    Nurses' perceptions of patients with borderline personality disorder - lit review

    uRNmyway replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Psychiatric

    A very wise teacher in nursing school told us that she firmly believes all of us, everyone, suffers from a personality disorder. The distinction is in severity and how functional you can be. Very wise...

    Double Fluid mess ups

    uRNmyway replied to anon456's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree, and I get it. But let's face it. We aren't talking about something that will be seriously harmful. Sure, the nurse could have gotten an order from the doctor saying that your child could have...

    Uk nurse wanting to move to USA

    uRNmyway replied to alharris's topic in Immigration Advice

    Oh boy...probably not the greatest idea unless you are marrying an American or something. Getting an H1b visa is pretty much impossible right now. On top of the ridiculous waiting list. That is IF you...

    Double Fluid mess ups

    uRNmyway replied to anon456's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I get what you mean GrnTea, but the few pediatric floors where I worked, that was just protocol. The nurses had no say in the matter. So you could explain your reasoning until you were blue in the...

    How to overcome being "terminated" from previous job

    uRNmyway replied to comrlg's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Have you tried SHOWING up to places you would be interested in working for? That is how I got my job offer. I happened to be in the hospital, sought out the director for float pool, and when I told...

    uRNmyway replied to popugate's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    My nursing program had about half 'mature' students, late 30s, early 40s. There were I believe 4 guys in a group that started with over 100 students. Don't let your age or gender be a factor. Just...

    Trick: Searching for job postings

    uRNmyway replied to avaloncar's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh, and capitals affect searches too. I have searched for 'fulltime' before, have 5-6 results. Put 'Fulltime', dozens of results. Then, make it 'full-time', different results. All within the same...

    Got fired for changing fluid rate

    uRNmyway replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    I beg to differ. Post history can be very useful. How we respond to someone with 20+ years of experience vs. a brand new grad will be different. Or if we look at their history, notice that there are...

    uRNmyway replied to mamacita2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Dear, we went over this with your post yesterday. There are lots of different factors that could be at fault here. For one, thermometer could be having issues. Two, could be placement of the actual...

    The nurse and patient's family yelled at me. I feel horrible.

    uRNmyway replied to mamacita2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Who knows? It could be placement of the thermometer. It could be a malfunctioning thermometer. Or it could be the nurse trying to throw you under the bus because she doesn't want to get yelled at....

    Best/Worst List of L&D nursing

    uRNmyway replied to hardworkinmama's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pros- Adorable babies. Being a part of such a wonderful, blessed time in a couple or woman's life. The generally slower pace, depending on shift of course. The fact that on average, you have healthy,...

    What Is The Shift You Will Never Forget?

    uRNmyway replied to bsartor's topic in General Nursing

    Oh God...I can't even begin to imagine how anyone made it through that day. The parents or the nurses. How horrible. Mine was kind of bittersweet. This was in nursing school, I know I have shared...

    uRNmyway replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I last renewed my RN licence in Quebec, Canada, it had jumped up 20% to 411$ for ONE year. I don't know if it included malpractice insurance, never really looked into it. Canadians, or at least...

    "I'm not floating."

    uRNmyway replied to Morainey's topic in General Nursing

    The place I recently interviewed for offers an extra 6$/hr to float, on top of shift differentials. I think that definitely makes it worth it! But I agree with a previous poster, I used to work...
