  2. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    JZ_RN replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As a new RN I would never behave like this. Don't peg this on young people or new grads alone. I have seen many experienced nurses act just as ridiculously. I am sorry you had this experience but you...

  3. Terrified and Humiliated New Grad in LTC

    JZ_RN replied to Super Ultra's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Don't let this guy intimidate you. If he's the boss, chances are he is not understanding to the struggles of the floor nurses, which is what I have found in LTC. Once you're off the floor you're real...

  7. Nurses are the real heroes ?

    JZ_RN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    All I ever hear is that the military is the hardest job or police officers. While I don't discredit their hard work and sacrifices in any way, I'd like to see them do my job for 1 day hahahaha. Nobody...

  9. What is it like to work in a clinic?

    JZ_RN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    And I don't mind having a lot of work or tasks, but when there's 50 things I'm expected to do at the exact same time... that is stressful. I am not lazy

  10. What is it like to work in a clinic?

    JZ_RN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Glad to hear you are so happy at your job! I have set up simple EKGs and placed a few IVs as a new nurse. Some of these skills are new to me but I am a hard worker and learn fast, plus I do not give...

  11. This is the "new" policy..denied admission based on low compass math score

    JZ_RN replied to suzilks1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Kids who had to take classes with other students who made it impossible to learn (like at my school which practiced inclusion, and this is not a bash on inclusion just that in my experience it made it...

  12. Still passed with CC page or bad pop-up?

    JZ_RN replied to Gena_g72 at yahoo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I got the good popup and passed, had a friend from school who got the bad popup and failed. I can't say for sure if that means anything, just our experiences. When she passed taking the test again,...

    JZ_RN replied to Starfish, RN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Where I was at I had fresh post-ops ( And my ratio was 1:53. with 2 aides, sometimes

  14. Possible exposure

    JZ_RN replied to thebeatingheart's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Patients are not ever tested usually unless they display symptoms. I don't think they can fire you, but if you're in a "right to work" (AKA employees = slaves) facility or state, you might be...

  15. Neglect, or not? I think so, ADON disagrees...

    JZ_RN replied to littleone25's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    As a nurse, if one of my aides came to me and told me to come see something (which mine frequently do, because they know I want to know about anything important and that they are my eyes and ears...

    JZ_RN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Had called an MD (the medical director) about a possible infection like this once. (at a tube site) Called 2 times, paged, faxed. tried everything, no answer, no return phone calls despite leaving a...

  17. OU graduation rates

    JZ_RN replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    Well, there were small things that I find useful, and I'm not done with it yet, took summer off... but it seems to be more focused on "can you write an APA citation" than anything that I can really...

  18. Incontinent ON PURPOSE

    JZ_RN replied to curlyfry17's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    I saw this in LTC in people who just never want to get up. But then again we also had the LOLs and LOM that wanted to get up and ambulate to the BR and were always falling to do so... You can't

  19. Nurses disrespecting nurses

    JZ_RN replied to newrnltc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Pfft, people who are rude like that are too ignorant and probably couldn't last one shift in a 60 patient LTC position. I never put down someone's place of work in nursing, they're all hard in...

  20. I am concerned with age discrimination?

    JZ_RN replied to Michael Shimko's topic in General Nursing

    I get discriminated against because I am young and people assume I'm irresponsible or uneducated or who knows what. I passed boards, I work full-time. I am responsible and hard-working, and most of...

  21. What is it like to work in a clinic?

    JZ_RN replied to JZ_RN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    I am excited. I know there will be lots of phone calls and paperwork, I don't mind that stuff. What I am excited about is not being the person who has to deal with the fact that no one reordered...

  22. Do you find the nursing theorists/theories you studied in school useful in real life?

    JZ_RN replied to DichloroacetateAl's topic in General Nursing

    No. No two patients are alike, no theory is all inclusive, and since I don't have time to focus on the patient's every single assessment that every stupid theory needs, because I'm trying to learn...

  23. Giving PRN meds- need some clarification

    JZ_RN replied to nikkicb2004's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    PRNS and narcotics cannot be given "an hour before or after." A few minutes maybe if the patient is going to therapy or going out for an activity, but no, this nurse just was too lazy to do a PRN and...

  24. Where does the new Associate Degree RN fit in?

    JZ_RN replied to marthabaez's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We fit in a van down by the river or a cardboard box because there are no decent jobs for us. I am happy I finally found something besides LTC (which I was miserable in because of the overwork and...
