Why do some people think they are God's gift to nursing?

proud nurse replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

What frustrates me are the nurses who want to be spoon fed report. They come in early for their shift and instead of looking up their patient assignments they start chatting and getting their coffee...
Snapshots vs. The Big Picture

proud nurse replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

I was thinking the same thing. She's looking for something, since she sees a change in you. One good thing I see about this is that she's letting you know the nit-picky things instead of stockpiling...
Good looking new grad gets hired over average looking nurse?

proud nurse replied to kobebryant's topic in New York Nursing

I would take the compliment and consider it a coincidence. Get hired because of looks is one thing. Staying employed for competence and work performance is
Feeling insulted after job interview

proud nurse replied to NellieRN10's topic in Ob/Gyn

A lot of times one specialty thinks another specialty only does something. When I was a school nurse, people thought all I did was put on bandaids. When I worked nights in LTC, they thought all I...
How young is too young...?

proud nurse replied to solneeshka's topic in General Nursing

I have boy/girl twins, so they looked out for each other. I really thought my daughter would be the one who'd take charge, but my son surprised me. I started leaving them home for a few hours here...
Bending and Breaking the Rules in Nursing

proud nurse replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

The CNAs on 2nd shift shared their soul food potluck with one of the residents. She had some ham hocks and peas. I came on for my night shift, and started my rounds. I went into her room, she was...
Clinical experience on resume?

Skype Interview

proud nurse replied to Shane505's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

I would wear what will allow you to hear the best. I personally find earbuds a little annoying, so I'd go with the beats. Good luck no matter what you
Didn't get the job

proud nurse replied to yourstrulyjmc's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

3 interviews for one job seems like alot for them to make a final decision to not offer you the job. It would bother me, and make me want to know why they decided to go with someone else after having...
pediatric scrub tops and adult patients

proud nurse posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

I used to work at a children's hospital so I have a lot of pediatric scrubs, no infant ones though. Now I'm starting on a medical/oncology floor and I want to still wear my peds scrubs maybe once a...
Critical Thinking: you have it or you don't. Agree or disagree?

proud nurse replied to LTCnurse11's topic in Nursing Professionalism

I was asking a friend (a nurse that doesn't come onto allnurses) what she thought about this topic. She said of course I had critical thinking skills. She said to me that I'm the best wife and mom...
What is the environment like at your workplace? Do you like your co-workers?

proud nurse replied to KayyyT's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

I don't socialize with co-workers outside of work. I don't want to know every detail about their spouse, kids, pets, pregnancy, new house, how drunk they got,etc... none of that. I have some trust...
New Nurse can't eat lunch

proud nurse replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

I think it's pretty standard to not expect to break until you're caught up with your work. I don't know what your co-worker is thinking. The only times I've ever seen this happen was when two...
Complete surprise, in a good way, LTC experience so far

proud nurse replied to JBMmom's topic in Geriatric, LTC

I've always been fond of LTC. It's where I began, and it holds a special place in my
Pre-employment physicals

proud nurse replied to Zobu's topic in General Nursing

I just had an employee physical that was more extensive than any other I've ever had. I had my height and weight checked, lung/abd/heart assessment, visual acuity, PPD, immunization hx, urine/blood...
Was I a place holder?

proud nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

The last job I was hired for was only for 9 months anyway while the hospital converted to computerized charting. If they didn't hire me permanently, I'd be looking for a new job at the end of March....
Was I a place holder?

proud nurse replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

Everything you all are saying makes so much sense. I'm 43 yrs old, and played the game before so I don't know why this has been so hard for me. Probably because I've never been fired before. Maybe...
Was I a place holder?

proud nurse replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

I was in my resource week. Working independently taking on 4 patients only using the preceptor as a resource, truly was blindsided. And you're right, I am psyching myself out because I used to be...
Perspective: Taking a Step Back to Be a Better Nurse

proud nurse replied to shawna.k's topic in Nurses Rock

I've always like working the night shift because it seemed like I could steal away a few extra minutes to spend w/ my patients then when I worked any other shift. shawnakimberly, your poem is very...

I think the logo is fine the way it is
Medication & treatments on midnight shift

proud nurse replied to Micki72's topic in Geriatric, LTC

When I worked in LTC, if I had a treatment that needed to go on a resident's buttocks I made sure to plan to go the same time the CNA did rounds. That way, we could help each other and we weren't...
Night shift better for shy personalities?

proud nurse replied to mamacita2's topic in General Nursing

Nights might be the best shift for you if your shyness is something you don't think you'll be able to overcome. There will still be many interactions, but definitely less than what you'd have on any...
You might be a night shifter if...

In the summer, you want to strangle the neighbor who thinks it's cool to crank up the lawn mower at 0800, 0900, 1000... You write noc instead of night all the time...when your're not at work Around...
