tragic-all the way around. we can wonder where were the siblings??? this daughter had obv. not made peace somewhere on the road with her mom and felt she could be the woman her mom raised. so sad...

having precepted many...more exhausting than a tough day if u take the responsibility seriously. i found that-depending on the school new nurses graduated-that their self-perceptions could be quite dif. taught to be leaders and the go-to people many ...

incredible experience--may u always remember the power and skill u had and the power and skill god has. when i was getting my master's and had to take a course in death and dying, the instructor-a ph d herself--shared that there really is no known b...

can u say privacy and hepa????

did vna for a few years and our daily quota was 7 pt.s..any more than that-and it was your choice-u got perdiem pay. 60 visits-sounds like an open door for confusion and errors. all u need is to arrive at one home and fine u have to make a few calls,...

as a past d.o.n for long term care facilities----c.n.a.'s are the backbone of each nurse and the facility and are under-appreciated. they are the best:) thank u:)

look at the nurse responses..then why do people think we are so thick skinned-how did that happen???

i cried as i read this-not only for this pt. and all of u, but, for my dad who was diagnosed and passed 4 months later. i cried because of my anger as a daughter and as a nurse. now on the other side of it-if possible-it has given me another layer of...

that is a tough question. though i am still not old enough to get my-even-early s.s. i do not think based on seeing the economy and the trend health care is going that nursing would be the right choice. realistically--our world is a tech world and t...

busy work to pass class time-i wish:) had none of that in my bsn program. leadership nonsense....to think that is nonsense is nonsense. look beyond the class schedule and the cum. booster courses-get it into your head you will be a leader and if this...

it is a profession that can hold life and death in it's hands, it is a profession that works with complicated equip., it is a profession that deals with the public more and more-from families to doc's, it is a profession that must be soooo legally sa...

who is bringing u down???? a good nurse is a good nurse is a good nurse. a smile and soft touch is there to open the door. think better of u and then others will. fyi-if i had a drop dead gorgeous nurse taking care of me-i would be less comfortable.....

i was a school nurse in mass. alot of walking-to the play ground for falls-if little ones- up and down stairs. if multiple schools-in and our of car...think about that one. and in mass.-u must have a bsn and take mass dept of ed school nurse certific...

i was an lpn for a few years before i went for an rn. i went 18 months and to date-with a masters' and a bsn-the best program,teaching staff and hands on experience i ever had. the director of the program taught us on the first day that no matter wha...

i would stress in many areas of nursing-in and out of a hospital-the nurses' educated call on the situation can save a life or make a life better with intervention. in order to do that-you must be well educated, exposed to many other nurses of all le...

so tough for a new nurse. i think you do have to put it on your resume-however-i would write it up as a mutually decided on termination as the ltc facility did not offer me a 3month preceptor-i took advantage of the chance to review and polish my ski...

perhaps the mean-ness is actually fatigue, quota responsibility, paperwork and poor staffing. new people anywhere-have to be figured out so to speak-change is tough for some-esp when it just might work and make the day easier. i agree-nurses are way ...

did vna for years and mentored new vna staff-happens all the time. just try to learn your way to do things in an organized manner. i used to have a manila folder for each pt and brought only that in- it's big enough to not forget-jot v.s. down and le...

by definition-we are judged from the start of time and therefore we judge-BUT- we should be able to separate and give the care and concern we need to. alas, sometimes easier said than done.

ridiculous and hurtful. i am not 'of color' but treasure my co-workers and friends that are.perhaps pt. should have been told all blood is red, all tears are salty but-not all people are that rude.

hi- abs. do not include your negative experience on your resume. in interview-u can always say something like u were in a personal life situation that took so much of your energy-has resoved and resolved well. tell them before they start to ask u-tha...

any facility u work in should watch out for satff and pt populations. u may have to find another job in another faclility to save your own sanity and skills. we all develop a short way of doing things, but sometimes with that scenarion-how can u do t...

this is soo tough and it is imp for u to have support and vent also. i have been a nurse for many years and this exp will never leave you. think u did great--always remember-death with dignity, give care with skill,but,with empathy and gentleness. th...

hi- i did exactly your stated plan. i also did not want bedside nursing and did not think i would be happy in hosp. adm. i obtained my bsn and used it to transition in to home health care-did on-the-road for 2 years and then into management. while u...
