    From PCT to RN, does it get better?

    KJoRN81 replied to Xlorgguss's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree with the poster who mentioned that the pay makes it MORE worth the struggles. And it also depends on where you work, what kind of floor you're on, etc. I worked on a busy tele floor and...

    8 or 12 hour shifts

    KJoRN81 replied to LPNTOBE2017's topic in General Nursing

    I know this is an old post but I thought I would throw in my 2cents anyway. I have worked both 12s and 8s and while I hate the long shift, it is nice to only be at work for 3 days. However, I have...

    Very emotional nurse considering going into hospice nursing- good idea or not?

    KJoRN81 replied to RN416's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    You know, I was the same way too when I started my position. I have found, however, that the patients that are actively dying make me LESS sad than the ones who still have aways to go in their...

    Nurses Diverting Narcotics.

    KJoRN81 replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I turned the same nurse in TWICE (wrote two statements, copies of MAR, etc).....with no results. It was almost like an "open secret". Eventually she left & checked herself into a MICU for...

    Nurses cant do IO?

    KJoRN81 replied to blackvans1234's topic in Patient Medications

    Maybe it depends on the state (I live in Iowa): I just had ACLS certification & the only time IO was brought up was in mentioning access sites. We didn't learn anything about placing them. "It...

    New grad - icu/critical care

    KJoRN81 replied to MarkPendleton's topic in General Students

    I'm a "new grad" (technically speaking: my hospital considers any nurse with under one yr experience a "new grad") & I started in the ICU on March 3rd. It's very overwhelming but I think almost...

    KJoRN81 replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    One of my first days in the OR as a CNA, they were doing an organ harvest (sorry, I know the organ donor network doesn't like that term), & somebody didn't secure the body to the table & it...
