    Should I put every RN job on my resume? Or just the main ones?

    SHGR replied to SHGR's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thank you, NRSKarenRN. Is it ever acceptable to simply summarize? Literally, something like, "Varied nursing experience over nursing career, including four months in home care case management and...

    Patients who call the clinic 1 day before meds run out for refills

    SHGR replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I love that sign!!! It's so true. But wow, we must work at very similar clinics. The "We are not a walk-in clinic" on our door works just as well. It applies to "everyone but me", right? It's part of...

    Patients who call the clinic 1 day before meds run out for refills

    SHGR replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    If you want patients to follow your policy, you have to adhere to your policy. If you drop everything, yes they will continue to exhibit the behavior. I tend to be the "drop everything to do this...

    Does this nurse totally not like me??

    SHGR replied to chariot's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ditto the other posters. Definitely keep reporting any abnormals to the nurses. Sounds like you are doing the right things, yes it does get busy!

    Why is it always the patient with the worst situation? geez

    SHGR replied to gloryfied's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not really understanding what you are trying to convey. "I just thought, dude, you are at your worst, and you have the nerve to be reckless to people and make our hob harder." What does that...

    Can a person without diabetes be a diabetes educator? Can you be a good dialysis nurse without having experienced kidney failure? What about hospice nurses? (hmmmm.) Just some things to think...

    To BSN or not to BSN

    SHGR replied to J.D.'s topic in LPN to RN

    My advice would be to work as a nurse for a little while and then decide. You will find out- whether you even like being a nurse or not, before committing more time/effort/money; clarify what your...

    Would you take a job if you knew the floor had a high nurse turnover?

    SHGR replied to citylights89's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes, I would have taken it. I did take the first job I was offered, when I graduated and there were few jobs. Definitely not my first choice of work. I was able to transfer to the desired area...

    SHGR replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in General Nursing

    Wisest thing I ever read here- "Taking care of sick humans is expensive." Esme12, on health care profit margins...and the value of human lives. I keep it in mind a lot. Actually, pretty much...

    How many years will it take to get my MSN?

    SHGR replied to f_nurse2b16's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    OP, NP programs are 40-some credits generally. Full time grad school is around 9 credits per semester- like three classes- but 6 cr/2 classes is much more doable if you are working. Each program is...

    I Don't Know How To Study :(

    SHGR replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What helps me- drawing diagrams and charts, and reviewing those and practicing explaining the concepts to a variety of people, either really doing that or just to myself, for practice. Both of these...

    Hospital Beep Syndrome

    SHGR replied to hypatiafaerie's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I used to have that all the time. The beeps would get stuck in my ears, just like pungent patient aromas (iliostomy comes to mind) would get seem to linger in my nose. I think this is kind of...

    SHGR replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Nursing

    It is weird, but yes, sometimes I see my old Grandma who passed 14 years ago in the way another patient appears. Even weirder when I see a black woman who looks so much like her, kind of in the way...

    American Academy of Family Physicians thoughts on NPs

    SHGR replied to SkiBumNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I read a lot of what the AAFP puts out, since they are the official organization for Family Medicine docs. Their tone is definitely not pro-nursing in any way- they do not see nursing as partners...

    Do You judge and treat patients differently depending on who they are ?

    SHGR replied to star.crush's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Being able to turn off prejudices is a learned skill and one that can be developed. (I love working with "my patients," the so-called "noncompliant diabetics;" it's a learned skill!! If I didn't...

    How many of you here wear ted/support hose to work?

    SHGR replied to violet_violet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wore those when I worked the floor and was on my feet 9 hours at a time. Now I sit most of the day- probably just as hard on the body. But no, I wasn't embarrassed. And guys do wear hose
