    New nurse here. How do I overcome a suspension from work?

    wish_me_luck replied to BradenRN30's topic in Nursing Career

    Braden, I have heard a nursing home is a lot worse in staffing. Was it a med error? Because if so, that is easier to make in a nursing home. Maybe home health? It's one on one. Same patient load; but...

    Easier to find a job in the fall?

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking about it. I will be a new grad soon. Of course, many places do not want new grads. So, the ones that will take them, would it be easier to find a job in the fall? I mean May is when a...

    Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    wish_me_luck replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    herasheis, I agree. I know there are things that seasoned nurses say that's how you do it or they just learning the changes and we were taught the changes in school. For example, they used to do...

    Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    wish_me_luck replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    you always have to remember, around 25 years ago, there were not many nursing schools and it was a tedious interview process that went with application. My mom is a nurse and she went to school in the...

    Hep B Vaccine in the Newborn

    wish_me_luck replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am not positive, so don't quote me on this. But, I think it had something to do with mothers not disclosing if they were hep B positive and just to cover everything, they started doing it. Again, I...

    What's so great about a pinning ceremony?

    wish_me_luck replied to SummitRN's topic in General Students

    I am going to my pinning; but honestly, as it gets closer, I really don't want to. My favorite professor is pinning us, but still, I am not one who is a big "go me" person. I hate people looking at...

    wish_me_luck replied to nurs2012's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I am about to graduate and my classmates put out like 25 applications to a facility or facilities under the same system. The idea was to get a job. What they did is they interviewed for the ones they...

    It's your opinion and you are entitled to it RNsRWe. And I respect that. I just get irritated because there are multiple posts about frustration with students. If you do not want them, just say so. It...

    mama. RN that's the way it was with us the first two semesters. We did baths, assessments (again our assessment did not take the place of the nurse's assessment), and our instructor did meds with us...

    wish_me_luck replied to musickx2's topic in General Nursing

    Our peds day was more of observation, so I am not sure how we left a bad taste in their mouth. Plus, there was only one student at a time. And yes, there was mainly only one nurse that we went with...

    wish_me_luck replied to musickx2's topic in General Nursing

    I never told my nurse I was with what to do. She/he would ask what the med was (like what drug class) and why it was given and I told them. Plus, the paperwork and co-signing was done by my instructor...

    Also, the first two med-surg clinicals we were actually with our instructor, not a nurse. So, we helped the nurses by doing some of their med passes. Of course we could only have 5 students on the...

    RNsRWe, I can tell you of one. The days we were sent to peds floor; the nurses would flat tell us that they did not want students and disliked working with them. Needless to say, it became a running...

    SAD mindset of "future nurses" *sigh*

    wish_me_luck replied to sj73201's topic in General Nursing

    I used to think I would love peds because I babysit a lot and do SS at my church. It's very different when the kid is sick. We had one day of peds (in a hospital setting) during OB and I hated it. We...

    I want to weigh in. I am a SN. I know I have never taken a full load, if you are allowing them to take that, then that's your problem. We usually have one patient and the others we just went with the...

    wooh, I was referring to "mindlor" as the one who needs to chill out. That person was hateful. Also, it seems like after the first couple of answers of P and P manual, I think I am good. If you have...

    Nurses eat their young - now I understand why.

    wish_me_luck replied to RN_Marie's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    perpetual student, it sounds wonderful to say you are eager to learn. But, as someone who has been to resume classes and looked in books, etc. Employers hear "I am eager to learn" all the time. They...

    I agree 100% with PetstoPeople. But, then again, a lot of the other posters think I am a ding bat anyway. But, yeah, the vet tech can't put anything else as a position title because if that was the...

    Thank you, Sun! See that is the type of answer I am looking for. It explains that apparently 'yes, we have an idea of what a doctor knows, but for a different reason'. It helps a lot. I did not post...
