  1. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    To clarify, my orientation period was 12-weeks long. I work in a 1:6 Medical Inpatient unit. I do 3x 12-hour shifts a week. I also rotated through three different preceptors. Case in point: 12-weeks...

  2. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    You won't see it if a) you're a stunning example of it, b) you refuse to open your eyes to it, or c) you accept that it is

  3. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Really? I'd be a better nurse if, a patient were crashing, I looked up a protocol rather than having the charge/resource nurse assist me? Interesting. It appears to me that if I took the 10-15 minutes...

  14. "Loosing" my license

    nynursey_ replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    While I appreciate your concern, Ruby, it is merely a suggestion I not use a personal photo as an avatar. I have nothing to hide and I stand by my words. If anyone were to search me, they would find I...

  15. GN to NP in <1yr

    nynursey_ replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    My program is primarily a full-time program, although it does have a part-time option. The part-time option is an 8 credit-hour semester option, and that is typically the equivalent of one specialty...

  16. "Loosing" my license

    nynursey_ replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I think the biggest offender to these myths are nursing instructors. I recall in my final semester of nursing school, I sat through a four hour lecture given by a RN turned attorney and was shown the...

  17. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Off topic, but I'd like to say that for some of the students that ask for help, their nursing school may not be as tight knit and comprehensive as other schools, and so an online community is their...

    Great idea! Being armed with evidence to support your concerns is always a great idea, particularly since nursing is so concerned with

  19. GN to NP in <1yr

    nynursey_ replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is essentially what my RN-BS/MS-FNP program is aimed at. You need at least 1-year experience in the inpatient setting before you apply to the program, and you must maintain at least part-time...

  20. Documentation of name signing

    nynursey_ replied to cheryljo's topic in General Nursing

    Again, it never hurts to tell the nurse you're receiving report from that you'd like his/her first and last name for your acceptance/transfer note. If they dispute you on it, ask for the...

  21. Lifting huge laundry bags...

    nynursey_ replied to Drowsyrn's topic in General Nursing

    While there is a disclosure in most job duty provisions of nursing contracts, I'm seeing this trend become more and more popular, especially in my hospital. Non-nursing duties are being assigned to...

  23. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    nynursey_ replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that's the case, either. Perhaps some of the younger nurse do, but this isn't the case for myself. Unfortunately, the culture of the older nurses being so harsh but feeling as if they're...

  24. Documentation of name signing

    nynursey_ replied to cheryljo's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Ruby Vee. My hospital utilizes Epic Hyperspace, and as such, when scrolling through the patient's progress notes, the first and last name of every nurse that has ever seen the patient is...

    nynursey_ replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    This! This is what I was referring to. You make a wonderful point; the patient's response to illness and the illness--the focus of FNP. Physicians appear, by and large, to not have the focus of the...
