it can look good on my resume when I am looking for a nursing job. I am just worried that it would look bad to quit. I have been with the company since september now, but since ...

sorry that it is so long and for the typos-- after a while the screen flashes to the top after typing each character.

N/T keeps popping up in my pts chart. such as "n/t to upper legs, n/t to left hand" etc.

makes sense, thanks!!!

I have completed my third day of clinicals in a surgical unit. Some things I believe could have gone smoother (forgot to to my 5 rights a third time, forgot what one my meds side effects was, applied too much positive pressure after flushing picc, an...
