  1. First RN job.

    M/B-RN replied to julz68's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, it is very normal. It would be abnormal if you were not scared and had no inhibitions. Congrats and good

  2. Would you give a drug someone else pulled from a pyxis?

    M/B-RN replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Medications

    Yes, and if it is an emergency you should. As the primary nurse you do not leave the patient, other people bring things to you and that includes

  3. Retirement in the nursing field.

    M/B-RN replied to A.B.123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If the OP was tryin to discuss the topic he or she would have commented by now. It is homework, I also agree that the way it is worded doesn't not sound natural. It was written by a

  4. Two questions...

    M/B-RN replied to LauraLiz's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I took my NCLEX 3 weeks after graduation and I got a nursing job 6 months after finishing

  5. New nurse with job that is causing anxiety and depression

    M/B-RN replied to nurseGi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Are they at least letting you know what kinds of things they need you to improve on? Otherwise it just sounds like they may want to phase you out and are trying to make it look like it's your fault...

  6. Job Satisfaction: Can it be real in this field?

    M/B-RN replied to thelittledoe's topic in Health, Stress Management

    For me, it is the fact that I have 10 things that I need to get done at a time because of the chronic understaffing night shift has to deal with, which in turn, leads to burnout, stress, and fatigue...

  7. I need tips on how to study lots of material in a short time span

    M/B-RN replied to EmilyEmily's topic in General Students

    I also used to spend a lot more time writing that reading. So I started typing it out instead because it went much faster. I would do all the questions by answering them outloud so that I didn't have...

  8. Pay check??

    M/B-RN replied to All Star_Pre Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    My first check came right in time to pay off my first large monthly student loan payment. With the rest, I went

  9. New to mother/baby nursing

    M/B-RN replied to alarn84's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I got a job as a new grad there. It really helped me to re-read some of my old OB notes. I reviewed mother and baby head-to-toe assessments, common postpartum medications, medications used for a...

  10. Got into a car accident after working a night shift

    M/B-RN replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I love nights but if I ever got into a car accident because of it, I would stop nights in a heartbeat. However, it's never good to leave a job without having another one. Drink a coffee 2 hours before...

  11. If I want to read a novel, I'll go to my Kindle app.

    M/B-RN replied to mariebailey's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that long posts are annoying, but all I do is simply skip it. I don't think there should be a limit, that's just silly. Everyone should be able to talk for as long as they want

  12. Pregnancy and work hours

    M/B-RN replied to Ilovethe80s's topic in Operating Room

    I agree that the responses are harsh. I love my coworkers and if one of them was pregnant I would not mind it if they got special treatment if they were having difficulty with pains or whatnot. I have...

  13. New Nurse can't eat lunch

    M/B-RN replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes we do things for each other, so the other person can finally eat. But it will be things like a PRN medication, answering yet another call light of a very needy patient, checking on a...

  14. Asking all nurses...need a consensus!

    M/B-RN replied to EquestrianRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I agree with what you have said OP. That is my understanding of it. At our facility if the doctor writes TID or BID, then pharmacy will schedule it automatically. If the docotor writes a PRN order...

  15. Acute Rehab preceptorship? please help

    M/B-RN replied to blueorchid981's topic in Pediatric

    If you don't take this job, it may be a while before you find another one. It is hard for new grads nowadays. Since it does involve pediatric patients, it will only help when you want to apply to a...

  16. Sleep Mask

    M/B-RN replied to Emilynn09's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I agree that earplugs are not comfortable, and mine would always fall out. I downloaded some white noise and I play that. I put on one earphone (since I lay on my side) and it helps me fall asleep...

  17. Would this be considered job hopping?

    M/B-RN replied to ryleighsmommy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It's going to look bad to some future employers. It depends on who is looking at your resume, though. If it's someone reasonable and you give reasonable and responsible explanations, which you have,...

  18. new job, bad anxiety

    M/B-RN replied to MadameFreckles's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Since you have figured out that you can't sleep there, then prepare for it like it were a true night shift where you wouldn't be able to sleep. Sleep before going in, pack lunch, and since there is...

  19. beanie babies

    M/B-RN replied to anon456's topic in Pediatric

    I have never heard of that, that's awesome! I wish we had stuff to give out to our babies, or at least had cute band-aids or

  20. How do you all like to start your shifts?

    M/B-RN replied to j_tay1981's topic in General Nursing

    I like to start my assessments right away because I have learned that if I tell myself I will do something later then something bad happens and I get caught up doing something else and I end up doing...

  21. You might be a night shifter if...

    M/B-RN replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    When you wake up on your night off at 3 or 4 am because you're ready to eat some

  22. What did you do...

    M/B-RN replied to SnowboardRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Was hired as a new grad to work

  23. Suggestions on first nursing job

    M/B-RN replied to MichiganRN13's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I never wanted to do med/surg and thankfully I didn't have to. I'm sure that if I had run out of options I would have applied to a med/surg unit because it would have been useless to be an RN and not...

  24. Need Advice! I have to make decision by Monday.

    M/B-RN replied to auntlala's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If another facility was willing to hire you knowing that you'd be leaving another place in 10 months, obviously that is not hurting you so badly. And if you end up happier at your new job, and you...

  25. False accusations.

    M/B-RN replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You did the right thing by not giving in to the demands. That only fuels the fire and makes needy people think that ALL of their demands come first. It's important to set limits with people like him....
