  1. how to leave work at work?

    RNGriffin replied to erhnurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    In the field of nursing, it's impossible to not take some of your work worries home with you. The best thing to do is build a support system between you & your colleagues so that if there is ever...

  2. Moving On To Expanded(Nocturnal) Treatments at Indiana University

    RNGriffin replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I am attempting to decipher the question or purpose behind the post. Was this a recommendation, an update of career transition, or are you receiving treatment? Pardon me for my ignorance, but the OP...

  3. Impossible for me to choose between these 2 FNP programs

    RNGriffin replied to lina620's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I would urge you to stay at Boston College, as you are receiving a MSN and not DNP! Therefore, you will soon be required to return to college for DNP by graduation at YALE! Although Yale is the better...

  4. If you hate being a CNA will you hate being an RN too?

    RNGriffin replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Nursing

    If you hate being a CNA, that's a pretty good indicator you will hate the job duties of a nurse. Patients' personalities don't necessarily change because your credentials have changed. You have kind...

  5. Just applied to Chamberlains MSN-MBA program

    RNGriffin replied to DebanamRN's topic in Chamberlain College

    Congratulations on your acceptance. Will you be in a physical course or virtual based for the first 2

  6. Scared and need advice

    RNGriffin replied to J_nicole's topic in General Nursing

    All of your subjects are subject to be transmitted in a clothing store before you will contract any in a medical facility utilizing Standard/Universal precautions. I would say, if you are afraid of...

  7. Impossible job expectations

    RNGriffin replied to annmariern's topic in General Nursing

    This is the typical day in a med/surg unit. Although, I don't see the importance of hiring LPNs and PCTs if LPNs are not able to administer narcotics and the unit sec is not there to answer the...

  8. Nurse's vent!

    RNGriffin posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is totally not workplace related, but I must vent in some open forum for individuals who have experienced the same issues. I have been working as a RN for many years now, and have never been...

  9. When a Nurse has been reduced to tears!

    RNGriffin posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello Community! So, I have stated many times before how I may be one of the toughest cookies to crack, but a patient today has finally broken down my barriers placed around my emotions. A 20 Year...

  10. When a Nurse has been reduced to tears!

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    So true! I think we all take for granted how lucky(blessed) we really are. I guess tears happen to the best of us. Sometimes all you can do is extend your arms out to those who you can't lie to and...

  11. NPs practicing as DRs

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

    Anyone who has accomplished the prolonged education process for obtaining their Doctorates should be referred to as Dr. There is a difference between an MD & a DNP, and I think that distinction...

  12. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello Community! While this post may seem a little insensitive for some, others can totally relate. I shouldn't have to verbalize "age has nothing to do with the ability to do the job". But, as of...

  13. OMG I did it with 75 questions!!!!!!

    RNGriffin replied to tern's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations and welcome to being an official RN! Hard work pays

  14. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    You're 8 Years my senior. You took this personally when the post excluded you, even if you felt as though it was targeting a certain age group? You wanted to pick a battle, not converse

  15. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    LynnRN you seem the most reasonable with your responses. This is not because you agree with my original posting. But, you actually took the time to understand, this was not a general statement of an...

  16. Night nursing

    RNGriffin replied to divaRN*'s topic in General Nursing

    Eat? I'll usually eat prior to my shift. There's a "Hot & Crusty" on Lexington that I am addicted with. So, I leave home 20 mins earlier than usual to have a slice of the $2.50 pizza and a cup of...

  17. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    Well, clearly you didn't read further than the topic heading. Good night,

  18. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    Do you all not see the double oxy morons within your responses to my original posting? On one hand some are asking me not to stereotype, which I never have. But, you're condemning all younger nurses...

  19. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    Am I overweight now? If you call 132 pounds, 5ft 9ins overweight...sure. I am quickly learning, education doesn't make everyone capable of holding an unbiased conversation...It's apparent within this...

  20. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever you you perceived within the original post!!!!!! Why even bother conversing

  21. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    There are many posts logging knowledge as the reason to keep these nurses in the workforce. I would say, their knowledge is a gem to newer nurses. Which is an alternative for the nurses with many...

  22. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you LynnRN. I am guessing majority of the posters have assumed I am a 21 year old new nurse who is complaining of having to carry the physical demands of an older nurse. Contrary, I am in my...

  23. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    If it has been misconstrued as me telling the older nurses to leave the workforce, then obviously some lack decipherment skills. I clearly stated, as the nurses grow older and are able to perform the...

  24. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    I would be cautious of the battles you choose. You never know who's on the opposite end of the computer..Good

  25. Problems with the aging nurses

    RNGriffin replied to RNGriffin's topic in General Nursing

    It's comical how in my original post I clearly stated "this does not apply too all nurses" nor was it a stereotype, but speaking a specific working demographic who are unable to perform the physical...
