  1. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    What a fun thread 😂😂😂
  2. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    Don't go outside and repeatedly hit your neighbors car with a baseball bat because you had a disagreement. He may come out with a hammer and beat you over the head with it in retaliation, causing multiple lacs, skull fractures and a nice brain bleed ...
  3. Bedside nurses and pregnancy

    I'm still on maternity leave from having mine, six weeks ago. I went to 38 weeks and he was born at 38 weeks 4 days. The pelvic pain was so bad I couldn't even walk. Luckily my manager was nice enough to take me off the schedule!
  4. I can't do it all (mom rant)

    Your son needs his mother at home more than he needs to go to private school. My sons grades started to fall this year too. Like yours, he doesn't like school . After a conference with the teacher, myself or my husband started to sit down with him af...
  5. I'm lost. I want to quit nursing.

    OP i don't think continuing to job hop is going to help you. You've had 3 jobs in 2 years. You can't get comfortable in your job or role if you're changing every few months. It seems like there is something more going on and getting another job you'l...
  6. Reportable BRN incidents

    You made a very poor decision by doing this. I can imagine you would face discipline at work and this is definitely a reportable incident. I would take this and learn from it. Honesty is the best policy. If you accidentally gave the additional 5mg, a...
  7. Shift Report: Listening, no writing...

    I never write anything down in report. A lot of my coworkers act like it's the craziest thing they have ever seen. My view on it is this, if you're speaking to me, I should be looking at you and listening to you. If you're focused on writing everyt...
  8. interested in nurse educator

    I am a BSN-RN with almost 5 years of nursing experience all in critical care. I am ready to moon walk on out of bedside nursing at this point in my life. I really do like what I do, just that my BP is up, I have developed terrible neck/back pain and ...
  9. Just Take Your @#*! Break!!!

    I agree with everyone else. Other than a code or a brand new admission rolling into the door, there really isn't anything that can't wait 30 seconds while I use the restroom! I don't understand when nurses say they have not had time to urinate the wh...
  10. Advice needed

    Hello My family and I moved to the area we live in now about 1 month ago. 2 weeks ago, out of desperation, I took a job in a CCU here in my town. Friday evening, another hospital called me for an interview in their L and D. This is the area I have wa...
  11. Advice needed

    Thank you all, this is great advice. I will answer the interview questions honestly tomorrow. If I don't get hired, then at least I know that I did the right thing and my conscience will be clear. I won't have to worry about being caught in a lie
  12. Advice needed

    Wow I did not even think of the background check thing. I'll tell the truth. Hopefully the manager will respect that and give me a chance
  13. Advice needed

    Thanks for the reply Thats what Im thinking too. I may not mention the new job. Im just not sure what exactly to when asked why I left my old job. Yes I understand that bridges will be burned with this new place but this is my dream job for sure. I'm...
  14. "I don't want an admit..."

    I agree with what someone else said about the anxiety of the unknown being the worst part. Sometimes you just don't know what is going to come rolling off the elevator
  15. "I don't want an admit..."

    You sound like an amazing CN. I WISH I had that kind of help. Our CN literally stays glued to the desk the whole time. If you ask her for help, she will flat out tell you "no I need to stay at the desk". If you get an admit, forget it. She will sit r...
  16. Why is the US healthcare system so full of "mini-doctors"?

    There is no way on Gods green earth that this question could be serious
  17. Just a few days ago I was in the same situation as you. I work in a small community hospital on the beach (1 hour commute) and I have been wanting to transfer to our central campus downtown (30 min commute). I was very scared to ask my manager becaus...
  18. I live in Fl and hospitals seem to be hiring both equally. I have an ADN and I got hired into an Adult ICU and a NICU, at a magnet hospital. Not sure about other places but hospitals in my city don't seem to care
  19. Oh, since you said it that must make it the truth
  20. Wow. Just wow. This is extremely offensive
  21. I can only speak for myself, but I dont go around advertising what degree I have to doctors or patients. It's no one else business except for myself and my hiring manager. For all they know I have a doctorate in nursing. All they need to be concerned...
  22. Adult ICU nurse really wanting NICU

    Im an adult ICU nurse with 5 months experience. My goal coming out of school was to be a NICU nurse but I got hired right away into adult critical care. I enjoy my job and I'm very grateful for it, but it isn't were my heart is. I have been applying...
  23. NICU shadow soon

    Im an adult icu nurse, and while I do like it, I've always wanted to work in the NICU. I've been given the opportunity to shadow a nurse and at different hospital on Monday the 10th. I'm super excited and I'm hoping this may lead to an opportunity to...
  24. NICU shadow soon

    Thank you!!
  25. NICU shadow soon

    Oh dang I was looking for nicu, didn't realize it was there! Can the moderators move it or should I just repost?
