  1. anyone had herniated/ruptured c vertebrae discs?

    montinurse replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I just found out I had a HNP (Herniated nucleus) and they can be corrected with therapy. Probably a good chance it will go out again if I don't change my ways, posture, exercises to correct why it...

  2. Proper way to give suppositories

    montinurse replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing homes have policy and procedures that have to be followed, just the same as hospitals. I would dig that policy out and stick to it! And the proper way to do it is by visualizing the rectum....

  3. Why

    montinurse replied to nebrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Ha Ha..I think EVERYONE does this at some time or another. I think I've been guilty. But I know what you mean if they keep going, and going, and going. Maybe this should be on the list of "how to...

    montinurse replied to webmansx's topic in General Nursing

    One question I was asked, "give an example of a time when you gave excellent customer service/care" to a patient. Good luck-you'll do

  5. Nursing=Abuse?

    montinurse replied to ajroth19's topic in General Nursing

    I fully agree with you and respect your work ethic. It's those who are confident and condescend on those without giving them a fair chance. Not flaming your post in the least. Sounds like you have a...

  6. Nursing=Abuse?

    montinurse replied to ajroth19's topic in General Nursing

    Inexperience doesn't mean that doctors or nurses have the right to disrespect. I quit my previous job because I was belittled by too many doctors for being the new nurse. I may be a new RN, but not a...

  7. I got my coworker fired

    montinurse replied to lovesthefullmoon's topic in General Nursing

    "IF you can't connect with people...then you have no business whatsoever being a nurse in the first place." How can you be so harsh when you don't know my previous situation, or me for that matter?...

  8. 11 Things Your Nurse Thinks (But Will Never Tell You)

    montinurse replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    I was surprised when I had all these nasty thoughts my first few months in med/surg. So good to read I'm normal for thinking the same way! And it really does help me get through my

  9. I got my coworker fired

    montinurse replied to lovesthefullmoon's topic in General Nursing

    I don't condone "reporting". To me, it's like tattling. I would hope a fellow nurse would be able to talk to me (out of respect) in person before running to the nurse manager. Maybe this nurse had...

  12. Is 6 Month Of Med-Surg Enough?

    montinurse replied to WinterWolf90's topic in General Nursing

    I am a "scared stiff" one, 8 months on med/surg now. But I do not think it's wrong for anyone to tell you you cannot possibly be bored. I think many "experienced" nurses are unfair judges. I hate that...

    montinurse replied to PrettyKathyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on finishing school! How many days a week will the 3-11 be? Take that into consideration. I've found that I LOVE the 12 hour days because you get days off during the week, the 8 hour shifts 5...

    I don't know if anyone's mentioned this (didn't read through previous threads) but GET A GOOD careplan book! It helped spark ideas during nursing school. Don't copy word for word, tailor it to fit...

  16. How did this happen! Help I don't want to be this kind of nurse!!

    montinurse replied to female12233's topic in General Nursing

    I too have worked from CNA up (and many other jobs) and have finally been an RN for about six months now. I work on a busy med-surg floor, and see many different people. I have recently transitioned...

  17. Do you always state that you are a nurse?

    montinurse replied to 2BSure's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mention it, but if I accompany my mom or brother to their appts, or anywhere else, they ALWAYS tell everyone what I do :) I know they're proud, so I try not to get too

  18. COPD patient on 4 liters?

    montinurse replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen an early 50-some year old COPD'er on 4L continuous! I dc'd him last week, hopeful that he could quit smoking, only to have him back 6 days later. This is something I'm going to have to get...

    montinurse posted a topic in Medical-Surgical

    Hello all. I am a new RN, passed boards in January and started my first hospital job soon after. I've been there 90 days and am finally off orientation (on my own). I feel much more comfortable than...

  21. New nurse OVERWHELMED

    montinurse replied to leapof faith's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm in the same boat. How long does it take to feel "not so scared". And what's the average for being able to take a patient load on your own? I've only been orientating 5 weeks but am scared to death...

  22. Transitioning from LTC to med-surge

    montinurse replied to sistasoul's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I just passed RN boards in January, was an LPN working PRN at Skilled LTC before gettting my RN. I just started on a med surg floor. My experience definitely helps me, but the hospital is way...

    montinurse replied to EE112358's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with Chaya-she HAS to be aggressive. I had a terrible time getting callbacks. Only got them when I called HR directly, the numbers on the website and the automatic connect ones were no...
