  3. Life After Termination?

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

  8. Love Camp, Don't Love my Counterpart

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in Camp

    Thanks for the reply. Actually, this camp is not run very well at ALL! When I requested a lock box and a safe area for the controlled meds, all I was answered with was, "Well, the nurse is in here and...

  9. Philadelphia Nurses: Look Here Please!

    cnolan posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Any Philly nurses? I'm seriously thinking of relocating and Einstien contacted me about working in their trauma ER. Any thoughts/good apartment complexes?

  11. Med Error Question

    cnolan posted a topic in Patient Medications

    I inadvertantly gave 0.5 of a Lortab regular strength to a patient. The order was 0.5 of a extra strength. I followed my error with an incident report, and now my standing in med administration is in...

  12. So I've decided...

    cnolan posted a topic in General Nursing

  13. Had my first doctor scream at me today

    cnolan replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I gave a little post-op girl Zofran last week for nausea. She'd never had it before, and shortly after getting it, developed hives. As I was turning to call the doc, he walked in and started screaming...

  14. So I've decided...

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I appreciate that - I've been looking into other options outside of the hospital. I worked in one hospital for a year (float, where I got all the experience I have except the Peds), and now...

  15. So I've decided...

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    THANK YOU!!!!! I am NOT a new nurse - I think people are forgetting that. I graduated and began working in April 2005 - It's been two years that I've been a floor nurse. I've lived alone and worked...

  16. So I've decided...

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for those of you who gave me support. I can't BELIEVE that 95% of the people responding to this say "There's no way you can be burned out..." or "work part time"... or "New grad, new grad..."...

  17. So I've decided...

    cnolan replied to cnolan's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a floor nurse for two years. I've done pediatrics, ortho, med-surgh, rehab, and ICU. I just am NOT happy and don't even want to think about floor nursing. *sigh* I'd LOVE to work ER - in...

  21. How does this job offer sound to you?

    cnolan replied to Spring_Peeper's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Last night at work we had 2 RNs and 2 LPNs for 28 patients. It's not bad at night, but I can't imagine having such a poor ratio on

  22. How do you handle shift change admissions?

    cnolan replied to ljds's topic in General Nursing

    Our hospital handles it this way: Our report is taped for the next shift to listen to. That in turn leaves an entire shift of nurses on the floor to care for patients, tie loose ends, etc. When an...

  23. ABC.com nurse's blog

    cnolan replied to MommyandRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a huge GA fan - haven't missed an epi. That said, I have absolutely no problem with the Nurse's Blog - who cares? It's something stupid and made up to help people who missed and episode catch up....
