  1. What do you do when Work calls on your day off?

    MotherRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I didn't realize it was her personal cell phone until the day I decided to call the number, thinking it went to her office line at work, and instead I reached her on vacation, out of state with her...

  2. What do you do when Work calls on your day off?

    MotherRN replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    So, THAT'S why she used her personal cell phone! Thank you for clearing up the mystery! I added her name to the number in my address book so I would know when she was calling me in for work. Then,...

  3. Manifesting job offer by ordering new scrubs.

    MotherRN replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in General Nursing

    I'd chose family. Having those holiday's and weekends plus the option of off time in the summer sounds way better to me than exhausting, variable shifts. The extra money may not seem worth all the...

  4. Easy, dumb, common new grad mistakes

    MotherRN replied to SubSippi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    And when you spike IV fluid, make sure your tubing is clamped, so it doesn't prime by gravity, then end up with air bubbles all throughout once you get to the pump and try to prime it

  5. "Completing a BSN" ...or, "The Great Revenue-Generator."

    MotherRN replied to Guttercat's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think the classes talked about are more of the general studies courses, like literature, history, or humanities course that are required by most bachelor programs. I like them from an educational...

  6. What do you need when you start applying for RN positions?

    MotherRN replied to Clo611's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That's nice! Wish it had worked that way at my

  7. The "Q" Word and Other Mysteries

    MotherRN replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Nursing Humor

    I agree with the picking up a shift and getting in trouble. I lost a job that

  8. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am going to exit the discussion at this point. Too many things to do with school starting and my new job. I hope everyone has a restful, as-stress-free-as-can-be-expected-for-nurses upcoming

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry for the double post. It wouldn't post the original because I edited

  10. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When people evangelize, they aren't saying they personally are perfect and without sin. They are sharing the Good News. It is about spreading the message of Jesus. I agree with you all are capable of...

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When people evangelize, they aren't saying they personally are perfect or not a sinner. They are sharing the good news. It isn't about them personally. Its about Jesus. I agree with you that all are...

  12. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's MUCH better to just quote from anonymous sources snarky little sarcastic quips than from the book that is the inspired word of God when on All Nurses, apparently. And, when people continue to...

  13. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bundy was attractive and appeared to be injured to make himself seem harmless. Girls were duped into helping him, against their better judgment. Girls are better informed now thanks to studying these...

  14. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's sad so many Catholics shy away from evangelization. Have the courage of your convictions. Share the message. It is not being superior or judgmental to share the message of charity and

  15. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bundy, huh? Well, as native Floridian and from the era of Bundy ( and having studied him in my persuasion classes back in college along with Manson). I think what we all learned from Bundy was to have...

  16. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry you feel this way. But, that is the usual response whenever someone brings their religious beliefs into an argument. The truth is the truth- it's not

  17. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For me, the issue isn't the details of this one story, it's more about the big picture- the attitude being casually put forth that helping random people you run into in life when off the clock is a...

  18. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As a confirmed Catholic, I am obligated to provide good counsel when the situation arises. You, of course, are free to exercise your own will as to whether or not you choose to listen. Still it is my...

    It's not your duty as a nurse...its your duty as a human

  20. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The whole point of the post is that she would NOT be happy to talk to random strangers who invade her privacy when she is off the clock. And, nearly everyone who has posted agrees with this...

  21. Why Nurses Don't Want to Be Identified in Public?

    MotherRN replied to Mully's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't mean to be a kill-joy here, but, I feel for that guy! As someone who moved often over the years, I know what it feels like to be lonely. Sometimes I would strike up conversation with strangers...

  22. New grad, no job, SO confused

    MotherRN replied to momma2rn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The administrator of the WHOLE building at my current summer LTC is an LPN. LTC is a DIFFERENT world! It has been the domain of the LPN for so long that at my facility, we both are equal. And, I don't...

  23. New nurse here....what is my issue?

    MotherRN replied to NewNeuroNurse88's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in LTC this summer, and now that I have learned how to do tube feedings, hang the bags and program the pump; take blood sugars, give insulin injections and manage the highs and lows; do...

  24. The Summer Experiment is Coming to an End...and I am Counting the Shifts!!!

    MotherRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    In Summer 2012 I got my first two nursing jobs in LTC (my first jobs ever). Needless to say, after much venting here at AN, they both ended badly for numerous reasons. Fortunately, I was able to bump...

  25. Wish Me Luck!

    MotherRN posted a topic in School

    I have an interview in the morning for a permanent school nurse position! I hope it goes well. I have subbed at this school over the last year and really enjoy the atmosphere. It would be a great
