  1. F B I

    bth44 posted a topic in Forensic

    I've searched the entire forums, and I've found nothing, and I apologize if this thread is in the wrong place. My father and I were talking about the FBI, and he told me that minimum educational...

  2. I need a cheat sheet or something! Help!

    bth44 posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    I've developed a bad habit that's totally bit me in the you-know-where. I work on a med/surg unit that has 16 beds, my usual patient load is six to seven patients, and I get pretty busy most of the...

  3. HIV testing

    bth44 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is it customary for people to receive HIV test results in person only, even if the results are negative? I got paperwork back from the doctor's office, reporting all my pregnancy, pap smear, and STD...

  4. Residents and Interns?

    bth44 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ever since I graduated nursing school, I've worked at a reasonably-sized hospital, and the nurses only work with attendings there. Our hospital is considered a rural rotation. I only time I've ever...

  5. Nurse dates doctor openly at work.

    HAAAH! I thought I was the only one who

  6. Advice on Resumes

    bth44 replied to Jenny C's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm finishing up my resume, and I thought it was appropriate to include clinical opportunities that not everyone in my program was able to do. For instance, I listed, under my education of course,...

  7. Job search in another city- how do I do it?

    bth44 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I think I'm ready to leave my hometown and move to the next largest city. I've been a nurse for, hmm, a little over a year and half. When I got my job here, it was really easy, because I worked at the...

  8. I had some trouble with a CNA...should I talk to the manager?

    bth44 posted a topic in General Nursing

    At the hospital I work at, everyone on the nursing staff is on probation for the first 90 days of employment. Then, there are peer evaluations done by the RNs. If the employee shows that they work...

  9. Focused Charting

    bth44 posted a topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I work at uses summary charting. I find it's not working for me because I'm too wordy and I go on and on and do a lot of double charting. I'm trying to meet up with a supervisor every so...

    bth44 replied to bth44's topic in Medical-Surgical

    That's a great idea too. Thank

  11. Animosity between the shifts?

    bth44 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in a 200-bed rural hospital. It's the only hospital I've worked in since graduating nursing a couple years ago, so it's the only thing I know. :) As time goes on, it's becoming more apparent to...

  12. Being called in extra....do you go??

    bth44 replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    At my place of employment, you tend to get guilted into coming in. I'm nights, and we're understaffed and we get called in as extra staff on top of who's already there, too. In the past, when I'd get...

  13. Animosity between the shifts?

    bth44 replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    "distinct personality difference"? What differences do you see between the staff on the

  14. Is it 5 or 7?

    bth44 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, I agree on that one. The 6th and 7th MUST be rationale and

  15. Is it 5 or 7?

    bth44 replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Nursing

    Expiration date can be considered a right. I learned it as P-DART-E. Patient Drug Amount of drug Route Time and Expiration. I don't know of a seventh one, but if I can take a wild guess, I'd say...

  16. How bad is this med error?

    bth44 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got written up for leaving a saline flush in a patient's room. I had went in the room with it already having the plastic cannula on it, ready to use, but the previous shift didn't tell me that the...

  17. How bad is this med error?

    bth44 replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    Your flushes sound like ours. They do say "0.9% Sodium Chloride" on them. And I thought about the morphine or other drug in the syringe, but then I thought about how the patient didn't have IV push...

  18. I had some trouble with a CNA...should I talk to the manager?

    bth44 replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    I do think I should bring up some things that have came up in my mind after reading the posts so far that I should have included in the first post. The CNA in question has a sarcastic sense of humor,...

  19. I had some trouble with a CNA...should I talk to the manager?

    bth44 replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, this is kind of interesting, too. I tried to get feedback from my charge nurse about it that night. She said she was standing nearby, but wasn't pay attention. She's very knowledgable about...

  21. Feeling disenchanted already

    bth44 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from school a couple years ago and have been working at a 200-bed hospital in med/surg with opprotunites to float to other units since then. This is the only hospital in the area, and it's...

  22. Feeling disenchanted already

    bth44 replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    It's one of the next big goals of mine I want to achieve. I'd like to gain a few year's experience in ICU and then try my chance to be accepted into a CRNA

  23. Supposedly SEX at work is okay where I work.

    bth44 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I really hope someone can give me some insight(specifically someone who's a supervisor or manager), because at this time, I'm very offended and upset. I was charge nurse on a unit a few nights ago,...
