  1. Abandonment if I don't pick up over time shifts??

    HolyPeas replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in Nursing Professionalism

  3. Is this a VALID reason to terminate someone?

    HolyPeas replied to lllenjolll's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yep sorry to hear this because a lot of times you dont see central lines very often in LTC/SNF settings so Im sure your not experienced and as a rule you all are probably not even looking at the...

  4. Having a hard time making "friends" with colleagues

    HolyPeas replied to nurse1990's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dont press too much. Keep your head down and work hard. This is sort of natural, unpleasant as it is. Offer a hand when you are available, take care of the patients, give it time. If things on the...

  5. Best Shoes?

    HolyPeas replied to Katelyn38841's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I like the Nike View III. Super old unremarkable design but they last and are comfortable. I cant so nursing clogs because i roll my ankles too easily. These also come in wides which i end up being...

  6. Perfume at work?

    HolyPeas replied to fawnmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    No perfume. I even steer clear of heavily scented lotions, washes, and shampoos before shifts. You have to take into consideration that you may be caring for someone in repertory distress or someone...

  7. New Gad questions

    HolyPeas replied to emilyray's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

    Shame on your DON. No, an MDS nurse needs experience. Sounds desperate and short sided. State will chew you up, spit you out, and you will be the fall

    Hey, I just wanted to get something off my chest, and get a little feedback because something happened this week that has never happened to be before and as a newer nurse I'm not sure how I should...

  9. What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    HolyPeas replied to bluegeegoo2's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I could not function without my up to date glasses. Sounds like your vision is probably not as poor as a lot of people's vision can be without

    [h=1]Hey, I just wanted to get something off my chest, and get a little feedback because something happened this week that has never happened to be before and as a newer nurse I'm not sure how I...

  11. INR reporting issue

    HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. I have no problem, as an adult, admitting to exactly what I did and did not do, I just don't want to be a doormat either, and as a new nurse I wasn't exactly certain how much of this is...

  12. INR reporting issue

    HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I started this job about 7 or 8 months ago as a brand new nurse fresh out of school but I started on night shift, I've been on days maybe half of that time now, and I am still running into...

  13. INR reporting issue

    HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, the patient should have probably been on an increased dose over the weekend. Thank you for your feedback. I completely own the fact that should have been addressed while I had him on the...

    HolyPeas posted a topic in Rehabilitation

    Hi guys, as the title states, this is my first job as an RN and I was in psych previous to this so let's just act like I know nothing, because thats what it feels like. Are there any things I should...

  16. Nurse not passing meds...should I report to BON?

    HolyPeas replied to Mudder's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I realize this is an old thread but I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. I would try to find out WHY its happening. It sounds like she has already been talked too, and it doesnt sound like she is...

  17. New Nurse - How long should my preceptorship last?

    HolyPeas posted a topic in Rehabilitation

    So, I got my license back in December but had to wait until recently to get a job because I had surgery and whatnot. Anyway, I started my orientation this week and I am overwhelmed to the point that I...

  18. Job offer problem - Who would have thought? Time sensitive, please take a look.

    HolyPeas posted a topic in Nursing Career

    So, after a good solid three weeks of being on the job prowl up until today I have had ZERO luck. It's doesn't help that I'm a new grad without a ton of experience but that is besides the point. There...

    HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in Nursing Career

  20. Interview with "Inappropriate" Questions

    HolyPeas replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I dont know who you would "report" that to, but you probably should. You might continue your job search too. The interview is a time for both parties to put their best foot forward, if THAT is what...

  21. Job offer problem - Who would have thought? Time sensitive, please take a look.

    HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, you are right, but what I really mean is that at least here in kansas, you still dont hear about new grads taking months and months to find jobs. Everyone I know that I graduated with in...

  22. Student Body Odor

    HolyPeas replied to hsnurse1's topic in School

    Be gentle with the kid, but let them know that it's noticeable. Ask them if they need anything, because you never know whats going on at home. The washing machine could be malfunctioning, they might...

  23. Young, Thin, and Cute New Hires

    HolyPeas replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, I can see that. I think that nursing as a whole is a professional carreer, but some fields are more professional than others. Psych nursing, for example is pretty lax. I am an easy going...

    HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in Nursing Career

  25. Job offer problem - Who would have thought? Time sensitive, please take a look.

    HolyPeas replied to HolyPeas's topic in Nursing Career

    Yeah, I didn't mean to make it sound as though the NM were taking longer than they had a right too, but just that they are taking longer than the rehab facility, and I don't know how to put the rehab...
