  1. Do you like picking raisins?

    Every nurf has a duty to do something it just so happens that my job is on a GI floor and I pick raisins all day, black and wrinky. Before I do that I have to dig. Do you like this kind of work ?
  2. Do Nurses Get Traffic Tickets?

    If you are cute and you use those lashes and wink at them then no. But when you are coming back home in the morning you are worn out, the last thing you need is to be pulled over
  3. How to interview a nurse leader

    I am struggling with this assignment where I have to interview a nurse manager/leader/supervisor other than my own. I will have clinical next week in a big magnet hospital, would it be strange if I walked up to that floor's supervisor and asked him/...
  4. Moving from the OR to an ICU...(possible a thoracic ICU)

    I think you will be okay to go straight to the ICU. Many people don't think of this but OR is like critical care and you will get orientation so you should be ready
  5. I had a patient who was questioning me and even though I attempted to answer her questions, she wasn't happy with my answers. She told me that I am a terrible nurse and to get out of her room. I said ok I will just don't disrespect me. She flipped ou...
  6. Rhythm interpretation a fib

    i am new on a tele floor. I was taught that a fib is irregularly irregular. I notice a lot of nurses on the floor chart a fib as the rhythm when the rhythm is completely regular. Im wondering if they are not interpreting the stips correctly or if I a...
  7. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    I was on orientation on days and then got moved to nights which is what I was hired to do. It was my first night on orientation with a preceptor and I was not feeling the best, was very tired got an admission at 2 am and was up for almost 24 hours al...
  8. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    you're right i have those passions but after I realized how much med school costs and how little money I have and no one to support me or my goal I went against it.
  9. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    Im so scared, am I going to be reported to BON for this?
  10. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    this is a little irrelevant but I am a little anxious and being brand new I was definitely nervous. My supervisor told me that "there is something wrong with me, she knew all along and couldn't figure it out, she could tell I'm nervous and uncomforta...
  11. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    Sorry that's confusing, she was finishing up her bolus from the ED that's why it was running by gravity, and then the rate was supposed to be 100 ml/hr. I agree with you though this pt was not stable enough to be brought to a new nurse on a med surg ...
  12. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    Her admitting diagnosis was UTI by the way
  13. I just started a new job and I'm almost done with orientation about to be on my own next week, I haven't had the best experience at this new job because my supervisor told me she can tell I don't like my job that much. I tried to smile at her and not...
  14. Im sorry what is ROI
  15. I still believe in personal choice regardless of what president Obama mandates me to do. If I was a drug company giant and stood to make billions of dollars by pushing a vaccine or drug, I might just interfere in policy and advertising to increase m...
  16. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    The most common complication of the flu is bacterial pneumonia. If you are a healthy, active adult it is highly unlikely that you will develop this complication. Mariebailey you seem like an expert on the topic, can you tell me long term side effects...
  17. What can I do locally if I am against the mandatory flu vaccine?

    Sorry but you can't look up what the vaccine contains- the package insert doesn't list the preservatives and various chemicals that go into making it
  18. 12 hour shift

    I would only work 12 hour shifts and have the rest of the week off!! I work nights and we are short staffed that many nights I work 4 or 5 12 hour shifts
  19. I'm in my twenties, have been a nurse for 3 years. Have noticed that most hospitals now only want BSN educated RN's not ADN. Was wondering what my chances are of being forced back to school for my BSN, or will they pass some of us experienced nurses ...
  20. What can I do locally if I am against the mandatory flu vaccine?

    It is in fact the law in 16 states thus far that has been passed this year. They are further working on legislature to ban religious expemption and make it mandatory in children starting at 6 months of age in preschool forward
  21. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    Its mandatory for us because its a money maker. There is no proof that if you get the vaccine you won't get sick again. Great way to make money. What happens if you get the vaccine and something harmful happens to you, will the pharmaceutical company...
  22. You're saying its only a goal but it seems that most hospitals now require it. I just don't want to waste time and money on a BSN if my goal is to get a BS in biochem, it'd be a huge waste of time for me
  23. Would this be a turn off in an interview?

    I am an ICU nurse of 2 years who will be interviewing at another hospital as a nurse. I am a premed student right now and I have put this in my resume. I am not sure how to explain this during the interview; I am afraid it will ruin my chances of get...
  24. Would this be a turn off in an interview?

    Thanks everyone thats helpful
  25. I am a new RN who has been working for a little over one year now. I work in LTAC where we get 4:1 ratio with patients being a little more complicated than your average med surg patient. I love it here but I need to move back home. I really want ICU ...
