  1. Opinion, WWYD?

    beeker posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am a fairly new nurse, but can't help but want to speak up when I see something unfair. I am rather annoyed with something that goes on regularly on my floor. We have one nurse, lets call her Nurse...

  2. Is there always that one nurse.....?

    beeker replied to Queen2u's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yep, and your never going to NOT give them something to whine about so stop killing yourself trying. Those people always find something. And for what it is worth, these tend to be the people that...

  3. Night shifters who flip

    beeker replied to krimicrat's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I work nights, I can't flip or I am a mess for a week or two following. Trying to take a day off to go to a wedding or anything is awful, I can't enjoy it and then I suffer after. I am starting to...

  4. Help! having second thoughts and feel sad

    beeker replied to amzyRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Tell yourself you will try it for 6 months and then revisit. It is going to take a little getting used to, but it is temporary and not forever. You can do this! Military families are split up all the...

  5. Opinion, WWYD?

    beeker replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is just going to be really hard to keep quiet knowing the ridiculousness of it. I think for now, when working with this other person, I will continue to refuse an admit until they have a fair...

  6. Opinion, WWYD?

    beeker replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Did I miss your advice, or did you somehow wish to my question into your own union/nonunion debate? There is a forum for that if you feel the

  7. Budget cuts..... State nurses earn minimum wage?

    beeker replied to gcupid's topic in General Nursing

    Hope Scranton likes having no fire fighters or police officers. I hope they all quit and they mayor can deal with

  8. I'm hoping for advice or ideas concerning a coworker who has body odor

    beeker replied to TX.RN.Shannon's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just start calling her Nurse Stinky. No, I am kidding. The boss needs to call a meeting and discuss this matter of factly in private. There is no easy way to say your dirty and you smell. It has to be...

  9. IV help

    beeker replied to CherrySyrup BSN RN CPN's topic in Patient Medications

  11. Worst night ever

    beeker replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    The charge does not have patients on my floor. Some of them help us a lot. Some of them disappear for hours at a time, and some sit at the desk and shop online all night. Most of them are good, but...

    beeker replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys!I appreciate all your support, I really needed it. I feel a little better today. I am thankful I have one more day off before I have to go back. I checked, my next shift on is with a...

  13. No need to be upset at the truth! Change careers

    beeker replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    . I think working with animals is harder, I could never do it. You can't explain to them that you are trying to help, you can't ask them what happened or what is bothering them, and you really have...

  14. No need to be upset at the truth! Change careers

    beeker replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sometimes people have life experience that redirects their passion. You never know what people have going on at home nless you walk a mile in their shoe. I am wondering why you need people to leave so...

  15. Did you keep your nursing books?

    beeker replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I sold them all as soon as school ended. Books become outdated fast and in the age if the internet, if I need to look something up I rarely use a book. I used half.com to sell what I could, the rest I...

  16. How should I proceed as a new grad?

    beeker replied to emptyboxcars's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A hospital job is the opposite of the desired job you describe. It couldn't be any more opposite in fact. As a fairly new grad here, I can wholeheartedly say that working in home health is a bad idea....

  17. Is it worth travelling 4 hrs to work?

    beeker replied to RNHURT's topic in General Nursing

    But that is only if she were doing it for the money, which I don't think is the case. It is a means to an end. A way to get the experience and training to help secure a job in her desired area. She...

  18. Is it worth travelling 4 hrs to work?

    beeker replied to RNHURT's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the area. If that is her only foot in the door to the nicu, I think I would do it. BUT with a plan. I would do it to see if I like it as much as I thought I would, learn as much as I...

  19. Nursing listed as 4th on a list of fun jobs.

    beeker replied to DizzyLizzyNurse's topic in General Nursing

  20. New Grad Nurse needs advice please!

    beeker replied to ugadawg1696's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OP you need to stick it out at this job. You are getting sick of the drive? You are going to need to suck it up. Find a way to make it better or get a hotel room and work 3 back to backs. Make it...

  21. Management demanding perfection from a new grad

    beeker replied to lmd-RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'd start looking for a new position and quit as soon as you find one. This current situation is terrible and no good will come of it. You need a fresh start. Sounds like you are working in a...

  22. how do nurses wear nail polish?

    beeker replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    I got a gel polish manicure for a friends wedding (bride insisted even our fingernails match) and it chipped on my 3rd shift at work after having it

  23. the dreaded desired salary question for your dream job...

    beeker replied to Guest321574's topic in General Nursing

    I did my best to turn that question around at interviews. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it did not. The onew thing it did do, was make the interviewed dance around answering as much as I had to ....
