Quit Floating Me BSN, RN

I worked two travel contracts there. south wing 5 (Med surg respiratory unit) and trauma 4 Neuro rehab. Not too bad. Place is huge though.

Hello there! I decided I would make a thread to see what other fellow nurses thought about my "situation." I became a nurse in 2010 (I was only 21 years old). I got my first nursing job at a hospital that I did my practicum at. It was an in-patient ...

Thanks. I do understand I messed up really bad jumping from job to job. I just want a second chance to redeem myself and to show that I am a hard worker, I am a good nurse ... I am more than just a job hopper. I have tried looking into LTC facilities...

I am appalled at how awful your grammar is and how you talk about one of the patients on your floor.

1. State you work in - Florida 2. Years of experience - 3 3. Specialty/unit and work setting (clinic, hospital, prison, etc) - Mental health facility/crisis stablization unit 4. Hourly Pay (base rate) or salary - 25/hour 5. Differentials (if any) - N...

I couldn't even finish reading this.

If I have to go pee I will. Unless I'm in the middle of a code or rapid response there is no reason why you cannot take two minutes to go pee.

Keep peppermints in your pocket and pop them before you know you're going to get nervous.

I played a lot of World of Warcraft through my two years of nursing school. And the month leading up to me taking the NCLEX.

I work at a crisis stablization unit. One nurse per unit. We do 8 hour shifts at this facility. I work full time nights (midnight to 8:30am) five days a week. I come onto my shift tonight (my third shift) and the evening nurse (we get along well) tel...

I have mixed feelings to this... 1.) If you truly felt the aid was capable of doing it alone then saying she could do it alone was enough and that you were in report and could not stop at this moment *was not a wrong thing to do*. 2.) Right hip repl...

I don't want to look right now.

You are clearly taking this beyond context and what the OP meant. :poop:

I do not work at a hospital and there is no nurse manager or director of nursing at this present moment.

It's so we get a "well rounded education."

I worked in the hospital on Med-Surg most of my 3 years of experience. I've never seen a nurse (or aid) do a double there. No one can work 24 hours... that is laughable. I've been at this place for four months and it is common to see the mental heal...

Just remember... everyone makes mistakes. When you make a silly mistake do not lie and try to cover it up. Nurse on!

Uhhhmmm - you cannot deny a client food unless ordered by a doctor for medical purposes (NPO) or other situations in non-medical facilities (i.e. mental health client asking for snack right after eating 100% of a meal - even then I'd probably still g...

The insulin needles I have used before in the hospital are one time use. The pen itself is multi-use. The one time use needles are also safety glide. Once you give the injection, a clear protective plastic thing wraps around the needle so that it can...

https://allnurses.com/nursing-career-advice/nurse-career-battery-332451.html There is a thread about the same topic. Even nurses with many years of experience have failed. I have yet to be exposed to a test like that... But I will be very careful wit...

I've seen a lot of great nurses wearing these. I feel that the older nurses find it less 'embarresing' or 'silly looking' than compared to us younger nurses.

I would rather not have a clinical instructor push their religious beliefs on me or anyone else for that matter. You may be the nursing clinical instructor but you have no say in my relgious practices nor should you hint at it, either.

I am. I work on the a dial diagnosis unit so I get clients with mental illness and/or addictions along with detox. I have handed out my fair share of Librium for etoh WD and clonidine for opiate wd. I do not hold meds just because and I am sorry my ...

So I should be Flamed for having a different opinion? I went back and reread my post and I do find my comment stating that I know who is in pain or not is inaccurate and wrong. There really is no definitive way to tell. On that note I would never nev...

Actually, I am. And thanks for all the flames. It was getting a little cold here. Remind me to never share my opinion/thoughts on any matter on this website (hey, isn't that the purpose of this website?). You guys are horrible. Thanks for the berati...
