    Did you attend your RN-BSN graduation?

    proud nurse replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I will be graduating from my RN-BSN program in December. The graduation is in April. Hell yes I will be there, and I'm taking my husband and kids with me and making a mini vacation out of it. Like...

    Why do we hate admissions?

    proud nurse replied to firstinfamily's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind an admission if it comes before 0200. After that, I'd almost rather wait until morning to get MD orders instead of waking the doctor up. The patient comes up tired and cranky, in pain,...

    What kind of shift report was that?

    proud nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    What is the funniest/worst/quickest (any adjective) shift report you've received? I was just thinking about one I got a few years ago when I worked in the nursing home that covered all three of the...

    Pearson Vue Trick 2014

    proud nurse replied to Soontobern3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I mean this in the most sincere way possible. If your state BON posted your license is as active, who cares what the pop up said? You are an RN, you passed and that's what matters.

    Would you like your job more if you were paid more?

    proud nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering, would any of you be more satisfied with your jobs and the stuff that comes along with it if you were paid more? I feel appreciated by my employer once a year when I get a raise, and...

    proud nurse replied to ICURN3020's topic in General Nursing

    Answered my cell phone, "nurses station, may I help you?" You know how you can turn off the patient's call light in their room by pusing the button on the wall? I pushed the "button" on my bedroom...

    Help me feel better about this - Full time 8 hour nights

    proud nurse replied to amyshell's topic in General Nursing

    Full time 8 hour shifts on nights was so hard for me. All I did was work, sleep, and be crabby. I survived 4 months. When a 12 hour weekend program position became available, I applied for it and...

    Would you like your job more if you were paid more?

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

    When I was an LPN and I worked agency (early-mid 2000's), I'd often go to a certain nursing home that was a kind of a dump. It was not fancy, very basic, they passed meds with something dietary sent...

    Would you like your job more if you were paid more?

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

    Just makes me wonder because people will weigh the benefits of taking a job that pays $3.00/hr. more when you basically have to put up with the same crap at every job

    Me... Me... Me: A Sense of Entitlement

    proud nurse replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    This weekend I had a patient tell the PCA that she paid her salary. The PCA (a mature woman) held it together without flinching, even told her "no wonder I haven't seen a raise, I've been talking to...

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

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

    Exactly dusky. I've known of that too. Be discreet. In a perfect world, married couples would honor their vows and live happily ever after. But we don't live in a perfect word. I take my my vows...

    Family members recording nurses doing pt teaching

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

    I don't know if our hospital has a policy on recording discharge instructions. I work night shift and I never discharge patients. I would not like my image recorded either, I don't like the way my...

    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

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

    When my husband first started out his teaching career, his principal said every year at staff orientation "Don't have a honey where you make your money." Yet it never failed every year, some teacher...

    Full Moon

    proud nurse replied to bas22's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't experience latest one, but full moons never get by our unit. It's like the patients see something shining outside their windows and say "what's that I see? A full moon? My nurse doesn't look...

    Ever work with people who talk about church all the time?

    proud nurse replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree Esme. Which is why I said "don't get me wrong, I'd question anyone of any religion." In this case she happened to be Jehovah's witness. And it was more like she felt her religion was better....

    Ever work with people who talk about church all the time?

    proud nurse replied to Nola009's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I did work with a woman (not in my nursing career) who was Jehovah's Witness, and we got along well. We went to lunch, and would sometimes do things together outside of work. As time went on, I...

    proud nurse replied to OnlinePersona's topic in Psychiatric

    I agree with the above poster. Good post LadyFree. A school that is lacking in so many things would never have the sense to get a clinical at a classy site like the one you described. The Everest...

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

    You are not stupid. Be proud of the title you've earned, and continue to work diligently to prevent errors. I worked in a nursing home for 7 years. LTC is hard work and responsibility. There are a...

    Too much stuff behind ID badge!!

    proud nurse replied to NurseEric81's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Nope. Just the ID badge and the bright red RN tag. When I work at the nursing home, we had about 4 things besides our badges. We were told it was so that we could refer to them when state came...

    proud nurse replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was just thinking, when the patient and their guest start getting a little frisky, how nice it would be to get an honest call from the patient that they don't want to be disturbed. They call for...
