    This is a good one. I see it all too

    Point of clarification: perhaps the photo is a violation of the TOS, however, this is not abundantly clear as it does not out and out specify that it is forbidden. The verbage makes it sound as though...

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I only do what's required of me! That's why I'm *never* going to make it to RN II status ... because I don't contribute a single solitary thing to my field. Ever. I just go to work, take on...

    1. If JC ever asked where my P&Ps are, I can direct them to such without an issue. 2. There are many, many things I can think through on my own, if armed with the appropriate knowledge. If I don't...

    Please refer me to the section where an account can be suspended for such behavior. From what I was referred to prior, it was merely a suggestion as to avoid any repercussions. I have posted on here...

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I asked for help deciphering a very specific order set that had come in for a patient that became critical. I ASKED for help in #1) prioritizing the order set, and #2) the protocol/procedure for...

    Really? So the rest of my life should be put on hold while I take home 5 binders of P&Ps? Makes perfect sense to

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I've been told I'm not empathetic enough to work in L&D. Of course, I've also been told I'm not competent/experienced enough to be in acute care, either (medicine/surgery), so I suppose the...

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The thing that always seemed intimidating to me about OB is the fact that your patient load essentially doubles: you're concerned for mom and baby. And if there's a complication in the mix with both...

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it's hospital dependent. Where I spent my nursing school clinical, the med-surg unit was slower than molasses. Everything that got even semi-complicated got immediately transferred to a...

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    You clearly haven't read a word I said. I didn't assign responsibility for my ignorance to the P&P's on any one individual. My issue was with the fact that this particular situation was fast...

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you think OB is the place for a new graduate to start out? Come on. A wise clinical instructor once told me that starting out in a specialty is career suicide. I have taken that advice...

    I'm not sure how you can sit there and make such an inaccurate statement. You have a snapshot into my orientation period. You don't know my hospital, nor my preceptor, nor the organization or...

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Clearly, you think orientation is a time where the new nurse sits at the desk and commits protocols to memory. Sadly, not the case. I have witnessed older nurses have to look protocols up themselves...

    I don't think it only refers to "catty passive-aggression." A lot of it is over

    But being armed with that information from someone who might have a good insight never hurts so that said person can make an informed
