    But you're a nurse, you could've done this....

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

    I see both sides to the situation. But as my child's mother looking out for their best interest, I'm going to do what my instincts tell me to

    New Grad interview: Tell me about yourself - What do I say?

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

    I enjoyed reading your post, hawkesbe. I agree about coming prepared. BTW, I love your avatar. How can you not love Yetta?!! OP, it helps to review the company's core values/mission statement. If...

    New Grad interview: Tell me about yourself - What do I say?

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

    I agree. I interviewed recently, and shared some personal information. I definitely think it helped give a better picture of the type of person I

    I need to know the starting pay

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

    Perhaps for reasons a previous poster stated above, or that it looks like all a person cared about was the pay. Several websites I googled said it was a no-no. While I can understand the rationale...

    How did the 12 hour shift begin?

    proud nurse replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like the 12 hour shifts, but I've been doing them for over 2 years. Prior to that, I was a 0.9 FTE 8 hour shifts on night shift. I hated that even more. I had no life, was crabby all the...

    How to NOT Aid a Cheater?

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

    There is no way I'd do that for my supervisor, or have that expectation of anyone. Who does that? I wouldn't have any part in

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

    Gooselady, Perhaps I'm feeling particularly silly right now, but your description of this scenario with the nurse manager caused me to have a laugh attack that was much needed. But getting back on...

    Tokmom, I bet you recognized the names of the losers from your CLC groups right away,

    How do you sign your name?

    proud nurse replied to ohiobobcat's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking that I signed it first initial last name, RN. But now that I'm at work, I see that I write first and last name,

    Grand Canyon RN-BSN

    proud nurse replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So good to check in, and see so many of you are close to the end!! I'm excited for you all. We planned to go out to Phoenix for the graduation this month, but I had a change of heart. In a way I'm...

    do you drink coffee during your shift?

    proud nurse replied to aname's topic in General Nursing

    I love the taste of coffee, and I wish I could drink it, but it's very hard on my stomach. I'm actually quite envious of my coworkers who are able to drink the stuff all

    CNA impersonating RN

    proud nurse replied to Heaven-Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    Heaven-Leigh, Asking questions is a good thing. I find it irritating when people either lie about their title, or don't bother to correct people when they think they are something different. When I...

    Easter??

    proud nurse replied to breane3's topic in General Nursing

    I work for a Catholic healthcare organization. No holiday pay for Easter. I work the weekend program, so I work every Easter Sunday. I previously worked for a Catholic nursing home. Easter was not...

    Providing care for all including the family pets

    proud nurse replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been asked about the care of a pet. I would be uncomfortable with that, and immediately tell them to see the

    Being Bullied

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

    Libby, I've wondered that myself. I think if a person feels bullied, it is what they say it is. Much like the patient who complains of pain, I can't tell anyone they aren't being bullied if they feel...

    got my first pair of scrubs

    proud nurse replied to Chesterton1's topic in General Nursing

    Feeling like a blob is the main reason why I don't wear solid scrub tops. I have an adequate weight/height proportion, but I don't like how I look in a matching top and bottom. I think it looks good...

    I feel uncomfortable doing this

    proud nurse replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'd be reluctant to vouch for a distant family member who I only met once. I personally think it takes nerve to make that type of request. If I don't know someone's work ethic or strengths/weaknesses,...

    Embracing Night Shift

    proud nurse replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I started working nights to avoid the child care situation as well. My kids are in college now and I still work nights, lol. It suits my personality better because I'm not a morning

    3am bloopers

    proud nurse replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    Admitting a man in his 40's, the PCA writes down his weight and height on the white board. I confirm the info with the patient, "you're 6 feet tall? You look about 5'12" to me." It must've went...

    Advice needed. I finally passed boards but will be requesting a different nurse preceptor.

    proud nurse replied to 1Jessie86's topic in General Nursing

    It's common to have several preceptors. I personally would focus on trying to have a positive orientation experience, and not call attention to it. Many nurses don't like to precept, so she might be...

    Have you ever disliked a nursing job so much that you quit without notice?

    proud nurse replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    I've never quit without notice, but one job I didn't work out my full two week notice. I handed In my badge around day 4 because I just couldn't stand it any longer. It was in an assisted living...

    Falsification of Documentation?

    proud nurse replied to lowetidern's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is false documentation to back time a camera to 2 days earlier. And it's going against what you stated is the corporate policy. I would retake them, but I wouldn't have any part of back...
